You and your partner don’t have to have identical personalities in order for the relationship to succeed, but if you have fundamentally different approaches to socializing (i.e., they want to go out every night while you are more of a homebody) it might be a struggle to make it work. If you speak openly about this and are willing to find compromise, you could create a happy medium. Otherwise you might rarely see each other, which defeats the purpose of being in a relationship.
