Someone once said, “if opposites didn't attract somewhat, everyone on the planet would be asexual または gay.” In my opinion certain テレビ couples appeal to this notion and others do not. For the most part, I find that the perfect balance between matters of the mind…the build up…the “will they または won’t they” tension is what intrigues me and draws me towards a particular couple. And so, I prefer couples that complement one another, not those who are identical.
As human beings each one of us has different qualities, and it is precisely these differences that draw us to our potential mates, and truly make us connect with one another. The qualities that we don’t possess are often the qualities that we admire in others. Furthermore, couples that work best together, genuinely admire each other, which is essentially the basis behind my “opposites attract” philosophy.
All my お気に入り fictional couples adhere to this rule in their own unique way. Its that balancing act and symbiotic relationship that these amazing pairs portray that supports my notion of “true chemistry” The alternate couples on the other hand provide the opposing, and in my opinion ill fated, borderline incestual, interactions.
My お気に入り couples are, of course, Brucas…but also Ben & Felicity of Felicity, Ryan & Marissa of The OC, and Booth and Brennan of Bones. I have several other favorites, but I chose these couples because they have had the greatest 全体, 全体的です impact on my life and heart. And while these couples, または characters have in reality never met, I believe aspects of all these relationships together give a solid argument for “opposites attract” relationships.
Ben & Felicity (The Social Genre Opposites)
While many of あなた may be to young to have experienced Felicity on air, または ever, I’ll give あなた my word that BF shared an incredible 愛 story. Ben was the typical handsome, free spirited, jock type…and Felicity was for lack of better definition awkward, reserved, and analytical. However, one chance encounter at HS graduation, proved to be enough to throw the universe off kilter, and bring this couple to life. The series begins as Felicity enamored によって Ben, follows him to college in NY. While I could go on for decades regarding their path to each other and their eventual happy ending, the important things to consider here are: 1) They provide the stereotypical opposite social genre relationship; 2) Their differences presented challenges for both to overcome; 3) In overcoming the challenges each evolved into better versions of themselves; 4) In the end their differences made them stronger and their 愛 endured.
お気に入り Moments:
1) Ben finally opening up to Felicity.
BEN: For some stupid reason, I have a hard time letting people... whatever... Especially people who make me nervous. Felicity: I don't make あなた nervous. (Ben laughs) BEN: Yeah, あなた do. Anyway, that's, just a fact. A part of who I am. So, (takes out a box) here. Felicity looks at him, then opens it. It's a silver necklace.
* The scene really captures that moment when あなた are falling for someone, and the feeling is mutual, but both sides are at a dead stand until one person really opens up. My お気に入り aspect here is that Felicity in a million years wouldn’t have guessed that this guy was just as nervous around her as she with him. That nervous tension is just spectacular! A Brucas（ブルック＆ルーカス） equivalent for me is when Lucas takes Brooke to the Rivercourt. あなた just don’t experience that with couples that are so alike they basically read each other’s mind, its just NO fun!
2) Ben’s speech to Felicity’s parents.
BEN: Look, for some reason, Felicity cares about me. And on a good day, I feel like I might become everything she sees in me. It is because of that; it is because of about a million other reasons that she means pretty much the world to me.
*Brucas equivalent either Brooke’s speech to Karen in the hospital, または Lucas’s to Brooke in the rain. Either way it really proves who opposites can influence their partners for the greater good. With Brucas（ブルック＆ルーカス） this is also a major development in their story.

Ryan & Marissa (The From Different Worlds Opposites)
This couple is likely もっと見る familiar, so I won’t delve on the history. What I will say is that this couple definitely moved me. Hell they still do. I can’t watch a Ryissa video with out tearing up a bit. Anyways, Ryissa demonstrated how two people from two very different backgrounds, one from the wealthy Newport ビーチ area, and the other from the rough and tough チノクロス, チノ, 茅野市 area could be so right for each other all along. From the moment these two locked eyes they were in love, and I’ll even venture to say that no other girl または guy would compare. Even after Marissa’s death Ryan proves that Marissa was the single greatest part of Newport, in the ending scene where he envisions Marissa standing at the end of the drive. And from Marissa’s POV in her letter to Ryan before left for Greece, she explained that she always loved him and always would. This reminds me of Brooke’s POV in S5 that Lucas was the one boy she loved and would have ロスト it all for. But I’d say もっと見る than any couple, they showed us 愛 at first sight. もっと見る importantly, how that first moment was built upon. They followed the pattern that opposites often do first によって intrigue, tension, followed によって a turning point, and completing each other. In this case, Ryan often saved Marissa from herself. But originally it was Marissa who saved Ryan from himself, and his past. Their path was never simple, but at no point did あなた 質問 their feelings for each other. That was evident. Overall, while this couple seemed to have もっと見る genuine obstacles than the others, and an ultimate death they never ceased to impress me with their undying 愛 for each other. Not unlike Brucas（ブルック＆ルーカス） these 恋愛中 depended on each other even while separated romantically. With both あなた couldn’t help but fall in 愛 with their relationship. It gave あなた that hope that no matter what world you’re from, true 愛 finds you.
お気に入り Moments:
1) New Years Eve Countdown Kiss. Earlier によって the pier. MARISSA: I 愛 you… RYAN: ugh…thank you? Just as they meet for the New Year. RYAN: (breathless from racing up several stairs) I 愛 you. MARISSA: (surprised) Thank you.
* I’d take that over Lucas’s “Oh” response anyday!lol It was just so beautiful that as always Ryan was holding in his emotions a bit too long, so long that he had to run to make it in time! It reminds me of Brucas（ブルック＆ルーカス） first I 愛 you, after Brooke gives him the letters. It’s the kind of emotion that was there building for a while and when those words came out it was as if all four were stunned によって the clarity of the moment.

