Special interests and talking to people about said interest

Exactly!! So if you both share hobbies great, but if you don't that doesn't matter. My husband wasn't a Prince fan when I met him, but he got to listen to some of his music (he had no choice!! LOL!!) and came to some of his concerts which he found he enjoyed after the 1st one. So now he enjoys Prince but not to the extent I do and I enjoy some of his music tastes.

It would be a very boring world if everyone enjoys doing the same stuff in life, don't put yourself down because someone else will! you need more confidence in yourself! My friends have got hobbles that are no interest to me IE rock climbing because I am disabled and there is no way I could ever dream of doing that sort of hobble!.. but I wouldn't ever be rude to someone I'll still enjoying hearing what they had been up to because they are friends.
