I'm facing a dilemma (sp)

Buy her this (http://a1204.g.akamai.net/7/1204/1401/04012717011/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/7340000/7348710.jpg) for her birthday.

She might as well start learning now

Dude you're 17. You'll be dumping her within 6 months anyways. Game takes precedence. The only time devoted fan misses a game when the skins are in sole possesion of first place is in family emergency times. If you're still dating her when your 26 and this is an issue then you have bigger problems. A good woman will understand as long as you make an attempt to do right. Take her to brunch and ask her to chill with you to watch the game and then you can go to dinner. That's two meals and quality time spent chilling together. If that doesn't get it done then it's "don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya" time.

I have had the same problem before...At the time I said to the chick "While you’re very dear to me don't make this a choice between you and watching the Redskins. Let me watch the game and I'll do anything you want before the game, after the game and when there is no game on TV." She agreed and that was that. The moral of the story is that you have to make a stand now...and that the Redskins come first unless chick is on her death bed!

seriously, don't get totally whipped at 17 and only 6 weeks in...

You are 17 juggle girlfriends until you realize you don't want to die alone.

IT's a test--how much does she love YOU! If she really loves you, she'll understand and gladly let you watch the game.

(Thank god my wife's birthday is in JULY! lol.)

Good luck, dude.

At last a few voices of reason. You're only 17.

This is not going to be the last chick you date. How sick would you feel if you missed even one game of the Redskins unbeaten 2005 season?

If you really are that serious about her then set a tone now and tell her you'll take a few hours out on Sunday. If she gets all bent out of shape ditch her.

If you really want to do everything (watch the Skins game and celebrate her B-day), then here's the plan:
- At game time, or maybe a little bit after (possibly at half time), take your girlfriend to go get her nails done (nice and time consuming). You can even throw in a massage (which they do at many semi-nice nail places). This should take a good hour and a half (which sounds about the time of a half of football).
- Afterwards, she will be beaming with joy from being pampered all day. Plan a nice dinner for afterwards and you will be "golden."

Just a couple hints, since I've been there and done that quite a few times

Good luck,
Chris

dump her and tell her to go have a pillowfight with he friends

Watch the game.
Pick her up at 5pm and do whatever. You'll be home for the second half of the late game and catch NFL Prime Time to see the great Redskins highlights.
