The best way I got my relationships in the past to enjoy starcraft is to introduce them to characters and people I thought they would relate to and enjoy. With the help of day[9] 100th episode, and teamliquid, I introduced my last relationship and she got hooked on the scene.

My newer ( almost 2 year) relationship is from south korea so she doesn't need any introduction really and will occasionally put up with watching me watch something. She does like to play 2v2 and other games with me though.

Hehe, I was in the Crowd for the IEM 2011 finals, Ace vs Moon. My girlfriend was with me, quietly making a crossword puzzle on the chair next to me xD.

She agreed to try some basic missions, but she never actually did... but she doesn't lilke it anyway... so yeah

lol it was easy for me, I mentioned watching SC2 tournaments a couple of times, and she said she'd like to see what it's about, and we watched the WCS 2012 EU Semi-Final and finals together, and I explained what do units were and she quite enjoyed it, so much so that she asked to do it again once she comes back to the country ^_^

She's a Duran brothers fan, but really doesn't like Stephano haha

I wasn't so successful with anime though

PS: she has absolutely no clue about video-games bar Farmville, Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja.

My wife started to watch the VoDs with me as a mutual agreement, because I watched with her other shows like cooking shows or snoopy cartoons (that she likes a lot) and that stuff.

In the end, she begun to understand the basics of the game and begun to name each one of the units with funny names which are easy to remember for her. (Overlord => screen licking bug, Zergling => wing bug, Roach => Clamshell, Queen =Z Lady bug or stick bug, Muta => bat bug, Marine => guy, Marauder => fat guy... I think you got it)

And then, we were in the Dreamhack Valencia 2012 finals, booked the same hotel than most of the players (we were having breakfast close to Hero and Taeja) and she rooted quite hard for both of them, because she think Hero is cute and Taeja plays well.

In the end, she found herself enjoying the show as much as I did.

Took me nearly 2 years of slow exposition, but now we share another hobby.

So the final message is: if you want your gf to join you with your hobbies, don't force her, just expose her to it slowly. In the end, SC2 is quite entertaining to watch, even if she doesn't play (my wife has never played Sc2)

Also if everything else fails, introduce her to CarbotAnimations and cute zerglings :D

PS: And I'm a better cook and I now also love the snoopy cartoons...

This is what I had in mind for getting my mother into the game. It's just that he uses a lot of terms in his stories, like talking about the game itself, WCG, and a lot about the players, and I think that would make someone lose interest in what he has to say.

Unless you know what is going on in sc2 and have a pretty deep understanding of the game, it's incredibly boring to watch.

GF loves watching LoL with me, can't stand sc2 at all. And she grew up watching BW on tv.

I can't get my gf to play SC2 but she enjoys watching all the major events with me. What works in my case is to provide her with some back story about every player so she can decide who to cheer for. She now knows most of the popular players pretty well.

Some time ago we also went together to IEM and she really liked it. I'd recommend live events like these to anyone as it's a really awesome experience even if you have very vague understanding of the game.

I agree with everyone saying Day[9]. He is funny as well as engaging. He will tell personal stories, explain some of what is going on in the game to the viewers, and is all around a likable guy imo.
