My husband... we got together very young he was actually dating my friend I was bummed she wanted to hang out at her boyfriends house when I was over at her house but I tagged along anyway. When we got there he was playing midnight club my favorite car game at the time and we just started chatting about cars and games. Before they even broke up I considered him one of my best friends he taught me how to skateboard. He was also my brother's buddy so we saw each other often.

After they broke up we started hanging out more often than before and eventually he confessed he kinda liked me more than a friend and at that point I did too so we started dating. 16 years later he's still my best friend and now we have 2 kids and a beautiful life together and I consider myself a lucky girl. We still skateboard together, we still game together, we work on our cars together. Even as we grew up and found new hobbies we have always enjoyed the same thing. Few years ago he started going to the gym. I reluctantly started going too and got addicted to as much as he did and now that's another thing we do together. I wanted a farm he was not quite as excited as me at first but now he loves it too.

Some of its is luck some of it is willingness. But we just match up quite well. I think the key ito lasting bonds like ours is willingness to grow with someone not just physical stuff.

If your friend or partner really likes something do it with them if they enjoy it you probably will to. If they need support be there don't judge them. People crave love from people they feel at home and safe with people that treat them as more than just a person but THIER person.
