So yesterday Steve brings up that it's been three months since our first date. I wasn't aware men kept track of things like this because I think most of my previous bf's didn't. I was pleasantly surprised and it made me feel warm and squishy. :)

Of course I knew because I always keep up with stuff like that just in case, but I wasn't gonna bring it up and well, he just keeps surprising me at how sweet he is. It feels good to finally be with a "nice guy." :blushing:

    Yeah. I do this. Not sure how many men will admit that they do.

    Yea I tend to keep track of time like that. Although usually I keep it to myself.

    Yeah pretty much. I have a good memory about stuff like that cuz I look at a calendar all day. Though I probably won't mention most of them.

    Also, tell your man to trash the piss water Coors Light shirt. :wink: :laugh:

    No, although the girl usually brings up stuff like that, so it's difficult to not just know.

    I only do this because once I hit 10-15 years I realize this would be the same time I was getting out of jail for killing her. Just saying...

    I don't even know what day it is currently most of the time, nevermind keeping track of what dates certain events happened previously. I've forgotten my own birthday before.

    As a woman I am barely able to keep track so I would not expect him to keep track...

    I usually forget by the second date. I had an ex that wanted to celebrate our first date anniversary every month, that got old really fast.

    That is a little...excessive.

    I just recently did this because the woman I was with seemed like she was going to be the woman to settle me down. However she allowed her family to interfere with her happiness, so now we are just friends. Maybe it will work out in the end but I'm not holding my breath. On a somewhat funny note, we made it official on April Fool's Day. I guess now the joke's on me, huh?

    Yes, I know the first night I met her (3/17), our first date weekend (3/23 - 3/25), and the day she said she was willing to go exclusive with me (4/4). I know her birthday (6/6) and her daughter's birthday (7/16). I also know that she's 349 miles from me right now and I'll drive those miles tomorrow to see her.

    Not only did I remember the 3 month point, I remembered every month.

    Nope. Also don't remember our anniversary, or my wife's birthday. Oh, make that my ex-wife's birthday.

    My ex always remembered the day we met. I had forgotten, so it really struck me as special because gifts and anniversaries and such were not important to him.

    I do..I try to keep something from the "date". You know kinda like how Ted steals the Blue French Horn. My ex-wife was a hair stylist and our first meeting she asked me to come in for a hair cut. I kept the receipt from that hair cut until our divorce. I have kept concert tickets, movie stubs, maybe a cell phone picture. Now that I wrote that down it seems creepy...

    That is just very grade school - I don't know of many women who do that!

    I had an Ex like this too..ugh it was annoying. I get anniversaries as in celebrating one year! but really each month?? Nope that is annoying. But it could have also been annoying because I wanted to end it for 3 of the 6 months we were together and didn't have the guts to hurt the guy.

    I have a good concept of time and I remember dates. So yes, I'm the type to remember things like this.
