I'm sure many us have used the phrase 'he's not on the same frequency' many times to describe people. We all know it's true, but teachers always tell us that variety always brings in the colour.

I had a discussion with my friend after a movie today, and quite a good one. I discovered the fact that even though different people can be friends, they have to 'be on the same frequency' for something, because something in common is the only thing that can keep a relationship going. That's also the only time variety can play its colours.

And if being 'on the same frequency' can't happen, at least make sure the companion isn't a mouth-blaster. What I mean is that he doesn't insult everything you do or questions about your life choices. I wouldn't say it is boring or angry going out with this kind of person, but I would definitely say that it gets tiring.

In fact, I have met these kinds of friends, those who blast you all the way and those who actually try to be your friend even though they don't find some of the things you do interests them. Then, you will somehow find a way to accomodate them too, or maybe you might be the one to start it. That's how relationship can grow.
