There is something special about meeting a girl who magically has the same interests, laughs at all your stupid jokes, or will go with the flow about anything you say. Then you get to a point where she doesn’t find you as charming, or she’ll all of a sudden never mention how she loves indie music, and be relegated to pop. The curtain drops. People are funny, especially at the beginning of relationships, we pretend to like the same things. Why? Is it because we want the person to like us? Is it because we want them to associate us with their interests. There is nothing wrong with genuinely wanting to take interest in something that your significant other is interested in. A girl who will watch a football game with you, or be willing to go to a concert where she doesn’t even know the band, is a rare catch. Sure, she could be sitting there hating the whole thing, but she goes because she wants to share that with you.  If it’s important to you, than it’s important to her. That is a really admirable trait, to be genuinely open minded to new tastes. But the ones who will pretend to like something just to score brownie points with you, I don’t get it. People don’t have to like the same things.  If a girl lies to me and says she loves hockey, I’m not gonna think more or less of her. Yes, it’d be cool to have somebody to watch a Rangers game with, but I have guy friends for that. It’s not going to make the difference, and it will be that much weirder when she all of a sudden is like, “oh fuck that, I hate hockey.”
