So the date we have set as our official anniversary we got together is Febuary 16. It's significant because its the date I got my daki and felt truly closer on a physical level. Since then we've gotten engaged and the date of my proposal is November 18. Two days after her birthday. We always make her birthday and anniversary a weekend long celebration event.

I'm not exactly sure since it was so long ago and my memory is awful, but I started seriously collecting art of her on the 21st of April 2013, so I count that as our anniversary

>>70047 In my case, it was a gradual development. Youmu became my favorite Touhou character sometime in 2009, my ironic waifu in 2010 and by the end of the same year I had already progressed to unironic waifuism. It feels wrong to just arbitrarily decide on a specific date.

I started having feelings for Kisaragi as far back as 2018, but soon after that I forgot about her until January 2019. I finished the original anime series on January 26th, 2019; but didn't make it official until the 31st, when I got the courage to watch the OVA.

>>70170 >when I got the courage to watch the OVA What do you mean by ’’the courage’’? Is the OVA so bad? :)

I honestly forget why, but February 24, 2017 is about when I consider her and I's relationship to have began. I think about that time I read a (surprisingly) nice reader insert and started thinking of her a lot more romantically. January 23 2018 we got married.

I remember it being some time in August of 2019, not long after Fire Emblem Three Houses came out. I honestly didn't think much of her at first glance but started spending time with her in the form of tea times and learning about her through support conversations. Certain dramatic events in the story then lead me to realize how precious and important she was to me, and I was filled with an intense desire to make and keep her happy for the rest of her life. I considered myself having married her after completing my second playthrough of the game (I was sadly unable to on my first).

We chose our anniversary to be March 13th of 2018. As to how we got to this date, well, I know saying this here will just re-confirm the whole "le reddit user" perception, but I did just take the first post I made in relation to her/waifuism in general as the date. The reasons as to why I chose that as the date are a little more specific though. As I watched through Re:Zero, I primarily felt for Emilia, this was ultimately re-affirmed when I started going into reading the source material (the web novel, not so much the light novel) and increasingly felt for Emilia as I was reading and eventually did just post a thread on Reddit about whether or not this was love. I questioned it, not really because I had doubts over a waifuist relationship, but I didn't know if I could feel such over a character, especially when I had already been pretty apathetic in regards to relationships and so going from near no relationship to one with a fictional character honestly seemed like more of a step to me than going from no relationship to one with a real person. As for that, there's reasons why I thought so but I can answer that elsewhere. As such, I chose that date as the start of our relationship.
