Well I clicked ignore because there wasn't an option that really fit. Sure I wouldn't ignore a passion/obsession, but I wouldn't "move on" because of it (unless I was weirded by it), and I wouldn't necessarily want to "get interested in it" either.

Just like I'm passionate about a few things, example my sorority, but I obviously wouldn't expect a guy to get interested in it.

I'll stick with 'move on' although I admit the poll could been better designed.

The issue may well depend on the level of 'passion' as you note.

I have come across women (I'm a straight guy who has been married over 30 years) who are so into certain things that their obsession is way more than I could deal with. I'd extend that to potential friends of all genders with ease.

I was thinking about 2 of my last blind dates that went no where because I was not an avid camper or scubadiver.

yeah so if the passion takes up a lot of time, it can be a "move on" situation, or get interested, depends on the passion.

Just like my dancing - I dance 2-4 times a week and love it, so anyone I date would have to get used to me not being available every night and that I go out of town at least once a month. Some might be able to adapt to that, some might not.

Dancing is a fun thing to do so I would think you could introduce a person to it.
