So you meet 'Mr Right' who has the same interests , you find lots to talk about and have discussions on everything , history , politics, religion....all very interesting and you find you agree more often than not ..... but

the 'spark' is there with someone who you have nothing in common with, opposite in opinions, background...everything in fact ...

which way do you jump ? ( did you jump?)

( before anyone asks, no it isn't applying to me ;)

Evening Rose:)

Spark for me is more important than compatibility. Mr Right sounds like a mate and the spark like a partner.

And of course I jumped;)

Look at Hugh Jackman - which I do often. There's a real spark there but I doubt we have anything in common. I would however overcome the lack of conversation:-)))

I have had a spark with someone who I was very tempted to take a risk with ....BUT THANKFULLY I put my sensible head back on and have stayed with my compatible OH (28 years) I could have messed things up big time.Phew!!!!!
It would have been exciting though lol.

Compatibility wins! But who's to say you can't have both?

OH and I are not alike in many ways but we've learned to live with that. We went for "spark" - 37 years ago:-))

I would prefer Mr Right rather than Mr spark, I like someone I can talk to and have the same interests as, and I know they say opposites attract but when the spark has gone out and that initial lust thing ends then your oposite can be very boring.

Go for the spark and see how long it lasts. If it keeps going, forget Mr.Right - he's probably Mr.Wrong.

If the spark fades away - you can always rely on Mr.Right - but hey! not before you look around for another spark!

Hmm - not thought about this before.
Must have gone for the 'spark' - unfortunately a few others did too!
We're still friends- probably moreso now than before - but I wasn't prepared to put up with his 'playing away' LOL
(BTW, I've met every woman he's had affairs with - even when he was married to No 2) LOL
Must be a bit weird for them.
