Relationship: 6 months

[K/H_Addict]

Okay, so, if you read my "Hard work...?" thread, i mentioned this thread.

My 6 month "anniversary" is the 28th. I have 45 dollars to work with. My beliefs are that the only mars worth celebrating are divisible by 6. 2-5 months: whoop-dee-doo. 7-11 months: hoopl'lah!

Well, my g/f doesnt like that, so i want to do something special for her, but the only thing i can think of is dinner and a movie.

i was going to take her to see PotC:DMC, but she went and saw it today. I was going to take her to see Click, be she went and saw it last week. I was going to take her and see Cars, but she went to see that a few weeks ago. Obviously, surprising her with a movie isn't going to work. What are your suggestions?

PS: Neither of us drive yet, so keep that in mind...

[Oprime]

Cook her dinner and buy her flowers.

You'll be a god, for 'bout a week :wink: .....

Seriously though, women just wanna know you put a little effort into something, it goes a long way.

[Havokscry]

what did you do on your first date?

[K/H_Addict]

well, if you want to be technical, our first real date was like 2 weeks ago, and hr mom payed for it. We went to see Scary Movie 4. Otherwise, we always hang out to my house, or her house. Thats why i want to do something special for her this time.

Ah, teenage love... Yeah, I have a vague memory of caring about monthly relationship anniversaries when I was in high school.

A trinity of roses (red for passion, yellow for friendship, white for purity), a card (or something you wrote if you are inclined), and from there you are on your own. I don't know enough about your girl to help.

[K/H_Addict]

well, if you ever talk to me about this realtionship one-on-one, i'm sure you'll hear me say how much the two of us are sure that this was meant to be. Too much detail for this topic, but w/e.

I was coming home from target today, and got to thinking about it. Our 6 month is on a friday, so we proably wont see much of each other that day, since she has to babysit her siblings, and both our parents work. What i was thinking was having a dozen red carnations (possibly roses; i think carnations last longer) along with a poem i want to write (thats going to be the challenge) delivered to her house that morning around 10 or so. I'm still up for suggestions, and unless i get any other good ideas i like, this is what i'm going to do.

Give her a nice hand made letter written on stationary. Fold it into a paper airplane and then put a picture of you two together in the middle fold so it looks like it is in the cockpit. Hand it to her and tell her that you feel like your relationship is just taking off and you're excited about where it is going. You don't have to go all out for every little milestone, just the acknowledgement is usually more than enough.

[K/H_Addict]

thats a very interesting idea, GB. i can't tell if you were trying to be serious or not though, so i think i'll stick with my idea.

[Grungebob]

No I was being serious. Women (most people in general) value creativity and personal attention more than common traditional robotic approaches. It is rarely necessary to spend alot of money when you care enough about a person to put forth the effort to be attentive. The only time you need the big bucks is when you are going to plop down a bunch of cash on a ring!!! 8O

[K/H_Addict]

if hit with inspiration, i can be quite creative. one idea i had was to make a locket of somekind out of wood, but that would be super difficult, because i dont want it to be too big, but i cant make it but so small, and then we moved, so i no longer have a space to work in, until we get the garage built, so that will have to wait until later.

[Grungebob]

Well, I think you might be making too big a deal out of "6" months. Just keep it simple and personal. Acknowledge it and be sincere and heartfelt but to get expensive or to put more into it than the situation would call for could make the recipient uncomfortable. One flower would be more appropriate than a bouquet as an example.

[K/H_Addict]

excellent advice, GB. thanks a lot man!

mr. k/h_addict, just my opinion, but a 6 month anniversary is important. i had a guy really impress me back in high school during that awkward time when you can't drive and you don't have a job yet. he went all out to make it special and i'll always remember it. his family owned a farm and he didn't have a lot of money and i think he was a little embarassed by it. our date had all the cliche things, but it was how he presented them and all the thought that went into it that made it so memorable. if you want, i can tell you all about it. you can tailor it to fit your circumstances/budget. this is valuable intel on the female species! my advice, you better make her feel special or you might be all alone on your 7th month anniversary. girls keep score :wink:

TF, i'll shoot you a PM, unless you want to post your story in the thread

For our first wedding anniversary, I took my wife out to one of the nicer restaurants in Richmond, Virginia where we were living. After the meal, when she pulled out a cigarette (we smoked back in those days), I suavely reached across the candle-lit table to light her smoke. In doing so, I very cleverly set fire to the sleeve of my suit coat. So, K/H, you might want to consider setting fire to some of your clothes or something. We certainly never forgot that evening. In fact, in September we'll be celebrating our thirty-fifth anniversary. Maybe I'll set fire to my trousers this time!

