opposites attract?

I woke up this morning to an open facebook home page .. and the first thing i noticed was "Fade into you " - Mazzy Star
the 90's are a bit of a blur but that song was one of them that i did remember from the cruel intentions sound track. Come on , dont act like you didnt LOVE THAT MOVIE.
In my semi awake still very hung over haze -- i started thinking
Do opposites really attract? I recently just got back in the dating pool - so much has changed
like when you ask a guy out, do you still expect him to pick up the tab? And what are facebook lurking rules for the guy you met the night before? These are questions that some one should answer , preferably in a condense 20 page manual.
Im no where near qualified to give any type of relationship advice --
but i will say this. I dont agree with this idea that "opposites attract". It leaves you with this promise that after you attract you will actually stay attracted, which i find is never really the case.
I think we all secretly have this need to find our reflection, someone who makes us not feel so crazy after all. Regardless of how narcissistic that may sound- its the dame truth! and if i need to be a pre-maddona to say it
then your dam right i want only green skittles and a completely red room with imported zebra covers from the jungles of Congo or somewhere near it.
But who am i kidding - nothing is ever that black and white. Sometimes your reflection is the last thing you want to see, so i guess dating your complete opposite is the equivalent to never turning on the bathroom lights when you are brushing your teeth -- for the fear that you may at some point accidentally see yourself.
Hey these are just thoughts... i have this unwritten obligation to update my blog .. and if im going to be consistent then be expecting random morning thoughts
i have plenty more you just wait and see
