47 and still waiting..........................
 
So one of my best friends at work has an agreement with his wife called "Man-entine's Day." Essentially what it entails is Valentine's Day being all about her and then in July he get's a Saturday with no kids, lot's of golf, bourbon and cigars. Obviously it doesn't solve the SMU issue immediately, but it's a great alternative. Good luck with it though; I pitched Man-entine's Day to my wife and I got laughed at.
 
I think this is a creepy insight into the Good ... guys with great intimacy ... and the Not so Good.

Thanks
 
keep the volume down, you don't want her hearing "Lubin with the ball", "ball penetration", or "going hard right down the lane" and getting too excited prematurely

We all know SMU is a huge game tomorrow. It also happens to be played at 8:00 p.m. on Valentine's Day. Any ideas on how I can convince my Venezuelan girlfriend, who knows nothing about college basketball, to stay in and watch the game on Valentine's day?

Nope.

You probably shouldn't even try.

And the fact that you thought this place could help you is troubling.

That's the way. If you don't train them early you don't have a chance.;) In case people without a sense of humor don't get it, I'm hoping to bait huskyhaven and uconnell. Two gals with a fine sense of humor imo.

No problem. I say if a guy I'm dating can't watch the game I'll dump him. Dated a guy during the champ run and drank up a storm. Wouldn't you think that would be great? No, he dumped me.
I buy tickets at the last minute for games at the XL which are singles in the season ticket holders section. Great seats. I sat next to a guy and chatted all game about sports etc... He said I'm a guys dream. Oh well....

Tough break. First dude probably a latent Dukie!

If you do anything but DVR this game and watch it later you are screwed. It's not worth hearing about it for the next forever.

This.

Don't listen to any of these other fools.

I don't care what you say to her, your girlfriend hears: "a basketball game is more important than me on my big special day." BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Keep your mouth shut and DVR the game. Then SUNDAY mention to her that you have a game to watch, you DVR'd it saturday because being with her on valentines day was much more important. Then you get "isn't that thoughtful" points.

Well, you sound certifiably crazy to me. And, trust me, I have a PhD in dating crazies. I can spot one a mile away.

Ask Iron Mike about me. Actually too sane. Just learned to go have fun on my own.
 
Deepster said:
a) The more you protest that you're crazy, the more crazy you're going to sound. I'm just warning you.
b) Iron Mike is neither Iron or really named Mike. Not sure you're helping your cause here, honey.

Oh goodness. Just maybe you haven't been around real women. :) Hans Sprungfeld even knows me from church. :). Bye

Now I'm probably a lot older than you so my techniques might not translate to modern day but I remember a big UCONN game on a Valentines Day I think it might have been Illinois for some reason. I got a night in a nice B&B in a small town on the Jersey/Pennsy border that had a fireplace in the room. We went to dinner, came home in time for the game (which like SMU was a late game) lit the fireplace opend a bottle of wine and voila the stars aligned. They won, we won and I won

Says the guy motivated by a 25 year old. Give me a 25 year old and I will DVR the game too. :-)
 
I guess I am lucky. My wife hates valentines day and shares my view that it is a Hallmark Holiday scam for suckers. Valentines and New Years Eve are the two days of the year we are least likely to go out to dinner. She doesn't want me to overpay for flowers for some fake holiday either, although she likes them at random times.

Bring her to the 50 Shades of Gray matinee then let her go Venezuelan crazy on you while you're on the couch watching the game.:oops:

Yeah, I can't beat that advice. Perhaps just to provide a connection between the two events, you can use "Larry Brown" as your safety phrase.

So they'd go to see the girls play?

I am so lucky. My gf who just gave birth to our first about 3 weeks ago reminded me that the game was on at 9 and asked if we could go out to dinner early so i can be home in plenty of time to catch the game. :D

Congratulations. Boy or girl?

Can't possibly give advice without knowing her better, but I met my wife on Valentine's day in 1986 and we fell in love pretty much right then and there. We've been together since, and some of you remember the story I posted a bit back.

One of the reasons we made it 30 years and counting is because we mutually recognize that some things are very important to the other person. We don't judge whether the importance is justified or profound or silly. We simply recognize that, for whatever reason by our creation and life, these few things here ------> XXXXXX <--------- are very important to the other person.

And so we defer, virtually always, on those things.

Example. My wife is a dog lover. So we have dogs. About 5 more than I'd have if it was just me. They wreck crap, pee on crap, puke on crap, crap on crap, wake us up, get old and put us through hell as they die, and otherwise bring a lot of negative crap along with the positive soul massage that they offer when they aren't doing the crappy crap.

But I endure, because that's part of the deal.

My wife recognized a long time ago the UConn BBall was a passion of mine. It is my dogs. And it's going to crap on the carpet tomorrow night when I sit and watch the game tomorrow and don't go out on what is our 30th anniversary, really, and you know what she'll do? She'll watch my dog crap on the carpet, she'll help me clean it up, and she won't say one negative thing to me about it.

If a woman ever tries to get you to temper what you're passionate about so that she can have more for herself, I'd say keep looking, and provide the same respect in return.

If she supports your Husky addiction and loves making crappy looking pots and spending too much money on glycerine to make soap that smell like old lady no-shower cover perfume, my God man, buy that woman all the clay she can mold and all the glycerine she can soap, and you'll be watching UConn play Duke in 2047 on your 25th wedding anniversary with a good woman on your arm and rolling rock in your hand.

Didn't you see Fishy's "hard questions" thread?
Fishy's at the point where the hardest question he's got to answer is what dose of Stool Softener he should go with.

I think you'll need to post some pics of your gf before we can make a proper evaluation of your situation.

Can't believe it took to post #58 to get there.
 
Tomorrow night is a big snowstorm so how about this: "since it's going to be dangerous to drive tonight, I ordered a catered dinner for us from your favorite restaurant". Then later after dinner you flip the TV on and say " holy smoke, it's the UCONN game, had no idea, maybe I'll watch just a few minutes OK?" Make sure you have an amazing gift in hand for after the game.
