I would love to hear how it’s gone for other people.
My (39f) friend (38m) and I have the big basic things in common: values, beliefs, political alignment, career and family goals, etc.
But the thing keeping me from thinking we’d work out is that in a lot of other ways, we are totally opposite:
He’s an early riser; I sleep in and stay up late.
He’s a minimalist with a subdued color scheme while I have books, art and memorabilia practically from floor to ceiling.
He’s meticulously well dressed at all times… I don’t think he owns a t-shirt. Meanwhile, we go to a brewery for dinner once a week with friends and I’m in yoga pants, t-shirt and messy bun. It’s a good day if I put on mascara.
He practices things until he’s perfect before he unveils anything — even a recipe. I wing most of my life and think mess ups are hilarious.
The thing about dating over 30 is that we all seem pretty set in our ways. I’m worried I would cause his perfectionism a lot of unnecessary anxiety if we decided to date.
Anyone have any experiences like that??
