the one u love turning up....

how would u react if totally unexpectedly the one u love turns up at ur door after taking a very long journey and they've never done it before? but bearing in mind that u've decided to stop contacting them cos u think it's in their best interest. would u be angry if they turned up? would u tell them to go back home? or would u be over the moon that they've made the effort just to c u?!

thoughts pls!!

they'd be over the moon- it just shows how much you care, and also the surprise will make them forget all the carefully planned, but possibly unpleasant things that they were going to say to you.
Flattered, they are doing something to really show they care, and that they do want you ,despite you thinking it's in their best interest not to. :smile: Wow i'd love it if someone did that for me, and definately would never turn them away whatever my reason for not wanting to see them anymore x

aww thx...i feel abit more confident about actually doing it now. i don't want to seem out of my mind and i'm abit worried bout their reaction and wot to say when i'm asked 'wot r u doing here?!' lol.
do u think i should go this weekend or after exams in a couple of weeks?!
If the person Ive loved more than anyone else in the world came to my door, I'd be very surprised. We've spent the past two years avoiding each other because of a complicated love triangle (which then became a love square)
We are becoming friends again now, but not to the extent that he'd be at my door.
First, I'd assume he was there to see someone else in my house, as they vaugely know him, but if he told me he was there to see me, I'd be surprised, delighted, and overwelmed. I have very intense feelings about him and our joint past, so I'd probably get quite shaky and faint. I'd offer him a drink, bring him in, and be nervous and apprehensive about what he wanted, but excited, and hopeful too.
I get the same worries about calling on people unannounced. It's actually something I have a phobia of, nothing I can think of a name for other than "being where Im not supposed to be". Ive never found anyone who shares it. It's a sort of fear of being somewhere without an invite, a heightend sense of territory and politness. I used to hide behind the sofa when my mum put alice in wonderland on the tv because she goes to the mad hatters tea party uninvited. The bit where they discover her and tell her off for gatecrashing made me terrified, even as a toddler. So yes, I understand its scary to call on someone unannounced.

omg.......yeah this is a love traingle/square too!! still think i should go ahead?
Well when Samwise, Merry & Pippin go back to the Shire they are welcomed, but only after destroying the evil that Saruman and Wormtongue have created.

There's a metaphor for life!

I think so. Its hard to say what reception you''ll get without knowing the whole story and the people involved, but you cant know til you try, and most girls would welcome such a romantic gesture.

If I were you I would go ahead with it, other wise you might regret it. So am I assuming that basically you and this person have ended but you want to see them again?
I was in a long-distance relationship and after he told me he didnt love me anymore and it wasn't working out, i foolishly booked a ticket to see him to work things out. But then I text him to say I was on my way and he basically said "dont bother".
Anyway, enough about me! I reckon if you do go, while it is best to wait until after your exams - if you're constantly thinking about seein this person, its gonna stay on your mind.. so maybe go this weekend! Why not?!
Hope things work out x

it depends entirely on whether I meant what I said.

If I told you not to see me anymore, and you turned up, then I'd be pretty irritated.

However, if I was *only saying that* as a gesture to show that I think it's better for you if you're not with me, and you ignored me and still loved me and wanted to carry on, I'd probably be chuffed, deep down.

now the question is -why did they say it, and did they mean it?


nope, we saw each other on sunday but there were too many people around and we never got to speak. when i didn't turn up the sunday before, i was told how disappointed they were to have missed me. i know for a fact that it's 'i think its better for u if u're not with me' cos this has been going on for a while. i know neither of our feelings have changed........but i'm just worried i'll get chucked out and rejected.

Go for it :biggrin: maybe after exams would be better though, so you can concentrate on exams for now.

I wonder why they think it's better for *you*. How peculiar.

If they missed you, I doubt you'd be popped out on your bum ^_^ - g'luck


lol.......its really complicated. it is actually better for me to never go back and move on.........but i'm in love and especially knowing the feeling is mutual......i refuse to just let this go.......even though there are other ppl involved :redface: i know it may sound stupid and i've seen and experienced wot it has done to me before but........i'm not giving up on this!

As long as you're sure thats the case then I think you should go ahead and see him... but nothing will hurt you more than if its just been a cowardly excuse to dump you and you end up not being welcomed :frown:
I hope it does work out though, if this person realy means a lot to you, you should definitely have a try at seeing them!
