This was probably the only instance that didn't leave me feeling weirded out/stalked.

Second time was an ex, it was one of those situations where I think he was trying to get me to swoon over the romanticism of him driving cross-country to surprise me in an effort to get me back (why, I have no idea, we had nothing in common), but considering I was really done with him I wasn't so amused.

Third time it was a guy who I was friends with and he left to go to a school on the East Coast; I assume his thought process was something like the ex's where I think he thought that if he drove out and surprised me, he'd get points and I'd suddenly want to date him. Unfortunately for him, since I had no idea that he was even coming (I didn't even really think we were that close, tbh) I didn't even have time for him - I was scheduled pretty much nonstop at my job that weekend. He ended up throwing a fit on my doorstep and my poor roommate had to deal with him =(

I had one other guy offer to drive from Boston to Ohio once to "comfort" me after a recent breakup he'd found out about, but he at least had the brains to ask and I said no.

Reading that, I come off kind of cold hearted, don't I? Oh well...
