what "is" is:

> Also, insert Clintonian definition of "sex" here.

hey, if someone wants to measure their anniversary from "first blowjob", I'm fine with that. they can choose the "first time we had sex" or "other".

I have no clue. We are coming up on 6 months...but when? I think I'll let him decide.

bzzt! bad chicagoan!

Unless ALA was in march this year, CP day can't be your anniversary.

But I figured the only people to mark that will be Chicagoans.

I think for me it always depends on the situation. With FL and I we got to know each other so much via email before we even met in person, that I wasn't sure if I wanted to claim our first email encounter, or our first meeting. I knew more about him before we met, than I had with first dates of most boyfriends.

Man, this internet thing screws with traditions!

we both promised each other initially it "wouldn't get serious", so when we admitted that promise was broken is when we celebrate. coincidentally enough, this date is Jan 1st. EASY TO RECALL.

I might need to change my answer, as I was going by "in general", not specifically by my current relationship.

In general I think those are all valid milestones, and I go by which one came first. Generally it would be the first date for me, unless of course we kissed/sexxed before an actual going out for dinner and drinks or whatever. In my current case, we were really good friends for a long time, then I told her I wanted it to be more. We kissed (and such) after that but before we went out on the town again, though going out wasn't all that different from when we used to as friends.

All of my dating situations have been bizarre; in the current one we mark the anniversary from the crazy weekend we spent together but did not sleep together or kiss during, because it involved a "date" which was only recognized as a date in retrospect.

I think I am living inside a French movie.

Neither of us is into celebrating, but we consider New Year's Eve our defacto anniversary, since it was the date we officially became a couple when we first dated. Since we more or less eased into this round, there's no exact date. And I've never been in another relationship over a year, so I have nothing to compare it to.
