Creating healthy and fun relationships isn't always easy but there are certain things you can do to ease awkward moments and make new relationships feel much more comfortable.
When you begin dating a new guy and you are reading for initial introductions, one often worries about awkward
conversation. Since meeting my husband
and during the dating process I noticed what broke the ice the most with him
and my brother-in-laws was the topic of football and college basketball. In the beginning of our relationship my
husband did not have much interest in following professional football or
college basketball but after two years of marriage and being invited over for
Sunday football at my sisters my husband vigorously follows football. It amazes how football can make strangers new
best friends. I have noticed since my
husband has started watching football he is easily able to talk to any other
man anywhere we find ourselves. I think
the best way to introduce a new guy or girl to in-laws is a football gathering
whether it be Sunday or Monday. If you
are women and dislike football you can start up a conversation an complain
about how much football is discussed in your man’s life. If you are a man then obviously you can bond
with the other men with the touchdowns and other plays in football
congratulations each other when the chosen team scores or give each other crap
when the team makes a bad play.
The best way to help this along
is always having some football food staples in the kitchen for munching. My brother-in-laws obviously love their hot
wings, chips and dip, veggie plate and always make something a little extra
special to add to the excitement. Maybe cupcakes
with icing matching the team colors or perhaps something like stuffed jalapeno
peppers, or mini pepperoni twists could spark up the humdrum
staples. Cocktail shrimp is also a
favorite at our football family functions with my sisters and
brother-in-laws.
