Is this kinda dumb?

Yep, I think so. Unless you are in high school or junior high, then I say go for it.Not being a wiseass, just giving my opinion.

Ok opinion taken, so if that is dumb then what do I do...lets keep this clean

Poopy will probably suggest "bakeware" as a gift since he's very familiar with that I say go ahead and make him a card... so what if it's a little silly or goofy... it's a cute and personal way to show him how you feel.or you could... oh, just read the keep it clean part... just kidding!Have fun!

I say it depends on the guy and the relationship, which among us, only you can judge.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 3:50 am

ATHF is freakin awesome!!! I have dvd sets 1-3, asking for 4 for christmas.Yes I agree with joatmon, it depends on how your relationship is going and if its serious. If its serious then id make a card, hell i did that for my gf freshman year of college, i drew her cards and pictures. if its just a casual relationship then just give him a hug/kiss and be like 2 months yah!

BigMac · Post by **BigMac** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 4:16 am

I'm sure he'd be happy to get a card. Just don't make him think you expected him to remember or do something special. I wouldn't even put "2 month aniv." in the card. Simply make something nice, and when you give it, say "it's been 2 months... and I thought I'd give you this"

Ah, I can hear Sonny James singin' it now:"Young love, first love,Filled with true devotion,Young love, our love,We share with deep emotion."Well, generally speaking, if your boyfriend is the sensitive type (like, he uses bakeware), give him a card. Don't sweat the handmade stuff, just write something nice.If, OTOH, he's more likely to throw bakeware for fun, I'd just mention it to him and say how wonder the past couple of months have been. Don't mention a date...some guys hate that.

I personally think it's a cool idea, but I am a female and thus can't really judge from a guy's perspective. But I think homemade cards are really sweet because they say exactly what you want, which you can sometimes find in a store bought card but you have to get really lucky.

It has always come off as a little co-dependent to me.Yeah, that is what I'm thinking. It also would kinda creep me out, but that's just me. Of course back in the day when I was stalked, that is how she was when we were going out, so I have always shyed away from that sort of stuff. But again, just my opinion/advice and everyone knows, my opinion is sometimes off the wall.

BOZACK · Post by **BOZACK** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 5:06 am

I think it depends on your ages. If your both below the age of 25 then I can see you counting the months. After 25 though it just dosn't seem that cute any more. And Poopy, nice racks. Baking racks that is.

I don't mean to sound negative, I think it's cool you are thinking of this, but if you expect to go up to him and say "do you know what today is?????" and expect him to say "It's our 2 month Anniv. Dear"............If he doesn't notice it's your 2 month anniv, don't feel bad. It's a guy thing.Congrats.!

Thanks guess he is just going to get a card that says hey your hot! lol j/k i will just make him a card.

Atomic · Post by **Atomic** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 6:45 am

Make him the card.If you really want to, that is. And don't think too hard about it either.Write what you feel, (x-rated or not) he should see it as a nice gesture, kind of romantic even, although some of us guys can be fairly dense when it comes to things like this, it's almost like its another language entirely. LOL.Just before I got married, (which seems SO long ago now) my wife to be would make all these little cards and notes and things, usually just to say she was thinking about me.I got the message eventually. She still leaves me notes, although they are not always the same as those early ones.They usually have much more negative profanity in them! (J/K)

tnpartsguy · Post by **tnpartsguy** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 7:10 am

I don't know about the card.... *shruggs* maybe just because I'm male, and the monthly annivesary is a BIT much for me...wait til the 6th month at least to make a big deal out of it....just enjoy the new romance for the time being, if it's still alive at the 6th month point, then celabrate!

BigMac · Post by **BigMac** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 8:17 am

nothing wrong with a card that says "hey you're hot!" I'm sure he'd love it.

Sputnik · Post by **Sputnik** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 8:31 am

I used to buy my boyfriend cards that were romantic for no particular reason other than to say "I love you." (okay so I'm bad - I didn't hand make them). I stopped after he said "why'd you buy this??" Hmmph, I thought the sentiment in the card said why, but whatever. He doesn't even buy me Christmas or Birthday cards, yet I still buy those for him. I should just save my money.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 6:17 pm

cards? what are those??? lol..ok, so if you're young and in love, then it's cute. hell, i used to make cards for my ex all the time... and he likewise. but if he's not really into the whole commitment thing, then that might freak him out. just my thoughts.nothing wrong with a nice, i'm thinking of you card to let him know you enjoy your time together. of course, i can't really talk too much because after mav and i were officially dating, it was less than 3 months when we decided to get married..... in 2 months after.... so.... you may not want my advice.