Booth & Brennan of BONES（ボーンズ）-骨は語る- (The Book Smarts/Street Smarts Opposites)
I can’t imagine あなた could find two opposites better than these two in the beginning! What’s evident, as the series has gone on, now in the middle of its 4th season, is that their influence on each other is absolute. While currently this couple refers to themselves as strictly business, “they are only partners” it doesn’t take a rocket scientist, even though there are plenty with high enough IQs around to qualify, to see the strong emotional bond, and the increasing sexual tension between them. Throughout the show, FBI agent Seeley Booth has been able to heroically save Brennan from near death on several occasions. What makes this couple so great is their continual banter, teasing, and bickering, that their opposite personalities provide ammunition for. Because they rarely see completely eye to eye on matters of the mind, when they do the moment is so compelling and true. Brennan admits to having sub par social skills, but with Booths influence she has become もっと見る and “humanistic”. These two 愛 each other もっと見る than my words can describe. The “looks” between the two of them rival Brucas, and the above-mentioned couples, with out ever having romantic ties. It’s just something that あなた have to experience. What I can say is that this couple is meant to be. The REAL meant to be. When it happens, it will be as if no one else in the entire universe matters.
お気に入り Moments
1) In therapy discussing Brennans 最近 relationship(s)
SWEETS: Does it seem that your partnership provides a surrogate relationship, making it もっと見る difficult to form other bonds? BRENNAN: A surrogate relationship wouldn't necessarily be such a bad thing because then I could avoid the sting of rejection which, however fleeting ... is still uncomfortable. BOOTH: Right. Okay, look, I'm sorry, あなた know what, if Mark and Jason don't know how lucky they are, they don't deserve あなた in the first place. BRENNAN: No, relationships are temporary. BOOTH: No, that's not true, Bones, you're wrong. Okay, there is someone for everyone, someone you're meant to spend the rest of your life with. Alright, あなた just have to be open enough to see it ... that's all.
2) Booth explaining “Making Love”
BOOTH: Here we are. All of us, basically alone, separate creatures just circling each other. All searching for that slightest hint of a real connection. Some look in the wrong places, some; they just give up hope because in their mind they're thinking, “Oh, there’s nobody out there for me.” But all of us, we keep trying over and over again. Why? Because every once in a while, every once in a while two people meet and there’s that spark. And yes Bones, he’s handsome and she’s beautiful and maybe that’s all they see at first, but making love? Making love, that’s when two people become one. BRENNAN: (awestruck) It is scientifically impossible for two objects to occupy the same space. BOOTH: Yeah, but what’s important is we try. And when we do it right, we get close. BRENNAN: To what? Breaking the laws of physics? BOOTH: Yeah, Bones, a miracle. Those people, role playing and their fetishes and their little sex games, it’s crappy sex. あなた know, at least compared to the real thing. BRENNAN: (after looking at Booth thoughtfully for a while) You’re right. BOOTH: Yeah, but - Wait a second, I just won that argument? BRENNAN: Yup. (They both smile)
* What reminds me so much of Brucas（ブルック＆ルーカス） is their dedication and sacrifice for each other. Also, the sexual tension and the fear of taking things to the 次 level.

Lucas & Brooke (The Superficial Opposites)
What I find most certain about Brucas（ブルック＆ルーカス） is that whatever they may differ in what they like または dislike in terms of music, entertainment, lifestyle etc. these two make up for によって sharing the same heart. I’ll close によって saying that I think Brucas（ブルック＆ルーカス） shares a little of all my お気に入り couples, as I have pointed out. It’s a shame to me that Leyton has been seen as the epic love, the inseparable bond, because IMO, its Brucas（ブルック＆ルーカス） who always seem to run back into each other. Case and point. NYC!!! It’s a rare thing for a couple to share something as significant as their heart, and I’d say deep down they share the same soul. While together they may occasionally fight, really fight, but that’s natural! And the passion that lies in these moments is もっと見る convincing than anything Leyton’s ever shown me. In the Wedding Date, the male lead says “The hardest thing is loving someone and then having the courage to let them 愛 あなた back…I'd rather fight with あなた than make 愛 with anyone else.” I think this perfectly describes Brucas. They are meant to be…they are who they want to have 次 to them when their dreams come true…they admire each other…and they 愛 each other. We just have to sit back and wait for them BOTH to have the courage to let each other 愛 them back! または rather Mark to allow that to happen! Stupid silly man with his LP pride! Surrender I tell you!
