Type B Personality potentially dating a Type A?

[totalrookie]

So, I'm 80% Type B personality - my philosophy on everything is "No hurries, no worries" - I never feel stress or pressure to do anything. The 20% Type A I have is the fact that I'm very routine and scheduled - dependability, punctuality, and structure are all important to me. I'm a very logic dominant person and those three characteristics are what make sense to me logically. Also, I have consistently done very well for myself (career/school related - but I just haven't felt pressure to do so or stressed myself trying to advance)

I may potentially date a 100% Type A personality - she is the prototypical Type A...work-aholic, high stress, would take recongition over money, constant overachiever and feels pressure/obligation to be "everything to everyone."

I wonder if this will create a good balance or would be a huge mistake. We have a lot in common, but that is one glaring difference that I'm just not sure about.

Any non-worriers out there ever date or currently dating a total stress whore? Can you get along without bringing their stress into your life or has it been an epic failure?

My ex was super organised and I am the opposite. I remember going on holidays with her, she would wake me up at 7am and have the day planned, sighteeing here and a tour to wherever....it was bullcrap, all I wanted to do was sleep in and chill on the beach.

Yeah - I totally feel the same way. Vacation is vacation, which means no obligation. Do what you want when you feel like it - not get up at 7 and have every second comprised of "something". I go to Vegas in a week and my gameplan is to wake up when I do, work out, and then go play poker and talk to people and drink until I feel bored. Seems ideal to me...

It's just weird because I definitely don't want someone who is spacey - like someone who can't committ to something or worse...they do, then back out...I'm a huge fan of follow-through.

I just personally don't feel responsible for the way my actions/words make others feel. People perceive things the way they will and I have no interest in trying to affect the way they will perceive what I say or do - I just let them perceive. I told her - I would tell her 100% if I was having a ****ty time, but it's not her burden that I am - it's mine and my responsibility to correct - not hers...but she doesn't seem to get that.

What the hell are you guys talking about? All guys should be less organized than their chick, and if the guy is more organized, either his girl is a piece of ****, or he himself is GAY.

I'm definitely a more naturally lazy person, but I constantly push myself. I like having discipline in my life, but my brain will always default to laziness. My girl is the opposite, just naturally a workaholic. The reason why the relationship works is because I'm working on improvement in my life constantly and her ass knows I'm going to be successful and put her in a Bentley if she marries me.
