miss b 07-06-2005, 10:52 PM Ok...I think my age must be catching up with me. My y/m remembers everything about our first encounters and I cant recall anything :)
He knows the date that he sent me the first online hello.
I remember that I had been out on a date with a guy and just wanted to check my email. I dont have a clue what day it was.
He remembers the exact number of days that we chatted prior to meeting in person.
To me it was a couple of weeks or so.
He remembers the day we met in person as friends.
I remember the location and what I wore.
He remembers the date of our first official date.
I remember him eating a bunch of chicken wings.
He knows the date of our first kiss.
I just remember that it was good.
He knows the date of our first sexual encounter.
I remember thinking for him to be so young he knows what he's dong.
He remembers the date that he moved in.
I remember the month and the fact that he wanted too much closet space, but thats about it.
He says that I'm just not a Date person. I say that I cant spare the brain space for stuff like that :)
What do you guys think :)
Chad Stieger 07-06-2005, 11:48 PM I'm not good with dates either. My family has to remind me three times about vacation on june 23. Yikes.
Memory is a funny thing to. My dad asked me if we played a version of tag called shark tag. Sadly I didn't. :(
Charlotte 07-07-2005, 12:11 AM haha I don't think it's your age.
I remember a lot of our significant milestones by the calendar but he can't even remember how old his mother is or when my birthday is. He can't remember the dates I visiited him before or basically anything that isn't on a sticky note on his lamp.
Some people are just not a mental calendar. Thats why the doctor offices make those annoying confirmation calls and I always get confused thinking that they want to make a change or something...they're used to people not writing things down or remembering the dates.
It's a very common thing!
Btw, at least you remembered the kiss was good even if you don't remember the dd/mm/yy! :p

Oh miss b I love this, it is so cute!! LOL :D
I think your boyfriend is right, you're just not a date person. It certainly isn't age since my own kids can't remember certain dates!!
I can usually remember specific dates dealing with things that interest me, but any other date I'm admittedly lousy. My boyfriend and I have 3 anniversaries and we both remember them. We have the date that we first met online; the day we met in person, and the day we began living together. I always remember those.
If you wanna know my opinion, I think you remembered the more important aspects of the encounters/situations/whatever! :p
whiterose 07-07-2005, 06:37 AM It sounds like you just have trouble remember the date, but at least you remember the more important parts... the details.
Lemme share with you a funny story... Dan_Shues might remember this..
About a year ago, I was going through my media files in my computer and I came across this HUGE file of songs. There were so many songs on it, I lost count. None of them would play. In fact, each time I tried to play one of them, my computer locked up. Well, I noticed that most of the artists names were romanian (my b/f is romanian).
Well, I didn't remember a thing about my b/f sending me this playlist. So, my first assumption was that somehow it was a virus that had been passed to my computer from an internet cafe computer he would have used.
In a panic, I called upon Dan_Shues, our techno guru here at ageless. He couldn't figure it out. So, I contacted my son and asked him if at anytime, he ever downloaded romanian music. He said, "LOL, no!"
Finally, one night, when talking to my b/f, I mentioned this strange music file on my computer with all these songs that wouldn't play and would lock up my computer. He said, "Honey, don't you remember? When you and I first started talking, you asked me once what type of music I listen to and I sent you this list of songs, but it was only a list of their titles. I didn't send the actual songs."
DOH!!! I felt so stupid. It still took me a long time before I finally remembered that. It really made me feel like my age difference stood out at that moment.
miss b 07-07-2005, 08:47 AM Whewwww....Its good to know that other people have these date mis-haps too.
Lynn...you mentioned that you guys have three anniversaries, thats exactly what got us to talking about my problems with dates. He remembers all of them...the first chat, the meeting in person, the moving in together date. At first I felt bad, these are important dates to me, but for some reason I just cant recall the actual dates. Guess I'll miss out on some anniversary gifts then :)
My mid-year resolution is to use my planner more :)
whiterose 07-07-2005, 10:33 AM Another suggestion Missb, is to use the calendar in your computer, if you have one. For example, I have on in AOL and can input various dates and set it to send me a reminder at a designated point in time before the event. So, ex., if I wanted a reminder about an anniversary that occurs on July 7th, I could set it to send me an email reminder a day before, week before, whatever I want.
Between that and my PDA, it really helps me keep track of important upcoming dates.
Chatterbox 07-07-2005, 10:51 AM Good suggestion, Whiterose - and something I REALLY need! When it comes to dates, my mind is a sieve and the dates are water!
On the subject of memory, I know my memory is failing, so have started a "memories" folder in Microsoft. Anything I can think of, I guess at the date and write it down.
Another subject about memory: Everyone knows that it would be great if our parents had kept a journal about us, but most parents are just too busy, so to my friends that have children, I suggest that they leave a pack of 3x5 index cards on the back of their toilet and just jot down the date and whatever cute/weird/funny/poignant thing their child(ren) said or did that day. (Even if your children are grown - do it anyway!)
Miss b, I think it's just tooooo precious that your YM remembers all these dates! Don't worry about not remembering the dates, as Whiterose said, you remember the feelings! Maybe the two of you should make a journal together, listing both the dates AND what you both were feeling!
Thanks for sharing, Miss b. I got a big smile from it and now I look like this :D !
miss b 07-07-2005, 06:08 PM Thanks for the input folks.
I got out my planner today and I now see why I cant remember anything. I hadnt wrote anything in it since April :o
So today I'm using the planner agian. If this does not help, I'll dust off that PDA and give it another try before it becomes a garage sale item.
