How do you guys keep the spark alive when your interests don’t match that much? One person has seen all the romcoms in the world while the other has seen all the anime movies in the world and is a gamer. While the former has never even tried any online gaming. What could be done? We both really like each other but after a certain point, we run out of fun topics.

Don’t get into a relationship like that to begin with. It’s a waste of time. Find someone who has like interests and personalities that mesh well together.

If you both really like each other, you find compromises.
Having said that, I personally like being with people who share a few similar interests. For me, similar musical tastes is really important, among other things. Because if we have no interests in common, it could be only attraction keepings us together. Thats fine for a while, as long as the sex is good…but things will get stagnant. For long term relationships, common interests are really really helpful.
i’ve never been with someone who didn’t share similar interests, but i suppose you should just try to find compromises and maybe try out what your partner likes. my boyfriend is really into fishing, camping and hunting. if he goes fishing, i bring a good book. if he’s going camping overnight, i tag along and hang out with him. i’m not going hunting though. when i’m vegging out with a tv show on, he plays video games. if i’m planting stuff, he comes out and starts working on his truck or my car. so we are happy to do our own things together and we also do the same thing together. he’s made his own pot of succulents and i’ve watched him play his games.
