So, March Madness is upon us again. Your man’s glued to the TV, excitement simmering like a pot about to boil over. You, on the other hand, might be feeling a little lost in the world of buzzer-beaters and free throws. Fear not, ladies! Here’s how to turn those next few weeks into a win-win situation.
Embrace the Atmosphere: March Madness isn’t just about the game; it’s the energy! Decorate with team colors (bonus points for learning his favorite team’s mascot!), whip up some themed snacks (think mini basketball cookies!), and crank up the volume for those buzzer-beaters. Let the excitement be contagious!
Become His Personal Bracket Consultant (Even if You’re Clueless): This might sound daunting, but it’s all about fun. Pick some teams based on cool mascots, catchy names, or even their uniforms (who doesn’t love a good shade of teal?). Ask him to explain the reasoning behind his picks, turning it into a playful learning experience. Who knows, you might surprise yourself with a newfound knowledge of slam dunks!
Make it a Multitasking Masterpiece: Let’s be honest, sometimes basketball isn’t our cup of tea. No worries! Set up a craft station next to the TV, catch up on a good book, or even fold laundry while cheering alongside him for those close calls. You’ll still be spending quality time together, with the added bonus of getting things done!
Turn it into a Date Night: March Madness doesn’t have to be all basketball, all the time. Plan a pre-game dinner with his favorite takeout, or surprise him with a post-game massage (especially after a heart-stopping nail-biter!). It’s all about creating shared experiences that show him you care, even if you can’t tell a three-pointer from a free throw.
The Most Important Play – Communication: Communication is key in any relationship. Talk to your man! Let him know you’re interested in spending time with him, basketball or not. Maybe you can compromise by watching one game together and then picking an activity you both enjoy. Remember, it’s about quality time and shared experiences, not memorizing the intricacies of jump balls.
BONUS TIP: Feeling adventurous? Learn a basic basketball term or two with him. Impress him with your newfound knowledge of “traveling” or a “free throw.” You’ll earn major brownie points and maybe even a playful high five!
March Madness can be a fun way to bond with your partner, even if basketball isn’t your forte. By being supportive, creative, and open to learning a little bit (or a lot!) you can turn those next few weeks into a slam dunk for your relationship. You got this, sis!
