s/o dating anniversary
Do you really still celebrate your dating anniversary after you are married?
DH and I never did celebrate a dating anniversary, so maybe I am biased. To be honest, I don't even have a particular date that I consider our dating anniversary. Does this make me a weirdo?
I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
Re: s/o dating anniversary
Ohhh Muddled, can you predict the future? Tomorrow night we're celebrating our first date! It was really January 30th, but having margaritas on Monday night sounds like a bad idea. Plus our first date was on a Friday! We kept meeting up for weeks before our first date in our apartment gym, so technically, that was the first time we "went out" outside of the gym.
I'm not sure whether we'll still celebrate once we're married, but hey it's a night that's special to me at least so it'll be hard to forget.
This is exactly why we don't have a dating anniversary.

Nah, I don't think it makes you weird at all.
Our first date was the first Friday in February, so about 6 months in I looked back at the calendar for the exact day, and we are just kind of ridiculous people and make sappy eyes at each other every month on that day. I told him I know it's probably weird to call the first date our anniversary, but I was off the market by the end of the first date, and he was all, I was off the market before we ever went on the date (we have a long, ridiculous back story). Heh. Once it's been a year though I don't think we'll be quite as ridiculous.
If we get married, then no, I don't think we'll continue to celebrate a dating anniversary.
ummm no...
Nah.
Our first date was actually H's birthday, so we just celebrate his birthday. He didn't tell me it was his birthday until a few days after. I was a little bummed... I would have embarrassed the schit out of him all night long.
Oh, and we got married exactly one year after H proposed (11/10/06 engaged, 11/10/07 married).
And just to throw in more weirdness... our first date was along a river (waterfront restaurant with a deck out over the water), got engaged on the shores of the Chesapeake bay in MD, got married on a beach of the Pacific Ocean, and had DS in a hospital butted up on the shore of the same river where we had our first date.
Apparently we have a thing with water and shared anniversary dates.

I don't know my dating anniversary with BF. We went out on either a Tuesday or Wednesday. I think. It definitely wasn't a Thursday. Hmmm.
We started "officially" dating around mid-February, so we use Valentine's Day as our dating anniversary.
We don't do gifts, but we like to go out and enjoy ourselves.
I feel the same way, we were together for five years before we got married, so 8 years total on Feb 21st. I feel like those years were harder work than the married ones, I put effort into those years, they have to count somehow!
We normally go out to dinner. No presents or anything. We also celebrate the anniversary of the first time we had sex. Honestly, we look for any reason to celebrate. We'll celebrate the full moon just because it's there.
We celebrated the date that we met by getting married, so that took care of that problem. I remembered the date because we met at my best friend's birthday party.
I have no idea even what month we made it official in.

We don't purposely celebrate it, but our first date was at a county fair and we go to that fair every year. Since the fair is only around for a little over a week and at the same time each year, the odds are pretty good that we will go either on or close to our dating anniversary. We do speak of our first date when we go. We had a good time, so why not?
