    Could be worse. She could have fallen asleep during sex.

    Start tossing Pearl Jam into every second sentence you say. It doesn't even have to be relevant.

    "I think I'm gonna order Chinese food for Pearl Jam dinner."
    "What's on TV? Oh, some cartoons, Pearl Jam a documentary about the World Wars..."
    "Officer! This man is Pearl Jam stabbing me with a knife!"

    Eventually, this verbal conditioning will make her associate Pearl Jam with pretty much every aspect of life, from dinner, to being stabbed with a knife. Then, when you turn on SVT again, she'll either sit and watch happily, or make dinner... or stab you.

    fuckin funny

    now thats some damn good logic

    So I've just started dating this girl. She is a cheerleader type, likes sports, really cool, but knows NOTHING about Pearl Jam. I thought the time was right, so I popped in SVT to begin the education process... She fell asleep.

    Where do I turn next?

    You two should have been playing doctor instead of watching SVT.

    I agree with someone else's post, keep your love of pj to yourself (not their exact words). After hearing criticism or inaccurate crap about PJ, I decided to not tell people (like at work) that I like them.

    Also, CSI is one of my favorite tv shows and I fall asleep watching it all the time. Does not mean I'm bored, I'm sleep deprived.

    You think that's bad.....my ex-wife fell asleep actually at a Pearl Jam show!!

    I'm not saying that's the reason we broke up but maybe, on some level.....

    Agreed. If you like her, don't try and force PJ on her. If she shows an interest, perhaps THEN start weening her onto it. If she doesn't, and you keep pushing it on her, you'll most likely push her away for no good reason.

    I personally don't find SVT that interesting and can see why someone who isn't a fan might fall asleep during it. I can even see myself falling asleep during it if I wasn't in the mood. Owned it for years...think i've watched it once. Doesn't live up to the hype around it for me.
    Agree with both paragraphs. I'd never force a bf to like them... as long as he makes an effort (which she obviously did by agreeing to watch it) but I don't think sitting them down to a DVD is the best way (although I've converted people with LATG... play the best ones only, don't play the whole lot... and they beg for more :) ). I try to hold back on my obsession cos I don't want people thinking I'm nuts... but my bf did his OWN research :)

    No reason to give up on anybody.

    The title of this thread sounds like a line from an angsty Bowling for Soup number.

    "she fell asleep during single video theory,
    I want a Pearl Jam chic to make my life completely"

    At least she didn't fall asleep during sex :)


    I fall asleep during movies/tv shows all the time...even if I really like them...I'm just usually on the go all day long and when I finally sit down and relax I'm out like a light :o As others have suggested...try something a bit more high energy
    There's a light when my baby's in my arms :)
  • You should just demand that she stand during all PJ-related activities. :)

    as long as she didn't fall asleep while you were.....well, ya know...;) it's all good.

    there's still hope for her, and you both as a couple, yet. also depnds just HOW important pearl jam, and shared musical tastes are to you too. shared love of music is a HUGE bond in my marriage....my husband actually turned me on to pearl jam....but my love for pearl jam FAR eclipses his. and it's ok. :) let her here pj...play cds....let it slowly get in her psyche. and absolutely, take her to see em LIVE! if that doesn't do it, eh well......see how good the rest of the relationship is. :D


    ok, i now have read the thread. :D
    thanks for all the laughs! good stuff in here! and i should've realized the 'sex joke' here would happen within at least 7 posts.


    however, here seems to be the most *sensible* response, although there were a few:
    dude its not that big a deal, she doesnt HAVE to like pj. just play their music as you would normally, if she likes it, she will come around to it, then you can begin "the education process".
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow
