> Wow what huge expectations If "I want someone who has the same cultural taste as me" in terms of films etc. is "huge" then I guess we should just marry at ra

  I was reacting more to "if a person doesn't share my tastes and isn’t willing to sit with me during all these moving and emotionally rich experiences day in and day out", especially the "day in and day out" part. That said, if I would limit my mate choice to someone who likes the same films as me I'd be setting myself up for a lonely life ;) (especially since I am already not the best at approaching women I'm interested in (or at least I wasn't, some 20 years ago).

    Ah, ok, I see, sorry if I came across accusingly. Think my tone was a bit harash. Did you find someone? How did you do it, given how shy you say you are/were?

      Np :) Its a long story but involved first developing a friendship and months of fighting feelings of loosing control until giving in and replacing the fear of rejection by a fear being abandoned and being jealous as a result. Actually it is a miracle she became my wife later on... We first met in a bar, our friends knew each other. We went swimming weekly with a small group of friends and started doing more and more together. It was the time of the first sms text messages, what a time that was, now I almost feel old...
