Poll>How do you handle long distance relationships well or badly?

Very well with the right person. It takes a great deal of trust, patience and great communication on the part of both parties. Like any other kind of good relationship it takes work and if both are willing it can be wonderful.Poll%26gt;How do you handle long distance relationships well or badly?
Hi Hollywood Baby,


I thought everything was going well and then a Big Slap in My Face!!! Badly!!!


Your Friend,


poppy1Poll%26gt;How do you handle long distance relationships well or badly?
I never had a long distance relationship.
Very well actually. I buy long distance prepaid phone cards for only $5 and I can talk for 2 freaking hours!!
well I give it the proper communication.
Well .........not so well .......conditions deteriorating ......intervention advised ......
i handle it bad in the beginning but good after the 1st month
That all depends on how often we get to have sex.
Well.

What do men think of long distance relationships?

quite phew things...





because you cannot have sex at long distance:)





Not that it's bad to have sex, or bad to want it....





Women want the same sex as men, only that women want emotional sex more that's all..





maybe emotional sex is possible for a time at distance (say phew months) but get real... 99 girls out of 100 cannot wait for phew months neither:)





Long distance relationships are doomed to become friendships at most..








Hope this helps..

The Skipper, fatherlike relationship





MaryAnn, forgiving, kind, friendship
Gilligan's primary relationship was with the Skipper. Other than that, he interacted well with all of the other 5 castaways but he was closest to Mary Ann.
Skipper and Gilligan( there had to be some reason Skipper called Gilligan';little buddy';0_0)Lol, in real life I met alot of the cast:)
The Skipper because he was both fatherly and a good understanding friend to to Gilliagan and Mary Ann because she always knew the way to his heart, through hisa stomach.
He was being screwed by the skipper and maryann and on occation the profeser
with the skipper and the professor.

Mary Ann and The Skipper no doubt!!

Do u believe in long distance relationships?

ive been having connversations with few friends. they say that they dont believe in long distance relationships.


one of my friends mentioned that he broke up with his girlfriend because she lived too far.


like 2 hours away.


in my opinion i believe thats B.S.


because if u really like someone, distance shouldnt be an excuse.


what do u think?Do u believe in long distance relationships?
I believe long distance relationships can work, as long as both people are willing to make it work and that they do think that in the future they can see themselves together. I also think though that both people can't live their entire life apart, so someday they should make plans to be closer together.Do u believe in long distance relationships?
I think you can like someone and even love someone deeply, who is far away. But a relationship is built on an emotional stability- the need to physically be with your partner to feel secure about your relationship and to feel cared for. We are human, and need human contact. I sure do. A long distance relationship would be torture for me because I need to reach out and touch my partner and feel them touch me. If this person was that important to me, I would move to be closer to them.
once distance hits the relationship, time to move on. No intimacy = unable to trust the other, and no real connection for the relationship anymore. And I'm not just talking about sex. you don't have to have sex to be intimate with someone.
i think that long distance relationships are not worth it but the situation about your friends... yeah that is b.s! my sis is dating a guy who lives proabably 1 or 2 hours away from where i live and they work out just fine.
No distance, no girl so far.


I prefer to have a girl near me.


I don't believe in a distance relationships.

  • Does anyone agree that long distance relationships are a bad idea?

    if your younger..yes...


    but if your 18 and can move and such..sorta











    hannahs think alike(:Does anyone agree that long distance relationships are a bad idea?
    I don't think you can really get to know if you are compatible with a person until you have lived with them for a while. That's when you can see if your relationship can bear the weight of the real world. If the long distance relationship is building towards moving closer, then it can work like any other. If it just stays long distance, all you're really doing is making an excuse for a booty call whenever you get to the other one's town.Does anyone agree that long distance relationships are a bad idea?
    No, they can work out in some cases.


    For example, my finace and I. We met a while ago, and now we're happily engaged :)

    Why the people love talk about relationships?

    I don't like talk about that


    i never know that say, perhaps because i've never had boyfriend neither friends, in fact talk about anything the most of the times makes me blush


    is it normal? and why the people love talk about relationships?


    I'm 18Why the people love talk about relationships?
    I think, for some, its something to brag about. That you


    have someone who loves you, or your partner is


    better at this and that.





    I really don't know why I like to be in a relationship, I


    guess it just makes me know I'm wanted, needed,


    and/or desirable.Why the people love talk about relationships?
    Hey, Sweetheart, your not the only one, so don't feel like an outsider. I am not Gay, but I will never have anything against them, they are normal human beings to me, and much more understanding to feeling, than most Of us. Its hard anyway to talk about relationships, because people have so many different kinds of relationships, I don't know what it is like to be truly loved, but I dont care because I can love others around me, its a beautiful thing too blush, don't be embarrassed its very, very normal, Good God, your only 18, you have so much to learn yet, don't be ashamed of your feelings , Or Good luck+Take care xxx

    What do you think about abusive relationships- is it true love?

    If either the woman or man is emotionally/physically abusing the other spouse or lover. Can you say that the person loves the other one? Or if the abusive person is able to die for the other? Do you think they ever experienced true love or it can never happen. OR it depends on the situation? If so, can we still label it as love? Can be a bit confusing, sorry. but thanks for your opinions!What do you think about abusive relationships- is it true love?
    I Was In A Year And A Half Relationship With I Guy I Fell In Love With. He Emotionally %26amp; Physically Abused Me. At The Time I Thought I Was In Love With Him And It Was Sorta Normal To Experience That. I Looked Past The Abuse Because I Was In Love With Him. I Think You Can Be In Love With Someone And They Can Be Abusive.What do you think about abusive relationships- is it true love?
    Being in love does not hurt. The one being abused and allowing it to go on is in love with the idea that they can change this person. If they were a better person the abuser would stop this. They can't comprehend that the abuser is sick. The abuser is a very miserable person and can't find happiness in their life so they want to bring everyone around them down. If their spouse shows signs of joy of any kind this will set them off. So putting the two together is a very dangerous situation.
    The abuser may well be in the love with the abused - but it is still an abusive relationship and not healthy. If you are in this kind of relationship, then get out of it as soon as you can.
    Abusive individuals are telling others that they have a psychological problem. They feel inferior or unlovedl. Best to direct 'em to get professional help. When well, then check 'em out, later though.
    hun if ur getting abused, get away from him and no its not love
    All of these Scenarios are what are Called '; SICK Relationships '; . Run as Fast as You Can!!!!!! Get the He-- out of there before it becomes ';Normal'; to you!!!! No this is NOT LOVE!!!! It is Sick. Mentally, Emotionally, and Physically!!!
    i believe that the person being abused thinks that it's true love therefore allowing the abuser to abuse them. they are scared and naive, they're afraid to leave or so badly abused whether it be physical or verbal that their self esteem and confidence are very low so they dont think anyone else would want them or dont have enough courage to find a way out. i would never call it true love. the abuser was most likely a victim of abuse or a witness to it growing up. I'm sure its possible to be in love at one point in an abusive relationship but no one should go through that and if they do, they have to realise they deserve much better.. its not love.

    Is it true that in most relationships men want to posses whilst girls want to cherish?

    No. It seems right to simplify it like that, though doesn't it?. It's got some truth in it in many cases, but it's like saying women can be categorised as manipulative and seductive, while men are described as distant and intense! :)Is it true that in most relationships men want to posses whilst girls want to cherish?
    no girls want to posses too like myself and some guys are for open relationships because they want to keep sleeping with as many girls as possible.Is it true that in most relationships men want to posses whilst girls want to cherish?
    No.
    Nope

    Is it comfortable to have sexual relationships on folding beds?

    im moving out, i dont know what to buy, the regular bed or folding bed?





    i like the portability/price of the folding beds, but i wonder about the sex part of it.





    here is a site that has pics


    http://www.thesleepcentre.co.uk/Folding%20Guest%20Beds.htmIs it comfortable to have sexual relationships on folding beds?
    Not from my experience.... get a good waveless waterbed or jell bed....or get a couple three good big matts and pile them on the floor.... never found a ';folding'; bed that was comfortable for any thing.... and that includes the so-called hospital type.

