If you are a guy that is into sports, you might enjoy it if your girlfriend felt the same way about sports as well. This would give you time that you can spend with her doing something that you enjoy doing. There are a few things that you can do that will help get your girlfriend to enjoy watching sports with you more often.
Realize first of all that you can’t force anyone to do anything or like anything. You can only make the conditions a bit more appealing. Do your best but don’t be pushy with her else she will be uncomfortable.
Let your girlfriend be open to asking questions about what is going on without her feeling she is bothering you or interrupting. This will let her ask things as they come up letting her understand the game better. If you make her feel bad for trying to be involved, she won’t watch sports with you.
Be prepared to have some conversation with her that has nothing to do with the game that is on television. Don’t expect her to sit there for three hours only talking about the game without being able to bring up other subjects. If she can’t do this, she won’t like the process.
Do something special with her before or after the game. Compromise doing something she likes so she will then in turn do something you like.
Be fair and watch things with her that she really enjoys as well. There has to be some form of give and take in order for things to go smoothly.
Watch these sports games in places that she is comfortable. You might enjoy your favorite guy’s sports bar, but she might not be comfortable in that environment. Start at home where she is used to the surroundings and where she has the option of doing something else if she gets bored.
If this doesn’t work for you, don’t push the issue. It’s fine to do things apart from your girlfriend as well.
