In this relationship, when would the one year mark be?

Asked by XOIIO (18328points) May 2nd, 2012

Alright, so I just found out monday that the person I had been interested in and I had dated for a month. Yup, without me knowing. I took her for coffee once and planned a movie that didn’t happen, and when I asked her if she considered the coffee a date she said no, but supposedly we dated for a month. On tuesday I asked, and after a bit of talking we are dating again from her point of view, first time from mine, so the question is, would I celebrate a one year or whatever period aniversary from that first month which I was not aware, or yesterday?

Always celebrate the day she considers the important one.

@LuckyGuy But, I don’t know what that is.

Would I just randomly do it somewhere inbetween? lol

What @LuckyGuy said. These things are basically matters of stipulation, so go with what she thinks if you have no strong opinions about it. Ask her what date she considers to be the start of your relationship and why. Whatever answer she gives, say “that’s a good point, I agree.”

We’re not telling you to do this because we think you have some duty to be passive in the relationship. It’s just that she seems to have ideas about it, and you don’t seem to be too invested in any particular answer. Might as well go with her answer in that case.

@SavoirFaire Good idea, that seems to make the most sense.

I have to say, nothing comes as more of a shock than one day hearing fromsomeone that you dated a girl for a month randomly.

LOL! I’d love to have been dating incognito unawares too… Less stress that way, really!

Best anniversary date is the one she picks, really… just ask her what it is.

Funny, funny…. :-) I agree with all the above. Whatever date the lady says you began dating, go with that. Then you can’t be wrong!

@Bellatrix it’s weird though because I guess we broke up (one again, I had no idea lol), because when I asked she said “so you want to try again”

Bah, this is weird, date someone for a month and then break up (I think) without knowing?

I guess I’m just that good ;)

Hmm as a woman, I am not sure I would be overly flattered or thrilled if a man dated me for a month, I broke up with him and he had been totally oblivious to the whole experience.

Now either you are just not observant enough and engaging with this young lady OR she is assuming things are happening that are not OR it is some weird, young dating thing that I just don’t get. I suspect it could well be the latter option.

I hope you both are under the age of 17. Where does she get the month from? And, how did you all finally break up after the month?

If she does not count the coffee as a date, I suggest celebrating the day you met as an anniversary date or whatever the first date is for this new start or both. If you celebrate the date you met, assuming you both didn’t know each other for years as friends or something along those lines, it will come up faster and she will think it very romantic you thought of such a thing. Dinner and a sweet card about how you remember her that day. You don’t have to celebrate it every year going forward.

In 12 months, both your memory and her memory of the exact date will have faded.

LuckyGuy's avatar

Oh ! One more thing. Make sure she never finds out your screen name on this site. Got it?

marinelife's avatar

You two should talk about it. Also, if you asked her for coffee and a movie (even if it didn’t happen), then you were dating.

XOIIO's avatar

@LuckyGuy Yes, of course XD

I think you are waaaaaay too premature in even thinking about this issue. You’ll be lucky to make it to three months, much less twelve.

XOIIO's avatar

@wundayatta It’s more jsut for the heck of it, since it’s such a wierd start. My previous relationship went 3 strong before I ended it, and we barely had anythign in common, this time we get along really well and have loads incommon, but that’s besides the point.

Whoa lol, never really registered this before, but clicked a status tha tled to her facebook profile, her banner thingy has a anime guy holding a girl with the text “I want to build somehting permanent” at the top.

What’s kinda wierd is that the hair color of both people match lol
