How to Date a Man Who Is a Sports Nut

Make a special night to watch the big game together at home or with friends.

If you're interested in a man who is a sports nut you have a few things to consider when pursuing this guy, especially if you aren't particularly into sports. Dating a sports nut has challenges, but in the end you might find yourself a great guy and maybe even a new appreciation for sports.

Instructions

1. Make an effort to learn a little bit about the sports he loves. This doesn't mean you have to become a fanatic, but read up on the rules of his favorite sport and learn about his favorite team to show you're interested in things he likes and want to bond with him through them.

2. Get a game schedule for his favorite teams. Your relationship shouldn't revolve around every game but a schedule will help you keep track of big games you know he won't want to miss, and you can plan dates around them accordingly. Plan a special night where you make his favorite foods and watch the game with him or let him have his buddies over. You can usually find schedules on team websites.

3. Buy a jersey or shirt that supports his favorite team. This is another way to show him you care, and if you two go to a game together or watch the big game together you can wear it to show your support and to be festive. Seeing you in a jersey or team shirt from his beloved team can also be a major turn on for him.

4. Buy tickets for an upcoming sporting event you know he'll enjoy. This can be a fun surprise and also an opportunity for the two of you to spend time together. To ensure he is free, make plans ahead of time to do something else such as dinner, and then surprise him with a date to watch his favorite team.

5. Accept his love of sports. There may be times it frustrates you, such as when the playoffs coincide with date night, but if you really want to date this sports nut you'll have to accept that this is something that at times might take priority over your relationship. Just don't let it become the norm for sports to be priority one.

Tips & Warnings

• While it's important to learn about the things your man loves, make sure you aren't doing all of the compromising. Tell him about things you love and make an agreement to learn more about each of your favorite things together. If you find you are putting in all the effort with little payback, sit him down and express your feelings. If things still don't change consider it time to move on a find someone who will put just as much into the things you love as you would the things they love.
