Most people on this thread aren't saying OP should disregard things that matter to her. It's not the fact that OP wants to be with someone who will celebrate her on her birthday that's the issue, it's that she's not telling the poor guy this and expects him to somehow magically know by reading her mind because she won't use her words to just say it - even when he raises her birthday in conversation. That's the ridiculous trap-setting expectation everyone's annoyed at OP about.

OP, if what you really mean is you want to be with someone who also by nature thinks birthdays are a big deal like you do, rather than someone who might be more than happy to make sure your birthday is acknowledged because you tell them it's important to you but doesn't intrinsically attach the same importance to birthdays you do, then say so. Because what we've got here right now is failure to communicate.[/quote]

I saw that she did tell him birthdays are important to her. Otherwise I would agree with you, but she was clear enough. [/quote]
