I am clearly not a milestones-oriented girl. Does that make any sense at all? If I read that sentence I wouldn't get it either. So, here's what I mean. I read all of your blogs, and many of you will do a post to commemorate your first date with your significant other. Others of you know the exact date of your first kiss. The date you became exclusive. The date of your first "I love you."
I read these and I am amazed because I don't know any of this. Sure, I know when WEG's and my first kiss was because it was the Saturday before Memorial Day three years ago. But a date? I'd have to pull out the calendar and look. I know where we went when we first went on a date, but when that happened...who knows?! And our first I love you...no clue whatsoever.
And the thing is, my mind is usually a steel trap. I remember everything! I can remember the tiniest of details. My friends call me when they are trying to remember something and it's driving them crazy because they know I'll remember. But, clearly, I do not put much stock in the actual date that something happened. It makes me feel a little weird. Like I am a bad girlfriend for not knowing the dates of all of our milestones. But then I realize, WEG certainly doesn't know them either....I'd bank on that.
Maybe we're just not that type of couple- couples come in all shapes and sizes, right? At least it's not a source of contention because one of us knows and the other doesn't. It doesn't hurt my feelings that he doesn't know because I don't know myself, and vice versa. I still love him just the same, and I cherish those special milestones, even if I don't know an actual date. That's all that matters, right?
Please tell me that some of you are like this, too, and I am not the only one!!

I only know the day that Clay and I started dating because it was the Clemson-FSU game on labor day and the day we got engaged was the same day as the bridge run.
ReplyDeleteOh... and our wedding day is 4/10/10. It sounded like Rin Tin Tin, so I figured I'd remember it and so could he. :-)
I'm with you - I don't remember a lot of those dates....but sometimes I surprise myself! Our first kiss was during the Final Four....first weekend in April. Engagement was 3/13...and luckily he'll never forget the wedding date of 7/11.
ReplyDeleteI'm the exact same way! I just don't remember those dates. Goodness! I remember our first date, but that's usually it.
ReplyDeleteM and I hung out for so long flirting around. The only reason I know our first kiss was bc it was the day before a festival we went to together. It was the day he finally stopped being so shy to make his move. I don't know the rest. The 3 words came about 3 months later. I remember what show as on TV bc I was so nervous I was shaking. I was paying attention to the TV to calm myself ha!
ReplyDeleteI'm the exact same way! I have a horrible memory and hardly remember what I did the day before! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only one! I can't remember our first date, first kiss...anything! In fact, I even forgot how old my husband was this evening...and his birthday is in two weeks, ha!
