Two steps forward, one giant fight afterward? This is not great news for opposites in love.
According to a new survey by eHarmony, opposites do attract in that they're drawn to each other at first. But sadly for Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat, opposites tend to be attracted to each other for only a short time, but eventually their differences will drive them apart and cause them to attack each other. For instance, an introvert might be attracted to an extrovert in the beginning stages of a relationship, but later, the couple's opposing social patterns could cause tension between them, and two extroverts or two introverts might be more likely to have a successful relationship.
Of course, that doesn't mean a relationship will work only if you have everything in common. You may just have to work a little harder to find ways to be compatible in the long-term. Still, something that's exciting in the beginning doesn't always automatically lead to a steady relationship? Um. A-duhhhh.
Are you and your guy similar or opposites? Have you ever been initially attracted to your opposite only to have him drive you crazy (in the bad way) later?
