bluella Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hi everyone, My boyfriend and I have been together three years and we've both started our Years Abroad so we're LD for a year. He's studying at a uni in Bonn, Germany, I'm in Istanbul. I've just booked tickets to fly over there (in secret) in about a month and a half, I'll be arriving around 3 in the afternoon. What I basically wanted to know is whether you have any exciting ideas for how I can reveal I'm coming/have come (do I tell him before or just turn up), and any other exciting ideas for how to surprise him! Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks I would just show up in surprise. (I have always daydreamed of going to my SO's house very early morning and just crawling in bed with him so when he wakes up I am there) Hope your bf likes surprises. Can I ask why in secret? its romantic, but when you get there what if hes not home? Link to post Share on other sites
aerogurl87 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Just make sure you show up at a time where he's not about to go do something like go to work or class if he's in school. Link to post Share on other sites
Author bluella Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 I know, I'm a tad worried about that too, but I'm planning on trying to get a friend at the same uni on board in order to prevent him being away! He will only have been there a month by the time I arrive, and he's quite shy, so even if he is out, I think it's unlikely he'll be far away. Plus I know the area quite well, so if I have to wander about Bonn for a couple of hours, I don't mind Why do I want it to be a surprise? Well, he always surprises me, whereas I'm awful at keeping things secret, so I think he'll be really touched by the amount of self-control I'll have put in keeping it quiet(!), but mainly because I know how hard it is waiting to be together again. When it's far off, you can't afford to get too excited so it's easier, but when you know it's coming up it's even harder. I don't want him to have to go through the agonising wait that I am. Plus I just want to do a big gesture to show him how precious he is to me... But if anyone has any ideas about when to tell him (the day I leave? the day before? or just turn up) please say!

Romance Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I'd tell him ahead of time. I feel like a surprise could be a bad idea just because he could end up having a major test that monday or something, so an advanced warning is always pleasant and he'd still be just as excited!

aerogurl87 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I did something like this for my ex on his birthday when we were in a LDR. He came to visit me and had to leave about 2 days before his birthday. So when it came time for him to leave instead of me being all sad, I just said "bye see you in two days". Haha that brought a shock to his face. So yeah maybe tell him a few days before you leave. Link to post Share on other sites
Omei Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 But if anyone has any ideas about when to tell him (the day I leave? the day before? or just turn up) please say! I like the getting a friend to plan it with to make sure he isn't away and then showing up is a good idea. I also think having a friend in on knowing about it is a good idea too I don't know why but it makes you look less random? not that, that's bad but so you don't have to wonder for 2 hours if hes not there lol Link to post Share on other sites

Author bluella Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 That's AMAZING! He would love that Yeah, since I got to Turkey my plan had been to spend the time I now will spend visiting him visiting relatives in another city, so I was thinking about asking him to be online for a certain time to have a last chat before I head off for a week without internet... but really I'll be organising it to be at about the exact time that I arrive... SO EXCITED! Link to post Share on other sites
Author bluella Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 43 days to go I just spoke to him online and he revealed he would really like a proper surprise (massive hint or what?!) so if anyone has any particularly cool ideas on how to make the surprise super special, I'd love to hear. I was considering some sort of treasure hunt thing... Link to post Share on other sites
