Hello yahoo answerers, I come to you tonight with a question. There is a story behind it, so get ready.

This is about relationships, and what they consist of.

So I come here wondering what you do in your relationships, and even past relationships that you may have had. See I have only been in 1 relationship with a girl, its lasted about 1.3 years, and im still currently in it. No disrespect to her, so if she reads this. I’m sorry but it’s just a question that needs to be asked because I am wondering.

So, here is my question. What do you do with your partners? Really, what do you do? Do you listen to music together, if so do you have different tastes in music? But agree on certain music and emerge into each other’s tastes and styles? Do you dance? If so how did you break the ice with dancing, or was it just a natural thing. For me, I don’t have any problem dancing in front of my s.o but maybe you do, if so could you try to explain why? Even if its something you have to think about for a while. I would really like info on this. My girlfriend does not want to dance with me. She has in the past, with other people (her sisters, prom date, and even me once but that’s all)

Also, what else do you do with each other? I’m interested in what 21st century relationships are like. Any age range. Any genders. No limitations. That’s all I have to ask. Hope to hear some good answers from some of you.

- Kevin

i feel really bad for posting this here on yahoo answers..

but im not sure what else to do.

there are some pretty "serious" circumstances with this relationship, they go wayyy back into the end of middle school..

alrightt so ill start telling this little story i call my relationship.

i met her in 8th grade after moving to virginia from florida, we were both two very different people compared to the people at our school here in va. shes a navy brat thats lived in a bunch of diff places. We hit it off instantly and did things in school to piss our teachers off, lit hot glue sticks on fire and glue desks together.. a bunch of things middle school punks would do. so we were friends until the beginning of 9th grade then we started dating. i broke up with her after 6 months of dating on april fools day D: yeah i know its kinda messed up.

we didnt talk for 3 years, i moved to a different part of the city and went to a different school. i changed a lot in her and my opiinion. im clearly not the same person. but she is. maybe a little bit older, but for the most part hasnt grown up too much.

Im 19 now and we've been dating again for a little over 6 months.

This is my dilemma.

-- she is madly in love with me now, and tells me she wants to be with me forever occasionaly and really likes spending time with me. im cool with that. i lost my v card to her, she lost hers before me. I want to be with other women though, i see girls at the bookstore and just anywhere and they look interesting and id really like to get to know someone else. i really do value our relationship and i do love her. but i dont think i want to be with her forever, its just something i cant picture myself doing. my life isn't exactly going in the direction i want it to go right now, but im working with my dad a lot and i am gonna start saving up to move away maybe a year from now. i dont know where i want to go, but i dont want to live here in the u.s anymore. i want to travel a little bit and find a place to chill out for a while and meet different women from all different cultures. women are very interesting to me and i just love them. IM 19 YEARS OLD! i dont think i should be tied down to one girl. i should get out there and be meeting women even if its just as friends. i am cool with that. i just miss having friends that are girls..

So i know, the obvious thing for an answerer to say would be; well break up with her.. its not that easy. ive tried breaking up with her and i instantly feel really bad, i change my mind while breaking up with her and i tell her i dont actually want to. its happened twice in the past month. i feel really horrible about it and ive kinda been treating her like sh*t lately..

so what should i do guys and girls?

its so hard!!!!

I'll try to keep this short and sweet..

I have a wonderful girlfriend whom i love very much. We have so much fun when were together, and we are alike in so many ways. We've known eachother for almost 6 years now. We dated in 9th grade but that ended due to some things i said about her parents. We're now dating again and we've been dating for almost six months now.

We both love eachother and i know this is true.

But.

During my senior year in high school i moved to a new place where i had no friends and spent a lot of time reading and developing my mind. I studied sociology, health, countries around the world, cultures, spanish and portuguese. These things ive studied have made me really want to explore the world. Or really just latin america for the most part. Not only do i want tol explore these places, i want to move there and live there for a while, if not for the rest of my life. They have such a better way of life in my opinion. It is just so much more favorable than the life im living now. Work, go home sleep start over. I know im not the only one who thinks living like this is harmful to my health and state of mind. Its modern day slavery in my eyes.

So what do i do? Do i stay with her, and never know whats out there.. never see for myself the life i could be living? Or do i go? Leave her, and maybe never come back.. Its really hard for me because she has never done anything wrong to me, and done nothing but treat me well. and she deserves the same in return, and thats what i give her. I just dont think other guys would and i would hate to see her end up with an axxhole that doesnt treat her with the respect she deserves......

So i would really like some input onb this for i have been waging this war in my head for a while, and i still fight it everyday...

Thanks for reading :)

seriously, im sitting here on the computer and the only thing on tv is ******* porn. are you serious? its really pissing me off.. why is the only thing on tv anymore, just about sex. Don't get me wrong, i like having sex with my girlfriend.. but watching it on tv? you've got to be kidding me.. i know a lot about psychology and the way the brain works.. what appeals to peoples senses.. but c'mon mann sex is like the only thing anything is directed towards now a days.. it makes me ******* sick.. anybody got anything to say about this? someone wanna stand up for these tv stations that hire these directors to make this crap?

and ya know what.. i understand, yes.. hollywood is all about that.. directors living in mansions having a bunch of girls over the house partying, drugs, sex yeah yeah yeah.. you get it..

