How to Get Her into Stuff You Like Guys, you’re in a new relationship, but you and your girlfriend don’t seem to be into the same things. You’d like to hang out with your buddies on the weekend and watch the game, while she would much rather turn on her favorite show or take you out shopping all day. You have your own style and like to wear men’s designer necklaces, but she would prefer that you spend more money on the things that she likes, instead. You really like this girl, and you want to do everything you can to make her happy. How do you find the middle ground? Here are a few tips for finding common interests and getting her into the stuff that you like. Invite Her to Participate Maybe she doesn’t like that you spend all of your free time after work over at your friend’s house, or that you play poker every week, because it feels like you are putting other things before the development of your relationship. Instead of getting into arguments about how you spend your time, why not invite her to see why you like it so much? She will get a better understanding of what you like to do and, as a result, your bond with one another will get stronger. For example, if you absolutely love playing classic video games for three hours every night, why not let her play, too? Find a two-player game that both of you can enjoy together, and you may find that she is more willing to give you time alone to hunt aliens at your leisure. Pay Attention to What She Likes She might not be taking an interest in what you are passionate about because you are not making an effort to learn more about her hobbies. While you may find them boring or ridiculous, understand that she feels the same way about what you like. Make the effort to pay more attention to what she likes to do, and show that you are committed and support her interests. This is a simple gesture that also says a lot about your commitment to the relationship as a whole, and she will know that you are invested. Spending time on her will lead to time that she will spend on you. Who knows? You may also discover a new passion in her hobbies that you hadn’t taken a chance on before.

How to Get Her into Stuff You Like

Guys, you’re in a new relationship, but you and your girlfriend don’t seem to be into the

same things. You’d like to hang out with your buddies on the weekend and watch the

game, while she would much rather turn on her favorite show or take you out shopping

all day. You have your own style and like to wear men’s designer necklaces, but she

would prefer that you spend more money on the things that she likes, instead. You really

like this girl, and you want to do everything you can to make her happy. How do you find

the middle ground? Here are a few tips for finding common interests and getting her into

the stuff that you like.

Invite Her to Participate

Maybe she doesn’t like that you spend all of your free time after work over at your

friend’s house, or that you play poker every week, because it feels like you are putting

other things before the development of your relationship. Instead of getting into

arguments about how you spend your time, why not invite her to see why you like it so

much? She will get a better understanding of what you like to do and, as a result, your

bond with one another will get stronger.

For example, if you absolutely love playing classic video games for three hours every

night, why not let her play, too? Find a two-player game that both of you can enjoy

together, and you may find that she is more willing to give you time alone to hunt aliens

at your leisure.

Pay Attention to What She Likes

She might not be taking an interest in what you are passionate about because you are not

making an effort to learn more about her hobbies. While you may find them boring or

ridiculous, understand that she feels the same way about what you like. Make the effort to

pay more attention to what she likes to do, and show that you are committed and support

her interests. This is a simple gesture that also says a lot about your commitment to the

relationship as a whole, and she will know that you are invested.

Spending time on her will lead to time that she will spend on you. Who knows? You may

also discover a new passion in her hobbies that you hadn’t taken a chance on before.

Share a New Common Interest

A relationship cannot be sustained on mutually “tolerating” each other’s interests, but

rather creating and sharing interests together. Suggest a new activity that you could do

together such as tango lessons, mountain climbing, Sommelier classes and so on. Adding

new activities to the relationship exposes both parties to interests you might not have

known you shared.

Create an Incentive

Does your girlfriend hate football, but love going to get massages? Make her a deal. If

she agrees to go with you to see your favorite team while they’re in town, she’ll get to

have a spa weekend whenever she wants. Or, if you agree to go to the concert she’s been

dying to see, then she’ll go catch your favorite band, too. Let her pick out her choice of

men’s designer necklaces for you to wear from William Henry. The opportunities are

there for you both to get to do what you love together.

By following these tips and keeping an open mind about what you and your girlfriend

love to do, you will find that your relationship is getting stronger. You also won’t feel

like she is nagging all of the time or keeping you from what you enjoy. With a little time

and effort, you two will be able to make excellent strides forward in your relationship.
