The key is to be with a fellow fan. My wife didn't know much about football when we started dating, but now she is a huge cowboys fan, loves to watch the games, plays in a fantasy football league with me (and drafts cowboys based on whatever I say about them in general conversation), and supports my obsession with the draft. Shoot, she'd be the first to suggest getting some wings from the local sports bar and watching the first round. Get yourself a good girl, and you won't have to worry about picking one or the other.
