So, when we met online she did stipulate that she loves board games. I did not know, at the time, how serious she was about the whole thing. Now that I have told her that " Homey don't play board games" she is trying real hard to have me play them. She's even invited some of my good friends over in order to lure me into playing board games.
Brothers and sisters, I am torn between compromising and holding my ground.
I hate board games, I love my girlfriend...

that's a hard one dude, I hate boardgames too. But in the immortal words of Dr Phil know when to pick your battles and when it's time to compromise. If this is a biggie for you then you need to tell her that your really not it the whole boardgame thing and try and smooth things over with her as best as possible. hopefully she will understand where your coming from and will lay off. If you can handle a few hours of D&D or whatever shes plays then go with the flow to please her. A happy women makes a happy man and a happy couple.
good luck!

I wouldn't say that you have to love them. Just be willing to play them once and a while. Compromise. If you play board games, she will probably agree to do something that you like, that she might not neccessarily like.
Not too mention, since she knows that you don't like to play them, she will appreciate it even more when you do.
No two people are exactly perfect for each other (if so, it is very rare), so we need to learn to live with those things that make us different, it keeps things interesting.

If you truly love her, give it a try, I mean...its not a life threatening situation right? what harm will it cause to play a little boardgame once in a while? However, I suggest you let your girlfriend know that you are doing this because you love her, so that she understands that it is something you won't want to be doing constantly but agree to do once in a while.
You have to give her some credit...she is trying real hard to get you involved, and you do have to remember loving someone means you are willing to accept them as they are and sacrifice something once in a while.
Accepting would also give you some leverage to get her to try something you like and she doesn't.
I see this as a win win situation, give a little, take a little.

Give them a chance--you might find a game or two you like. It's not like she is trying to change your views on the world or religion. At least give it a try and it's always lots of fun with more people. If you still don't like it--tell her that you've tried and it's still not your idea of fun. If she can't see that then try making her do something she can't stand and maybe she'll see your point of view

Give some a shot, if she tries really hard to find something that matches your interests, then she might find out more about what you really do like. If it turns out you completely hate them, here's a word of advice: don't get upset when she goes and plays them without you, it's something she really likes, and if you tey to get her to quit playing there will be resentment.
