Just previous days ago,my colleague helped to see the compatibility between me and my boyfriend. She used our birth dates to calculate our compatibility. She told me that actually me and my boyfriend are incompatible to stay together. We have different views towards our life,slowly we will live a difficult life. My heart was dropped when she told me that. I am not a superstitious person,but when I heard about this,I still felt a bit uneasy about her words. Should I believe what she say? Or should I just ignore it? Please tell me,thanks.

There is more to life than just charts and tests. I and my wife are completely opposite and our life is far from easy but I find myself appreciating her opposing point of view because it shows me a different side of life.

The only person that knows the fate of your relationship with your bf is god and the two of you. I know that it is very easy to feel compelled to believe the advice of some of these colorful websites but I will admit to you that they can only cause you hurt as you begin to believe them. Do not believe them and instead be happy that you have your bf. Take care to always mention how much you love him as well as spend as much time together as possible! Good luck to you in your relationship with him. I hope you are having a wonderful day here in mylot and congratulations for your 500th post. Have a wonderful evening.

i remember doing that sort of thing when i was at school, I wouldn't really take all that much notice of that, even horoscopes on characteristics seem to be quite accurate but has been proven wrong so just be happy and enjoy ...

i find these compatibility tests ridiculous. how can you let numbers of dates decide on your relationship? will you date someone else if his numbers / dates is totally compatible with you but you don't feel anything for him? i believe no one is made perfectly for each other. there are bound to be arguements and disagreements in every relationship. we just need to sit down and talk it out. don't dwell on it and enjoy the companionship of your boyfriend. cheers ;p

I do not think that a relationship should be based upon birth dates. You can have the compatible birth dates and yet have a rocky relationship. A relationship is based upon what you contribute into it, not based on the stars or whatever. Remember, people can always say that your boyfriend and you are not compatible but it is always YOU who has the final say. Look deep into your relationship and try to see if you get along with your boyfriend. Do you quarrel often about little things? If so, then you might be incompatible. If not, don't believe your friend. Those little tests are just for fun and should never be taken seriously.

More importantly, it's how you feel. If you do not believe in it, you should dismiss it totally. You should try to forget about it too or else, it might affect your relationship.
If you slightly believe in it, it will definitely affect your future relationship with your boyfriend.
Sometimes, it's self fulfilling prophecy at work. If you believe in something or keep thinking of something, you will actually make it happen for yourself.
Only you know whether or not you and your boyfriend are compatible. Believe in your heart and mind.

Ignore her. You should know better how compatible you are. Anyway no 2 people are exactly alike. There has to be some differences as well as some things that are like. Sometimes because of experiences people change too. So some of the different views may or may not change later. Also i do not know if you are christian or not but the holy scriptures tell us not to consult fortellers of events. Acts 16:16-18; De 18:10-12; Lev. 19:31; 2Kings 21:6, 23:24; Isa. 19:3.

I don't believe it at all. I think common sense is what you need to use to determine if this is the person for you. Do you get along well or do you fight alot? Do you enjoy doing the same things, or are you always disagreeing over what to do? Can you live with whatever negative habits he has? These are the things you need to consider, in my opinion. Don't let passion cloud your judgment either. In any relationship, passion eventually fades to a certain extent so there has to be the commitment to the relationship far above and beyond all else. Good luck on your decision.

I think you should forget about this. The happiness is in your hands not decided by the date of birth. And lovers don't need to have totally similar opinions all the time, there should be some difference. which makes each other feel fresh and exciting.
And let's suppose, you pick one according to her saying which is perfect, can you ensure it will promise a perfect marriage? think before you leap.
Good luck.

