Do you keep track of anniversaries?

[JimCasy]

I've always thought it was really weird when people actually keep track of the anniversary of their first date, or first kiss, or engagement, or whatever. My roommate and her boyfriend celebrated the anniversary of their getting together every month that they dated...which was almost three years. I can understand celebrating a wedding anniversary I guess, but it still just doesn't seem like that big a deal to me. And luckily my boyfriend feels the same way, heh.

Anyone else just not give a damn about anniversaries? Or do you care a whole lot and celebrate every little thing? I suppose I could've made a poll, but I don't feel like backing out of here when I'm so close to clicking the Submit New Thread button.

Do you keep track of anniversaries?

I'm a guy, so no.

Only my birthday. It's a reglious holiday.

And if you guys ever elect me President, I'll see that it'll mean a day off from work.

 

[Australis]

I thought it said adversaries.

To which I would have replied: Yes. Yes I do.

I kept track of when we were 'officially' together, but our first date was like 3 months before that and I couldn't pinpoint it or I probably would have gone with that one. We did something for our 6 month and one year but not every month, and the six months thing wasn't much more than a normal date night with a small gift of affection. I figure we probably would have ditched the half-year anniversaries after that first one but we never made it back around.

I remember when we first met, but only wedding anniversaries and birthdays are important to me.

My husband reminded me a couple of days ago that our wedding anniversary was three weeks ago. I remember the date we first me but I have real problems remembering when we got married. On the whole, though I'm pretty good at remembering those things.

The wedding anniversary is sometimes marked with a card and sometimes not...never kept track of first date (and the like).

 

[StarMan]

Funny you should mention it. I've only just realised I've missed my 9th anniversary ... as a member of TrekBBS. I usually post some self-important thread in light of it but I've missed it by three weeks.

Dear lord - on the verge of a decade.

Oh well. We'll party then.

I always think this is such a silly concept.

What's really sad is that these days, people aren't "officially" dating until they agree to change their relationship status on Facebook.

I'm awful at remembering dates, and anniversaries aren't usually that big a deal to me. My husband and I were together for about seven years before we got married, and he would always remember our anniversaries and do something sweet. I'm hoping I'll do a better job with my wedding anniversary.

I've got my wedding date engraved inside my wedding band. It's a good bit - someone asks how long I've been married, I take my ring off, peer inside, appear to do the math and then give the answer. Men usually find it funnier than women do for some reason.

 

[Spot's Meow]

When I get married I'm sure I'll do a little something to celebrate that anniversary each year, like go out to a nice dinner or something, but my boyfriend and I don't keep up with any dating anniversaries. We've been together for 3 years and a few months, but I don't remember any exact date of getting together. We never really cared much, it just doesn't seem important. My roommates in college would celebrate anniversaries with their boyfriends every month. . It was really silly and ridiculous. If you need that much affirmation that the person hasn't left you yet then it's likely your relationship wasn't on solid ground to begin with.

 

[SmoothieX]

My wife and I know the day we met, the day we started dating, date we got married, etc. That being said, we don't make much fuss over it.

Damn straight

My gf and I celebrated 1, 6 and 12 months, and now its every year. It's nice to celebrate I think, particularly since it's a day for just us, rather than a Hallmark holiday like Valentine's Day.

I found out I was dating someone through Bebo. It was quite a shock to me as I wouldn't have thought it anymore than a fling or casual sex. It took me a day or two to realise 'In a relationship' referred to me.

Anniversaries... I onl really follow wedding anniversaries. I barely remember birthdays, the only ones stuck in my head (other than my own) is my sisters (Christmas Eve, not hard to forget) and my daughters.

well, we were both going to school in different states when we first started dating over the summer, then she went to Europe for most of it and I didn't see her again til the fall when I moved to go to a little art school that happened to be much closer to where she was. If it weren't for my decision to go to that art school, our couple dates that summer wouldn't have amounted to much, so that first time I drove up to visit her at her school was pretty much when we were officially together.

It made sense at the time.

Oh, that's all well and good. I'm mostly citing my best friend's last relationship as an example. He and a girl had been dating each other for about a month before they had a conversation where they made the decision that they were officially a couple, and then they simultaneously agreed to update their Facebook profiles to reflect that decision.

I thought it was one of the most retarded things I've ever heard.

 

[Finn]

You guys think that's bad? I've heard of someone who celebrates 1/2 month anniversaries....

BTW- I just passed my first month anniversary with my girfriend last Friday .

 

[ManOnTheWave]

Way back in ancient history, I used to celebrate the anniversary of the first kiss with the ex every year. I can't imagine obsessing over such minutia now.
