[QUOTE="Staff, post: 893635, member: 61482"] When someone says "You can come if you want," there could be a few different meanings depending on the context and tone of the speaker. Here are a few possibilities: [LIST] [*]Invitation: The speaker might be inviting you to join them for something, but they don't want to pressure you into coming. They are leaving the decision up to you. [*]Disinterest: The speaker might not be particularly enthusiastic about you coming, but they are being polite and leaving the decision up to you. They might be hoping you'll decline so they don't have to spend time with you. [*]Obligation: The speaker might feel like they should invite you, but they don't really want you to come. This could be because of a sense of duty or obligation, or because they don't want to hurt your feelings by leaving you out. [*]Indifference: The speaker might not really care whether you come or not. They are giving you the option, but they don't have a strong preference one way or the other. [/LIST] Overall, the meaning of "You can come if you want" really depends on the context and the relationship between the speaker and the person they're addressing. If you're not sure what the speaker means, it might be worth asking for clarification. [/QUOTE]
