I had missed a couple of dates with my girlfriend, when I suppose to pick her up and going out with her. I was too busy at the moment, and I forget to call to tell her that. When I called again, she didn't pick up the phone. After a couple times of tries, she finally answer my call, and scolded me for what I did. I suppose jot everything down on a small pocketbook to remind myself everything. Have you missed any of dates with him or her?

Yes, everybody makes mistakes, but your significant other SHOULD have been ticked. I am sorry, but I would be personally insulted at you myself. My wife would say something on the order of, "If it was important enough to you--if I were important enough to you--you would have remembered." That would have been our last date, needless to say. I believe she is a person who values herself enough as an individual. As a parent of a daughter--if I get one--I plan to teach her--"Look for a man who values you as much as I do. Don't settle." A man who really values a woman will value the time he spends with her enough that he will not forget a date, an anniversary, or anything else. I am glad your lady is as forgiving as she is. Things like dates don't slip your mind if they are important to you. There is no excuse. Next time, if she's important enough to you, write it down. Put it on a calendar, that's what I do. Don't learn the hard way. And there is a danger of being so "busy" that you forget the important things--like relationships.

Amen angusthethird! Hahaha. It could be that I only agree with this sentiment because I am a woman, but if my boyfriend forgot to pick me up when we had made plans I would have been angry too. I would feel that I play second fiddle to everything else in his life, which I am not okay with. Chances are, she got all dolled up to go on that date with you, and then ended up spending the night in. We all make mistakes, and I'm glad she was able to forgive you, but I hope you don't do that to her all the time. :D Cheers!

This has been an interesting read...and has helped me immensely. I have just met a man (who persued me) and I arranged to meet with him on a Saturday night for a date. I waited all day and he never called or texted. When i confronted him he said he was really busy and forgot. I was livid we have been only going out for six weeks and he forgot. I am obviously not important enough and his job is. Really hard for me to do..but no option but to let him go...i value myself i would not treat someone like that so don't expect to be treated like that!

So far I havent forgot any dates with my boyfriend and so does he. To avoid such things set alarms for important dates an hour before so you wont forget it.

you are going to lose your girlfriend, silly! You can't do that to girlfriends or even just friends. People hate slotting someone into their time and then have the person not bother to show up. it is insulting and a waste of their time. Their time is valuable too. I don't do that for guys. I will give them one chance ...maybe two but after that...I don't even set up times with them. If I am home...fine...if not..oh well and that is how it is. You should be so excited to be spending time with her that you would not forget. She is still giving you a chance? you better be cherishing this girl....she is very tolerant.
