Where's the Excitement? NBA Playoffs Edition
My boyfriend loves sports. I'm interested in sports and it's something we can do together, but I don't get nearly as excited as he does over things. With the NBA playoffs happening recently, it's been a slight strain on our relationship. We're also long distance.On nights that our favorite teams play, he watches the game at his house and I'll watch it at mine. Usually, we chat during the game either online or through text messages, but I can't help feeling that he gets more excited over watching sports than he is when he gets to spend time with me - yes, we're long distance, so spending time does encompass texting and instant messaging.
Is this something that I should be worried about? Guys, what do you think?

By getting more excited over sports do you mean he ignores you to watch the game? If you guys are texting during the game and he's talking about it, he probably thinks you are just as excited. I think it's great that you can share a love of sports. I wouldn't say anything unless he seriously ignores you for sports.
If you feel like he's actually not excited to spend time / communicate with you in general, I would say you should talk to him directly about it.
My boyfriend and I are also long distance right now because he's on deployment with the Navy and he always makes me feel like he's very interested in communicating with me.
Forget the NBA. For excitement, watch the NHL playoffs.
Relax, if he wasn't texting, then be concerned...
Want to get excitement out of the NBA playoffs? Watch Chicago and check out Kyle Korver. Then swoon away. He's gorgeous. And has a nice 3pointer also<3
I think if you feel this way perhaps talking to him about this will open this up and get to the bottom of this? Also, if he texts you during the game...it doesn't seem like he is ignoring you seriously or even enjoying the game as much if he texts you constantly throughout. I don't know. Again, if you don't know. It's best to talk to each other.
I think texting on the phone or online IM would disrupt the game. maybe put the phone on loudspeakers and talk to each other that way by yelling with enthusiasm when there is an exciting moment to cheer for
I personally don't enjoy any sports, so I can't fake the funk and act excited when I'm not-_-
I think it's fine. I'm not a sports person. But right now it's the Stanley Cup playoffs and my boyfriend gets so hyped over it. I'm just... meh. I just let him have his time watching the game and enjoy it himself. We can do something else before the game or after.
I love sports. More than my boyfriend does. If there's a game that I MUST watch, I always try to include him if he's wanting to spend time with me. At least he's trying to involve you a little bit by texting/IMing. I know it's frustrating, but it's actually a GOOD thing when you're guy is interested in things other than you. You should not be worried, though; he obviously thinks you're more important than sports. BUT, you shouldn't make him choose between the two - that would be controlling.
