Relationship is always a hard thing and you need to be prepaired for this. Relationships are based of understanding and love. And these are the main things, that can keep you two together. Although common interests, in my opinion it's very important to have at least 2 or 3. You don't have to share everything. Because in every relationship you need to find something new to you. Find out about a new movie or a book, a new place to visit or a new game to play.
If you ask me, what my ideal girlfriend is like, I would probably say kind, caring, understanding and clever. Her beauty would be a perfect bonus, of course. As I said, we can have mutual interests, so we can spend time doing something together and both enjoy it.

Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston in 1706. He was
the fifteenth of the seventeen children of a poor candlemaker. He went to school only one year. He began to work when he was twelve. At the age of fourteen he decided to be a writer. He copied the great stories of famous writers and later he became the best known writer in his time.
When he was seventeen, he left Boston and
arrived in Philadelphia with only a few pennies in his pocket. He
got a job as a publisher of a newspaper and retired
from business as a very rich man at forty-two. Then he spent the next forty years for his government. He played an important role in the founding of the USA.
Franklin was also an important scientist and inventor. He drew
electricity from a cloud on a kite string. He wrote one of the first text books on electricity. He invited a simple lightning rod and many other practical tools. He made a study of water and discovered many principles of hydrodynamics. He even invented bifocal glasses when he was seventy-eight and needed them himself.
Franklin did all these things and many more because he believed he could.
