Tomorrow, I've been dating Hunky Actor Boyfriend for 6 months. Or if you count from our first date, then it was last week, and I missed it. Tomorrow marks 6 months of exclusivity. Which is crazy considering we'd been dating a week and a half. I look at my calendar, and I scold myself for being a little stupid. Or I admire myself for being a little brave.
I wonder what he was thinking when he so quickly asked if we could just date each other. I'd actually canceled a date on the Sunday before to see him instead. I was so fallen.
And here we are. At 6 months.
I'm not sure he's particularly counting or from when. And, I don't know, I used to know how these things worked, but I have no clue anymore. Six months seems like a nice time for a sweet, little gesture, but we do those types of things all the time. Plus, we're writing tonight - and I can't see a way to make his regular cup of coffee any more special when neither of us particularly wants to be eating any sweets. And then I don't see him until Sunday.
We're in our 30s - Maybe 6-month anniversaries are best left to high schoolers and undergrads?
Oh Blogosphere! Have you any wisdom for me?
Well, K from Down and Out In (Paris and) London says that Six months is not very long. I love that she can't quite nail the date down either.
Tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary with Jay. Technically it isn't, but we can't actually remember when we started dating seriously so this is six months from the day that we had our first date at Cafe Kick where we drank lots of gin and tonics and talked about which books we liked...
So, as a sort of semi-anniversary we're doing the dinner thing, but then we're going to see Transformers. It's not like he and I don't spend quality time together most of the time, so why force it? We'll eat some food, drink some wine and then watch the alien robots wage war on Planet Earth in a last attempt to either protect or destroy the universe.
Well, this is a quality suggestion. And although we're not going to the movies tonight, since writing together is one of the things I love about Hunky Actor Boyfriend, I suppose it's a good way to spend an evening. Perhaps I'll write him a haiku.
Speaking of a good way to spend time, Noe from Off The Record asks, What's the best thing about the Oltorf street reconstruction??? Why, his pretend boyfriend, of course! (With pics!)
Seeing this guy every morning on my way to work. He doesn't know it but we've been dating since July. Somtimes he get's a bit controlling and I can be pretty dismissive but we're working through it. In January we're taking a vacation to celebrate the New Year, and our six month anniversary.
From the light-hearted to the sublime: Ann from For the Long Run offers The Secret to a Happy Marriage, and I love her winding tale of doing things all your own way and messy-like.
Peter and I celebrate two anniversaries each year- our real wedding and our sham wedding. But then we've never really taken the normal relationship route. After my visit in Ireland in 1994, the bulk of our getting to know each other and falling in love happened in email, IRC, and Unix chat sessions. We moved in together before we had our first date. When I couldn't find legal and gainful employment in Dublin, we spent 14 months apart.
But back to six month anniversaries... Here's an avalanche of those drive-you-crazy posts because How How How are they there already?
Shelley from Viper's World writes, oh, to be cholately - "tomorrow is our six month anniversary of dating and just over 4 months to the wedding..."
Jennifer shares the Song of my Life - "We may not have known what we were doing, getting engaged after only two months of dating, but the Lord knew exactly what he was orchestrating."
And AR or TK (can't tell which) from Our Story So Far writes, Catching up - "Our six month anniversary of meeting each other, celebrated in our new home."
OK, that's enough of THAT. Geez, I was thinking maybe a new mix CD.
How about you? Got any six-month anniversary tales for me?