  • Can nightclub/party relationships that begin in a physical way lead to real relationships?

    Is it good for a relationship to begin in a physical way? Is there a possibility that it could work long term?Can nightclub/party relationships that begin in a physical way lead to real relationships?
    Yes, they can, I went out with a guy for two years and we met at a club. I can't say that a physical relationship is the best way to start a real, meaningful relationship, but physical attraction is what starts any relationship. Be honest and open about your expectations and you will be fine. It might not work out, but you at least gave it a chance.Can nightclub/party relationships that begin in a physical way lead to real relationships?
    The magic word you said is ';work';. To turn a partying relationship into a long-term one you need to approach it differently, decisively, and with conviction that you want this thing to last and are willing to do whatever it takes in a serious and sane way. It may call for dramatic changes away from the party/club scene just to prove sincerity. And long term relations usually involve commitment to each other, love, and all the wonderful things a normal couple share.
    I don't believe this matters. I have been married for 17 yrs to a lady I made love to on the first night we went out together.





    Just don't expect it to happen, always consider if you have sex with someone you just met it is most likely going to be a casual thing, or a one night stand. What happens from there time will tell/
    not sure nowadays....but 20-30 years ago it was typical....i know of several marriages still going strong today that began that way.

    How can active listening build better relationships?

    well many say that communication is the key to relationships and by listening to the person you know how they feel, what they need, and what they like. this knowledge is sure to build a better relationship in the future.

    What Is your opnion about intimate relationships and comunications??

    1.The qualities that help people develop intimate relationships


    2. Different types of love relationsships ans stages they often go through.


    3. Common challenges of forming and mainting intimate relationships


    4. elements of healthy and productive communications 5.characteristics of successful families and some potential problems


    6. joys and chalenges of being a parentWhat Is your opnion about intimate relationships and comunications??
    Wow, you are in for some heavy reading with question!!!


    Here goes:





    1. Love of Self, admiration of diversities, considerate co-existance ethics, ability to compromise, compassion, forgiveness, adherence to rite of privacy, patience, tolerance, understanding...support of another's growing %26amp; being, while growing in Self.





    2. The 'Crush'--love in fantasy form...hardly ever pans out.


    'Puppy' Love--usually a first experience of going beyond friendship...deep, confusing, frustrating...provides opportunity for exploration of Self/another more intimately.


    'True' Love--deepest bonding of human forces...that all-encompassing, give your life for, thru thick %26amp; thin, attraction/attachment...THE partnership of a lifetime.


    Love Energy--that eyes-meet-across-the-room %26amp; bang! You both connect! Provides that jump out of bed in the morning, can't get him/her off the mind, that glow %26amp; ear to ear grin, can't wait to see again, feeling. Awesome experience, starts in a whirlwind and winds down from there...sometimes leads to the 'True' Love, sometimes not--depends on expectations.


    Love of Lust--The totally physical attraction of consenting adults who have no commits in mind, love sex %26amp; no-holds barred exploration of that...sometimes becomes a tight friendship (friends w/benefits, so to speak), that comes %26amp; goes throughout life...sometimes only one-nighters.


    Parental Love--Supposed to be the unconditional committment to the responsibility taken on by the bearer(s) to allow another entity the opportunity to experience a lifetime...this entails affording that entity the time, freedom, lessons of social stealth, the academic/life skills knowledge, and wisdoms of virtues to do so as healthfully as possible. Not always the case, but is the grander ideal.


    Unconditional Love--The pure energy force that engulfs all of life...not a feeling, but an essence of that which we truly are. It is the power of freedom ';to be, or not to be'; of every moment of existance...all things equal on the plane, all things entitled to become of their free-will choices, all things entitled to the consequences of those choices. The grandest Love of All !!!





    3. Greatest challenge of any relationship--acquaintance thru any of the above--Would continuance/deepening of such be of personal benefit??? You, yourself, have to choose, at every stage %26amp; moment of such, who %26amp; what you are, within it %26amp; because of it...and does that beingness reflect YOUR grandest vision of Self for the lifetime you came into.





    4. Self Control--one should be able to keep brain in gear before mouth...ears always open, mouth only when necessary. This is where the virtues of wisdom shine, compromise excels, growth %26amp; deepness abound, connects strengthen. Ability to communicate encompasses the physical %26amp; the mental of all relationshipping.





    5. Considering 'success' as all involved being free ';to be'; as they are, in an understanding conglomeration of humans being...See Numero Uno. There are no 'problems', only 'solutions' in anything ';successful';.





    6. Going thru all of the above with every individual that passes from loin to womb %26amp; into hands!!! Parenting is an experience of it's own, while all are experiencing of themselves in process...an amazing adenture, indeed!!! If you don't already possess many of the #1 virtues, parenting provides the greatest opportunity to acquire %26amp; hone them!!! lol:) Challenges of not having enough arms, actual eyes in back of the head, ESP skills, a toteable IV of Adrenaline, kids not having 'off' switches, nor born with ';silver spoons';, and still ';be'; of Self, are just a few. Dealing with neighbors, school systems, %26amp; the mass conscious concept of 'normal' are a few more...and the list can go on %26amp; on!!! (lol:) And the joys of such are priceless experiences %26amp; memories, %26amp; hope/witness to the future of mankind.





    Good Journey...now, I need a nap!!! lol:)

    Are your internet relationships better and healthier than your real life relationships?

    My internet relationships have turned into real relationships. Friends are friends no matter where you meet them at.





    Now get over here and let me tickle yer Skwerl nuts!Are your internet relationships better and healthier than your real life relationships?
    No





    Long distance relationships lack the physical part of a relationship and deal with mostly just personality, likes, dislikes, preferences, basically your mind which is what people seek in long term relationships





    A close distance relationship can follow suit plus the physicalness but that depends on the peopleAre your internet relationships better and healthier than your real life relationships?
    THEY SUCKSHIT AND YOU THINK YOU CAN TRUST SOMEONE BUT THEY ARE ONE PERSON ONE DAY AND SOMEONE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THE NEXT. JUST SAY NO.





    Did you know someone can ask you to leave your family %26amp; friends and move across the country to be with him one day and stop speaking to you the next? Not cool.
    Heellllll noooooo Real life is much better, don't get me wrong I am extremely grateful to my friends here on answers but they could never take the place of my real life, life. Does that make sense? Careful of online relationships they can wreak havoc on your ';real life';
    really not. drama here. drama there. however, my best relationships are here nearby.
    Yep. I find long distances can actually even be good at times for keeping up with friends but not dealing with too much daily drama.
    Umm...


    Probably. O.O





    But my real life ones are pretty healthy. I think. O.O
    Relationships?
    If you hadn't noticed, I took yesterday off. Me and the wife cheated the man for a couple of hours. Feeling refreshed and vibrant today!
    No change in between !
    yes i get to cheat anytime i want
    If I was a cyber geek, yes.
    know there fake,


    unless they lead to meeting up.
    sure
    nope
    there's so much more love here in yahoo, yep.
    slaps don't hurt as much and stalking isn't illegal online.
    noooooooooo.


    In person is WAY easier and better than online.


    For me anyway.

    Most of my friends are in relationships and I struggle to be happy for them? I guess I'm jealous? Shy guy?

    I'm 21 and in college and I suppose I'm not the best looking guy. I always seem single while my friends are in relationships. Any advice?Most of my friends are in relationships and I struggle to be happy for them? I guess I'm jealous? Shy guy?
    Don't look for it !


