My girlfriend of about a year is a huge theatre lover and Harry Potter fan. She also loves practical gifts, and she definitely leans towards the feminine side. She's very picky with what she wears, so clothes are out of the questions if I want her to like it. So what are any gift ideas I should get her?

She's a musical theatre major in University, if that helps.

So every time I go by adult superstores, they are advertising shoes of some sort? Are they like.... sexual shoes or just kinky like really high heels? Or are they normal shoes, and you can go and like buy a pair of pumas in there? Thanks!

I live in Tennessee and my Chevy Blazer (1994) seems like it has a leaky heater core. When turn on the heat, smoke comes comes out, and when I turn the heat off, there is no more smoke. Also, anti freeze leaks into the passenger side. I don't want to ruin my car... is it safe to drive it for a day more? Also, what would be the best plan of action? I'm a poor college student, so I can't afford much. Would it be worth it to replace it? I don't need heat... but still, how much would it cost? I also read something about tying off a hose from the radiator to stop the anti freeze leak. How much would that cost at a mechanic, and is it safe if I don't use heat?

My girlfriend of a year and a half likes to read and write. She also loves music with a passion. I have a budget of 100 dollars and I want to get her something cool and usable yet something I can personalize and make sentimental. I was going to get her an e-reader and fill it with scanned love notes I had written her in the past, along with a few pictures of her and I, but I found out that her parents are getting her an e-reader already, and so I'm kind of lost. I had a few ideas, but what are some cool things I could get her that involve reading, writing, or music all within that budget?

So I've been with my first girlfriend for about a year and a half and I'm very serious in regards to our future. We are a very good couple, and I have no desire to "test the waters" and see what other women are like (why would I if I'm happy?). We never have serious fights, and we are still very sweet with each other.

I am her third serious boyfriend, and she is very happy in our relationship.

Obviously, with both of us very happy and in love, we are looking at the eventual possibility of marriage. But my main question is does this happen often? Do people often marry their first girlfriend or boyfriend happily?

Dis they have horses?

Have you ever broken up with a person because of some sort of issue and then truly regretted your decision?

I'm trying to book a flight to visit my family back home but I'm not sure of where to look. I miss them a lot, but it seems I can't really afford to fly home. Is there a place I can look for student discount flights? A website of some sort?

I'm in a long distance relationship and my girlfriend and I are talking. We really love each other and have been together a year and half prior to my moving. I guess I just need some more encouragement. Any successful long distance relationship stories out there? I always hear how hard they are and how often they fail it's discouraging. What's your story?

This is a serious question, not a troll. How does the theory of evolution explain male and female? A friend and I were discussing evolution and natural selection in a class about Darwin, and this was the point brought up.

The common "scientific" explanation on the origins of life is that we all evolved from a single cell organism. However, why would we evolve to rely on another gender to pass our genes in order to survive, while most single cell organisms are asexual anyway. It seems that being asexual and reproducing from yourself would be the best way to survive.

It seems the only way possible for this to have occurred is if TWO single cell organisms were created in roughly the same area at the same time and evolved into the same species. Obviously the chances of this are very slim. And even in this case, there really wouldn't be a benefit to having a sexual partner.

Is there simply no current answer for the origins of the sexes? Or is there a reason?

Going away to college about 3 weeks ago placed me and my girlfriend into a long distance relationship. We have been dating a year and a half prior. Now I wont say things are great because I haven't been able to see her, but we haven't had any trust issues or anything like that.

I moved to nashville to start up a life in the music business. Thinking about our relationship, I thought that would be the perfect place for us, because her passion is music and the music scene is huge here. Now she's concerned she might not like it down here when she comes for college next year. She is having doubts because she will miss her family and will live so far away (we are from Michigan, about 11it hour drive).

I already know she will love it here... so without having her visit, how can I make her comforted besides words? Any creative ideas?

I drive a 1996 chevy blazer. I've noticed that the rpm meter (tachometer?) Needle is shaking slightly as I accecelerate. Sometimes, the needle will jump up when im at a stop, like im giving it gas but im not. What could be the problem? Im afraid I might end up on the side of the road broken down soon. The first thing that comes to mind is the fuel pump, but those tend to just work or not work. So what is it?

This is from a simple physical perspective. Be truthful. Don't worry, my ego is already built up so high that the wrecking balls of honesty won't even make a dent. Plus this is simply for curiosity sake. I've been told I was a 9 by my gal friends. But that included personality in the package. So based on physical looks, what am I on a scale of 1-10? Oh, and I'm 5' 11" with a masculine build, if that means anything to you.

