Been with my boyfriend for about 3 yrs now. He said to me tonight "I'm having a male moment. when is your birthday? I know it's this week, right?"I tortured him for a bit and had some fun with it, and finally told him yes, he was right, it is thursday. But....secretly I am crushed. How could he not remember my birthday??does that mean I dont mean that much to him?

Been reading your answers...thank you all of you.....yes, he remembered it last year, but I think I did mention it a week before it came up.the year before, we weren't really dating, but just friends, but interested in each other.we started seeing each other after my birthday the first year. But, yes, he remembered last year after I said something a week before.

You should know by now, how dense we men are at those things. Sad to say it's one of our many failings.
At least he didn't forget the Birthday entirely, just the actual date, so it could have been worse.
And you do mean a lot to him, he did remember the week of your birthday, and called you to make sure, he got the right date.
If he didn't care for you, would he have even bothered to ask.
Men can remember who won the world series, in 1902 or whatever year, but birthday's anniversaries, etc, just don't stick.
Sadly as I said, that is just a guy thing.
So cut him some slack for forgetting the actual day, and making sure, he didn't miss it all together.
I'm sure he'll get you a great gift and give you a great night to go along with it.

This is a typical male response. Guys just aren't in to marking anniversaries and special moments. But don't write him off. He did know it was looming, so he should get credit for that. Next time, do what 99% of wives and girlfriends do, drop a hint the week before. It's much easier than agonizing!

Guys forget things like that. Guys can forget their mother's birthday, their fathers', their siblings... Don't take it personally. women expect guys to remember their birthday, the "anniversary" of their first date, the "date" they first met, the date she graduated from 5th grade... women expect men to remember a lot of shyt. Just remind the guy a few weeks before and stop playing games. and if there is something particular you want for your birthday, tell him. you may hate doing it, but it's better than receiving a new backpack as a birthday gift, right?

After three years that should definitely be something he'd remember, that is, if it's important to him. Or, someone who knows you well, and knows that you'd be hurt if they forgot would do the smart thing and write it down somewhere. That's what I do, I have friends that I've known for 10 years or more, but I still forget they're birthdays, so I always keep them written in my organizer because they're important to me, and so are they're feelings.

Heh, don't worry about it. He was right, it was a very "male moment." Some people just have bad memories for little things like that. My dad always gets his anniversary wrong, and often buys my mum flowers 3 days early cause he doesn't get the right day! It's not something that should concern you, as long as the guy loves you who cares about the little things.

don't take it that serious, of course the story I am about to tell you was about a sister and not g/f but I use to send my sister a card on her birthday the 16th of oct every year until one year she got up the nerve to tell me her bday was the 21st of oct. I never remembered that. come to find out . I had gotten in touch with one of my long lost g/fs and her birthday just happened to be on the 16th of oct. I had confused them in my mind for years. so don't let it bother you too much, the months and days and bdays start to run together after a while.

You've been together for 3 years he should remember your birthday. He was probably just messin around or just wanted to make sure he got the right day.

He didn't completely forget he just had a brain fart on the date. I wouldn't worry about it. People forget all the time and is not necessary cause we don't care is just a part of life.
Happy Birthday!
