Question: if one is in a casual relationship, how important is it to remember/celebrate monthly anniversaries? Put another way, what's the forum's opinion of x-month anniversaries?
It depends entirely on how you and your partner feel about it. For instance, my girlfriend and I have been together for over 7 years, and we're not even sure exactly when our anniversary is. We've never celebrated it, nor given a shit.
With all due respect, friend, this is your first relationship. I'm not making assumptions about the quality of it or how serious it is, but I think after only 3 days the phrase "future years" is a little much.
The only time that it's become relevant to Kasha and I was when we occasionally look it up, and go(at least, most recently) "Holy shit, we've been together for more than a year."
Blah, I realized that it sounded lame after I said it. But you know what I meant. Sorta.
Yeah, We did - but we're more warning you away from speaking foolishly in this case, rather than really going off on you. Just have a good time while it's still going.

That's kinda what happened today. I looked at the calendar and was like, "Whoa, it's been almost two months since I've started dating her. *checks calendar* Dude! We'll both be at MIT for our 2-month anniversary! What an astonishing coincidence!"

Depends on the person, how "casual" the relationship is, and in which direction you want the relationship to go. "Casual" doesn't mean "uncaring". Ideally "casual" mean "fun".
My suggestion: -Get them something small and sexy but not overly expensive. Wine, candle, massage oils, body chocolate. -Do something fun. That's what casual is about. -Have LOTS of sex.
She's not your traditional girly girl. The first "anime" we started watching together was actually some random Hentai, she thinks its hysterical. But She has always been up for guns, explosions, etc. A lot of our interests are very similar, I have just taken it upon myself to nurture her inner nerd and she has, more or less, dived into the culture head first. She's addicted to Y The Last Man as well as a self proclaimed SNES aficionado. She really wanted to learn how to cook. I'm rather familiar in the kitchen, so every Sunday we make a new lunch, dinner, and dessert from scratch.

My advice, fuck the anniversaries and do this every single time you feel like it, don't wait for the excuse to do something nice for your partner. Anniversaries are stupid.
I'm meeting my boyfriend currently, a long distance relationship which is temporarily short distance. I'm having way more fun than I thought I would ever have. I've gotten over so much shyness and awkwardness. I'm sad he's leaving on Tuesday though. I never thought I would reach this point of my life so early after giving up in high school because no one wanted a geek like me. I am very happy. ^_______^

Congratulations Joe! I'm glad it's made you so happy!
Maybe now that you've gotten over your shyness you'll be able to talk to us in front of your roommate...

I might do something special for our one-month, but that will also be a Christmas gift. It just works out better if I give it to her then.
Where it is now heading:
My suggestion:
-Get them something small and sexy but not overly expensive. Wine, candle, massage oils, body chocolate.
-Do something fun. That's what casual is about.
-Have LOTS of sex.
