What would you do?
| I just woke up and I had this weirdly disturbing dream. Put yourself into this position and answer accordingly. You've been in love with a person for 10 years but you've never had the courage to ask them out. You've known each other in elementary and high school and were close but not friends. Both of you go to the same college/uni now and the first time you bump into them, they seem like they remember you, so you confront them. Them: Hey! I just noticed you! You: You know who I am, right? Them: Yeah, you're xxx. By the way, do you want to go out with me? (xxx being someone else's name completely) Under this circumstance, would you still say yes even if they thought you were someone else? I mean, after you correct them. In my dream, I ended up rejecting him on the get go and then getting sad over it because the dream turned out to be war propaganda and he lost all his memories. The end. Discuss and share mistaken stories. |

Mischievous said: Decline,of course. It's not like such releationship could last. Or rather,more likely it would not. Well, you could start out new with them, I guess. See where things go from there. It's just a bit sad that you're so insignificant in their life that they'd mistake you for someone else. |
| I would say no, and then I would take him to Spec Savers. |

But you would lie about your identity,which would not be exactly a good start to your releationship and it would get out rather soon, since your crush would want to ask the person out,the crush would know the other person rather well. |
| No because this kind of relationships ends up nowhere and eventually both concerned parties will go through the obligatory emotional shenaigans |

Hello3245 said: Same class for all of elementary, sat near you, same athletic team, same clubs. :/ Just not friends.How can you be "close" but not friends? Someone that has known for you 10 years wouldn't get your name wrong, acquaintance or not. This dream just doesn't make sense, lol. And as for me, I've changed a lot to my appearance since graduating high school so it makes sense he would not recognize me. |
| As hurtful as it would be for someone to get your name wrong in that situation, I believe that they still deserve a chance. Go out on a date or two with them and see how it goes. |
 |
| Well... It REALLY depends on if they just forgot your name or completely thought you were someone else. Regardless, they have an interest in you on a superficial level if they're asking you out. I'd say just try and kindly correct them, and give them a chance. Not everything works out, but it is usually worth giving it a shot. |
| "No. You don't even know my name properly." As sad as that is, I would still give him a chance if he wants to get to know ME and not the person he thought I was. |

I don't think it's sad to be ok with that. People forget names and faces all the time, some people are worse at this then others. I'm horrible at remembering peoples names, even people I see fairly regularly. It makes me feel horrible when I forget. I agree with what you said about letting the person get to know YOU. That's what's improtant |

I could never love a girl who I'm not in a relationship with for so long, that's just silly. |
| I don't see how they could mistake someone for someone else entirely. I mean, unless you look like identical twins, it seems impossible that the person would mistake you for the person they supposedly have a crush on. They would have to be pretty dense. I think taking it was a situation where they just happen to call you the wrong name seems more realistic. |

Protagonist looks really good looking now 2. Person mistakes them for other good looking person whom they have no feelings for 3. Person asks protagonist out because why not? |
mayukachan said: I'm assuming it like this: 1. Protagonist looks really good looking now 2. Person mistakes them for other good looking person whom they have no feelings for 3. Person asks protagonist out because why not? So they are pretty much just an idiot looking for a date. Well, I suppose if you could still find that person appealing after that, it's still worth going on a date or two with them to see how it goes. It's not like they had feelings for another person or anything. I'd personally be irritated and question why I ever liked them to begin with, so there wouldn't be any hard feelings. I would just dislike them. |

Usagi said: Same, lol. I'd be hurt but I think I'd end up agreeing.I'd personally be irritated and question why I ever liked them to begin with, so there wouldn't be any hard feelings. I would just dislike them. |
| I'd probably accept just for the fun |
| I've been here way too long... |
| No, you don't even know my name. I have standards. Depends though. |
| I wonder if twin girls growing up legitimatly have this discussion. Like stay away from my boyfriend or something. I might do it. |

| i love these threads and how ridiculous they are, or just aimed at women not only its ridiculous to have someone you liked 10 years ago ask you out but its even more ridiculous and unrealistic to actually be busy and unavailable and have another spouse at the moment won't even bother granting this fantasy an answer because its unrealistic |

| no i had to make it known, in case it wasn't to some people |
| lots of music - |
| I would say no. I love sex and romance, but I need the girl to desire me. If she mistakes me for someone else, then she doesn't desire me and it's no fun. It's also dishonest and I value honesty. |

| No relationship can be based on a lie Decline |
| I'd feel a momentary pain in my heart then resolve myself to make them remember me more through even more spontaneous romantic gestures. |
 I love Christine "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau |
| I'd be honest to them and tell them that I'm not xxx at that point they might not be interested anymore but if they are i would give them a chance especially since i also would have to get to know them and see if we are even compadible with each other |
| A world where I go to elementary school, High-School, and college in the same town and like 1 girl for 10 years sounds horrible. I would probably decline and apply out of that area. |
 |
| Happened once, I correct her and choose to decline. |
 |
| Decline. |
 |
| I repe them. |
