We met and became best friends, all while he was trying to date me. I thought we couldn't be more different. I was the partying, city girl type while he loved hiking, nature and was definitely a country boy. But he was sweet, honest and funny and kept my attention. We started dating and we found out, low and behold, we had lots in common. It wasn't our musical taste (Classic Rock for him, Pop for me) or majors (Textile Design for me, Biology for him). It was that at the core, our morals and values were exactly the same. Plus we do share a love of reading and movies, fantasy and sci-fi are topics we love. 10 years later, with 1 year of marriage behind us, we are still just as different, but still the same.A few years ago my husband put out a post online and found a bunch of people in our area to play D+D with. I thought he was nuts inviting a bunch of probable serial killers to our house, but low and behold there were no serial killers, just really, really nice regular guys (most of whom we have become good friends with). For a year they tried to get me to play, but I was too shy, or nervous, or whatever was going through my head.Finally, they convinced me and I have been playing, and loving it ever since. Actually, I am now into D+D more than some of them, and it is something that my husband and I will always be able to share together.Even if I hadn't liked it, I would still be supportive of something that my husband loved to do so much.I guess the reason I am boring you with all of this is because I feel the heart of a good relationship is that you have similar goals in life, morals and values, and everything else will fall in place. Looking for someone with the same hobbies is a great place to start, but is not the only way. Two people in love will find common interests but will also respect the other persons need to be themselves.The truth is everyone is just looking for someone to love and to love them back.  And if that person happens to love gaming, well that is just an added bonus...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
