One month anniversary...

So Saturday is the girl and I's one month. We haven't been able to do a lot lately because I've been working and out of town a bit, so I'm going to use this as an opportunity to make it up to her. When she opens the door I am going to give her a bouquet of flowers, then walk her to the car. She once said she enjoyed historic downtown, so I am planning a pic-nic at a small park directly in the heart of downtown. After that I am taking her to the beach to go for a nice walk, then she loves the movie "Big Daddy", so I got it and figured we cold go back to my house to watch it before I take her home. She is always telling me about how all of her exs were jerks and never treat her her right, so I want to show her I'm not like the others. What do you guys think?

Yeah, she's excited about it, so I planned something kind of big. It seems retarded and I could agree, but I don't want to disappoint her.

Dude, do what makes you and your lady happy!

If you had come on here with some extravagant stuff planned, including an expensive gift, then I would have gotten on your case because its only a month. But if you feel inside that you want to treat a girl special for a day, then that lil something special that you have planned is good!

Stay like that...maybe you won't wind up with a sob story like some of these other guys...have fun!

Thanks man, I agree an expensive gift would have been too much, so I figured I would do some of her favorite things with her. I think she will be more appreciative of this than a gift, I mean anyone can go buy something.

I was just thinking the same thing. Who the fuck celebrates a 1 month anniversary? Make sure you give her a stuffed animal along with a note that says would you like to go out on a date with me.. circle yes no or maybe.

Lol...I know, I would never do that. Maybe he in training for the one year thing. But if a dude is doing something positive for his girl, I gotta support it. Especially since it doesn't hit him in the pockets for this "one month".

Don't do this shit every month though OP...else I will definitely see you on here in a "I gave her everything she wanted and she still fucked that other dude" thread...go slow big boy!

I think you're playing into her idealized beta-male provider role perfectly.

She had exs who were jerks but they probably made her wet. Something that you feel you can't accomplish without a one month anniversary full of picnics and illusory tender moments.

I'm sure she'll reward your behavior with positive sentiment. However I wouldn't expect your anniversary date to be as sexually rewarding as say getting drunk and bending her over your kitchen counter.

I just had the 6 month. I think six month and 1 year are the only one's that should be celebrated in the first year. Then it becomes a yearly thing.

Calm down, it's only 1 month. Don't use all your ideas now.

But, you know your girl and relationship better than all of us so if it feels right, go for it

What did you do for 2 weeks? You have to do something more positive than that.

Do the flowers, dinner or take-out and the movie - tops. Save the picnic and historic downtown for some other time(s). You want to show her that you're paying attention to what she likes, but don't want to go over the top all at once.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

PS, don't forget to leave some time open for her to show her gratitude

Unless, making a month with guy is an accomplishment for her?

One month anniversary?!?!?!

Why?

Even "if" you celebrate this....why set the "bar" so high by doing so much for so little this early in the relationship?

He'll have to confirm.

I had a buddy and at SOI and his girlfriend (who he met freshmen year of college, left school after that year) wasn't allowed to come down and see him on weekend libo because she "got a c..." in college.

That relationship was a disaster for myriad of other reasons, but hey, it happens.

As far as the one month anniversary, I didn't do anything (I guess I could sort of consider the graduation gift part of that, but not really). That was the day we left so that entire month we more or less spent together as school was winding down. 6 month I sent a card and called her (nothing else I could do), and still have a few months to worry about the 1 year.

Doing something nice should honestly be enough. If it isn't, shes too high maintenance IMO.

Mike

SS is right, forgot to mention that, oops. Sex is not in the picture, she's not like that and I'm fine with that. Haven't been able to do much so kinda going big on this, she won't expect it every time, she knows that we are going to do something big because we havn't been able to do much lately.

By "not like that" do you mean she refuses to perform the art of "dick takery?"

I think a month is long enough to wait, anything more and this will turn into "waiting till marriage to kiss..."
