I would love to date/marry someone who is also a James Bond fan too!!! I wonder what would life be like... 

[Dustin]

As somebody having experience with marrying my advice would be not to make Bond-fandom a condition for a relationship.

[WhatMeWorry?]

Only if their favorite Bond actor was Brozza

My ex-wife didn't care much for anything I obsessed over.

 

My current lady (11 years, now) enjoys watching the films with me (especially TLD, as she's always liked Timothy Dalton) and the lifestyle I have adopted, which includes champagne on our monthly anniversary (lunaversary?) - sometimes with caviar.

 

She's especially mad about Doctor Who. I think she's a bigger fan than I ever was!

If I did care enough to want someone else in my life (which I don't) I wouldn't mind if they were a Bond fan as long as they weren't too overbearing with their knowledge.

[AMC Hornet]

That's me!

(Overbearing with my knowledge, that is.)

On our first date, I laid my cards on the table with my now-wife and said that Bond and Dr Who were the 2 great obsessions of my life.. She merely shrugged and said "All men are anoraks...Football, cars...there's always something...Doesn't faze me..."

We've been together 7 years and married for just over 2.
To be fair, over the last 12 months, what with my 2 great obsessions both celebrating 50th anniversaries, those words have come back to haunt her a little, but she's generally happy to indulge me.

My wife doesn´t like James Bond... because she married with him

 

(I "forced" her to see OHMSS, before I asked her to marry me)

My live-in girlfriend is not a 007 fan.... nor does she suspect that I am one.  In keeping with the spirit of our beloved hero I've kept this fact a secret from her.  All she knows is that I'm occasionally called away from home to go to the movies.  Over the years, I believe she has developed a vague notion that these films I go to are in the "action/adventure" category, but she's discrete enough to never pry into this aspect of my life. 

 

In response to this post's question - No, I don't think I've ever marry a 007 fan.  It's bad enough I can never win an argument with my better-half on any (and every!) other topic that comes up for debate.  If she became a 007 fan it would just mean that the one topic that I'm undisputedly an "expert" on inside our home would suddenly be fair-game for debates.  In the past, I've had to (for the sake of keeping the peace at home) cede to her erroneous misconceptions like "There's no difference between liquid ounces and fluid ounces" or "The U.S. Constitution guarantees citizens the right to vote in presidential elections" and so forth.  But, If I had to relent and agree to some 007-rookie fan mistake like the Peter Sellers' Casino Royale was "in fact the very first 007 movie ever made" just to keep the peace (!), it would be just too much for me to bear.

My boyfriend is a James Bond fan but not like me. I mean he will sit down and watch the James Bond movies with me, but he isn't as big of a fan as I am.

It's definitely nice having someone who likes to indulge on the same things you do.

[Colossus]

Sure i'd love people to date me!

[AgenttiNollaNollaSeitsemän]

None of my girlfriends have been Bond fans. Opposites attract and all the jazz.

[Professor Pi]

Every one of my ex-girlfriends, including my ex-wife, has liked James Bond.  Hmmm...was that the problem?
