What would you do?

My boyfriend and I have nothing in common. However, he has so much in common with one of my friends but they never met. I would feel so weird if they met because they would be so much better together than we are but I can't just break up with him because of a person he never met. The friend also goes to college 6 hours away but we live in the same town. I know I'm being ridiculous but they have a LOT in common. Me and him try to discover each other's interests but it's hard because I won't understand references he says and I can't bring up certain things in my life. It's like I'm a bad match for him and I've avoided having them meet for this reason. I also feel guilty because it's like I'm obligated for them to meet and I'm dissing myself because I don't have their interests. Help :(

    People with differing interests frequently make good matches because they have much to share. However if one or the other has little interest in the others wants and likes (its okay to not like everything but (collective) you should be willing to try new thing and expand your horizons.
    Its called growing together.

    Hmm.. An intresting situation. Perhaps you should Allow them to meet, and if they dont take to one another, then you have your anwser. If they do begin to like one another, Let them live their own lives. I Have come to know that if you step in the way of fate, Your just hurting your own cause.

    excuse me, but, didn't you say you two have "nothing in common?" Shouldn't THAT be the reason to break up?

    sooo, what do YOU think...about your life/relationship...the quality of both ...or does he tell you whether that's good or bad too?
