All of them except letting big attack dogs bite him ;)
We both like sports especially football, fishing, boating and gardening.
This is something we've actually both been working on. We both like to read in cafes and go to concerts. He's been trying yoga and opera. I've been following politics and comic books. I think we need to start playing a physical game together - like tennis.
Tennis? How come tennis?

I was thinking something that would keep us physically active that we could do all year - no matter where. You know?

Agreed!
Hiking, mountain biking (not to the extent that I do), backpacking. She doesn't get into the application of technology like I do or gardening or tending the animals, but is right there with me in all of them.
Just a few, but they're ones that matter: travel and self-improvement
I think so too! You are an amazing and beautiful person.

yoga, hiking, travel, cooking, gardening, books, movies, games
Not very many, actually lol. We both like technology and off-beat news, but we can't play video games together (I get a little competitive and upset, haha), and he's not really interested in cooking with me (which is my favorite thing to do).
My boyfriend and I both like video games too, but we can't play together for the exact same reason - except it's HIM who gets too competitive to the point where I can never win. :P Haha.

We both like having downtime! Watching movies, reading books, doing nothing. On another note, I'm a DJ but she doesn't like to dance or party. I like to dance and party. We both like family/friend gatherings. Guess I'll should DJ more of those, but I wouldn't get paid for those!
Hey watch it! Just because you dj does not mean I should like to party. I still support you.

HAHAHA! I love this question. Pretty much all of them except crocheting I'd say! We love to do stuff together and one reason we have such a good marriage is that we do have such similar interests!
We're both into vintage and antiques, so we always check out antique shops and garage sales in hopes of finding a new item for our collection. We're both geeky when it comes to that kind of stuff, which I have to say is very awesome since I've always been into collecting...
Garage sales are the best! An awesome "date" activity. We do that too as much as possible. You never know what you'll find. I'm hoping to find a gold casio calculator watch one of these days. That would be perfect.

we have a lot of hobbies that she won't share with me.
I think the only thing we don't share is my obsession with working out, but he's so supportive and patient! Even when I'm crazy in doing events, etc! He's my number one cheerleader and I could not be any more lucky!
We both like to read and sing (though one is better than the other).
We both like to do active things, but we usually do them apart. The more passive activities are done together.
