If you have a group of friends who also don’t enjoy football, invite them over for a Super Bowl party. This goes double if their partners are also huge Super Bowl fans, and you score extra points if their partners are friends with your partner. If not, no biggie! Just invite some of his friends over too and make a night of it. Split up and have a movie or mini-series marathon in one half of the house while they watch the Bowl in the other half, and meet in the middle for snacks and drinks. Mission accomplished, everyone’s happy!

Going out? Concentrate on enjoying the company. Nothing says you have to sit and watch the game. Head into the kitchen and sample the hors d’oeurves, visit with your host and hostess (unless, of course, he or she is actively watching the game), and enjoy the commercials. After all, those commercials don’t come cheap and advertisers usually go all out to create the most unique, clever, and funniest commercials of the night.

Don’t fight it: Join them! Sometimes it’s as easy as learning a little bit about the game. But, rather than spending the entire Super Bowl asking your SO what’s going on (you will never ever be forgiven), do some research online.

Designate yourself as the go-getter. Run out of chips? You’ll go get them! Out of soda? You’re more than happy to go get more! And if another anti-fan wants to hitch a ride along with you? The more the merrier! There’s no reason to sit by the wayside and sulk on Super Bowl Sunday. Find a way to have a blast, and it’s all but guaranteed you will.

If all else fails, plan a GNO. Indulge your whims at Bailey’s Chocolate Bar in Lafayette Square or have a spa day and give one another mani/pedis old-school sleepover-style (and for the love of all things St. Louis, don’t forget the Imo’s or the cupcakes!).
