I'm undecided on this. This summer t told me that she almost texted me on my birthday but then decided it wouldn't be professional. (this was the first year she even mentioned my birthday) I wished she had at first, but I had a good day without hearing from her, so was able to feel good just knowing that she'd thought about me. Really the only reason I expect anyone that's not family to remember my birthday anyway is because it's on a popular holiday here in the US, July 4. Hopefully by next summer I'll forget that she thought about texting me this year. Maybe by then this insane level of attachment I'm feeling right now will be over.

I still wish I knew when her bday is. I've never asked because I don't think she'd tell me.
