I confront this problem (what to do when ordinary interests clash) often,
all by myself.  My suggestion is to go off and do something that is beyond
both your experiences.  Often this can take the form of signing up for
courses.  You may end up generating a common interest.  Suggestions:

	1) Hang-gliding lessons.  A trip!

	2) Scuba-diving lessons.  Ditto!

	3) Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.  Then go to Egypt.  Makes touring
	   much more worthwhile.

	4) Wild animal handling.  You won't be bored.

	5) Travel.  The farther and the more exotic the better.  You will
	   also come to know the other person REALLY well.

I recognize that these take money (except for hieroglyphs).  You said in
your earlier posting that he's got some.  If he wants to share, try these
sorts of things.

I personally recommend all of these things for broadening your horizons,
except for scuba-diving - that's next.
