Geez, so much harshness. You don't know a thing about me or her so how can you say with certainty that its gonna fail? So you've had a rough go of it, so have I. Big deal. But yet I'm whipped if I want to do a little something to show I care more than just acknowledging her presence. Obviously I came to the wrong place.

Anyways, I agree.. make sure she feels the same way at this time. Theres nothing like being in the fourth quarter with seconds to left, but the other person still in the locker room getting dressed.... understand?? Now, thats not to say that you may feel MORE for her than she does you... and that is natural. But if you think she will go for you in away that is more beyond "first date love" then just tell her how you feel.... good things can happen, and bad things too. . You may find out how deep down she feels about you.. could be more or less than you relized.
I celebrated our 1 month aniversary, 6 month, 1 year, then 2 year, then 3 year... and so on. I've been with my GF for almost 4 years. Now I didn't drop the "L" bomb on her for a few months. It takes time to really know its love. When you jump in too quickly, you may regret you didn't take a few moments to make sure there weren't rocks in the pond. 
So what did I do on my 1 month aniverasry.... well, I made her dinner (homemade fettuchini alredo, salad, ambroshia, homemade bread with cinnamon butter, and steamed baby pea pods) and I suprised by taking her to a park and having a picnic. Bought her a small bouquet of flowers (not roses.. to early for roses) and then went out and saw a movie. Very nice time. Ofcourse, you won't be with her.. but she can always take a rain check Anywyas, get her a card, right how you feel, and a bouquet of carnations or spring blend and a teddy bear (total cost, about 25 bucks) and give it to her in a box and tell her to open it on Friday. SHe'll love it, she'll dig you more, and all will be awesome. Props on the anniversary.
I was just gonna say something like that. IMO that's the best advice you can get right there.

Go see some strippers then tell her you had a crappy time without her
One month time is when you start asking if she wants to try it IDB

I don't even know where to begin.
Celebrating 1 month anniverseries are like counting your first pubic hairs: It's stupid and disgusting.
I've done it, regretted it, and would do it differently in hindsight and I'm sure others here would agree.
Wait for the 1 year mark before spending your money that can be much better used towards your car..... Or better yet get a bike. The return on investment is much higher.
I mean if the fu(king DIVORCE rate is 50%, imagine what the relationship-ending rate must be. Be picky, be choosy, and be patient.
We don't have to understand you, we just know that every situation is the same.

meh, I've celebrated with out actually "celebrating". all I did was take her out for a dinner then we went bowling and played arcade. then I just droped "hey we've been dating for a month  "... but I dint' go all sappy. differet strokes for different folks. but I do agree, not to get TO indeep, as one month is nothing. thats still sooo early and fresh. the only time that I feel something is deserved celebration is annual. but again thats just my opinion

You're welcome. Good luck with your girlie. IMHO, your not whipped.. you've just found a girl who's a little bit more important in your eyes. Divorce is high and so is relationship turmoil, but they are for reasons other than what you are doing. Show her a good time (not in the way that sounds), ofourse, women (the good kind) don't look for THAT in the early or even mid stages of a relationship. They want to see that you care and think about her a lot. They want to feel like you sound trumpets when she walks in the room, or that you throw doves in the air as she walks away from you. EVERY girl wants that, whether they admit it or not. They are really seraching for the "shining night in armor." Now, we don't usually go that far, or when we do, don't always mean it to the full extent, I mean.... we are guys. We get distracted EASILY. We say "uh-huh" and "okay honey" and "right" to most of her questions. It's our nature to be bad listerners, lol. Now, ofcourse I don't suggest taking up horn lessons or buying some white birdies, but I can tell... atleast from where you and I stand on viewing relationships, you know deep down what to do.
Hey Honkey..
Y'know... the "strip club thing" and the "it wasn't fun cause you weren't there thing".... I've heard that too works well, strangely . Women love to know that you idelize them and put them on a "pedastile" high above the rest.... in any situation or with any other female.

I celebrated a one month anniversary with my girlfriend in high school.  We have been happily married for 12 years now. I guess I'm an exception.

It's so funny you can tell the average age of CEGer's by their relationship posts. 1 month anniversery?! You have got to be kidding me. Even when I was a younger lad and head over heals I don't think I did anything for someone I had been seeing for FOUR WEEKS!

honestly, dont waste your money on a one month anniversary. Just the fact that you remembered it was your one month will probably be enough. I probably wouldnt do anything until maybe like 3 months.