    It will find you a lot faster than you think !


    Enjoy your freedom while you still can ...Most of my friends are in relationships and I struggle to be happy for them? I guess I'm jealous? Shy guy?
    the right one God has picked for you just has not crossed your path yet. hang in there!
    pretty girls r not always the best


    try to get one for her soul who shares a lot with u in common
    just don't look. it takes about 6 - 8 months (for me) every time i get rid of the previous. They just come knocking at door, its kinda weird but that is what happens.
    Oh, you are just being insecure... I am a young girly and telling you now the right one will come around in good time. It is not jealousy. You just have to be patient and neat and strike up a conversation with a girl you like... but first be friends... then later take it to the next level... do not worry about this... take your time and things will happen for you.
    Hi.... Okay don't worry it's all normal doesn't mean you're friends are in relationship you must have a girlfriend too.... Yeah you might not be the best looking guy but who cares... As long as you're a good hearted person everyone will love you..... If you want Advice This is my Advice..... Be friends with a girl started it out as friends then if you seem like the girl understands you then and she really seems like you're type than whens it's the time like valentines day bring her to an romantic place and give her things that are romantic and make sure she says Wow! sooo romantic maybe then she might fall for you :)
    Wrong section FTW.
    learn from them.





    I was a shy, average at best looking guy, and I guess I still am. But at your age I felt similar.





    You may be suffering from depression, and you can talk to your doctor about that. That was my problem.





    Just try to have fun with your friends, don't come across as desperate or feeling sorry for yourself because that will send women running in the opposite direction.





    I didn't find true love until age 36! Now I'm happily married with a wonderful 2 year old son!
    You are more likely to attract a girl of your own, if you actually had a happy life of your own to share with someone. Desperate beggars do not get dates. If you want a relationship, then you need to bring something to the table, so to speak. You need something to offer to the other person that says, ';I'm a good choice for you';. If you don't have looks or money, then what you have to offer is ';fun';. If you are happy with your life, and you have a lot of meaningful things to occupy your time and keep you happy, then not only do you not have time to be jealous of others, but your overall relaxed %26amp; joyful mood will naturally attract others. Acting sad and desperate attracts almost no one (except other desperate people).





    If you don't have any hobbies, try volunteering for something as a starter. It feels good to help other people, and who knows, you might accidentally meet another cute volunteer.





    It's either that, or simply get over your shyness and force yourself to go meet people. Since you are a guy, it is unlikely that any woman will take the initiative and come over to you first.
    So you are basing your happiness on someone else. If I were you I would become more self reliant than that. Otherwise you're just a thistle seed blowing in the wind.


    You don't need others for happiness you just need to use your free will and refuse to be unhappy.


    However, most people are single for a reason, but fail to recognise the fault lies with themselves. If you believe it's because you are shy then don't be shy. Be a couragous warrior, people dont normally bite you for saying hi.


    You'd be suprise to learn how little other people worry about such things as other peoples self perceptions. Go for it.






    Its not unnatural to be jealous, of course as humans we always want something we cant have especially if we see others with that thing we dont own. You should definetly think about change, change shouldnt be feared but accepted. If your shy then concentrate on changing the traits of your personality , if you looks are what concerns you more concentrate on that , definetly build a friendship with girls and who knows it might go on to be something better
    I am like that too. I am a mother in my 30's and I have not had a real boyfriend in over 6 years or so (I lost track). I also don't have many friends. I think that I push people away because of trust issues. Kind of like you want it, but you are scared of it. But on the up side, I have learned to love myself. No one else seems to, so I learned to do that for myself, lol. And my kids and pets adore me, so that is nice, but they kind of need me to survive.
    join a small group at church that interest you . Let God put it together for you .
    Enjoy your single life whilst it lasts. Not saying I don't enjoy being with my wife but every moment should be cherished, single or not.

    Why Obama wants to ';re-load'; relationships with Russia?

    1. Russia is a dead zone with obliterating population;


    2. July 13 Europe will eventually start Nabucco - gas line which will end up european dependency on russian oil/gas;


    3. Russia finally will be kicked off from G8 and die as empire;


    4. Putin is the same evil as president of Iran.Why Obama wants to ';re-load'; relationships with Russia?
    Not a good IdeaWhy Obama wants to ';re-load'; relationships with Russia?
    Thank g-d. Last time around they were going to overcharge (peregruzka) relations.


    Peace
    One of the reasons for strong anti-Americanism in Russia can be linked to the hostile policy of America in the past. A refreshing approach of less hostility and more cooperativeness is a welcome change and may in fact calm down the relations between these two countries. Russia is a world power, and with the oil, gas, timber and diamonds, coming to an agreement not to disagree would be nice. Unfortunately, anit-Americanism serves a purpose.





    Russia risks destabilization on its borders if the war in Afghanistan further deteriorates. And on Friday, a senior official said the Kremlin would allow the U.S. to ship weapons headed for Afghanistan across Russian territory.





    But analysts said Moscow still feels a compulsion to interfere with U.S. goals. Anti-Americanism, some say, has deep roots in Russia's view of itself, its insecurities and aspirations to become a superpower once more.





    In Russia, cozy ties with the West are associated with the impotence, humiliation and corruption of the 1990s. Hostility, on the other hand, is considered a hallmark of strength, smacking of Soviet empire and Putin's oil-rich ride in the presidency.
    You have #4 completely wrong, Putin is much more a warmonger. cold, calculating, but well sane. Iraq couldnt even come close.





    Putin has made comments that Georgia and Ukraine will be part of Russia again, but by his doing alone. He is already made the call for war against Georgia to finish the job they started. And war is immennant.





    Remember both countries are almost NATO because of their democracy is crutial to the US. But Obama has yet to address it except possibly now when he restores so called relations.





    Russia is chalked also full of natural resources the U.S couldnt dream of, besides crude, gas, gold,ect they are the only country in the world with Platonium deposits. They are no means a dead zone.





    It will be interesting on what Obama achieves on the diplomatic talks with Putin and his puppet president. My guess they are going to crumple further, making the Red Bear much more of a threat than anyone in the world.
    They have problems, but not handling Putin now could lead to bigger problems in the future. He's already aggressively entered other regions. Better to deal with him and create a relationship before it goes south.
    Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. If the NK thing blows up, having Russia on our side to use as a launching site for missions would be a really good thing.





    Plus, why have enemies, that you can turn into friends?
    We need Russian cooperation to ship our crap into Afghanistan in order to avoid Pakistan as much as possible.
    Ummmmmm. Maybe because Russia can still blow us off of the map.
    Do you have a question or just this rant? Russia is an important player in international relations. Of course we need to maintain some sort of relationship with them. Hello?

    Why the people love talk about relationships?

    I don't like talk about that

    Well its quite silly to ask some of the questions you see. Bacially there are several rules people should follow. If you aint treated with respect and it aint fun...end it.





    If you like being domineered carry on but yer just weak and deserve it and if you are the domineering one, frightended of losing control are you. Shame! you deserve it.





    But they should end the link to relationships, thats wat you share with friends no the cyber world.

    Why do bad men enjoy great relationships while truly nice men suffer loneliness due to bad mens' wrongdoings?

    So many women say there are no nice guys in the world - truth is, the truly right guys (and girls) are all suffering from loneliness, largely due to the damage previously caused by the former (and often current) bad man's evil deeds. Nice guys really do finish dead last (if they even place at all).Why do bad men enjoy great relationships while truly nice men suffer loneliness due to bad mens' wrongdoings?
    Because women say they want nice guys, but always go for the bad boys. Don't try to figure them out...that's just the way they are and it sucks for us good guys.Why do bad men enjoy great relationships while truly nice men suffer loneliness due to bad mens' wrongdoings?
    You should take another look, sometimes you arent looking at what is right in front of you. What I mean is, take the time to find a girl that likes you for who you are.
    it's not that...


    getting over someone is easier with someone great.





