Primary interest overlap is academic. We're both in the same internship program, and the same sub-segment of that program, as well as at the same internship proper, and in the same required class at the internship, mostly due to a mutual enjoyment of politics and international affairs. It helps that she's Canadian, so my more contentious views on US politics don't get in the way (Canadian-ness got me the first "date" in the first place, because she wanted to go out and see a service for Remembrance Day, but those are much harder to find here. Us both being in Washington made it easier)
overlap hits at odder points as well. One morning when i declared i was going to waste the morning reading fan-fiction because our boss hadn't shown up to give me the one thing i needed to work on yet, she commented on it, though it turns out her interests there lie in Harry Potter and CSI, which is quite far away from my One Piece and SWAT Kats, and that launched into a conversation about how bogus we both thought some of the stuff from Deathly Hallows was
Very socially similar to myself as well, given that she doesn't really drink (and doesn't drink for the same reason as me too: it all tastes the same to both of us: ethanol), never updates her facebook (though i one-up her on that as i don't have one at all), and shares many of my tastes in food.
Plus (though this was quite inadvertant on my part) she's seen some of the worst i have to offer in terms of personality, seen me at my most small-minded, contentious, and boorish, yet that hasn't driven her off. Not that i would expect anyone (let alone a potential gf) to put up with my bad side, but it very certainly helps
