Should you celebrate a 6-month anniversary?

[PsychedelicZebra]

When in a new relationship with somebody, should you celebrate your 6-month anniversary (go somewhere special or give a gift), or is there no such thing / it's not worth celebrating?

How would you celebrate or why not celebrate?

It depends on the girl if you want to celebrate or not. Like me, I'm not the kind of person who is super into presents and stuff and I may be busy on that particular day. So if my boyfriend said something like happy 6 months and we watched a movie and cuddled, that would be more than enough for me because I'd be surprised he would even count (I myself would have to put a reminder in my phone to wish him happy birthday).

If your girl likes dates on the town, maybe take her on one. If she likes jewelry, buy her a little something. I would celebrate by doing something I would normally do, but making sure to wish them a happy 6 months. I wouldn't make a huge deal out of it regardless.

I would not, as I am of the opinion that it is absurd and meaningless, the same with any anniversary be it two weeks or fifty years. Why? Because I view anniversary's as a celebration rejoicing the fact that, holy f***, we've actually lasted this long. It’s a f***ing miracle. To me, it’s just asking a relationship to fail.

Oh I suppose it's just how excited you are. My boyfriend and I celebrated our 1-6 month anniversary cause we just wanted any reason to be even more excited I suppose :P lol but really it's up to you, how you feel about the relationship, how she feels about the relationship etc.

I suppose it deepens how romantic you are as a couple...how serious you guys are...and how close you've grown.

Taking it steady and seeing each other once in a while isn't really cause to celebrate me thinks.

I would not spend to much money personally as it is still very early days for your relationship.

Well, it ALL DEPENDS. If it'deep emotional relationship, every posssible occasion should be celebrated. IF it's not so emotional having such a celebration might be of-putting to people, so tread lightly. I'd say more often than not such a celebration might be over the top...

good take thanks

It depends on how you are as a couple really. Ask him if he fancies going for a meal, but I wouldn't draw attention to a 6 month anniversary. Personally, I think counting months makes your relationship seem a little young - I used to count months with boyfriends when I was in my teens but not now. Do what you think is right.

thanks for your take on it

i'd wait for a year before any of that, 6 months isn't long enough for me.

[PsychedelicZebra]

that's what I was thinking, then started wondering if I should go ahead and get some romance points

The idea of celebrating anniversaries other than one year ones is retarded to me.