    But Nice guys are often BORING.. THEY think they are Nice but they really dont' go beyond their own comfort zone! zzzzzzzzzzzz
    waaaaaaaaa~~!!!

  • What are your opinions on interracial relationships?

    I think that they're cute, but my dad disagrees. What do you think?What are your opinions on interracial relationships?
    Curley Girl, you are not white/puerto rican. You are white/black. Puerto Ricans have the same racial make up as Blacks., part white, african, indian that goes for all hispanics outside of La Spana. A DNA test will prove it. About interracial relationships, God has no problem with it so how can we? If He did have a problem and wanted everyone to stay in his/her race, He would have made a way not to have mixed children. Duh.....Like a cat and a dog cant have nuthin?What are your opinions on interracial relationships?
    i totally agree with you dad
    people are people. we are all one race. im ';pro'; i guess u cud say
    I don't have an opinion.. I look at everyone of us as equals.. what seperates us is when we allow our selves to be less then our potential.
    I think they're great. I've been in one for 11 years. Race doesn't matter, personality does.
    It isn't the 1800's anymore. Interracial couples aren't a big deal anymore. You see them anywhere you go. And I myself, date girls of many other races. =)
    interracial couples are jus like same race c ouples, all people. I am half white half puerto rican an my husband is black. ur dad sounds like hes an old fashioned racist im glad u dont sound like that

    Do women think that they're the only ones that end up hurt in relationships?

    And maybe I don't want rush into anything because I don't want to get hurt again?Do women think that they're the only ones that end up hurt in relationships?
    No, it's just that we're more outspoken about it.Do women think that they're the only ones that end up hurt in relationships?
    no - i believe women's egos get hurt in relationships and that's it. can't stand the thought that a man could possibly not want to be with them and turn bitter b****** about it and sometimes even scary. it's flimsy evidence to back up my theory, but listen to break-up songs from any period by women and men. typically men's sing of heartache and total loss and are the heart-string pulling, sentimental songs. women's are more often about how quickly they got over him and how she had someone in the backup spot anyway. too many games if you ask me. no matter who gets hurt more, everyone seems to have an agenda these days anyway.
    Most women seem to think so. Men definitely get hurt but those women don't realize it because they seem to want to get with d-bags. Just hang in there, man.
    Nope. Men end up hurt, too
    yes
    Most of the time.

    Is technology good for social relationships and society?

    thanks for your input. it is appreciated.Is technology good for social relationships and society?
    Technology is, i believe, one of the factors responsible for the social decline in today's world.





    How is sitting infront of a tv for hours, or playing computer games healthy! We should be interacting, in person, doing healthy activities, this is obvious, it's how we have developed over millions of years!





    100 years of technology and we have generated all sorts of problems, global warming, rise of childhood disorders, pollution causing amongst other things respiritory problems, mass warfare, etc. At least before we couldn't actually destroy the whole globe, now we can do it in a variety of ways. This is a pretty damning social problem!





    Entertainment TV, %26amp; Computer games are essentially an utter waste of time. Shamefully I partake in both...


    These allow you to practice escapism without the drugs.





    Their are far better forms of enterainment like a sport/hobby or meeting friends, etc, that involve actually talking to people and partaking in healthy activities.





    I think we would be far better off without technology, we are meant to work the land, walk around alot, socialise with others in person and so on, not sit infront of a computer screen or a tv for hours on end. A lot of children are now growing up spending more time with the TV than with their parents! If you don't get practise at it, you won't improve so it is vital kids don't waste time on tv %26amp; computer games.





    Technology also brings great benefit to social relationships, the fact I can answer your question is pretty good don't you think? Or hearing aids for hearing impaired, artificial limbs etc.





    Advances in any field of study can be distributed much more effectively, reports for criminals can aid police forces, people in other countries can communicate with us,





    We can store music for social occasions and change it for various effects, but I think this has reduced the overall ability of people to create their own music as seems to have occured in the past, as small communities all took part in creating the music for any festivities. This probably adds to reducing the amount of actual contact between people in a community.





    A lot of communication is visual, so i don't think mobile phones and chat on the interent is better than face-to-face communication, and sadly it seems to replace a lot of it today rather than aid it to fill in the gaps.





    In making the world smaller we have become further apart than ever, we all know the difference between people's friendliness in the city or out in the country. When you travel out to the country where technology doesn't have such a grip you find people are far more friendly and have time for you, this i suppose is good supporting evidence that technology doesn't aid social relationships and society in general.





    You can get everything without leaving your own home, because the possibility is there some people do it; you can entertain yourself and live %26amp; provide for yourself in your own home. This certainly doesn't aid social relationships.





    I've dribbled enough now...Is technology good for social relationships and society?
    In my opinion i don't think it is god for society. I think it has made many people socially alone and abandoned. Instead of developing real interpersonal relationships people rely on the Internet and instant messaging to create a network of friends and that hurts them in the long run.
    Anything used for the ';higher good'; will return that which is noble; anything used for wicked purposes will probably


    bring wicked things back. Everything in moderation.





    It opens up a new category: cyber-relationships. They will be good and bad just like the relationships we experience in the ';real world';

    Do people really have intimate relationships with their pets and/or animals?

    I don't think that is the ';intimate relation'; the questioner is talking about.





    Umm, it's been known to happen. I have heard second hand reports. (Thank goodness I've never actually WITNESSED anything like that). I've also had someone to tell me they saw it on video.





    Then there's the guy who died not too long ago because he tried to see what it would feel like with a horse. And no, it wasn't damage caused by the horse's hooves.





    And then there's the guy who had a web page proclaiming that he was married to a dolphin.





    OK, that's enough of THAT, let's move on to the next question, shall we?Do people really have intimate relationships with their pets and/or animals?
    If you define intimate relationships as a close knit bond between the pet and their owner, then yes.





    If the owner spends enough time with the pet, the pet will become quite used to the owner.





    Many animals, however, espcially those who are not normally social in the wild, have varying levels of being 'socal' to humans.





    Those animals who are social however, thend to form quite strong bonds with their owners.





    Macaws for example form a life long bond with their owner, and switching them between owners tends to put them into a state of depression untill they can trust their new owners.





    The anwser to your question is yes.

    Does teen vogue talk about relationships?

    I was just wondering.. or does it just talk about fashion?Does teen vogue talk about relationships?
    there's barley any relationship talk. if there is its usually in the article from the cover girl

    Why do girls get into relationships with emotionally vacant men?

    Because we consider it a challenge. We always think that we're special enough that we can change his point of view. If I spend enough time on him, he will come around and love me. It took so much time and energy to find this one, I don't want to go through that again and probably end up with somebody worse.Why do girls get into relationships with emotionally vacant men?
    They hope that they can change them and make them better.Why do girls get into relationships with emotionally vacant men?
    Because there's only room for one drama queen in a relationship, and I think we're all less disturbed if that's not the man. But seriously, I think women are naturally drawn to men who seem strong and confident -- hell, men are drawn to other men who seem strong and confident -- and only later realize that most of those men are just repressed and in self-denial. It's annoying I realize. But hey, many men are often so busy being emotionally vacant that they fail to notice they're paying most of the bills and getting the short end on birthdays and anniversaries, and that's some consolation for their women.
    Good question, probably because women tend to make judgements based on personality too quickly. (formal dates are taken to be how men act on a regular basis), so if a guy is nice the girl thinks this is how he always acts. He plays the game and she plays into it, as opposed to perhaps an emotional guy who actually cares more and is more honest on a formal date.





    Short Answer: There are some lies women like.
    What choice do we have???
    ';Our two minds .... One is an act of the emotional


    mind, the other of the rational mind. In a very real


    sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that


    feels'; (Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence,


    Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 1996, page 8).





