I met someone recently and the dates have been going really well so far as we get to know each other. Something I leaned about her recently is that she is not as interested in art as I am. I'm still trying to clarify if by "art" she only thinks of painting and fine art rather than other art forms (music, film, dance, etc) but ANYWAY. She admitted that she truly doesn't care for it and/or doesn't understand it. She gave an example of walking into a museum and thinking everything kinda looks the same, unless she knows the artist personally.

As an artist myself, I was worried at first. I tend to like those who, don't necessarily have to be artists themselves (but sometimes have been) but at least have an admiration or appreciation for it. But after thinking a lot about it, I think there might be a blessing in disguise with her not being into it...? As far as my own art is concerned, I feel that maybe she wouldn't be as critical about it as a fellow artist would be, if I ever feel the desire to share it with her. If I need a piece to be private for any reason, then maybe she may not think twice about it. It can be my own instead of constantly wanting to create art together like my past relationships, where ideas and inspirations may not clash well together and things get creatively frustrating.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
