Being Cautious or Thrill-Seeking

Paula: Did you get an invitation to Kip and Sheri’s wedding? 

Robert: Yeah, I did. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the two of them getting married. Never in my wildest dreams would I put those two together. It boggles my mind that they’re in the least compatible. 

Paula: What do you mean? 

Robert: Sheri is really adventurous1 and definitely a thrill-seeker. 

Paula: Maybe she’s mellowed2 over the years. 

Robert: I don’t think so, and Kip is the opposite. He’s always toed the line and I don’t think he has an adventurous bone in his body. 

Paula: I’ve never thought of Kip as being uptight3. 

Robert: No, he’s not uptight. He’s just very cautious. You’d never find him looking for an adrenaline rush or even a little novelty. 

Paula: You know what they say: opposites attract. 

Robert: If that’s true, then in their case, polar opposites attract!