    The Upanishads call the emotional component of mind as


    Chitta and the rational component of mind as Manas. In


    general, women excel in Chitta and men excel in


    Manas.





    Manas is the conscious component of mind. A man mostly


    looks at the beauty of a woman and her attractiveness.


    You must have observed one thing. A beautiful woman


    rarely becomes the wife of a handsome man. They usually


    choose an average man, and many a times a below average


    man. The reason is they use Chitta which is the


    sub-conscious component of mind. Why they choose that


    way is beyond reason.

    You cant go by an article really. different people deal with it in different ways. Some dont tell and just break up with the person. Most of them find others that are already infected to share the rest of their lives with. Some are hurting inside and decide to take it out on the world by spreading it without telling people. There are many different outcomes.

    SOME guys (not all) feel like the more guys they get, the better they are. i think these guys have insecurity issues. i much prefer a guy who will love me for me rather than crossing another name off his list.

    I have met some very nice guys and gals and we usually keep in touch.


    Nothing like having lots of friends


    xo
    Just be careful, and take your time. Any one who is going to try something is going to try to rush you. Take your time, always ask advice and all the best.
    You can email me anytime! I don't have many friends right now! Like two of them tried to have sex with my boyfriend! lol!
    yeah.. there are also dating sites you can use. theres nothing wrong with that :) goodluck with whoever you want to find
    yes. my sister met this guy on here and they are engaged:)
    Online relationships seem great at first, until you date in person for a while, then you realize a lot of it was in your head! I did it once, will never do it again, so don't take anyone seriousely on here, it's better to meet ppl in person x

    Are the number of interracial relationships increasing nowadays?

    Probably.Are the number of interracial relationships increasing nowadays?
    I don't think it has to do with ';more spotlight'; as some have put, seeing as we are not talking about celebrities, just your common interracial couples. We see more of them because there is more of them to see. ';spotlight'; has nothing to do with it.Are the number of interracial relationships increasing nowadays?
    Honestly I wouldn't say it's ';increasing';. Interracial relationships just get a lot of publicity is all, otherwise there wouldn't be a lot of ';full'; blooded people around.
    Yes, because of hot white girlz.
    I agree with Politically Incorrect, the only reason it seems like it is increasing is because there is more spotlight put on them.
    Yes. I think so. Im black my bf is Salvadoran. Three of my friends are also in black dating latinos.
    Yes....I am hot for some sexy white mediterranean looking men! But I have seen alot of gorgeous men of all races..
    I see many interracial relationships but more mono racial relationships
    Yeah. England's number one in interracial marriages!
    ya cause ima bang me a latina tonite
    of course they are without a doubt....fewer barriers

    I spent most of my life like that! It turns out to have a lot to do with inadequate, dysfunctional parenting and a LOUSEY home life which conditions you to be frightened, angry, defensive, unhappy, depressed, anti-social, reclusive and other mental/emotional handicaps from early childhood on UNTIL you finally discover THERAPY.


    Assuming you are not suffering with a genetic issue, get to work on your self esteem............that's what saved me - so far.

    Why do people in marriage/relationships have this type of mentality?

    They live by ';if you can pull your own weight then bye';


    If relationships are like this this day and age then I want no part of a relationship....


    I know of a person that is like this but they got humbled when they fell on hard times and could no longer beat their chest....


    Hopefully she learned a valuable lesson....Why do people in marriage/relationships have this type of mentality?
    My hubby and i married with both of us working. We had a child and I no longer worked. We have just enough money and I am looking for a job. He is also willing to loose sleep over my job hunt, he works nights. I have been on harder times with him. Never have I lost his love. When people fight over sh*t, they either forgive and forget, or they hold a resentment forever. We always forgive and forget!Why do people in marriage/relationships have this type of mentality?
    If people don't discuss finances, who is going to work, or if both people are, before marriage, then they could be setting themselves up for a big let down.





    Getting married is a huge life change, and if people don't discuss the future, and voice expectations, then they are getting into something wearing blinders. Whose fault is that?





    We also have to realize that things happen in life. People get laid off, people might get sick, or god forbid in an accident and be laid up for a while.... so i guess this is what the ';for better or WORSE'; phrase in the marriage vows is talking about.

    HOW important and essential is the HAPPINESS in married couples and others romantic relationships?

    Happiness is very important. But happiness comes from inside. No one can make you feel happy, being happy is a choice. If one always see the negatives in everything, eventually they will hunt down negatives in you, because they are not happy inside. They are pessimistic and they will bring you down and make everything you experience together problematic and dramatic and melodramatic. They do not know how to experience happiness. Who can live under that kind of cloud for ever? Its a horrible way to live life.HOW important and essential is the HAPPINESS in married couples and others romantic relationships?
    Totally important and essential - it brings joy to EVERY moment!HOW important and essential is the HAPPINESS in married couples and others romantic relationships?
    Happiness tops the list of important things. All the rest flows from it.





    Romance, sex, fulfilment etc. are effects not causes. Happiness is the cause of all the rest.





    Don't worry, be happy.
    all things change, happiness will mean different things in the life of a relationship, based on how long the couple are together. The giddy stupid happy, brought on by hormones, during the courtship and initial phase of the relationship is bound to change. If it didn't it would be just like an addiction because you would need more to get you to the same high


    (been there done that ...sound familiar) so giddy happy, is replaced with satisfied happy, then to comfortable happy .....and on and on. If you can't bear the loss of the first then be upfront with yourself and anyone you are involved with. It will save time, heartache and face
    that is one of the most important things in your marriage.if you are not happy with your mate how can you be happy spending a lifetime with them? it just wont work!!!!!!!!!

    You have to ask yourself how much you really like her in order to determine whether or not is pride or ego. Sometimes you don't realize what is you have until it is gone.How come she wanted me and then when it was almost over i wanted her. Why does this happen in relationships?
    sounds like games
    because you wanted her tto try but now that you see that your loosing her you want her back.
    You don't want anyone else to have her....
    maybe in the end you realized she was something that you have been looking for and now you might actually lose someone important to you...
    It is in a man's nature to want to 'chase' a woman... or chase anything. They love the challenge, need the challenge.





    Example: Men will go out into the wilderness, weather the cold and dampness, sleep on hard ground, get blisters on his feet, eat food that could make him sick... just to stalk down and shoot a Deer. It's a ';Aaarrrrgggghhh! I am man!'; moment. It's in a man's genes. But if you deliver a dead deer to his doorstep someone else killed, it means absolutely nothing to him. It isn't the prey, it's the hunt. Even if you're not a hunter, you get the gist.





    Women make it too boring for guys when the women becomes the hunter. When she quits and turns away... now you can get what you really want: The thrill of the chase. But... maybe she isn't your girl. Don't confuse your natural desire to chase with chasing the wrong girl. Only you can answer that one. Good luck!
    You thought you didnt want her,, but your heart did and now thats why you want her back.......
    yes, it was ego, with time you'll realize it...humans always want what they can't have...it hurts that she no longer wants you
    simple. We always want what we can't have.

    Is a long distance relationships unhealthy?

    I really like this guy, but he lives 3 or 4 hours away from me. I get a lot of comments saying that he's going to cheat on me if we do go out. I just don't think he would do that to me. please help me, i need an outsider's advice.Is a long distance relationships unhealthy?
    It's not unhealthy, but it is MUCH harder to stay faithful... I was unfaithful in my LDR. But if you're both committed to each other, then that doesn't have to happen.

    Five reasons why one must have a healthy relationship & characteristics of healthy relationships?

