the one where i get the award for worst girlfriend EVER

this is so insanely horrendous that i'm almost to embarrassed to write this. but it's also so insanely hilarious that i couldn't not post it.

i had just come back from lunch with the bf. i was getting some tea and preparing myself for my next client when i here the secretary calling me to the desk saying something about a special delivery for me.

and i'm all, "special delivery...whhaaaa?"

and i arrive to see a bucket of flowers, a bear and a card. i open to find...

love,
the bf

cue me standing in the front office all confused like. and then of course everyone in the office, clients included, wanted to know who they were from and why i got them. and i'm all "the bf?? it's our anniversary??"

now. before you start thinking that i really am the world's worst girlfriend, let me give you some background information.

for those keeping score, the bf and i first starting talking and hanging november 2008. the more we hung out the more we started acting like boyfriend and girlfriend. i'm not one to ever initiate having that "are we boyfriend/girlfriend?, does he like me or is this a friends with benefits type of situation?" talk with boys that i like. in fact, i hate having that conversation. i guess he felt the same way, because he never brought it up either.

i was comfortable with how things were going so i never felt like i had to ask him about our label. he had done so many other things for me up until this point that i knew he cared about me a lot. and we had been spending so much time together that i knew he wasn't seeing anyone else.

after getting some beef from a friend of mine (who had just finished reading "he's just not that into at the time) who kept asking me about our label situation and saying that he's not asking me to be his girlfriend because he's JUST THAT THAT INTO YOU! i got really insecure and upset.

so, true to form, i took my crazy ass self over to his house and demanded to know if i could be called his girlfriend. his response?

"i thought you already were?"

and that was the end of that conversation. i guess i should have paid more attention to that date, because that's now my official anniversary. i was always under the impression that our anniversary was around november and i swear i've had talks with him about that. but mostly i tell people we officially began dating in january because that's when we first kissed and started really acting like boyfriend and girlfriend.

needless to say, we both had a good laugh about this whole thing. thankfully he understands our situation and wasn't upset or anything. however, i do feel bad (because who doesn't know when their anniversary is!!??!) and promised to make it up to him with whatever he wants.

and to end, some texts between the bf and i right after i received his gift -

me: did you just send flowers to my office?
the bf: maybe. is there a card?
me: yes. but i'm a little confused?
the bf: ok, isn't it our one year of dating?
the bf: or did i think of a wrong girlfriend. haha
me: .....
me: not funny.
the bf: i'm kidding of course!
