Men.

This is a real life conversation between my significant other this weekend. I'm sure others will be able to relate!

Backstory: Kyle loves sports. I mean, loves them. Before we started dating he warned me of this and I was all "oh yeah I can totally handle that! That's sooooo not a problem! And honestly, this could be fun! We'll spend hours bonding over this kind of stuff. Got it." Clearly I was on crack.

No. I did not have it.

He warned me about college football. Got it. NFL, okay. Sure. But they play multiple times a week. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and sometime Thursdays. Okay. Then we have basketball. And then came Kyle's random love for the Royals. There goes any sort of quality time together.

This weekend we spent all of Sunday watching Netflix together (shout out to Criminal Minds and Prison Break!)

Kyle: Thanks for watching all of these shows with me today!

Me: No, thank you for not watching sports all day and actually spending some time with me! It's been awesome.

Kyle: Yeah, well I didn't have any teams playing today that I really cared about so it wasn't a big deal. Plus we have the Royals game tomorrow and Tuesday we're going to watch. 


He sure knows how to make a girl feel special.  ;)

"relaxin' all cool, shootin' some bball outside of school"

...or in Kyles case - 'relaxin' all cool, shootin' some bball inside of the church." Doesn't have quite the ring to it.

Here's a little known fact: Kyle enjoys sports.

WHAAAT!?

I'm sure you're all blown away by this.

Here's a well known fact: I could go without.

WHAT!? Just kidding. We all knew that. I'm like a fish out of water when Kyle is schooling me on the lifestyle (of the rich and famous) that is sports. Because you literally eat, breathe, and sleep sports when you're a true fan. Okay, maybe not literally. But you catch my drift (see what I did there?)

Not only do I watch sports on tv, but I also watch highlights on youtube (I really enjoy this!), go to professional games, go to Kyle's games, and watch Ky play NBA2K14. Repeat. Then repeat again.

what.

He warned me. He really did. I knew how into this stuff he was when we started dating. I was like "oh yeah, totally cool. I love my dog. I get it. We each have things we love."

No.

I didn't get it.

I get it now.

I'm slowly coming around to the idea of this. I REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoy watching him play. He is immensely talented and athletic. So clearly, he's great eye candy. ;)

Here are the dreaded phone pics from his most recent basketball practice I attended - yep. Practice. I was there AANNND I enjoyed it. Progress.

Blurry, but still a stud.
