Do you remember significant dates?

I have had a bunch of people on facebook recently it seems talking about how they went on their first date with their now-husband on this date x many years ago or how they first met their SO three years ago on this date.

HTF do you remember that?? I have no idea the exact date we met, went on a first date. I don't even remember when we got engaged. I have an idea, but IDK the exact date.

Re: Do you remember significant dates?

  • I remember dates really well. As in, I remember people from middle/high school's birthdays. DH and I used the day of our first date as our dating anniversary so I can remember it. I don't remember the date we were engaged though.

  • I remember that our first date was 6/21/06. Closed on our house 3/21/07, engaged 3/21/08, married 3/21/09.

    The date of the 21st seems to be a constant with us.

  • LB, you obviously don't adore your DH as much as your FB friends do theirs.

    Obviously, but is it less than everyone here too?
  • I vaguely remember months, but not actual dates.  I still have to think about our anniversary date (day/month/year) and DS's whole birthday date too.
  • I can remember seasons. Like we met in the fall of 2004 because I was campaigning for Student Government. And we got engaged in winter of 2007/2008 because it was after college graduation. No dates though except wedding anniversary.

  • I don't remember when our first date was.  I remember we started "going out" on January 29, 2002.  We were engaged on Christmas 2007 and were married on October 11, 2008.

    I know both of our birthdays but I can't tell you when we first kissed or whatever.  I'm fine with it too.

  • I actually thought of you when I posted that status. I've always remembered dates. I know we met in October and he asked me to be his gf (we totally had that cheesy moment) in November. I've used that date in usernames (nest name included) since I was 17. It's a habit. It makes it hard to forget.

    Ha! That's how many people I've seen doing it -- I didn't even remember you had.

  • I remember the date he asked me to be his gf, but only because it was 10/10. I remember the date we got engaged, but that's because it was NYE. I also remember the date we first slept together, but that's because it was the day after 4th of July.

    I think if these things had happened on more random dates, I probably wouldn't remember.

  • Since I don't really find it important to remember that stuff, I certainly don't. I can say that we went on our first date sometime in June, since that's when they always have the conference where we met, and that we first said we loved each other sometime in September because that's when his friends always come to Disney. But exactly when? pff, no. And if I said, "hey, it's the day of our first date!" he'd just go, ha!, so there's no point in making the effort :)

    I don't have trouble with our engagement date because it's Pearl Harbor day and I always make an effort to call my grandfather on that day to thank him for his service. Otherwise I'd probably forget that too.

  • yes, i remember every date...  i can tell you my parents engagement date, my sister and her husbands, distant relatives birthdays, etc. i think it goes along with the fact that numbers just stick in my mind.

  • I remember the day I met STBXH, our first day, engagement date, etc.

  • I remember the day he first asked me out because it was Cino de Mayo. I don't remember the date of that actual date though. I would probably remember our engagement date on my own, but my mom made a picture collage thing that's by our bedroom w/pics we took of us in Savannah that weekend & at the bottom it says The Proposal 12-13-08 so that makes it even easier. All of the other stuff...I love you, moving in together, first house etc, I have no clue.

  • I do remember some dates, not all - I remember when we started dating, got engaged, found out I was pregnant. I don't remember the exact date of when we said I love you or our first kiss.  I'm surprised I remember some of them, I have an awful memory.

    Lol! No, silly. I remember the date he asked me out because it was Cinco de Mayo, but I don't remember the date of the actual date we went on because it was a few days after he asked. Maybe 3-4 days? I don't remember. :) I see how what I wrote could have been read that way though.
