My friend Chris and I were having a gchat conversation earlier and he mentioned how his new girlfriend was “almost mad” at him for forgetting their one month anniversary.
Heh. Chicks.
That got me thinking about my current relationship and how both us don’t have a clue when our actual anniversary is. We’ve been together about 2.5 years, so we’ve had our share of them, but all we could both tell you is that it’s somewhere around the Super Bowl…errr…Big Game.
When people ask, I just say it’s the day before that big event where the two football teams play for world domination, but I’m pretty sure that event happens on a different date every year. And yeah, I could hop on the Google Box and figure it out, but really, does it matter? I mean, we went this long without knowing the exact date, so really, why bother?
I guess what I’m trying to say is, we never really made a big deal about that sort of thing. We show our love for each other every day (GAG!) so there’s really no need to commemorate the fact that we’ve put up with each other for another year.
If we were married, it would be a different story because your wedding involves spending the day with loved ones, eating cake and fancy white dresses. The only people present the day Dave and I got together were a few drunk friends that I don’t even talk to anymore.
We don’t know when our anniversary is, but we don’t really care either. We’re looking towards our future instead of reflecting on our past. Cause in the end, that’s really all that matters, right?
Maybe we just fail as a couple.
You guys are not a fail couple – the two of you seem like you have a BLAST together!
you guys dont fail! you’ve been together for a while and you care about each other. the end!

My husband and I just celebrated our 28th (!) wedding anniversary. Earlier this year we celebrated our 29th KISS anniversary. Yep, we have celebrated that all along. Weird thing is, it was my husband who first chose to mark the day.
Congrats on making it work!
I’m visiting from the LBS Tea Party. Happy Saturday!
firstly, i don’t get why people call dating for a month an anniversary…it’s more like a monthaversary. it sounds so high school too (no offense to your friend and his lady friend).
i think that my husband and i will only worry about the wedding anniversary…not the first date- though it’s easy to remember ‘cuz it was New Year’s Eve, or the engagement…it starts getting complicated and there’s too many presents to buy.
but i like what you said about showing each other you care everyday because that’s how it should be, not “i hate you 364 days out of the year because i’m hoping i’ll get a new car.”
