Search Results: a guy thing movie

So I've been talking to this guy for 2 months we met twice a month apart, i told him at the beginning that maybe we can just be friends and see how things go.. since i was in a situation that is kind of blocking my emotions and meeting people.. he totally understands and was very positive about it and didn't seem like he was going anywhere.

The first time we met we paid for our own drinks , the second time we met i paid for the movie tickets since last time i was gonna pay since i had gift cards to the place we went too but there was miscommunication.. then he said he will pay for the snacks and then he offered to share his popcorn. (Prior to the movies i asked him randomly if he had romantic feelings for me and he said sometimes he does and he likes how i can hold a conversation etc)

He asks me questions, invited me out the first time when i told him i needed some more time. We do talk every day but not very frequently.. in the beginning it was but recently its been a bit less. He looked nice whenever we saw each other , showed of his new shoes, asked if he should keep his beard or not.

To elaborate - like shared interests would be you already have the same interests. So you meet them and they like the same activities like sports or art or interests in movies and music.
or
Someone who has interests you’ve never explored, but you’re both wanting to do them together. They pick up on your interests and you pick up on theirs.

like if I meet a guy and I am not already interested in things he loves (like sports or knowledge of movies or books etc) would that make someone lose interest or do these things not matter?
