What date is her real birthday ??

[David5o]

Nik,

If you know her Gregorian birthday as it seems she does, then you use that birthday date. When all said and done, this is the actual date of her birth!!! I really don't understand the fascination of all this lunar stuff, it's a load of twaddle and does nothing but confuse the issue, ....so just forget the twaddle and stick with the international recognised system that Everyone knows and understands!!!!

Or, .....stick to the birthday that you stated, but only ONCE!! On the Gregorian calendar.....

Actually, I may be wrong but chnlove appear to be showing the ladies ages as Westerners would calculate them. Not that I was complaining about the previous system - I found out my girl was a year younger than I expected :icon_cheesygrin:.

Ok, so I finally figured ity out after she explained it to me on the phone (slowly haha!)

1) On her ID card they put her (first) lunar birth date by mistake - birthday 1
2) Her lunar birth date changes every year - birthday 2
3) Her western birth date - birthday 3

I advised her she is getting presents on just one of them !:icon_twisted:

1) You'd be surprised how often this happens.  Usually from the smaller cities.
2) lunar birth date changes every year?  Do you mean it shifts on the western calendar?
3) That makes sense.

Just wondering.  How did she take the news?

I enjoy doing it twice. But according to her, her birthday is the 10th day of the 9th month on the lunar calendar. This is when she has always celebrated it. But my family would never understand why her birthday keeps changing on the Gregorian calendar each year, so they send cards and presents on September 10th Gregorian, and this is what her immigration papers say. Why not celebrate it twice?

Ronan,

on the first two birthdays give here a card saying Happy Birthday Honey ( to be continued)
and give her the present on the third one

My thoughts would be never pass up an opportunity to treat her special.  If she wants 10 birthdays; find a way to make each one unique.  Ronan, this is simply a way to show her how much you love and appreciate her.  Nothing more.  Don't make it an issue.

Thats a great idea Ted, I'll do just that, thanks.

[ttwjr32]

thanks always glad to help ronan
 looking forward to your return. sneak in
 a day early and we will go get drunk hahahahahap.s. ronan,

thanks for the addition on your part to adding to my reputation.
for the longest time i only had a one and that was from Willy when
he couldnt find any viagra here in china and he was going bloody mad
hahahaha

I agree with Shaun; in fact I would go even further.  If you truly love someone you will treat her as if every day is her birthday.  Words and thoughts expressed as love give more happiness and pleasure than gifts or presents.  And what could be more romantically pleasing than leaving a different flower under her pillow every day, when you are with her, with a note saying "I love you".:heart:

Happy New Year Everyone!

At least you can celebrate her unbirthday on every other day :icon_cheesygrin: - I know call me mad :fi_lone_ranger: hatter

[David5o]

Why do you need a Birthday or any other excuse to be able to give or show her love!!!

Getting back to Birthdays, ...What's the problem with sticking to the birth date that's been used for all her official papers like passport etc??  I really can't see the point of having multiple birthdays.
Personally, ....given the choice, i'd rather have a single birthday every other year!!  haha!!
