YAGT: Not sure what to do for our 1 year coming up

[chimmytime]

Don't do anything, or else she'll expect it every year.

You're not married. It's not really an anniversary unless you are so I say go out drinking with your buddies FTW.

 

[AdamSnow]

well, unless you convince me otherwise

Why would you take advice on that from a bunch of people on an Internet Message board that dont know either of you?

-- Anyway... for your one year like someone else said... try to make a baby or something 🙂

Lola's suggestion + send her flowers at work. Girls love getting flowers at work. 🙂 Just watch out, she might be thinking you're going to propose by the end of the evening, that's a pretty romantic itinerary there.

just do a nice dinner type thing. you dont want to go all out now because:

A) its only a year. a long time, but a drop in the bucket if she is THE girl.
B) you dont want to waste all your good ideas/plans too early. there will be many more occasions, and you want your gifts and tokens to be fresh for as long as possible. blow your wad in the beginning, and its just that much harder in the long run. save the good stuff for the really big ones (10yrs, birthday milestones, etc), or for the surprises for when shes feeling bad or tired and needs a great pick-me-up.

good luck!

edit: i always miss the first r in surprise.

i vote for getting dressed up and going to dinner at a nice place. maybe a walk around an artsy type place if your city has one. we have a place that does a gallery hop type thing once a month. i think its more important not so much what you do, but more that you planned it and put effort forth in it in addition to making the time to do something together. if money for a nice place is an issue, picnic that you both put together is a good one.

for me and my gf(nearly 2yrs) going out to dinner at a nice place and then hanging out afterwards just the two of us is what we've done before. we're both exceedingly low key though and it fits us just right

me and my gf just hit one year the other day. It went nothing like we planned. I had a motorcycle club meeting at noon that was supposed to last an hour. It went on until 2pm. After that, we went to her gf's house for her son's 3rd b'day. We hate some hamburgers and stayed until after 5pm watching him open presents. After that, I took her out on the motorcycle and she rode it for an hour. We then got some ice cream and rented a movie. That was our anniversary day 🙂 I had a great time, but I think she had a lot more in mind. We're both 22 btw.
