Do opposites attract or do relationships work best with people like us?

Well yes and no, and no and yes! There has been a huge rise on online dating sites and many are now offering personality “tests” for ‘compatibility,’ which always worries me. Since time began people have been attracted to someone for a whole variety of reasons, many of them illogical (and rightly so) and, like buying a property, you often don’t know what you want until you see it and then any previous preconceptions get rationalised away:
Yeah OK I know she’s not what I originally thought would be my type but she’s just so positive.
But you didn’t have ‘positive’ in your ‘list of requirements.
Well I do now.
