She wasn't really a sports fan at all until she met me, she will watch the games with me but doesn't get too excited like I do, I have already warned her that if she sits on her hands she will look out of place, here is to hoping she has a great time!
Taking my girlfriend to her first game this saturday!
- Thread starter Dreklie
- Start date
More power to you OP, I don't date women that are not into sports. They tend to not "get it" with how we act the way we do during them, but seems like you have somewhat converted her into an acceptable fashion so good work.
According to many on RR, if she sits on her hands, she will fit right in.
Im taking my wife to her first game at Rupp for the UF game. We live in Florida, but will be in town visiting family. She isn't a sports nut like I am, but when it comes to UK, she definitely 'gets it'. Have fun man!!
Agreed. My wife played high school sports and is a die hard UK fan. Even after 30 years of marriage, we watch the games together (and she stresses more that I do). Given that we lived in Chapel Hill for a few years and now reside in northern Indiana, I feel blessed to have her as my UK soul mate.
Got married last year to a Tennessee fan (albeit, mostly football, but still). She watched the Cats with me last season, and now she's just as into it as I am! (I had to warn her that we don't usually march through the tourney hitting game-winners like we did last year, haha!)
Look into her eyes and if she is excited truly excited and embraces it to her core then...she is a keeper. If not stop at a quick stop gas station on the way home and ask her if she would mind going inside and getting you a pack of cigarettes...once she is clear of the car take off like a bat out of hell and don't look back. Otherwise you will spend a lifetime of misery. Just sayin
Son ... a leopard doesn't change his spots. If she wasn't a sports fan before she met you, she's not going to become a sports fan just because she met you -- even if she marries you. She'll end up doing what my wife did: Right after we moved to a new city, I bought two high-priced (with the contribution) season football tickets at a good football school in a major conference. She took a book to read during the first and only game she attended.
If you're a hard-core sports fan, don't marry a woman who isn't also a sports fan - on her own, independently of you.

Well, I'll be ushering at that exit and it is almost impossible for me to leave that exit, but you will pass right by there, on the way to your section.
Taking your girlfriend to a basketball game?
Won't she be bored to tears?
I would never take a chick to a ball game when my favorite team was playing. No way, no how. What are you going to do if she's bored, just get up and walk out?
And if you stand your ground, tell her how much money the tickets cost, how you had to connive and scheme to get them, and even insinuate that this is something important to you...sheesh, she will hate you with a seething scorn that makes hell look like an Alpine ski trip.
First it'll be "Okay, we'll stay". Then five minutes later it will be "I think you like this game better than you do me," followed by "Why don't I just run out to the lobby and call my sister for a second". Before you know it she is on the lam running for the exit door to meet her ex-boyfriend in the parking lot, banging his brains out while you are inside sweating the game and the outcome.
So after the game you are looking around inside for her and she is out on the street looking like a tramp, cold, bit*hy and about as much fun as an ice-water enema. Even worse, she is done for the night and just wants to go home and put our her flannel pajamas and Hello Kitty fuzzy slippers.
Don't take THOT to a game dude. You will regret it and she will love it. They are all the same.
