Birthday Wait 

When its a Facebook 'friends' birthday and like everyone else you write happy birthday on their wall, but you wait until later that day so they can see it and it wont be buried under all the other comments.

Oh look its jacks Birthday!
I know.
Aren't you gonna say something?
Yeah but I'll do the Birthday wait so he can actually see it.
Oh...

Wait till your birthday to unwrap your gift

Or put another way, don't ask for da milk till after you buy da cow.

"Wait till your birthday to unwrap your gift" may indeed be da "proper" way of behaving, but there are several flaws with this "old school" practice, such as:
(1) Very few people are gonna actually care nowadoys whether you and your significant other "learned da ropes" before "tying da knot"; in fact, you run da risk of being eye-rollingly called a "prude" if you do indeed delay "fillin' da bucket" until da official "milking time".
(2) Da sex dat you experience before marriage is very often much more fun and satisfying than any intimacy you engage in after da wedding, when you'll likely have more cares and responsibilities to take up your time and wear you out.
(3) You won't be able to know whether intercourse with your partner will be comfortable or even significantly pleasurable till after you've committed, and therefore you might be stuck with miserable/infrequent "intimacy". If you'd "tried each other out" shortly after you'd originally met, however, you'd have discovered if you two weren't "compatible" in dat way, and thus you could each have gone to seek different partners whose personalities and/or physical attributes were more to your liking in da bedroom. It's just like buying a car --- would you sign da purchase-agreement without even taking said vehicle for a test-drive first?!
