			Do opposites attract?
				Back

	Partners with different characteristics can complement each other!
	Complete opposites can be attracted to each other, but for most times, not for very long!

So what happens when things get mixed up?	A quiet Introvert may find an outgoing Extrovert exciting and stimulating, and be attracted to their sociability and energy! The outgoing Extrovert maybe attracted to the quiet stability and mystery of an Introvert. The balance between the two can endure the ups and downs of a relationship. Sometimes what originally attracted can eventually repel, the Introvert may wish the Extrovert would be quieter, stay at home more and share more intimate moments together. The Extrovert may get turned off over time, by the quietness and find the Introvert boring!
Tips on how to get on with opposites	1. Know your type: Click here and do the test - what type of person are you? Are you an outgoing person (extrovert)? or are you a quiet person (introvert)? 2. Talk about your differences It's easy to cranky at others when they do things differently to us. Instead of reacting with a negative judgment, talk to them. Find out why they did what they did and what their intention was.
Remember why you were first attracted	When the initial burst of enthusiasm for someone has faded, don't assume it's all over. This is the time when the differences between you become irritants. Instead of becoming irritated, remind yourself of what you liked about them when you met. Focus on strengths, and learn from them, and try not to focus on the differences.
Negotiate!	There are many different ways to handle a problem, and the simple day to day things, you don't always have to do things one way, a change is good! Talk things through. Let each do what they need to do, while also maintaining the relationship. Learn to be flexible!
