Sports and Dating, According to Him.

My name is Andrew Baran, twitter name abaran19, and I will be writing this post as a guest today. I am currently in a two year relationship, and I am writing to you today about the role of sports in a relationship.

Look, a lot of dudes like sports. Period. No if ands or buts about it. And for the most part, your girlfriend may not be most willing to spend 8 hours tailgating in the frigid cold prior to a Buffalo Bills game. But that doesn't mean that one should shun their girlfriend away from their world of sports. Here are a few tips as to how you can get your girlfriend to enter this world.

1. Games on TV can be boring as all hell, but there is nothing like being at a game. Sports like hockey, basketball and football are fast-paced and always keep your eyes on the game. There are hits, fights, dunks, touchdowns and screaming fans. Bring your girlfriend to a game, show her what makes you that crazy fan that you are. Teach her the chants, players names and rules if she isn't familiar with them.

2. Try to purchase her a shirt or hat just to remind her of who she is following. This will give her a sense of  belonging and might even get her interested in keeping up with the team throughout the duration of the season, not just when you attend or watch games.

3. Some people don't understand what it takes to become a professional in a particular sport. Why not introduce the game to your girlfriend. Throw that pigskin a few yards, lace up some skates and knock the puck around. If you're feeling good, shoot some hoops. Not only is this a good way to show her how hard it is to do things that professionals make look so easy; it will intrigue her and keep her curious as to what other highlights the pros can produce.

So, there is no need to separate sports from your relationship. Whether it causes fights, arguments or misunderstandings, when you both are fascinated by the play at hand, it's all about love of the game.

  1. You will be lucky if your girlfriend is into that sport also, you will have lesser problems. But if she is not really into it, you have to accept the fact. Men and Women are wired differently. Likewise, she cannot force you to enjoy the Twilight Saga if you think it is really gay. But if you can work out these differences, your relationship will become more interesting.
