text: boyfriend forgets birthday? been with my boyfriend for about 3 yrs now. he said to me tonight "i'm having a male moment. when is your birthday? i know it's this week, right?"i tortured him for a bit and had some fun with it, and finally told him yes, he was right, it is thursday. but....secretly i am crushed. how could he not remember my birthday??does that mean i dont mean that much to him? you should know by now, how dense we men are at those things. sad to say it's one of our many failings. at least he didn't forget the birthday entirely, just the actual date,  so it could have been worse. and you do mean  a lot to him, he did remember the week of your birthday, and called you to make sure, he got the right date. if he didn't care for you, would he have even bothered to ask. men can remember who won the world series, in 1902  or whatever year, but birthday's anniversaries, etc, just don't stick. sadly as i said, that is just a guy thing. so cut him some slack for forgetting the actual day, and making sure, he didn't miss it all together.  i'm sure he'll get you a great gift and give you a great night to go along with it.
