stop trying to find someone who likes what you like and hates what you hate. try to find someone who you enjoy anyway and treats you well.

To a point yes but having nothing in common is tiring really.

I feel like gaming is something you both want to have in common if either of you really enjoy it. Otherwise it seems like it usually turns into a problem.

I say this as someone who never stopped looking until I found a gaming buddy in a partner. When every night is a date, lan party, and sleepover all at once... I certainly can't tell you what's important to you, just never settle.

It's also nice to have shared interests. But I have friends to chat with about the latest Final Fantasy game.

You can't really decide what others want in life.

Sometimes it’s better to have different tastes. My ex and I liked the opposite flavors of gummy bears. It was so convenient. lol

Yeah, but the end wasn’t gummy bear related. lol

Sometimes the universe has other plans.