    I don't know about 5 reasons one must have a healthy relationship other than it reduces your stress levels and avoids emotional instability, LOL, but I can say that one of the most important characteristics of a healthy relationship is HONESTY. Being able to openly tell one another how one feels, is crucial. Once in a while, I will ask how our sex life is going, if he is satisfied, if there is anything I do that irritates him, anything he dislikes that I can change, if he is sick of me, LOL. Seriously, I told him that the day he gets tired of me and has a roving eye and wants to cheat on me, to honestly tell me and I will be sad and traumatized, but not as traumatized if I found out he was doing it behind my back for fear of telling me the truth and fear of me breaking down emotionally. I am glad we can openly talk about stuff like that. It makes for one healthy relationship. And also, if your partner tells you he loves you, without you saying it first...... it truly means he does love you. I never have to force it out of him and I know for a fact, he is loyal, faithful, truly cares about me deeply and loves me to death.

    How do long distance relationships work?

    and if that someone loves you and you live in seperate cities, shouldnt they call daily to let you know they are thinking about you? especially when i have decided to move in with him in january. i need a males point of view. i think my boyfriend is trying to get out of me moving up there with him. what would you do to let her know you changed your mind without telling her straight out?How do long distance relationships work?
    Long distance relationships don't often work...and if you are supposed to move there in Jan, you need to be talking frankly with him NOW. It's 3 weeks until Jan and it looks like he might not want you there...are you going to wait until you are moved to press him about really wanting you there?





    No, in a long distance relationship a couple shouldn't feel obligated to speak daily...if they want to, that's fine but even in local relationships that doesn't happen all the time...you don't want your relationship to turn into a chore (brush my teeth, take out the trash, call my significant other, do the laundry)...y'know?





    Talk to him...if he doesn't call and you want to speak to him, then call him. If you're supposed to be living together soon, you'll have daily contact and then some...if he's having second thoughts, you need to know!How do long distance relationships work?
    Sorry it turned out as it did, but better to know now, than before you uprooted your life for him. He should have been up front with you as soon as he realized he'd had a change of heart. Take care of you and I hope you can have a lovely holiday season in spite of this.

    Long distance never work at first they call every day and then every tird day and as you can tell every other week. they always have things to do, but don't close your eyes and try to see his patterns just don't cry if he says it over.
    My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 1/2 years and half of that time has been spent apart, usually in different states. We have hopes to get married. Long distance relationships definitely work, but only if it's already pretty well established and if you're both completely committed to one another. And communication is definitely a must... If not every day, then every other day.
    its quite simple, its based on trust. people have different ways of expressing themselves, bt in this digital age i gues it doesnt tak too much to send at least a sms to show u care.
    well after the move is a great time you can change all your numbers real fast and well real easy to end it right their. but calling everyday is just dumb nothing happens everyday why do i need to call you all the time jsut to ';talk';. thats dumb come see me ill call you on the weekends nothing wrong just accept the fact that i can go days without talking to you and im fine with that. i dont like you less but i dont talk to to many people everyday with out getting paid to do it.
    Yes he should call u every day , anyone can make a 2 minute call.I would take this a red flag..
    Just what he is doing..... forget it sweetie.
    Long distance relationships are hard work. Has he always not called often or is this a recent change do to your committment to move closer to him?


    I think frequent contact (more so in a LDR) is an essential part of a relationship. I am an upfront person so I would tell my girlfriend straight out if I didn't want her to move. Sadly, a cowards way might be to ignore you and hope you get the point.
    No they shouldn't call daily. Expecting that is being clingy. You boyfriend is probably tired of your clingyness. Back off or eventually he won't care whether he hurts you or not and will tell you to get lost. Calling every single day is way too much, even married couples who are ';separated'; by jobs (military) don't call each other every single day. Lighten up or you won't have a place to move to in January.
    He's already letting you know by NOT calling.

    What is a ';fear of abandonment'; and how can it ruin your relationships?

    It's lack of trust in a relationship, so much to the point that everything you do drives the other person away.What is a ';fear of abandonment'; and how can it ruin your relationships?
    It means you're afraid people will leave you. The main problem it causes is lack of trust which can ruin relationships.What is a ';fear of abandonment'; and how can it ruin your relationships?
    Fear of abandonment is a condition in which someone is afraid of being abandoned. It is like fear of rejection, only during the relationship. It can ruin relationships because they get so scared of being lonely that they become ';obsessed'; over their spouse and eventually the spouse gets so sick of it that they leave. This can possibly lead to suicide, homicide, and other activities of that nature.
    Generally, people who have fear of abandonment hold onto people so tightly, they smother them until the other person becomes resentful and is rushing to get away. This causes the ';holder'; to pull tighter until the relationship explodes.

    watch the movie GOOD WILL EXPECTATIONS, it is very good in that topic
    When you think of losing a loved one, does your heart race, palms sweat, or you shake uncontrollably? Does the very idea of being alone cause you to attach yourself to people who aren鈥檛 healthy for you? If so, you may suffer from a fear of abandonment. And you are not alone: more people than you might think share this fear with you.

    Why is it so hard for gay men to have healthy monogamous relationships now and days?

    I am gay, and over time I have realized that you dont see many gay relationships last more than a year. I mean now, to me when you hear of guys being together for more than 3 years, that would almost be the equivalent if two people were to spend a lifetime together. Why is that? Now and days, usually when I go on a date, usually the other person wants some pillow talk at the end of it, and thats just not something I want. What happened to just getting to know eachother and letting time work things out?Why is it so hard for gay men to have healthy monogamous relationships now and days?
    In my opinion, it has always been more difficult for two men to stay together. For one, there are not the usual support systems in place to keep men together. This is largely due to living in a society that does not support long term gay relationships, either legally or socially.Why is it so hard for gay men to have healthy monogamous relationships now and days?
    Stay true to yourself. I did. I was called stuck up by gays in my community. It bothered me but I stayed the course. I decided I wasn't just a piece of meat, I was a person and I deserve to be treated as such. It took awhile, the first BF didn't work out but it was an interesting summer. I chose to move on and that second year I met my guy. At first he scared the hell out of me. Such a big rugged guy could break me in half without so much as a by your leave, but he persisted. So we dated. I was 18 and he was older. He came to visit me in college, called, wrote, and by the time I was a sophmore we had an apartment. He worked , I went to school and worked, and we made it work together. 22 years later we are still going strong and I wouldn't have it any other way.
    I don't think it has anything to do with 'now a days', I think it has been like this for a long time. I think it is because guys (str8 or gay) are way more horny then women and want lots of sex. So when you get two guys together that want sex, sex, sex it is difficult to to stop them. When one guy gets tired of sex with his present partner or when one of the partners is no longer really interested in sexual activities then the other moves on to find other sexual avenues. Usually when this happens one partner no longer wants to have anything to do with the other and they split up. Anyway those are just my thoughts on it all. *hugs* JAC%26lt;
    i kind of agree with you in this one. i think most of them want nothing but fun. but in time you will find the one who want a relation rather than just fun. i think when the time is right or when they find the right partner then they tend to stay together for such long period of time. it's just a matter of when and who you were with. you'll find yours soon, don't worry, keep looking...!


    i met so many boys before i found my ex. we were toghether for nearly 4 years. we didn't brake up because we didn't love each other anymore but because he is to jealous. but that's another story. i was with my first boyfriend for about 2 years.


    anyway...if you keep looking then eventually you will find the one you've been looking for.


    happy hunting...!
    I think that guys think its cool to be a player, or if you are faithful to your boyfriend or girlfriend your a punk or a puss. My brother is gay and he is in a relationship with a good guy but he cheats. Maybe he is just too young to want to be stable. But dont feel bad, lesbians are the same way. Women want booty calls and not the real thing. Good luck on finding the right one for you. Dont settle!
    I don't know..I've been married 20 years..my brother in law 39 years...most of my friends are in long term relationships...maybe you're looking in the wrong places.
    I feel that men are more sexual than women. Also society puts a strain on relationships.
    it's because everybody has such high expectations with their current partner and it really ruins the ';let's-get-to-know-each-other-and-find-o鈥?stage.





    my problem is meeting a guy that likes me.
    I agree with you completely.
    It isn't for me.





