She played sports, is way into sports, likes completely different tv shows, movies, and music genres, is really into drama, and doesn't seem to enjoy the same things I do at all.

Sometimes these end up being the BEST big/little relationships (or relationships in general). You end up showing and teaching each other things and growing through your friendship, not just staying stagnant with a carbon copy of yourself. Not to mention if you are too much alike and too much up each others' butts and to the left, it can be REALLY annoying for those around you.

This.

What a great opportunity to ask questions, learn new things, and get to know someone who isn't exactly like you. Embrace and enjoy it!

I remember a couple sets of bigs/littles when I was both an active and an advisor that almost made everyone sick at how buddy-buddy and cutesy they were. The love they had for each other bordered on obsession. They were ALWAYS posting about each other on Facebook, they couldn't go to any event without each other, they took a bajillion pictures together, they exchanged gifts at nearly every chapter meeting, etc. It was kind of awkward.

Don't be afraid to have a "normal" relationship with your little(s).
