ia Twitter, Andy Sorensen of Minnesota passed along the following question in the early morning hours: "Am I a bad bf for sitting the gf down on our anniversary Sat night and having her watch her 1st hockey game (Canucks/Leafs on HNIC)?"

Dear Andy,

Introducing your significant other to one of your passions is a lot like shooting the puck on net: it's always a good idea, it's just that depending on the situation, it might not always be your best option. With that in mind, I still need to know some other information in order to fully answer your question. Did you ask her to watch the game as part of a number of activities that you could enjoy as a couple? If so, and watching the game serves as a way to wind down from a special evening together, the request is perfectly reasonable. After all, if you're going to have a future together, she'll be watching many hockey games with you, just as you will be sharing many of her favorite activities as well.
