Would you chose your obsession or your romantic interest?

Post Reply New Topic

As others have said, my GF IS a special interest.

Well, while many people have chosen the romantic interest, I choose to look at it more realistically: if she truly loves you, she'll love you as you are and not expect you to give up the things that are important to you. A person who expects that will usually expect you to give up other important things later on, resulting in you either being miserable or you having to choose to let the relationship go. That type of situation or attitude simply does not bode well for the future.

I'm a friendless asexual and like it that way. Meerkats are my special intrest and I would not give them up for anyone. When I become a meerkat veternarian, I will be one of those "married to the job" types. Even if I married another person who liked meerkats a lot, he/she would have to understand and accept that I love the meerkats more than them. If I ever had children (cold day in hell) they too would have to accept that I love meerkats more than them. I even love meerkats more than my own family weither they like it or not. Yes, I'm the poster child of special intrest.

yeah, i tend to mix my obsession to crush, too....*sigh*
i should have, as usual, phrased my question better. the person wouldnt be asking you to give up your interest....just, which one would you chose over the other? unrelated to anyone's will...if it just had to be done. (we dont really know why)

My romance would pretty much HAVE to have my interests. I don't logically see how a relationship could be formed with another female that wasn't also a gamer and interested in the sciences. There would just be far to many clashes for it to work. And I don't realistically see myself giving up gaming, and I most assuredly know I couldn't drop my interest in the sciences. So, I'd have to go with the interests.

I wouldn't say that the interests are more important than a relationship however. Merely that I cannot give up the interests. Should I find a girl interested in the same things, she would become more important.

I'd choose The Kinks over intimacy, any day. I'm not meant to be in such a relationship.

True love, rather than petty romantic interest.

I will always choose my fiance over my Black Holes, any day. Of course, my fiance is also a "special interest." Not to mention, he would not be my fiance to begin with if he did not accept my intense interest in these spectacular gravitational events.

In fact, he had also made taken somewhat of a "special interest" in black holes for a while. He had not learned nearly as much as I learned about them, but he certainly knows far more than the average person.

He and I have had extensive discussions and debates far into the dark hours of the night dicussing black holes and scientific theories and discoveries.

I'm absolutely useless without art. I choose art.

50/50 I love my obsessions and I love my romance, but unfortunelately that ain't going so well for it, time to deliever dead roses to myself yet again.

I love being with my friends and at the same time also sticking with my obsessions (obviously when im at home), it occupys my mind...

I don't have a romantic interest, even though I am interested in someone romantically?
I do have several really close friends. And I would never trade my special interests for anything. Sooo...
but if it was a life or death situation, I would....

My SPECIAL interest is my ROMANTIC interest (Maggi~!)

Special interest for life forget about romance man.

I choose my boyfriend over other interests. I wouldn't want to be like my former "best friend" who would almost always choose his stupid television shows or whatever over hanging out with me. That's just not right. It feels just awful when someone you want to spend time with would rather watch TV shows or DVDs all day than spend a few hours a week with you, so you shouldn't do that to other people. I would probably usually choose my interests over friends who aren't that close, however.

Right now my "special interest" is classic gaming, and I've been making my boyfriend play video games with me a lot lately. So the two can go hand in hand.