    You are generalizing too much buddy.





    And what the heck 'now and days' means?


    Could you mean 'nowaday' ?
    i think you've just been meeting the wrong guys... i have a gay friend who has been happily together with his man for 17 years.. and they are totally in love and happy.





    whether you are gay or not, relationships have to be about trust, communication, and compromise..





    so many people jump right into things with a partner that has totally different wants, needs, goals, values, etc..





    ummm, what exactly is pillow talk? never heard that before..





    but yah, there are guys out here that want to take things slow and let love develop. just gotta keep looking..
    Maybe you should learn to commit to monogamous relationships. Have some kind of ceremony to highlight that commitment. I know. You should be allowed to get married like the rest of us.
    So many men....so little time!

    Do all long distance relationships end up bad?

    My bf is in Jamaica and im in NY. I see him every summer and we spend the two months together. Throughtout the school year i talk to him. We even talk everyday if we have the chance. Im just wondering is this going to work? When we get older we will see each other more but do you think it will end like most? BTW im 13 he is 13Do all long distance relationships end up bad?
    most of those distance relationships end up bad but some others work. so let it give 50-50% depends of the maturity of each other If you believe that this can work out go ahead and give it a try. Nothing to loose. I wish you luck in this adventure.

  • Why do some Christains believe it is wrong to have biracial relationships? Black man and white woman?

    My parents are completely convinced that God is against me being with a black man. Where in the bible can I prove that we are all equal?Why do some Christains believe it is wrong to have biracial relationships? Black man and white woman?
    There is nothing in the bible that promotes racism. Nothing at all! There is nothing wrong with you dating a black man. Here's some proof from the Bible:





    Proof that God does not support racism:


    Acts:10:9-28 (God tells Peter not to call any man unclean)


    Galatians 3:28


    Numbers 12:1-16





    You should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. So date another Christian. He can be of any color.Why do some Christains believe it is wrong to have biracial relationships? Black man and white woman?
    i don't remember where it is in the bible anymore. But it involves adam and his wife before she is called eve. In it they claim in the translation that god is stating it is wrong to date out of ones race. However, there is not DIRECT references its only interpretations. But, there are many references direct and indirect about dating out of one's religion which is considered wrong.





    Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.';(II Corinthians chapter 6, verses 14-18)





    that is the main thing MAJORITY of christians will take over the race/ethicnity.





    Give them time, or you may just end up having to choose between them and him.
    Because of the negative feelings that go along with interracial dating, it is often something that is difficult to overcome. I think you know that morally it is not right to exclude a guy from your consideration simply because he is black. The thing that matters is that a guy will treat you with respect.





    As far as biblical support for your cause, try Leviticus 19:18, Numbers 12, and James 2:1-10.
    We ARE equal...we don't need the bible to prove it...and most importantly, YOU believe that we're equal.


    Also, there's nohing wrong with biracial relationships, and the reason some people are against it, may not be because of christianity, but it's because they're just plain racists..
    lol, they must really be some confused christians....


    My father is black and my mother is white, and they're both Christians, theres nothing wrong with it...


    and there's no reason they should believe that. (not in the bible)


    It's just discrimination from years and years ago.


    God is your priority right?


    (:



    I'm biracial and my parents are practicing catholics so its not the same for all Christians.





    As for the bible part you can point out that Moses was an Israelite/Canaanite and he married a woman from present day Ethiopia.
    I don't know, but I've never heard of such a thing. I have the utmost respect for those who follow a religion, but I can't stand it when they use it as a crutch or an excuse to support claims that aren't true! Good luck finding a passage...
    I've never heard anything like that before in the Bible.





    It sounds like they're using a religion as an excuse to be racist. Just tell them how juvenile that is.

    Your definitely a level-headed, super reasonable teenager. I applaud you.
    you are being reasonable beacuse it just means that you respect yourself more than other people respect thereselves. When you get older then these feelings may change or when you find someone you really like it will.. its not old fashioned or weird your just being sensible which is the good thing to do.
    you are 15 and it's fine you feel that way! All people have different feelings on relationships and general sexuality. As you get older your feelings towards sex might change a little. Be who you are and don't let anyone peer pressure you into thinking you are weird! because you aren't.

    If someone thinks all relationships will die, are they insecure?

    A ';friend'; of mine who has been much more than a friend to me, thinks relationships will die the moment they are created. Is he insecure or could it be more of a psychological thing?





    It's hard to understand because his actions do not match his need to remain ';friends';If someone thinks all relationships will die, are they insecure?
    He's pessimistic and jaded and maybe perhaps insecure. If someone thinks all relationships will die, are they insecure?
    It seems like your friend has difficulty in making himself vulnerable to others. This could stem from a poor conception of self. I would venture to say these individuals are somewhat inhibited in their relationships for fear of being hurt. Generally, they tend to feel more deeply than others when it comes to matters of the heart.
    he is using it as an excuse to get what he wants from you but to not have it go anywhere serious. he is just not that into you

    Love for your brother what you love for yourself~





    What does it really mean to love for others what one loves for oneself? There are two meanings to this hadith.





    Firstly, one should treat others in the same manner that one would like to be treated. For instance, every person loves that he should be treated with respect and honour. He does not like to be mocked or ridiculed, or want anyone to harm his life, dignity and belongings. He should therefore treat others in the same manner. He should not harm anyone in any way or desire any ill for anyone.








    The second aspect that applies is the following: If you were in the next person鈥檚 situation, what would you have desired for yourself. whoever he may be.,What good you would have desired for yourself had you been in his shoes, desire the same for him.
    Appreciate others for who they are and your heart and theirs will always be happy. I try really hard in spite of living in abnormal times.
    See others as yourself.

    How common are polyamorous relationships nowadays?

    in the U.S. i mean





    im watching true life on mtv right now about polyamorous relationships..How common are polyamorous relationships nowadays?
    Not common at all. I've never heard of one and I am 19 years old. This should be a prime age for something like that, right? My guess is that it is only on TV because it is a novelty.





    Right, I understand it's not new, but it is a new idea in OUR society. They still aren't common in American culture. they can't legally marry and besides, doesn't it seem like that relationship would foster all sorts of jealousy issues? I'd hate that part.How common are polyamorous relationships nowadays?
    That just sounds like a disaster in the waiting. Somebody somewhere along that line I think would get upset about something, and then it'd be a mess and then be over.





    Personally, I don't believe in that. It's like accepted cheating. And to throw the Bible around, you are supposed to be with that one person, and no one else at the same time.

    Atheists, What types of relationships do you feel are forbidden?

    Any where consent cannot be given.





    And even then I'm not a fan of incest.Atheists, What types of relationships do you feel are forbidden?
    Bestiality, paedophilia, incest.





    Large age gaps where one person is at least adolescent, but easily taken advantage of- 14 and 24 for example.





    Someone with learning difficulties with someone who is okay, but treats the first person badly because they're controlling. I have no issue with two people with learning difficulties having a relationship and even having kids if they're given the assistance they require to cope with a child.





    Basically anything where the power balance is all off. Animals, children, young teenagers and those with certain learning difficulties are taken advantage of or physically hurt so easily- not to mention the fact that having sex with animals is weird. Plus, incest is wrong because of the way we're raised with our family members, and of course there's all the genetic issues.Atheists, What types of relationships do you feel are forbidden?
    Any relationship that is not consensual, does not hold up to prevailing secular standards, and that is only in the interest of one person.
    any relationships where one partner can't really give consent. if one party is way too young, if one is non-speaking, animal, child, anything like that.
    ';forbidden?';


    by law: Animals, Children, relatives, and some Mentally Ill people (especially amongst the elderly)...
    Any relationship that separates us from the love of God the Father.