Well, to answer your question I will give you an example. Astrologically speaking, my sun sign is Sagittarius, and I am married to a man whose sun sign is Gemini. Apparently, this means we are opposite, and when reading about our compatibility, most books say that we may have fun together for a short period of time, but we won't last because of our differences. Though, we are opposite in many ways--i.e. he tends to be anti-social and easily sees the negative side of things, whereas, I love to go out with people and tend to be an optimist--our core values and outlook on life is very similar. We have been together, as well as lived together, for over five years now. We have a twenty-month-old son, and we just got married in November of last year. We may be poor and struggle from day to day, but we are happy together and make each other happy. Every single relationship on the face of the planet has to have compromises to work. As long as you're happy to be with him, and he's happy to be with you, don't worry about it. If it ends, it was meant to end, and if it lasts forever, then congratulations! You've proven your colleague wrong. Does this colleague know your boyfriend? Is the colleague a female? I just question the motives behind telling you something so negative about your relationship. Now, on the other hand, if you are not truly happy with who you're with, you certainly don't need a tarot card reading to tell you to get out of the relationship. Anyway, I hope this was helpful. Good luck, and I hope you have a happy future with or without your boyfriend!

Don't let that judge your relationship, I know it's hard to do when you first hear it, but think about it, the more you worry about it affecting the relationship, the more it will. Every little fight or disagreement you have from now on, you might think, aw, it's because we're incompatible. This isn't the case, point being for example, when I was in High school, everyone who wanted to, took the personality test to match you up with YOUR most compatible mate...Let's just say I was uberly excited with the results lol, but did I get to date them? no, mainly because they were MUCH older than me, and I was still considered to be the geeky younger little sister who was friends with them haha. Was I heartbroken? no, I moved on and just focused on my studys....but did I meet them later after graduation at a bar? YEP! Did I interest them in ways? YEP! but only because I grew up, had a cool personality, and I'll admit it, I'm pretty lol. But I didn't let the test run my life. My advice, ignore the test, or if you find that difficult, go to a tarot reader, or even go get your palms read, and well, if they all say the same thing....well, maybe post and we'll talk more on it? GOOD LUCK!!

Personally, I was never one to believe or read such things like this and think it was actually the truth. If you are compatable with your boyfriend, and get along with him, no one else should have to tell you anything else. You need to follow your heart, and not listen to anyone else. They are often not thinking for your best interests. And if this man is for you, it should be up to you and no one else to decide that as well. Wishing you the best.

Hello!
Let's think a little bit: WHY would your birth date define anything about your relationship? I mean, why would it influence? Does that means that, if you are born in xx/xx/xxxx, you won't be able to have certain relationships with somebody? If that is it, find a logical explanation. There is no logical explanation. Just because you are born in a certain date it doesn't mean that you will be less/more rich, less/more lucky, nor anything like that. Of course, what starts one day will have to end. Which means that you and your boyfriend won't stay together forever. But it certainly doesn't mean that you both can enjoy the time you spend with each other.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

Does it has something to do with the kind of relationship you have right now? If you think it does then believe. But it has nothing to do with it, then why believe? Personally, I don't believe on such. It is still the kind of love, respect and acceptance you shared that matter most.

You know your relationship...a compatibility test (which someone created) doesn't. As long as you two are committed to each other and want to make it work...it will. People think that LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED to make a relationship work...well love is important, but its not everything. There are going to be days where loving them might not be easy...but being committed to STICK WITH IT is what is going to pull you through tough times. Remembering to communicate effectively and lovingly...
If you have other reasons to not be together like abuse, or he spends all of his money on stuff other than bills, or he's addicted to making your life miserable...then by all means...leave. But if you are basing your relationship on things like horoscopes and a man made test, you might want to examine what the relationship means to you.

absolutly not. My wife and I are both gemini and I have always been told how wrong that is but now 6 years and 2 beautiful daughters later we are still proving that theaory wrong. compatibilty is determined by the 2 of you and not any date.

To be honest it's really up to you and your BF how your relationship turns out a bunch of numbers and messages from a random compatibility test arent going to change that, I know you are not superstitious and I hope you DO NOT take your colleague's guidance on this issue if you truly love your Boyfriend =P
