so how many of you guys actually keep track of birthdays, anniversaries, etc?
in my relationships i personally like to establish a no celebration rule when it comes to anniversaries. i feel its pointless at my age. plus, it takes pressure off of me, too. guys are hard to shop for. or at least harder than girls.

Eh, that ain't shit. Any decent guy ought to remember key dates such as those IMHO. But just 'cause you do doesn't mean you're a decent fellow...
But, to answer Princess's question, yes, I like to keep track of those special dates. Whether you choose to celebrate those dates is one thing but it's not that hard to at least remember and acknowledge 'em.

Birthdays and anniversaries (the real, one year kind, not the fine-grained 2 weeks kind). Of course, I haven't experienced the less-than-one-year anniversary haranguing since high school. I'm horrible with dates. I have all the important stuff in Outlook/Palm and make sure it reminds me one month ahead for any gift planning. I don't have a problem with gifts. It's a good opportunity to show some creativity. But I prefer a ban on any work-delivered items (I pity the women on the subway with all the flowers and balloons), and handmade stuff is cool too. Actually means a lot more to me than purchased items.

Heh.. that's why we created calendars. I usually mark feb 17 as my birthday, because the truth is, I start to forget myself. :huh:

AAAAHAHAHAHa. i do the same thing, i forget my birthday.
i don't remember my birthday until my family reminds me.
it's come to the point where everytime someone asks how old i am i have to do these quick calculations in my head 'cause i keep forgetting my age.

Women obviously care more about it than the men. I can't name one guy that I know of really give a crap about a one year anniversary. And what the hell is that 3 month anniversary crap or whatever month we're at since we started dating. Geeeez all them dates to memorize.
It's not cuz we don't care. It's cuz we got other stuff on our mind. So we miss your birthday or our anniversary by a few days....it's the thought that counts, that we eventually come through, right? :ph34r:
I don't make a big fuss or get angry if my significant other forgets about my birthday or our anniversary. It's just another day. ;)

Nah, we care as much as girls do. Thing is, our memory does not serve us correctly. At least, that's my story :D

Good one. I gotta remember that one
I never remember no matter how many times someone tells me. I still don't know my best friend's birthday. Somewhere around May I guess.

We got into a fight b/c I failed to acknowledge our 1 and a half and 2 and a half year anniversaries.
Who the hell celebrates half year anniversaries past 1 year?

Ouch.
Had the same thing happen but she was pissed when I forgot the 1 month anniversary, the 3 month anniversary and the 6 month anniversary. I mean what the hell, that's just crazy?!?! I didn't even know people celebrated those. Thank god, we didn't make it to the actual anniversary, freakin' psycho.

Hand made stuff and cards. I like cards. Cards with well thought, meaningful hand written messages.
You could always tell her that her memory isn't serving her right.

Actually, it seems to be a pretty good indication of the person's past history and expectations. That kinda thing tells me: many short past relationships, clingy to some degree, doesn't expect this to last a year. It trivializes relationships in the sense that time becomes more important than actually knowing each other.

Yeah good point.
She took it way too seriously for a fling, though. Plus I didn't see her too seriously, she wasn't long term material. It was just something to hold me down till something better came along. But, she got way to into it, when I made it perfectly clear from the get go. Too be honest I didn't even know we made it that far to the six month mark, I predicted no more than a few months.
Oh well it's in the past.

i'd hate to be 666th member.. i'm highly superstitious..
I forgot what day my last girlfriend's birthday was, and it was still months away, but she remembered mine (of course). She was sooooo pissed! She dumped me 2 months before her birthday so I guess it didn't matter. But I programmed my friend's birthday into my cell greeting because I've known her for 4 years and always forgot her birthday. And I'd like to go out with her :luv: :(