    Any relationship that we put before our commitment to God the Father.
    Ones that have a huge age gap.

    I'm against any relationship that doesn't involve consenting adults. Within that restriction, anything is permitted.

    Anything Mrs. The Reverend Soleil (and her frying pan) says is forbidden...
    Disney toons shouldn't associate with Loony Toons... Who Framed Roger Rabbit is an abomination!
    A ';personal'; relationship with ';God';!

    within the same family


    any type in which one person is being forced into the relationship
    Bestiality

    What does atheism have to do with it?
    pedophilia, bestiality and incest
    Bestiality. There is no love in that.
    You should be able to do whatever you want
    What do you think are forbidden and why?
    Any that result in harm
    Homosexuality, bestiality, adultery, fornication etc, etc. And any that cause harm %26amp; fear.
    None. Relationships are what make us human.

    What are some good questions to ask your boyfriend about past relationships?
    There is nothing you should ask. You should learn to respect his privacy. You wouldn't want anyone else to dig your past up right? He might feel bad if you ask but he doesn't want to talk about it.





    Don't abuse his love of you to make him answer your question.





    When he love you enough he'll come clean to you or tell you his stories himself. That is when a man trust a woman, thats when you are significant to him.
    there are no good guestions
    Hmm...this sounds like a ';Popularity Contest.'; If you are asking him he will tell you he is a great guy because he is his biggest fan. If you ask past girlfriends, something happened to break them up so they have an unpopular opinion, in most cases.


    So you want your opinion to be the extension of someone else's opinion, is what you are saying. I agree, you should enter this fresh and new and let the relationship develope of its own, and your opinion that emerges based on the experiences revealed from that relationship, not from someone else's turmoil.
    unless his past relations are interfering with yurs and his, you maybe shouldnt ask him that because it would make him feel uncomfortable possibly.

    It is not a good idea to talk about past relationships.


    What happened in past relationships does not concern you.


    It is no one elses business.


    Enjoy what you have and trust each other.





    Take care!


    Happy New Year.
    he will tell you only what he wants you too know... so until your getting VERY serious in a relationship.... I don't think I would go there, very deep anyway.





    Short of... when was the last time you .XXXX and have you had STD tests to prove your clean...
    why did he break up with her?
    Be like what other friends of mine have u done
    Why did your past relationship fail, what happened? It will move on from there.

    Do you discuss past relationships with your bf/gf?

    I've been with my guy for almost a year and most everything is awesome. The only thing I worry about is the fact that we haven't spoken a word about past relationships.





    I never ask because I don't really want him to know about how promiscuous I've been in the past. At the same time I want to know about his exes, the type of relationships they were in and why they ended.





    Is it weird that we are holding this back from each other?Do you discuss past relationships with your bf/gf?
    I don't think it is necessary to share every detail, but knowing about someones past can really help you understand them better. For example, I know that my boyfriend had only one serious girlfriend prior to me, and when he revealed to me that she had cheated on him several times throughout their relationship while he was away at school and within the first week that she'd gone away to school, it helped me to understand why he was so apprehensive and insecure when I went away for my first year of university. Other things that we have both revealed, details on our previous relationships about the experiences we had, what we'd learned and how we'd changed from our past and how its helped us develop into who we are. It is a fact of life that your past shapes you in many different ways.





    When he told me that he was only with her for so long after he found out she'd cheated on him so much because he was used to her, it helped me to understand another part of his personality, about how he just didn't know how to handle it. I think it has also helped him to work out some of his issues left over from that serious break up by talking to someone who he loved and felt completely invested in and trusted. I am sure that the revelations of my past have helped him understand more about me, and what to be sensitive to in our relationship as I now am towards him about certain thingsDo you discuss past relationships with your bf/gf?
    Have you forgiven yourself for your past mistakes? If not, you need to resolve that issue on your own, or else it will haunt your relationship and hinder you from moving forward.





    Your boyfriend sees you for who you are now. If he ever wants to know what occurred in the past, you can be honest without giving too much information. However, you need to be completely honest about any health risks you may be carrrying, such as STD's you currently have or have had before, so you don't put him in danger.





    Why is it important for you to know what his former lovers were like? What might you possibly learn from this? His relationships probably ended for a variety of reasons - he wasn't right for those girls, they weren't right for him, the timing was bad, etc. Aren't you glad that they ended? I think it is unwise to press for answers to such questions unless you're talking about a previous marriage or a broken engagement.
    Some guys don't like it. My current boyfriend didn't really like hearing about my exes. But before we even started dating we both talked about our past relationships. It was a pretty casual conversation and it wasn't awkward for either of us. But I think it has really helped us in the long run because we both know why we act the way we do in certain situations because of our past experiences. Plus, learning about his exes also helped me to know what he didn't want in a girlfriend.





    If I were you and you want to know about it, I would bring it up. And if you have been with this guy for a year he obviously loves you and will understand that your past is your past, not your present or your future.
    Yes I have talked about only my last relationship because it made me a wreck and I needed someone to talk to about it that would be on my side. I stopped talking about the past after a few months because I knew he wouldnt want me to go on and on about the past.


    It is ok not to talk about the past. And if you DO talk about the past make it quick and unemotional.





    As a woman only tell him you have slept with 4 other men MAX if he ever asks. Pick the ones you had the longest relationships to count as your 4. Men do not want to hear their GF or wife was with more than 4 men sexually. You can tell him how many BFs you had but only choose the top 4 as the ones you claim you had sex with.





    It is not weird holding back. You need to look forward and not back. As long as he is over his ex and doesnt talk to them now then thats all you really need to know.
    You write: Do you discuss past relationships with your bf/gf?





    No. Absolutely not. Such discussions only cause trouble.





    If your partner brings it up, say that you love him and are looking forward to a bright future with him. The past no longer matters.





    As long as both of you are healthy . . . as in no STD's . . . then there is absolutely no need to discuss the past.
    After only a year, no. I mean, since you've both been sexually active before I would hope that SOME information was shared, but the details aren't necessary.





    My husband and I by now have glossed over all of our past relationships, but we've been together for so long now they hardly matter.
    dont ask directly about the women, you could say hey have you ever gone roller skating on a date? or have you ever been embarrassed on a date? but nothing sexual, he might clam up.


    then tell him some silly things you did, no intimate details.


    men hate the 3'rd degree, so you have to take it slow.
    The past is the past not the future right?


    When the time is right you will both talk about it together.


    if you are that Curious then ask him, sit down with him and talk.You both need to be open about it, and cant get mad at each other, again the past is the past.
    It's not strange to want to keep personal things personal but I would say that if you see your relationship going further or want to know about his past exes then you should be just as willing to share with him should he ask.





    Relationships are about trust and comunication.
    I think I would keep the past in the past. The only thing that really would concern me is if either of you has any std's that could be passed on to each other. Both of you should be tested.
    not weird at all! we've been together for two years and he HATES talking about his ex. and i asked and found out i really didn't want to know...

    NO!!! You should really try to avoid the conversation! It can drive a wedge between you two!





    From experience this is a very UNCOMFORTABLE conversation!
    id like to open up more about it but my boyfriend doest.... he always says why does that matter???? when we do it kinda leads to fights
    The past is the past,so leave it behind.
    kinda of just some ppl do talk about it some ppl dont
    As soon as we both realised it was getting serious we had an ';ask me anything you like about previous boyfriends / girlfriends'; chat over a bottle of wine. I would also have been more than happy not to have known anything if he hadn't wanted to tell me, What's in the past can't be changed, so there's no point in getting upset over it, As long as he was prepared to make a future with me that was all I cared about.
