These differences may sometimes fascinate lovers when they are still riding on the emotional high of a new romance. Nonetheless, when the novelty of a new love wears off, these dissimilarities may become more pronounced in the relationship and sometimes trigger conflict. Intuitive v Logical - The degree of our intuition or logic determines our daily decisions, analysis and problem-solving skills. Some people predominantly lean more on their intuition or hunches when making decisions e.g. A may strike a business deal because his/her hunch tells him/her that the deal will make him a kill. This may be contrary to any evidence that the deal will yield tangible results. On the other hand, others rest more on their logic e.g. B may never cut a business deal unless most of the facts depict that there is a high probability of success. When the intuitive is in love with the logical, the parties may sometimes toil to find common ground when making decisions due to their varying fashions of decision making.
Optimist v Pessimist - The optimist is a dreamer, they always see the glass full, they always see possibilities where there are impossibilities, they always see rivers where there is a wilderness. When the optimist takes a risk, they focus more on what they may gain, and makes a decision based on their potential gains. The pessimist is generally skeptical, and sees thorns where there are flowers. They see darkness where there is light. Whenever they take a risk, they focus more on what they may lose. The optimist has a more fulfilled life with lesser regrets as they are risk takers. Nonetheless they may fail to identify dangers that could jeopardise their dreams and goals at times. Contrariwise, the pessimist may mostly live a safe yet dull life. The pessimist may, however, always do a thorough preparation and practice due diligence whenever they choose to take a leap of faith. This means that they may take a much longer time to make decisions compared to the optimist which may occasionally lead to disharmony in the relationship. The downside of their delay means that opportunities may pass them by at times.
