I think almost every guy has dated at least one girl obsessed with remembering every possible anniversary someone might care about. These can include everything from first met, first date, first kiss, first ice cream, first fight, first first, first et cetera. To all those girls out there, guys tend to feel there are more important things to remember such as how to park a car. These are just relationship differences people for which people need to learn to adjust. One solution is to have the guy park the car while the girl gets all excited about their anniversary for the first car accident. The nice part about this one is the girl can also rave about their anniversary for the first time the guy let the girl drive.
However, one of my more preferred solutions is to get all depressed when the girl forgets the exponential month anniversary. In case a reader is wondering what that anniversary is, the formula is as follows:
<start_date> + 2^(<NPEMA>) * 1 month
In this formula, <start_date> is when you started dating and <NPEMA> stands for number of previous exponential month aniversaries. So anniversaries would take place 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 8 months, 1 year 4 months, 2 years 8 months, … into the relationship. This has two benefits. Most women who try to remember every anniversary will fail to calculate the next one, and the anniversary occurs less frequently over the years so it is less of a hassle for the guy.
Be forewarned, this can backfire. The girl may just care about anniversaries enough to ask you to calculate when the next one is so she does not miss it. The girl may know how to calculate it herself which means you are really in trouble. She may also be exceptionally clever and respond with “I was just waiting to see if you would remember it!” This last one is very bad news because it means she most likely already has contingency plans for almost every trick up your sleeve. In other words, GET OUT NOW!
