We've been together for about a year and a half now and live about 100 miles apart. We see each other about 2-3 times a month on the weekends and talk on the phone every day.
Bottom line is we have different interests. She is more interested in fashion, celebrities, home design, etc.
I am more deep, and prefer philosophy, psychology, fitness, health and science. Whenever I bring up topics like this she will acknowledge it and really try to be interested but I can tell shes not. She claims ';she is not deep enough.';
I really love her, and I am happy, but recently our conversations on the phone especially have really lacked meaning and depth. I know this happens to some degree in a long disatnce relationship, but I'm wondering if our dissimilar interests are going to be an issue in the future?
I feel like I cannot intellectually connect with her. She is also my first real relationship. Any advice?I need some relationship advice. My girlfriend and I don't have the same interests...?
being in a relationship doesn't make u one,u are urself and she is still herself,that is where compromise comes in let her b herself and u b urself and be glad that u know what she isn't interested in and that goes for her too so what u guys should do u must avoid talking abt things that bores either of u,limit ur time when talking abt those things cos at least she tries to listen so when u c she has had enough drop the subject,it's not easy to b something u not,the fact that u different will make ur relationship stronger cos sooner or later u will enjoy each other's talks and hobbies,hope i've helped.....don't put on her abt liking ur hobbies cos u iwll push her away foreverI need some relationship advice. My girlfriend and I don't have the same interests...?
You said all that needs to be said....You don't connect intellectually with her. That is what will sustain a long term relationship. Time to move on!
lol...don't move on. OPPOSITE'S ATTRACT.
Time to weigh up the pros and cons of the relationship. she doesn't like what your into and you are not into hers.... this in time leads to none communication... i would move on ..........

Hi jtizz,
You and I have very similar situations. My gf is 150 miles away, and we only see one another on weekends. At first we were all caught up in the romance, passion, flirtation.
After 6 months it's obvious we have very different interests. She is a reality TV fan and I am more the outdoors type. She is an internet game fan, I'm more interested in working out, cooking, hitting the pub and socializing.
It's going to be difficult, given the distance you two are apart. It is difficult in any relationship for both people to feel completely fulfilled. Even if you try to appreciate the other person's interests, there will still be gaps.
You should rely on your friends and family for intellectual stimulation, conversations on your favorite topics, and don't try to pressure her to share these interests with you. Focus on what you two do have in common, and try to share in her interests as much as possible.
I'm definitely not the best person to give anyone advice. There is no instruction manual on how to maintain a long distance relationship.
good luck ~
