you will probably never find someone who has the exact same taste in literature, film, and music as you do. in my whole life, I've met only a couple people that share my taste in movies, tv, or music, but never someone with the same taste in all mediums. this doesn't necessarily preclude having a fulfilling relationship with someone though. there are plenty of people out there that are into film, music, and/or literature; they just won't have the exact same taste as you. if you're willing to let them pick some of the time, you could have a great relationship. weirdly enough, it can also be great to date someone who is totally apathetic towards your passion. I dated a girl in college who just didn't care about music at all. it was fantastic; I played whatever I wanted all the time! in some ways, it can be easier to date someone with mostly orthogonal interests. in my experience, relationships are a lot more "practical" than we like to think. stuff like how your daily routines mesh together tends to matter a lot more than sharing each other's deepest passions. the meaning of "a clean house" can be much more impactful than the meaning of "a good film".
