Man in black: He died well, that should please you. No bribe attempts or blubbering. He simply said please, please, I need to live. It was the please that caught my memory. I asked what was so important for him; 'True love' he replied. And then he spoke of a girl of surpassing beauty and faithfulness...I can only assume he meant you. You should bless me for destroying him before he found out what you really are.
Buttercup: And what am I?
Man in black: Faithfulness he talked of, madam, your enduring faithfulness! Now tell me truly, when you found out he was gone did you get engaged to your prince that same hour or did you wait a whole week out of respect for the dead?
Buttercup: You mocked me once! Never do it again! I died that day!
Buttercup: [pushing him down the hillside] You can die too, for all I care
Man in black: As.......you.....wish.......
(It's perfectly Jack and Jill-ish, isn't it?)
The idea has been done so many times, yet how often do you actually hear of two people getting together that way? Love is supposed to happen in the company of compatibility, similarity, and shared interests. Like all those happy couples on the eharmony commercials.
I was talking to Vince the other day and telling him I was getting bored with the online dating site (I never did hear any more from Mr. Blue Eyes, by the way). He suggested I add more information to my profile. Now I'm wondering if there is a way I can attract a guy I would initially hate but then, after getting loaded on tequila, would grow to love. What would the anti-Jill look like?
I am an optimist who sees the good in everyone. He would be a cynic who trusts no one.
I'm a little bit rock n' roll. He would be country, or worse, folk.
I have a good paying, sensible, steady, corporate job. He would be living pay cheque to pay cheque doing work I probably don't want to know about.
Bah, I don't care. Just make him look like James Marsden and I'll make it work.

You don't have to be complete opposites to hate someone. Actually, you could be very similar and hate someone because, perhaps, you are both very stubborn and clash on something. Maybe it's a particular characteristic that you have to have for that to work out...
You forgot Buffy and Spike in your list.
I am very stubbornly opposed to most folk music. I know I will never go to Folk Fest looking for a date.
Buffy and Spike--noted, although I never really wanted to see them together.
Opposites attract. It's true. Take my story for example. I am now married to the love of my life. I've been with him for 8 years. There is a huge age difference. We have different tastes in music, religion and movies. Our jobs are completely different. Our interests in animals are different. That's what makes things so great. We are so different that we never run out of things to talk about. He has all the qualities that I don't have. I may have very little patience yet he has all the patience in the world. I hate yard work and he loves it. Together we are an awesome team.
Don't worry Jilly, you'll find true love, probably when you least expect it.
