Sunday Funday: The Underlying Rules of Dating a Football Fan

November 12, 2014/in For Her /by Guest Blogger

Are you into football but dating/interested in someone who isn’t? Or vice versa? It’s NFL season and this means potential recipe for disaster.
Being a die-hard female football fan (Yes boys, I am single!) with a lot of non-fan friends, I know exactly what you are going through.  There are a few pet-peeves that really get to me when I am trying to watch the game with my friends. Whether they are guys or girls, if they don’t have a passion for football, I am generally annoyed with them each Sunday.
Non-sports fans! Here are 8 ways you can impress/support your sports fan dates – trust me, they will love you for it.

1. Never ask “Why Do You Care So Much?”

“Why do you like bacon?”
“Uhhhh…cause it tastes good”
That’s pretty much how we feel about football. There is no straight answer.

2. Act Interested

While you don’t want to seem too fake in caring, at least pretend to act interested. That can be as simple as just sitting there, clapping when they claps, or wearing a jersey.

3. Don’t Schedule an Event During a Game

Here is what will happen. Your Bagel will either:
A. watching it on their phone all day
B. constantly checking score updates
C. frequently slipping away to “go to the bathroom” or
D. in a horrible mood because you made them miss the game.

4. Wear His Jersey or His Teams Apparel (NEVER BUY THE PINK JERSEYS)

While this may just be a personal preference but ladies, PLEASE NEVER BUY THE PINK JERSEY! Yes, it’s cute and pink is a fabulous color but it has no place in the football world (minus breast cancer month).

5. Don’t Discuss Other Topics While Watching the Game

Imagine you’re watching your favorite show and your Bagel is talking throughout the whole thing… how are you going to feel?

6. Never Be A “Fake Fan”

There is nothing more obnoxious than someone pretending they know what they are talking about. It’s better to say nothing than to say too much in this situation.

7. Be Supportive of Their Team

This speaks for itself… Never root for another team (unless you really are a true fan) or talk crap about their team. Just be supportive and get excited when you are supposed to get excited.

8. Invite Their Friends Over to Watch the Game

Inviting their friends over for the game and being a great host is for sure going to score you some major brownie points! Have beer, chips, salsa, and pizza/burgers ready to go! This is not the time to worry about their health.

CAUTION: Extremely stereotype-based
