DO: An Autograph from Her Favorite Coach or Athlete
Okay, I get it, this is typically not doable by any stretch of the imagination. Plus, she wouldn't ask for that specifically because she too knows just how far fetched that idea is. On the other hand, this would make a stellar surprise if you were able to make it happen.
DO: A Simple Date Where You Two Go Out and Play a Sport Together
Whether this means playing a simple game of catch, passing a football, or even just kicking a soccer ball around, this date will be sure to make her heart melt. Not a lot of planning has to go into it (because simplicity is obviously key), and, if you're lucky, it'll be a sport that you both naturally love. Easy win-win!
DON'T: Think of Just YOUR Team(s) When Buying Her Present
Chances are this girl is insanely passionate about her team(s), and that passion is what helped her to win your heart. If you both like the same team(s), then good for you! No problemo! For those who have conflicting sports loyalties, this is IMPERATIVE. Sure, you want everyone to see this girl show the same love and passion that you have for your team(s), but let her loyalties remain in tact. If you like rival teams, just don't even think about giving her your team apparel. Common sense, fellas. Don't be rude...
DO: Tickets to a Sporting Event
Depending on the sport and if you're wanting to take her to see her favorite team, this isn't always doable, especially because tickets can be super expensive. It's understandable. Just like the autograph, chances are she won't directly ask for this... Just find a sport that you both love, tickets at a reasonable price, and watch her go crazy over the nice surprise!
DO: Team Color Flowers
Flowers are always the best and easiest gift to give a girl. Hands down. Go the extra mile and try to get her favorite flowers in her favorite team's colors! If you can't do that, let the flowers and the vase (optional) correlate to make her team's colors. Either way, this is sure to be one of the best gifts you could ever give her.
