Trying to get to know a guy who is heavily into sports and he will schedule dates around a sporting event and never talk to you why a game is on TV?
I find it funny how a women may sometimes see it as a challenge when a guy is obsessed with sports and tries to see if she can pull him away from it.
Me and sports guy would have nothing in common. If he's that heavily obsessed the odds of us coming across each other are slim to nothing as well. If a guy participates in a sport in his leisure time ALONG with a wide variety of other interests then I'm there but my days of sitting quietly next to a partner while "the game" (what a farce! It's never ONE game! Or THE game! It's an endless timetable of games that must be watched! ) are well and truly over! If that's his thing, I'm not the gal for him.

you can call it a challenge, I'd call it selfish... too many people are in the "gimme gimme" mode, thinking everything has to revolve around them, & like anything that doesn't is some kind of 'threat' to them.
I hadn't missed a game of (hockey team) in 3 years and I chose to miss the playoff game to hang out with her. Shame, all I did was play acoustic guitar for her over there haha.
My husband was a sports fanatic when I met him. It didn't bother me because I hate the clingy type and I have my own interests too. Well, over the years his sports viewing has dwindled little by little. He said he was a fanatic before because he didn't have a life. Now that he has me and the kids, he has better things to do. He still watches sports, especially football on Sundays, but nothing like how much he used to watch.
Now my dad was a lifelong sports fanatic. We were trained from a young age to only speak to him during commercials (can you imagine!). My mom hated and resented sports throughout their 45 yr marriage. She never stopped complaining about it. He was always watching TV, but it was the sports watching that she hated.
That's pretty psycho. Says a lot about a person, none of it good.
Well, the rest of the sentence was that he had planned to propose to his girlfriend at a Super Bowl party, so it wasn't just about the game. I don't know what that really meant or why he couldn't postpone the proposal until he got back--it's not like he got the Goodyear blimp to display WILL YOU MARRY ME in lights. They did get married and are still married, and I think she's very nice, so I'm not stomping on him too much. I just thought it was weird. He did tell us later that he regretted not coming.