It has always come off as a little co-dependent to me.I am with the guys on this one, I wouldn't bring up the two month thing. You don't want him to think that all you do is sit around and count the days you two have been together. Not only is it a little to co-dependent, in my opinion, but it is also way to confining this early in a relationship.At two months of dating (unless you have known him for years before dating), you can't know how he will take the card. You might scare him off and for what, a card? I'd be VERY careful in what you do and how you proceed. I think going on a trip with him is sufficient and you should just enjoy that he is in your life and let the two month anniversary pass you all by. If he brings up the two months, then that is a different story. Although, I would wonder about a guy who is tracing the days that closely. But that's just me. These are merely my opinions.

drunkenmaxx · Post by **drunkenmaxx** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 1:22 am

im going with the general consensus here. after only 2 months (which ain't much) he might see it as overkill, and get scared away. BTW poopy, do you wear a "kiss the cook" apron when you bake? if you do, does it look like you just sat on a cake? (because of your poopy pants)

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 4:47 am

Quote, originally posted by Kari Â»...but you have to get really lucky. LOL Kari, I thought 'getting lucky' was the whole idea behind giving him the card (not to mention going away for the weekend)! Yes, Tiffany, it totally depends upon how the two of you view your relationship. IMHO, if you are 'serious', and he is 'not', then a cute card probably won't change that, but it never hurts to let him know that you enjoy being with him, and look forward to a continued relationship.If he has 'not a clue' that it's been two months, while you've been anxiously counting the days/hours/minutes/seconds until this weekend, then he'd probably rather have you hand him a cold beer while he's watching football on TV. Definitely a guy thing.Congrats, BTW. MOST of my dating relationships ended long before two months! Geek!

fortiffany · Post by **fortiffany** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 2:26 am

Well thank you. The weekend we just fine....and I ended up giving him two cds I made with some music that I like on them. I also really did not say anthing about it being two months. he really didn't say anything about it but I know that he remembered.

Jaycie685 · Post by **Jaycie685** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 2:10 pm

Ah yes, the CD with personal songs... My ex did that for me! I still have them lying around as a matter of fact.So why didn't you go with the hand-made card? That would have been a good one! I think hand-made cards are more personal and the time and effort put into it means more than anything store bought.Maybe you could do that for the three-month anniversary!I agree on the whole "it depends on the guy" thing. My ex used to give me cards and we went out to eat somewhere EVERY anniversary each month for three years! Now my current fiance is the total opposite. We have been together for 2 years and 3 months and he has still YET to give me a card! He just isn't the card type. I've hinted it to him as many ways as I can but he just doesn't catch on. Oh well. I still love him though!

fortiffany · Post by **fortiffany** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 12:44 am

Well I did not go with the card because I kinda ran out of time...getting a new computer so I can't burn cds. I had to go to my friends house to do it then ran out of time to make the card! If I am going to make a card for someone I have to take my time and make it perfect. I think you are right I will make him one for three months. He is really different he does not seem the card type or the type to be all lovie dovie but when no one is around he is. I went by him last night and he had our picture in a frame by his computer! I know that sounds funny but that's really not like him! I thought that was so cute!

I still love him though!he must be friends with my husband. lol. i get cards when i take him to the store and say, you pick one out and i'll pick one out. then i take them to the front and pay for them. lol. his family never gave cards or celebrated holidays, birthdays, etc. so this is new for him. my family is the total opposite. we didn't really celebrate the whole dating thing or anniversaries really because i'm not sure when you can even say we started dating. i say it's when we actually met over Memorial Day weekend last year. i think he says it's when we first started talking or discussing it..... but whatever. it doesn't matter really. now we celebrate our 6 mos married, then the other 6 mos married, then 1 yr married, coming up on our second 1 yr anniversary (from Christmas), and then in Feb will be 1 yr actually living together married..... that's a lot to remember, so we just celebrate the main ones and maybe say "happy anniversary" on the other odd ball ones.

fortiffany · Post by **fortiffany** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:38 pm

Well three months is not for a while yet...he is driving me crazy! Uh I just don't know what to say to him anymore. He will not tell me why he likes me at all. I said so why do you even like me? He will not answer. Urgg men are just strange....I knew this before but for some reason it's more clear to me now, lol. What do you do with someone who does not care but does at the same time?

Mr. Poopypants · Post by **Mr. Poopypants** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 8:40 pm

Kick him to the curb. That's just my opinion. If after 2.5 months he's annoying the crap out of you, think of how it will be 2.5 years later.

What do you do with someone who does not care but does at the same time? Okay, I am confused, why does it matter why he likes you? Shouldn't you just be happy that he does and move on? Stop trying to force this relationship on him and stop trying to make him say things he doesn't want to say. As for what to do with him when he cares but doesn't? Stop asking him why he likes you. Just enjoy the relationship and enjoy having him. If he doesn't care and doesn't like you, trust me when I tell you this, he will move on.Sorry to be so blunt about this, I am not trying to be hurtful or rude. I just get so frustrated with my friends and their constantly asking the men in their lives, "Do you love me? Why?" or "What do you think is so special about me?" or "If you could choose any woman in the world, why did you choose to be with me?" I have to tell you, that last one was my favorite and it really bit a friend of mine in the tush. Her bf looked at her and told her that she was right, he could have any woman in the world and walked out. She had been driving him nuts with the questions and he finally had enough. To this day he still tells me that he loved her, but he couldn't take the interrogation of their relationship.So anyhow, just enjoy having him and just assume he likes you until you have facts that say otherwise.Maybe I am the dumbest female that has lived, but I don't ask the men in my life how they feel about me. If they want to tell me, they will. I just kick back and enjoy my relationships with no pressures or expectations. Maybe it was growing up around guys and learning a little about them that made me this way. Sorry to vent, I just had to unload.

drunkenmaxx · Post by **drunkenmaxx** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 10:09 pm

he doesn't need a reason to like you. the fact that he does should make you content. do you have a life outside of him? it's really important that you do.
