I might do any of those things. Mostly (1), though. My hobbies are mostly portable, so we would tend to be in the same room, even if we were doing different things.
-
2. i'd like to know what intrigues them so about it, you never know, by watching them you may find yourself actually enjoying it. If that failed and i really couldnt bear it, id find my own hobby also, its good though as you'll both have something to talk about
-
If they are doing this hobby in a pre-arranged timeslot, then I would take that as 'me' time and would do whatever I likes - alone, or out with other people, and I wouldn't go over the agreed time limits. However if this person has me alone with them, with nothing else to do, and they just slope off into their hobby effectively leaving me to sit there like an idiot, I would do more than bug them. Then I would find a new S/O who had some basic manners.

in a relationship it's normal to not like everything about the other person. try and see what it is they like about this boring hobby of theirs. im sure you do something ur partner doesn't like. relationships are about comprimise. if you love this person you will learn to like the things they do or you can do ur own thing while they are doing that thing they love. no need to bug them or get aggrivated about it this stuff.

I'd go with (2). Either you will find that it's not really that boring after you figure out what they are doing, or you will realize that you just can't get into it and go find something to do on your own or with YOUR friends. Numbers (3) and (4) are not going to make you any points with the S/O, or with his friends.
-
either 2 or 4.

I'm horrible, no seriously I am. If I can find something else to occupy my time I will sit with him and do that but if I can't I'm sure I bug him to no end! haha
-
Probably 1 or 2. I can easily read a book or write in the same room as my s/o.

Shopping...I just say have fun, I'm going golfing. I have gone shopping with her a couple of times, most recently in NYC. After me getting antsy, she just said go to a bar and I'll meet you in an hour.
-
I would go do something I like. That way, we have something to talk about when I come back!
-
If you two are serious with each other, try to join in on the hobby. you might like it. My wife and i both love to play bingo. Its a hobby we both love and win. If this hobby is not something you can both share, then you are in for a boring time and this is not good. Things in common is what keeps a couple together.

He likes to work on his toys in the garage and I just have no interest in it so I find something to keep myself occupied but he gets upset with me because he sees it as me not wanting to spend time with him.
-
Get a hobby of my own that they find really boring so they can leave me alone when I'm engaged in that
-
It would depend on if they wanted me to participate with them or not. If they would, then I would give it my best shot and enjoy spending the time with them doing something they like. If not, then I would do something on my own.
-
First, I try 2. Then I move on to 4. Then I go to 1.
-
You can A. Support him and not be a nag. Don't bug him. B. Do whatever you like to do and meet up later.
-
Out of love, sometimes you do the boring activity with them if they would like that. Other times just go do something that you like to do. #2, 3 and 4 will get you nowhere and probably cause arguments
-
Join in and give it a chance. If that doesnt work find a hobby that you do like or find a mutual hobby that you both can do occasionally. I didnt use to like football. Not I LOVE it. I learned the ins and outs of the game and now enjoy it with my husband.

I have tried 2,3,and 4 but 1 is always the best!!