[K/H_Addict]

congrats on 35 years, Rev! hope it goes well, even with burning shorts!

i stil think im going to go with my idea, but instead of 12, im going to do 6 (1 for each month).

[DoesntCompute]

I have found that something like the 3 roses mentioned above are better than buying a standard dozen whatever. The key to making the 3 flowers work is to have a reason. Hand them to her and while she is still looking at them in your hand, tell her, "The red is because we met around Valentines, the yellow..." Personalize it to your relationship and it will mean more to her than anything else you can do and especially anything you can buy.

As far as a date idea, make a CD of her favorite romantic music. If you don't know what her favorite romantic music is, just make a CD of some romantic music and it will become her favorite when you are done. Take her someplace outdoors that is romantic (have a CD player in a bag) and play the CD while the two of you dance. When the date is over, give her the CD for her to remember the night.

I think your six flower idea is good. You should run with the "6" theme. maybe write 6 things you like about her on six small hand drawn cards, six flowers, six of her favorite chocolate candies, coupons for six back massages...

Just take care not to do the 6's in 3's ;)

O, and if your earlier comment about feeling that you two were made for each other is even close to being true, don't fret too much about the details, but do make efforts, and circumstance will aid you :)

Walking and talking is easy to budget and will go far for people in love...

[Grungebob]

Ice cream is always a good bet for young ones in love. I know I still get enjoyment from watching my wife lick a single scoop cone!! :hump: :drool:

[ultradoug]

pervert.

Anytime I want to make my GF happy, wether it be for a special occassion or for no reason at all I do my best to make everything about her.

I like to make sure I keep track of what she's into at the moment. A mental list if you will of all things HER. When something like this comes up I try to gear a gift or a situation towards that thing/s.

A couple of months ago she was feeling down, she didn't have any time to do anything that she wanted (too much work and babysitting) so I got someone to take over her babysitting on one of her days off, washed all of her clothes and made sure she didn't have anything she needed to do (errands). When she woke up I presented her with KH2 (w/ strategy guide) and some breakfast. She was so happy it nearly brought a tear to her eye. She thumbed through her KH2 strategy guide while eating her food with a big smile.

Do what you can to make her smile, and like so many others have said put some EFFORT into it. She will appreciate what you do no matter what it is, :D

[K/H_Addict]

your GF likes KH2? Lucky. Mine does too, but she denies it. She refuses to tell me straight up that she enjoyed it. oh well, i'm the same way about Family Guy.

@ Grungebob: well, since i am a guy, i to enjoy the images of her licking stuff, but she likes to watch me too, so that may or may not be a good idea, since we are both minors...

[Gambit]

K/H, thats not what i meant, just because i live near san francisco dosnt mean im gay, because im not, anyway i cant even remember what i meant anymore so it doesnt matter.............whatever

[K/H_Addict]

you confuse me, Gambit. go away!


:lol:

ARRRRG!

I used to make cards for my wife when we were going out back in '86. She still has them. I made a card for just about every occasion until she told me they were getting too cheesy. She now regrets that comment now that we have been married for almost 17 years!!

I actually wrote a kid's book for her complete with illustrations. It's something I could see getting published at some point. It was the peak of my creativity, and it got me my best friend I have today.

Seriously, money only goes so far. If you put an effort into something creative, that gets a nice reaction. I think GB's idea with the plane is a great idea if you aren't artistically inclined.

[markwars]

Give her the shocker.

[K/H_Addict]

lmao.............

well, im talking to her on the phone right now, and that made me laugh, because i'll do the hand signal and it pisses her off, and i laugh, and i thought it was ironic that it came up in this thread, and she was like whats so funy and i was lik enothing, and she was lik why are you laughing and i was like cuz it was funny and she was liek what was and i was lik do not worry about it. go make your grilled cheese before it burns and she's like oh ok

[markwars]

Sorry, I couldn't resist. 8)
