Answer 1

This solved the problem.

Date today=new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy");
Date birthday = sdf.parse("03-10-18");
if(sdf.format(today).equals(sdf.format(birthday))){
System.out.println("Happy birthday to you!!<3");
}

Much more simple :D
Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Since Date is actually a timestamp, the hours/minutes/seconds will affect your result.

Another way may be to implement a Comparator to only consider the year/month/day and return 0 for a match (read up on the documentation for Comparator)
I think the getYear methods etc of Date are deprecated, and you should use the Calendar class. (This also may be an avenue to explore)
These are just suggestions as formatting them into strings and comparing is just fine
