Have any of you heard this?
« on: August 22, 2005, 09:53:25 PM »
For the past three years my lady has often said to me, usually at the end of a phone conversation or a face to face meeting, "Don't forget about me." Now one time, when she was angry she did say, "Forget about me." I know what she is telling me but I always tell her, "How can I forget you. I have known you for so long." Have any of you guys been told this? I'm curious about the phrase because I wonder that if I should marry her if she will keep telling me not to forget her. I think what I am asking is this a common phrasology?

Like the sticking of the tongue I am always looking for those little body languages or phrases that are not common to my experience with AW. Are there other phrases or body signals that you guys are noticing or hearing?

ha-ha-ha:D How long will you pay attention to ALL what females tell you ?

It's common phrase here ( at least). Russians do tell many "compliments" but we forget all unlpesant phrases we said to each other rather fast. Though if such "habbit" annoys you badly you should think about how this women fits you, because I don't think she would change too cardinaly after marriage. And there are an ocean women here who say no one :rude" word to men:D

The habbit does not annoy me, I rather like it. I wondered about it's meaning because this is the only source that I hear it from. For example, Elen, would a RW say "Don't forget about" to her mother, father, or children? To her husband? To her friends? Of is this a phrase for her boyfriends?

Usialy that can be said to to friends, to children (grown ones), to husbands on long time parting 

But not to parents because everybody knows parents never forget their kids

PeeWee,
She said, 'Forget about me'?  Why? I'd take that as 'Get Lost!' Am I wrong?  

When 'L' went on vacation, She wrote: 'Do not forget about me.'
A couple of weeks later, I used the same expression with her, but I was NOT going away, so she asked me why I said it.
Like  Elen stated, if you are not going to communicate for a while, the sentence is appropriate, otherwise it isn't used.
...I could be wrong.
Always saying 'Don't forget about me', is very unlike AW. :)

Well...whe she said "forget about me" I took the hint and  I did. I did not speak to her for over a year. I even got another RW in the meantime. One day, out of the blue she called me. I was suprised to hear from her. In fact I was suprised that she had even kept my phone number because she was dating another guy during that one year as was I dating the other RW. We had a nice chat. At the end of the chat she asked me if I would call her the next day. I did. Then the next and the next. We reestablihed our once dead relationship, it was her idea to do it. Since then we have met twice. Once in the US and once in Russia. I do know that I hear this phrase from her often. More so since she told me to forget about her and I did. LOL!!

That's funny. I understand now. If she says 'Don't forget about' me a lot NOW, it's to keep you together forever.

I kid you not, it was not so funny at the time but now I laugh about it. She was mad at me but I won't say why. So she says, "Forget about me." She had been a bit much to handle at the time anyway and she had another guy on the string and I figured she was playing us against one another. I wasn't going to get involved in a competition with some clown who I knew nothing about. It could have been costly, money wise, for me. So I said, OK, and did.

About a 9 months passes and, as I said, I get the call. I asked her about the fellow and she told me that she was not happy with him and made it sound like he was on his way out. So I thought as long as she made the effort to recontact with me that I now had the upper hand and since I did I could better handle her arrogant ways. Our relationship got underway again and eventually the other guy disappeared and we went on. She keeps trying to gain control, and sometimes does, but I knock her back and take over again. But she is a tough one to stay on top of. I don't know if that is because she is Russian or because she is a controlling type. In a way I think it was good for her to pay for some of my expenses while I visited her in Moscow. It is something that she is not used to doing but, in my case, she was willing to do.

We will see. Some how, in my dumb American approach, and believe me I do make mistakes right and left, I mean how could anyone be so stupid as to forget to get her mom flowers? I manage to surive it. With that said I have not spoken to her since I left Moscow. No telling what my status is come Wednesday. LOL!!!
