Today, I took my "girlfriend" to a nice restaurant to celebrate our first month anniversary, only to find out she didn't even know we're dating, but only "friends who have sex sometimes." FML

First month anniversary? Is that a thing now? An anniversary is yearly.

A first month anniversary? Really? Okay let me break it down for you- sex does not constitute a relationship. Relationships don't constitute sex. When you have any sort of partnership with anyone it's important that you specifically speak with them about what it is you want.

Did you explicitly discuss if you were in a relationship? If not, YDI ... rule one of any successful relationship (and avoidance of most FMLs ... talk!)

Wow, really .. half my comment got cut off. I was saying that you need to talk

This is why they say that communication is key in a relationship, or non-relationship, as the case may be.

It took a month to clear that up? I think you guys need to work on your communication skills :/

Now you're the one who looks crazy. How did she not know if you have an exact day a month from then?

How does that make her a *****? Unless he was paying her for sex, she is not a *****.

I had the same problem. The guy I thought I was dating, who does everything a boyfriend does, made me a nice dinner because I've been a great "friend"

One month anniversary? Hilarious.

That's why the relationship should be clear. Don't make assumptions
