I had my first real boyfriend when I was in college. We clicked right away because we were both fans of the San Francisco 49ers. Most of the time, our friends would find us talking about football. I became a big fan because I grew up with three brothers who are all football players themselves.

The first time we went on a date to watch a game, my boyfriend and I were wearing matching San Francisco 49ers jerseys. I remember it as a very fun night where we even bonded with the other fans beside us on the bleachers. Even though I have already split up with that guy, my love for football continues. I still have that jersey in my closet and still wear it from time to time.
