Intro to being a Jock GF May 6, 2008

Attention to all girls who have or want a guy that is into sports but you just can’t seem to find a liking for it, wow that was a mouthful. I have a topic that I think is important to any girl interested in any guy who plays a sport, the topic of cheering.

You may be new to the sports world, maybe you just got a new boyfriend who plays baseball and you have despised baseball your entire life, I’ve been there and I know what you are feeling. How the heck are you supposed to go and support your guy if number one, you hate the sport, and number two, you don’t even know what is going on.

I have an idea that helped me get through my hard times of being a Jock GF and actually led me to loving a sport that I did not even imagine myself ever liking.

First things first, most guys like to be supported when they are doing something they enjoy, especially if it is a girl they like or are dating, they appreciate any kind of attention from people who mean something to them, like their mom, sometimes even their dad, and usually their significant other.

So, even if you don’t like the sport that your guy plays, go. Go for them, they want you there and when you see them smile at you with the satisfaction of knowing that you came just for them that is when you realize that it is worth it.

Next, if your guy gives you his team hat, or his team jacket, whatever it may be, wear it. Not only will be he excited to see you but when he sees you in his jacket that is slightly too big, he is going to excited that you were so thoughtful.

One more thing, cheer him on. Cheer his teammates on too, ask people around you who each guy is and what it is their position does for the team or things like why he is wearing that bracelet around his wrist. If you sound interested, people tend to respond to your friendly persona.

Once you’ve introduced yourself to the regular cheering community, you become one of them. You make new friends, you learn about the sport, and you get your guy’s attention even when he’s focusing on the big game.

In conclusion, cheering your guy on isn’t that bad, and you may actually find yourself starting to appreciate something you didn’t even know was possible.
