This is probably the more important part of the story. Each one of us has to sit and think about what we would like in another person. Having the same interestsdoesnt necessarily mean that you can get along with a person.
For example, if you a person who likes to talk a lot, it doesnt mean that you could like another person who likes to talk a lot as well. If two people try to keep talking at the same time then obviously, there cannot be any dialogue.
So also, if you are the silent reserved type and the other person too is the silent reserved type, the there will hardly be any dialogue at all! The word over here is “compatible.” The interests of partners should complement each other and not clash.
