Allright, it's time to tell you something. You're not going to like me for this.
I seriously dislike theatre plays and musicals.
And to make stuff even worse, you're the very first person who participates in theatre I actually like. It's probably a dutch thing, but all the theatre people I know and have heard about here are egocentric overly dramatic attention-whores.

I'm sorry if this shocks you so I'd like to add, altough I have said that more than once, that I really like you. And I'm sure there's more people in theatre that are really likeable, but maybe just not in the Netherlands or I just ran into the wrong people. There's quite a few references though as two of my friends have studied theatre technique (as in lighting, audio, video).

Eitherway, this has an ontopic side to it; I would think twice before starting a relationship with someone who has parts in plays. So I don't think of it as a strange or stupid thing that you didn't date her because of the form of theatre she attends.
Sorry to hear that it was a mistake though... Or maybe not

And I stick to my point: I wouldn't want a girlfriend who can't share what is most important for me; Music. Somehow though I've so far managed to run into girls who have a great taste in music and into girls who say they don't care for music, until I play music when they're there. I somehow manage to pick the right stuff, because after they've been at my place I'm always making mixed tapes for them... Yeah

Musical taste may seem like a trivial detail to you but it's not to him. He places a higher value on it and because of that. That's the main reason I told him to dump her. So what if he likes other qualities in the girl it's not worth it if he places such a high value on music taste that way. You'd have to be in his shoes to really understand.

No, you are right, S_k a majority of the people associated with dramatic theatre/musical theatre are very unlikeable people. Sara is the first one that I have come across that is a bit different than the normal stereotype but a majority of the time people in those fields live up to the stereotype.

Egocentric overly dramatic attention whores is all they know it's their way of life and it's fraking annoying.

Allright. I sort of hoped it was a dutch thing.
But Sara rocks .

I wouldn't say you're being too harsh at all. After all, music conveys emotion, right? And if you can't share that bond with her, then it'd be difficult to pursue a further relationship with her. I know that for a fact. I could not date someone who didn't like indie music.

Maybe not being too harsh, but I spend a huge majority of my free time on music in some shape or form. So before I would even consider going out with someone, I make sure that they like at least some of the music I like (though that's a lot, it's easy to find common ground if you try). I wouldn't want to date a girl who won't go to concerts with me because that's what I do; I kinda feel like if it's that important how'd you get so far? At the same time, do what you want man... I wouldn't take advice from a bunch of people you don't really know on the internet about how your relationship should work.

ilashes.

I think its probably dependent on the situation or more specifically, the two people involved. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy the same types of music that I enjoy and although I tolerate it, I don't like the music that he listens to.However, every once in a while I will catch him singing along to one of the songs on a playlist of mine and it will simply melt my heart because it's so off beat for him to do that. Sometimes its good to be different, just make sure it is what you want and something that you can handle.

If its not, tell her to kick rocks.

As long as a girl can interest me I couldn't give two shits what she listens to, even if she were into the Decemberists. *shudders* I'm into independent music, but not like "Indie Rock".

Hey, I like that last decemberists album .

The Decemberists are really more like folk pop, and they're fantastic.
