Risk averse, sensible, serious man / impulsive, spontaneous woman - could it ever work?

[TheMoistWorldOfSeptimusQuench]

He's very nice

But very different from me

What do you think?

If you don't give it a go,you will never know - go with your impulsive spontaneous instincts!

Have you seen this thread?. It could work.

Ooh sorry didn't realise this had been done recently! Sounds positive...

• I didn't mean it to come out like that, sorry! It was interesting to hear from others who had happily settled with their opposites.

No, no, I know you didn't... just that if there's a recent thread, people have probably already said what they have to say on the subject.

Unless it's a bumsex thread, natch.

Yep sounds like me and DH. We seem to even each other out. Saying that he has become more spontaneous whilst I have become more serious (not much mind you!)

I didn't see the recent thread!

Anyway, sounds like me and my DH too! We are both grateful for eachother although if you are highly strung as well as impulsive and spontaneous (like me) then it can make life very colourful! But it works really well for us really

Hmm, interesting.

We are so different though.

I have known him for a few years, it's been a very casual relationship (meeting once or twice a year, when we've both been single). But he came down to stay last night, and it felt a bit different. He's made some changes in his life that would make him more available iyswim, and now I'm wondering.

I never in a million years thought I would end up with the sort of man my dh is. We went out for five months before he started to speak to me (he was very shy) and it was nine months before I was kissed by him.
We are still very different in just about everything - political views, the food we eat, things we enjoy doing etc but I could not imagine being with anyone else.

Aah, that's a sweet story, GentleOtter
