We (me, her and her bro) play civ a lot, but she (and her bro for that matter) just don't seem into starcraft. You can try do what you can to get her into it (I would actually recommend campaign, since it has a story line + is much less intense than multiplayer), but you may have to accept that Starcraft 2 just isn't for everyone. | ||

But she realizes it's important to me, and so she's more willing to watch a really cool clip. When I call to her "JAEDONG JUST WON HIS GAME." I consistently get responded to with "WOOOOO!". My point is that the trick to getting someone interested in something that they simply have no interest in, is by making it clear that it's very important to you and a part of your life. Maybe they don't get it, and really don't like it. But they should at least be supportive. She won't play. But every now and then she'll watch a Day9 daily with me (she thinks Sean is funny; so do I). On a rare occasion I can get her to watch an important match. She doesn't understand what she's watching, and I end up spending most of the time explaining stuff, but she's at least willing to put up with it because it's obviously important to me, and we like spending time together. I also go with her to craft fairs hahah. Worked for me .Something like this. And it's a give and take too... when I realized that my significant other is more important to me than SC2, it meant giving up the game somewhat. So yes, hopefully she recognizes how important it is to you, but you should also recognize that she has interests too that you should care about, and sometimes that's more important than Starcraft. | ||

but i can say what made her actually buy the game was when i was constantly watching day9 back in the days, like from #100 - #200 i didnt miss a single live show, and when she slept at my place, she had to watch it with me, and i think that got her really interested. so yeah, show 'em day 9, and be passionate about that something that you love(her, and sc2). because nothing's cooler than that. | ||

If she's interested in sc2 she will tell you, she'll hardly oversee that you are interested in that game obviously. | ||

Don't force her to like something you like just to get that feeling of "having the same attitude" If she's interested in sc2 she will tell you, she'll hardly oversee that you are interested in that game obviously. who said anything about not respecting anybody or forcing anything onto anybody? also, the cursing isn't appreciated... | ||

She knows I make maps and play starcraft, but she won't get involved. She's not ashamed of it though, and she said if she really wanted to parttake in my hobby, she would, but she doesn't like it. She got me a terran t-shirt though | ||
