I think I'm quite romantic, but I got it in the neck from my girlfriend recently for not remembering the "6 months to the day since we first met" anniversary. She kept asking me these “Do you know what the day it is today?” type questions. I couldn't answer them. I didn't even think I had to remember it.

Boys never get it! with us...it's always the little things that count. When you call out of the blue, or get us flowers, or when you remember something without us having to tell you all the time. I don't know why we care so much, but we do...which means you should too..lol..
even if your not the "romantic type" you have to know that it's the little things that count.

Eh... it depends on the girl. I do remember when I kissed my boyfriend for the first time, and every now and then I'll realize it's the 3rd of some month and go, 'Oh it's been such and such amount of time.' It's probably important to her because you're so important to her, and these little milestones are a way to measure how long she's been happy with you. Just tell her it's not that these anniversaries aren't important to you, you just tend to celebrate every day with her, rather than the little anniversaries. Just make a special effort to celebrate those other events like 1 year anniversary, 2 year, etc.

some anniversaries are very significant to a relationships such as the day you met, the day you married.
But some are not like the day you first had sex or the 12 day of meeting each other.
clearly having a 6 months anniversary of the day you met is ridiculous.
i would understand if it was a year or even 5 years together but 6 months is clearly a desperation on her side of things of perhaps getting a little attention or prezzie/treat early.
Put your foot down, you wont treat her till its a year. as a year is more of a significant number or something.

Generally it is importent yeah. Its a time to look back at the year gone by and remember all of the good things...plus a great way of getting a present! Id say that remembering the half years though is going a bit far, saying that if its your first 6 months together Id go get her some flowers and make it up to her, its cute.

Six months; bfd. Make it to a year, 2, 3, etc. and then have something to celebrate. I would guess that you are both fairly young if she's concerned about a 6 month anniversary. Just remember when that year anniversary rolls around; that shows you do remember, do care and that it's special to you, too.

We just want to remember the day you made us yours. Well six months is a little stupid i would say one yr and from there on. Is nice when men remember and we don't have to remind them. But i agree with you 6 months. Ask her what that means to her? Is not a stupid question you will be surprised to know that she won't have a decent answer to responed. Let her know that you want to get to know her in a deeper level and would like to know how much, and why it means so much to her. Like that you will be showing that you care & she will know how stupid it was of her to make a big deal of it. I often think of the day my boy made me his but not to the point that i will be pointing it out to him. It also means a lot to a women cuz is the time his been in her life as a partner.

I understand "dating" anniversaries, but "since we met" anniversaries? She must be insecure or something..... don't feel you have to celebrate all these ridiculous events. Tell her you love her often, and that it doesn't have to be a certain day for you to care about her. If she gets upset, something's wrong..... does she have trusting issues? I'm serious. I wouldn't be that upset. Even I forget the day my boyfriend and I met, maybe because we were friends first.... but that is quite clingy sounding...

well, i'm rubbish at remembering them, but I do kinda like the fact that my partner does because its sweet that it 'means' something to him. Its also sweet because someone wants to celebrate being with you, but a little scary because its like you need to congratulate each other on staying together for a certain time. In my opinion yearly is ok, but any less is a bit extreme. Tho I had an ex who cooked for me every 6 months and made it a special evening, which was nice

i think 6 months is alittle immature i did that too but in my teen years, i think we like u to remember our yearly anniverary cause it shows you remember something great about the relationship (the first day we got as a couple) its just sentimental. but to tell ya the truth later on in life if its not a kids bday youll even forget valentines day! like i said 6 month anniversary is a little juvenille but yearlys are nice to keep in mind!

LOL.... They are not important unless you are married I guess... I've never celebrated any kind of anniversary with a guy!!!
Where exactly do you draw the line...
Lets celebrate the day I was finally able to feel comfortable to fart in front of a guy.... lets celebrate the first time he sneezed... for goodness sake... women who do this... get a grip!!!!!!!!!
