Hating all the same things is not a good basis for a relationship.

Another principle of friendship
If someone thinks they are doing you a favor by being your friend, they aren’t really your friend.
And if you treat them as a friend, they will betray your trust.
About friendship
If someone doesn’t like you, they aren’t your friend, and you shouldn’t be hanging out with them.
If someone is always telling you why you’re not good enough, they don’t like you.
If someone is always telling you how special it is that they like someone as flawed as you, then they don’t like you.
If someone consistently expresses contempt about you to mutual friends, they don’t like you.
Life is better when you spend your time with nice people who like you.
Another thing about friendship
If you find yourself dreading interaction with someone, you probably don’t like them.
Even if you can think of all kinds of reasons why they are objectively likeable.
Even if you think they’re a good person.
Even if you used to enjoy their company.
Even if your friends like to hang out with that person, and you think that’s a good thing.
You probably don’t like them. And that’s ok. You don’t have to like everyone.
And it’s a lot better if you spend time with people you like, than people you don’t like.
