What was something your SO introduced you to that you ended up loving?

Snorkeling in Cozumel. I never would have gone but for his suggestion, and I now rule at spotting all the cool undersea critters.
sauna.
i wouldn’t ever go to a public one. and in private, i had always considered it as an unattainable luxury. but her parents got one at home, which we can use. and it’s a wonderful, relaxing, wholesome experience.
I’d say the outdoors and nature in general. Before I met my SO, I was very much a homebody, my hobbies were things like videogames. He then took me hiking, camping, wild swimming, kayaking etc. and I loved it all.
F1
All kinds of music, too many things to list specifically. We had a lot of overlapping musical taste to begin with and that’s one of the first things we connected over as friends before we were in a relationship, but there’s also tons of stuff I didn’t know that he did that I now love (and vice versa). Also certain radio shows. We’re both public radio nerds lol. Some of the stuff one of us knew but the other didn’t was probably because I’m Canadian and he’s British and some things just never made it big on the other side of the Atlantic.
Stardew valley.
And I wouldn’t say love but I enjoy watching F1 a lot more than I used to.

I am a hardcore/hardstyle music fan. Went to festivals and such and I showed my gf videos of the festival I went to.
She was really interested and now 6 years later weve been to countless other festivals and such, and she now is, in some areas, a bigger fan then me.
Alot of our friends we got out of the hardstyle scene and even her maid of honor she got to know trough it.
Tofu and whiskey!
He introduced me to Kingdom Hearts and oh dear God did I get hooked on that. I think three of our dates back then was me coming over in the morning and playing it all day. We were both 15 at the time.
Anime. I fell in love when he showed me FMAB. Since then we’ve been on the peak hype train I feel.
My fiancée is what you might call a music-nerd, a metalhead in particular. My preference used to be more radio/mainstream stuff (nothing heavier than Disturbed, Nightwish etc.). Most of what she listens to is Death Metal / Black Metal with harsh vocals, growls, screams.
It took a while for me to understand that this is still music and not just “noise”, lol. But she’s an excellent guide and I learned to endure, even appreciate, sometimes even enjoy a lot of “her” bands.

Logic (the artist, not logical sense in general haha) and he’s now in my top 3!
Trying new foods (just in general, I’ve tried so many new things) and exercising regularly (I love going to my exercise classes multiple times a week now!)
My partner introduced me to hiking. I used to hate the idea of being outdoors for hours, but now it’s my favorite way to clear my head. Nature therapy is real.
Gaming
Star Wars! I always made fun of him for being such a nerd about it but he convinced me to watch the original trilogy. Three movies later I was completely hooked. Now we have lightsaber duels in our living room and I’m not even embarrassed about it.
I’m not usually into anime, but my partner introduced me to “Dr. Stone” and I absolutely loved it!!!

My boyfriend got me into bird watching of all things. I used to think it was the most boring hobby ever but now I have three bird feeders and literally sprint to the window when I spot a new species.
Astrophysics (learned so much about it thanks to him, and it’s incredibly cool!).
While I introduced him to TTRPGs and he loves them!
