"Trying too hard" pretty much sums up her personality in toto.

She reminds me of my mom, in a bad way. Mom would always try to be whatever her current boyfriend wanted her to be, like all the things he liked, the whole nine yards.

While it's fun to have mutually-enjoyed hobbies, sometimes you just have to accept that your partner isn't going to be into something you are. At the same time, making the effort to at least try something your partner is interested in is good, but you don't have to keep doing it if you don't enjoy it.

That probably doesn't make sense -_-
