re: Football and Your SO

quote:

So, I've been seeing this girl lately and she brought up football season and how excited she was to watch the games with me. She's a good southern girl.

My response?

"I won't talk to you. Seriously, no offense, but I don't talk to people when I'm watching a game."

She laughed nervously.

"No, I'm serious. I don't want your feelings to get hurt when I ignore you, but you're welcome to come over and watch the game."

She just nodded.

I don't think she understood.

BUT I TOLD HER WHAT TO EXPECT.

How are you and your SO during the season?

My wife and kids are more important to me than a football game, PERIOD.

In fact, my nieces and nephews are more important to me than a football game. I had tickets to last year's LSU/Arkansas game, first level 50 yard line. My niece had a play she had a starring role in and she was devastated that I wouldn't be there to watch her acting debut. I sold the tickets to the football game and set in the front row of my 11 year old nieces play. Not even a second thought as to whether it was the right choice.

If this girls isn't even important enough for you to talk to during a college football game, do the right thing and cut her loose. She deserves better, and truth be told eventually you will find a woman who you think "you know what it's just a football game" compared to her.

Or possibly you are just gay and enjoy football more than women and just need to go ahead and come out of the closet.
