Both of us being introverts is really a good thing for me, because we have the same mindsets on a lot of things, so far there's only been very few things we disagree on. People say "opposites attract" but I really don't believe that. I mean, I guess they can, but in my opinion it would be annoying to be with someone who constantly disagrees with you, or you have a big difference such as they're a vegan and you're not, or you have too many differences where you can't find an in between to compromise. Even if me and James have slightly different music tastes, we'll open up and listen to each other's music, some of his I do like and some of mine he likes. It's not like he said "omg I hate heavy metal music don't listen to that crap around me" etc.
Also he said when he gets his own place he wants a cat and a dog, and I'm like well if I'm going to live with you someday I don't want a dog. So I guess we'll wait and see what happens there since that's too far in the future to predict obviously. Maybe I can talk him out of getting a dog, or I'll let him get one so long as it's not a barking, jumping, annoying one. Who knows. But at least he likes cats too, so that's a plus. He just likes all animals in general. Good for me, since when I get my own place I want a bunny and a cat. Like I said, I guess we'll have to compromise with the dog thing once the time comes.
Other than those few differences that we can compromise with, our mindsets, hobbies, and interests are pretty much the same. I like that he has an old soul, that he listens to oldies instead of shitty club music, and we have a lot that we can talk about so we never get bored while we're talking with each other. That's why I can't wait to meet him in person, because I know that we'll be able to talk each other's ears off, even if we're quiet around most other people. Of course I might be a bit shy and nervous at first but it won't take me long to really warm up to him.
But I also like that he knows when to be serious when I'm in a pissy/depressed mood, and not try to joke around to cheer me up like some people would. I find extroverts don't know how to deal with depressed people, so they get weirded out being around us, and that's another reason that I'm glad James is an introvert so he knows how to deal with my depression and quietness. Plus he's been through depression as well, so he understands which is nice. Nothing worse than trying to talk to an overly cheerful person who's never been depressed, about being depressed. They just don't get it.
So that was a bit of a longer entry than normal, but there you have an idea of how our personalities are as well as you know what he looks like. By the way, I think he's cute in his appearance, even if a lot of people wouldn't. He's told me that the girls in New York just immediately judge his appearance and don't even get to know him, so he was happy that I got to know him and wanted to take things this far.
Only 71 days left, I'm getting excited and nervous. I hope that everything falls into place on his part so that we can actually meet on May 7 like we had planned. He said he'll make sure it does. So I just have to trust him.