Oh, and you're welcome.

So I am currently in a long distance relationship after heading down to college. I love my girlfriend very much and plan on being with her. I want to make it clear that my intentions are simply to JUST BE FRIENDS with other girls. So, onto the rest.

Something I've noticed to be quite peculiar about college is that no one has friends. I struggle to find people I get along with as well as I did back with my high school buddies. I also have no gal pals. For me, having a girl to talk to face to face is almost mandatory. I've talked to girls since elementary and they have usually been my best of friends. It's not romance that I'm looking for, I'm just trying to find someone to hang out with who has that female perspective on things.

I had run into one girl in the beginning of orientation who I got along with pretty well, and figured her to be a friend, but I tried to contact her since and she kind of seemed scared away. I figured this was because of a confusion that maybe she thought I was attempting to flirt with her.

My question is how do I make gal pals without seeming like I am interested in the romantically? I don't want to scare away any more people that I get along with, and I also don't want to break any hearts. Advice?

I recently made the mistake of wiping off my fretboard of my gibson les paul custom with a polish cloth and I realized that I probably should put some more on. What kind should I get if I need to? Or is it ruined? Please help! Thanks!

I recently sold my friend my old computer. Right after he got it, it started to freeze and shut down without any error messages or anything. The screen went froze and got a little glitchy, and then the computer just shut off. This was familiar to me because I had the same problem just a few months earlier, which I fixed with a simple cleaning. The motherboard told me that the processor was overheating.

Now I wasn't able to disable the BIOS message that said the processor was overheated, so when I sold it to him it had that error message. So we aren't certain that the processor is the problem, but we are pretty sure.

Since I figured there might of been a problem with the thermal grease due to the cleaning and fooling around near the heatsink and cpu, he managed to change that. Since, the computer was able to run a day or so, but recently it just had the same problem of overheating and shutting down, even with all the attempts to clean and switch things.

Unfortunately this is the only information I currently have available. Is there any way to cool the processor down? Or is a setting off in the BIOS were it does an emergency shutoff at a much cooler temperature than needed? Or is it even the processor at all? Please help!

My girlfriend and I have been dating for a little under a year and a half. I love everything about her, and I think she's a beautiful person. Recently she opened up to me about her faith. I am a Christian, personally, and she tells me that she believes in A god, but she's not sure what's real.

She was raised in a Catholic family that's religious (goes to church and catacysm), but they don't really support the faith in their lifestyle. In other words, they go just because they think they have to or out of habit.

She also had a recent experience with her best friend, who became a born again Christian, but immediately after became carried away with a boy and started to become very arrogant, using her new found faith to try and win arguments, or make my girlfriend feel guilty. This is also topped with various other drama surrounding her friend's church group, acting in various inappropriate ways.

My girlfriend has all Christian qualities in her lifestyle and the way she believes to live (love everyone and everything, help others, etc), and she is plays at her church, but I feel the only thing holding her back to believe in Jesus Christ is her experience with her friends and family, who really didn't convey at all about what Christian faith is about.

At this point I've figured to love her as I feel I am called to, but at the same time, I have a fear that she may altogether reject my faith with hostility, which could result in arguments with the way we raise our children. I guess I'm just at a loss of what to do. I love her, but at the same time, I love my God and creator. Although I would love to share this love with her, I don't know how to approach it without being pushy and stuff. I just want to love her, but I'm just afraid we will have future problems with our family (should we make it that far). Has anyone else had to deal with such a situation? If you have, what did you do? Are you still together? Did it work out?

And please don't harass me on my faith. I believe what I believe, and I have every right to do so.

P.S. We have not had sex and we don't intend to anytime soon. And by anytime soon, I mean marriage.

Also I would appreciate answers from people who have dealt with a similar situation personally. I don't want any "You're putting religion before love" stuff, because I'm obviously not for the simple fact that I'm still dating her and am considering marriage. At the same time, I would appreciate avoiding answers from the polar opposite saying "You can't be together unless you're both Christians!". While I somewhat understand the logic of that answer, it's not constructive.

Remember, I'm not asking for your opinion on whether or not we should stay together. Just because a few internet junkies tell me to doesn't mean I'm going to break up with her. I'm asking for personal experience and stories. Anyone?
