Tommorrow we'll have been dating for 9 months. Now I've been out of this dating business for along time. I was married for 17 years! Now divorced! Anyway I'd like to know if during the first year it is appropriate to atleast bring up the fact that we've been dating for 9 months! I was just thinking about sending an ecard with a little message reflecting that fact!
Most definitely... Have you acknowledged any other anniversaries? I guess it depends on how you guys do things. For example, my boyfriend and I celebrate every month. We just celebrated our 7th month and will do so every month until 1 year. Then after that, we'll just celebrate every 6 months, with the year mark being a big one. If you guys aren't big on anniversaries, then an E-card is definitely most appropriate.

I had acknowledged our 6 month anniversary but, honestly got no response from him. Of course, if my memory serves me correctly he was a little upset with me at the time! So, I went ahead and sent a nice ecard. We'll see if I get a response! Thanks for the input!
Kevin, it really depends on the couple. What you find trivial is special to other people. So be it! My boyfriend is the one that pioneered the monthly celebration thing. He's so sweet. He gives me roses based on how many months we've been together. No other guy has been so sweet and caring to me about stuff like that. It just makes me love and appreciate him even more!
I get roses or whatever flower seems to hit his fancy for whatever reason.
I got flowers just a couple weeks ago just for the simple fact that he was having a bad day in the office and figured I was too (our bad/good days seem to coincide), so he called up our local florist and said...hey it's me...my girl needs flowers.
But honestly, we've never really talked about celebrating anything, we just do it. I'll get a card and something small for him, and he'll get flowers and a meal for me.
~justa~
That's sweet Kevin! See? We all express our love for one another in different/random ways. I believe in random gifts/surprises that aren't expected too. Those are actually the best!
I totally hear you on that one. The other day on just a random drive through town, my boyfriend looks over at me and goes..."you know, I just came to the conclusion today while I was studing for my test was that....I enjoy spending every single minute of my day with you....and miss you when I don't"
I was like.....awwwwwww...he almost made me tear up. Two days later...flowers. Whatta guy!
Sounds like Kevin is a keeper also....his girlfriend is so lucky!
That is really sweet, imjustagirl. Awww... I guess we're all pretty lucky. A lot of guys are afraid to say stuff like that but it seems like we both have vocal guys, which makes all the difference in the world, in my opinion. It really is the little things like that, that matters. It's nice to have some positive posts on here focused around successful love! Thanks for sharing!
I have never been afraid to show my emotions or talk about them. Could be one of my downfalls, I guess. Sometimes.
My girlfriend works at a hospital near my apartment, so the other day, while she was still there, I got a rose and put it on her windshield underneath the wiper. I wasn't around that night but I got home to a message saying how pretty the rose was and how surprised she was.
every month jon and i get each other something special. Sometimes big, some times not. This month i got him a halloween tie. LOL, i wonder what i'll get. I always tell him too. I'm like, hey i got you a gift, but you can't have it till the 20th. He's so funny, one time he looks at me and goes, your purse is to small, then on an aniversary he took me to a mall and i picked out a cute hello kitty purse, with matching wallet. He payed. LOL, that's my sweety.
And this one time we were at a shop, and i was oogaling some pendants, and when we went to leave he makes a b line for the counter and goes, i want that one. He baught it and handed it over with a word. I was like. :O It was awesome. He does great little things like that all the time. And he always pays for food. It's so nice.
