When they have some of the same interests as you, but for different reasons. It provides for excellent conversation when you can talk about something you’re both passionate about, but because you’re passionate for different reasons, you have different perspectives, and it keeps a topic you’re very familiar with very interesting.
Emotional intelligence.
