I did everything I could, I popped CDs with pretty ballads on the car, made her watch Purple Rain with me, played venus de milo on the piano, but she never say anything about any of his songs, the only songs she gave props were reflection and the beautiful ones. Does your girlfriend hates Prince too?

I don't have a girlfriend at the moment, but the former ones...no, they usually didn't like Prince...I think they were kinda jealous...I don't know...the last one hate him

It's a difficult one.

You wanna share your passions with those that you are close to, but you have to remember that no one likes something pushed onto them

In the past i've made the mistake of playing Prince music /videos at every concievable moment. I think i've often just come across as a little obsessed. As i am

I find now that you should just be cool with it. For example don't just be playing Prince all the time!

Little story:
Recently i was in the car and had the 'Emancipation' lp playing on low- a CD i'd never play to impress a non-fan. My ex turned up the stereo and asked what the tune was? It was 'the love we make'. She said she really liked it, and asked why i had never played it.

The BF really doesn't care too much for him. He deals.

She doesn't like Prince as far as his songs, however she loves how he plays guitar!! So, at least there is something.

I turned my boyfriend on to Prince, I kind of regretted cuz he's always borrowing my cd's
But it was nice to go with him to the concerts

My husband says that he doesn't like Prince. But I think he only says that because I am obsessed.

my man is into hardcore rap and anything tupac. the only prince he can get into is the purple rain soundtrack- he likes darling nikki. lol he acts as if he doesn't like it around his brothers tho.

No, because i don't have a girlfriend All i can say is that i feel sorry 4 your g/f

My wife digs Prince. In fact, we went to both his stops on the Musicology tour. However, when we 1st met, she kinda laughed at his music. Then, it caught on.


I think its cause she was 19 when we met and the way music is now, it takes a little adjustment in your taste if you haven't heard much older stuff. But, since Prince's hits are timeless, it takes a couple listens to catch on.

Just take her to a concert, then she will believe.

its a really tricky one! ive manged to convert quite a few of my friends who now love prince and come 2 the concerts etc etc. ive never mad a relationship with some1 who digs Prince. i try and try to but i find myself pushing them and they get mad which is fair nuff! i mean it does look a bit strange when i take a girl 2 my room and prince is staring at her from every angle!. what annoys me is when people simply dont like Prince, and they cant even name 3 of his songs! thats when schools in!.

I am quite lucky because we both love prince and I have seen my wife defend him on many ocasion.but she is not so addicted as I am

My girlfriend likes some other guy.

My EX - BOYFRIEND hated the fact that I adore Prince ... as I said, my EX

My girlfriend doesnt even like me at the moment!...

And she hates Prince. i took her to ONA in London and she was so bored!..... Bought tickets off a tout for that one (100 quid each!)... I keep telling her it was because we were right at the back... Thank god I didnt take her the night before on my Club tickets, I took her lesbian friend instead... she loved it!

Ahum! Tsk Tsk Nathan u know u got to tell the truth lol.

That would be too sexy!!!! NO my husband doesn't listen to Prince. Had a boyfriend from High School that listened to him. I think that is how I began listening to his music though my ex. My son who is 4 does listen to Prince. I have fun with him we turn the music up loud in the car both singing alone.

Kerry

That always works!

the wife only likes his hits (shes into hip hop) but i have introduced/forced a few non hits on her:
17 days
hot thing
get loose
gold
lady cabdriver
reflection
LoveSign
The Holy River

She did attend the denver show w/ me and when i asked her if his concert was better than the nelly concert a couple years back, she said "YESSS....Prince's concert was way better....nelly's was a joke compared to his".

I have been with my Girlfriend for 2 years now and she is not even aware that i love Prince, she has never even stepped foot in my house. The sad thing is that i'm not even joking.

My girl friend likes but she isnt as hardcore of a fan as i am. I guess because she didn't grow up listening to him like i did.

My bf casually likes the 78-92 stuff, I tried to hip him to the Gold Experience, but he wasn't having it.

I took him to the ONA Tour and, being unfamiliar with the TRC stuff, he wasn't that into it, although he enjoyed the show and the musicianship.

After six years though, it's impressive, he could tell you who was in the Time, who had solo careers, what year protegee albums were released and such. He's a bit of an amateur knowledge-bank on Prince.

been a fan for 20 years,,
the first g/f during that time hated him. 6 years
the second was a huge fan like me. 2 years
the third was older than I and only liked his ballads. 3 years
the fourth was about 8 years younger than I and native american and had no idea who he was. 1-1/2 years
the fifth was during the time I even stopped listening to him, therefore we never talked about him. But we met at an after party during the jam of the year tour. 1-1/2
the current only knows his hits. 4 years

AT FIRST MY EX-GIRLFRIEND DIDNT LIKE PRINCE. THAT WAS THE 3 YEARS WE WERE TOGETHER. UNTIL I STARTED MAKING SOME VERY GOOOOOD CD'S AND BRING THEM TO BED DURING YOUR LOVE SESSIONS.

ONE: CD CONSISTED OF THE LOVE SONGS FROM PRINCE. (2 CDS)

TWO: CD CONSISTED OF THE FREAKY SIDE OF PRINCE. (2 CDS)

AFTER THAT SHE LIKED PRINCE ALOT. SHE STILL COULDNT UNDERSTAND HIM BUT SHE ENJOYED THE LOVE/SEX SESSIONS THE THREEE OF US HAD.



BE WILD
PRINCE FAN FOR LIFE

my wife just doesn't get it. The other day i sat her down on the couch and played CALL MY NAME and after it was over she just sat there with this blank look on her face , then she said that the reason she didnt like p's music is bcause he has too many horns in it and that his music sounds too las vegasy. What the hell does that mean? Personally, I think she just looks for reasons to not like his music . Oh well, Im tired of explaining over and over anyway. Besides, what wife in her right mind wouldn,t like CALL MY NAME ?

I don't like Call My Name either and I am female and a Prince fan . BTW, my boyfried is a Prince fan, we met at a Prince concert many years ago

Adore7 said:

Yea same as my Fiance, she dislikes the music because I did it so much and because I've had a 20+ year relationship with Prince music and a 6 year one with her.
