one month seems rather insignificant to me, i wouldn't be bothered by it. most lads wouldn't. it depends on him i guess, if you think you should do something or don't know what he'll expect, then just talk to him about it. say something like "i can't believe we've been going out nearly a whole month already" and start talking about the date of the 'anniversary' but don't be obsessed, it's hardly a huge milestone. he won't be that bothered.
ask him what he thinks about it, and find out whether he thinks it's a big deal or not. don't be pissed at him if he's not that bothered, it's nothing really, a month. i mean if you wana go on a date on the day of the month-mark that's fine, but don't be expecting any big presents every month or whatever cos it's not worth it.
it might be nice to be sentimental, but there's no need to make a big deal over it, it's noreal big occasion.

it also depends on how you are with each other, if you're one of those annoyingly irritating clingy couples that are obsessed with each other then you'll probably be over the moon, but if you're a cool couple that just hang out and get along well and just enjoy eachother's presence, that sort of thing then there's no point throwing a party over a month of being together.

oh and the photo-poem thing is waaaay overboard. don't do it. you'll freak him out!

Dont even mention it. No point, 1 Month is nothing. LOL
If you do it will make it seem like it's been ages and love will fade. :P

phew. i cooled my reply down a LOT. i thought everyone was gona be like "awww how cute...a whole month, you should get him a huge prezzie and write a poem" and i was gona be slated for saying that.
glad you two think it's as insignificant as i do.

then again, no girls have replied yet lol

I'm with them. One month really isn't a big deal.


One year, I can understand, but not one month. If a guy bought me a present for a one monther I'd be concerned.

Yeah i agree. One month is nothing. no offence. Sorry to burst ya bubble ma deary.

I know this may seem harsh for me to say, but if you think about it, you're not really that close when it's been only one month, it's still sort of the trial period because you're trying new waters and finding things out about each other that perhaps you might not know, you're going out and enjoying being with one another, but it's not got serious yet. There's a higher chance that you could split up at this stage too (sorry. But that's not the main point I am trying to achieve) whereas if you hacve been together a year, you have had many memorable times together and have probably seen a lot more of each other htan you will have done in this stage. You will have seen a side of that person that you wouldn't be able to at one month. A year is more of an achievement because it shows you are committed, it shows you are devoted to this person and were able to devote yourself completely to this other person.

One month on the other hand is just the start. I wouldn't go buying him anything for it, I know I didn't on my first month with going out with my boyfriend, hell I was in London the day of our 'one month anniversary'. Just because you don't buy them something EVERY month anniversary, doesn't mean they're going to think less of you or love you any less. PLus, it means you have to spend more money and put more time and effort into getting/making him something :)