I'd think these directors would have something else on their minds..

i have a good voice for music like one republic, u2, maroon 5, john mayer.. just chill stuff like that..

i have friends who play instruments like drums, electric guitars and i know plenty of people in bands i know tons of ppl like that.. ive just never sung or anything like that.. maybe i should try coming up with a song or something first before i go tell someone. i dont wanna be in a band or anything like that i just want to sing in bars.. although i tear up when i start singing for some reason.. its weird.. i always have ever since i was a kid. and im 18 now. id have to sing with glasses on lol what do you guys think i should do. no one around here is into music like that but i am should i just stick to singing with the radio or what cuz honestly idk. ive never really had any instrumental talent

ok so i just started going back out with a girl i went out with 4 years ago.. we started back up october 9th. we hadn"t talked since i broke up with her on april fools day of 08. we're 18 now. i broke up with her before cuz we werent allowed to see eachother anymore cuz of her parents saying so. there was never really any closure and it was really a bloody break up for her. i know its horrible to end it like that we still loved each other i just couldnt go without seeing her so i had to do it.

So anyways.. now we're going back out. she s the only girl ive ever really loved and ive told her this. we've both changed and thats fine we both know this about eachother.. so she tells me she loves me now and idk if she really does. i told her i loved her last tuesday..

i just dont know if she does.. i dont know how she feels.. everything goes so smoothly and everything is cool between us.. im just clueless.. am i just blind to how people feel? am i stuck in my own head? i dont think i am but its possible.. do i need to try and step outside of how i feel? i am a buddhist and i am a very deeply emotionally run person.. i know about the power of love and understanding.. i just dont know if this is love.. are my expectations of love unrealistic? i always thought love would be a warm feeling inside of me.. a strong desire to want to be with the person.. when im not with her time goes by so slowly.. seriously yesterday was the longest day of my life and im not just saying that to be saying it.. can anyone tell me whats going on? i need some help cuz i really dont want to hurt her.. i care about her beyond belief and i know what shes been through and i understand that all she wants in life is to be in love and be loved and i dont want to deprive her of that if i cant give that to her.. i do love her but im not sure what love really is.. someone help me please

Maybe im the only one who has noticed this, but lately the words that seem to be in every advertisement now a days are - revolution, and social.

Its really aggravating when i hear companies use these words. They have no idea what they mean at all, and are completely re-defining them to the american public whether you like it or not.

The word social for example, its on billboards, tv ads, the radio.. etc..

The things that they are being associated with have nothing to do with being social. I understand facebook blew up the word social, and its now a "popular" word. Which is ******* stupid. How can you blow up a word like that and have every other company use it too? It makes no sense. But somehow people are buying their dumb products anyways because of the way they advertise their products with little catchy phrases.

The other word.

Revolution. WOW. I cannot believe they are even allowed to use this word the way they do. I understand nobody owns the rights to this word, but damn. They are using it for phones, cars, and just about any other new product out there these days.

This word blew up when the real REVOLUTIONS in the middle east started occurring. Its really just hijacking the word, and making you think of something totally different when you see the word revolution. Just making the american public more vulnerable to being completely brainwashed, and having no clue what the hell is going on in the world. Oh and while all you people are buying these products making these corporations richer and richer. The fatass CEO's will keep piling up their money and when our economy completely collapses, the government completely falls apart, and your out on your *** stuck with no water or electricity. You will have already been sold. By buying these products you feel so much more advanced and in touch with everyone. When in reality your not, your distancing yourself away from them and becoming a mindless robot that has no social skills, no real friends, and no way to get your own food to survive when the **** hits the fan. You will be no better than those second and third world countries that you feel so much better than with all this distracting technology. People need to seriously wake up, or actually.. stay asleep. You probably couldn't handle reality anyways. Just know that the CEO's of all these corps will be on vacation for the rest of their lives and will be long gone away from this place when it all goes down. They will take all their money and move to another country and live out the rest of their lives not even looking back on what they did to this country. They didn't care before, and they never will.

So if anybody has any feedback or comments on this i'd love to hear them.

-krhcp!

Where do i even start?...

I'm 18 right now, i live with my dad and my little brother.

I'm so different from them its like im from a different world.

Right now, im going to be working with my dad doing some painting for a while, until i save up about $1,000 dollars. Then i'm either going to move to Utah with my friend that is actually moving there in about a week. I was going to move with him at the same time. But my dad advised that i spend my money on some things, I had 400 dollars saved from my job that i had a while ago and i was going to use that money for a plane ticket and maybe food for a few weeks. I was gonna start loking for a job as soon as i got there, but now im not gonna be able to move there for a while and it sucks.

My other option now, which was actually my first option until Utah came up. I'm really interested in Latin America. Every single day i think about it, basically every minute of the day im thinking about it. I want to go there so badly its almost a drag knowing that i cant be there and im stuck here for now. Maybe its just some strange fantasy or something, but i really want my life to be mega relaxed. I dont want to worry about politics or any of that stuff, it kills me inside.

Here is what i really really want out of my life.

I want to move to a spanish speaking place. I want to find a beautiful girl that i can really connect with. I want to live in a small house. And i want to surf every single day.

I dont think its really that much to ask for. I dont care about having tons of money, cause if i did i would stay right where im at. Go to college and become a lawyer or an accountant. I dont want to do that though man, i just wanna take life slowly.

I do plenty of reading and just things by myself right now, i'm a very social person if im hanging out with people, i just choose not to hang out with people all the time because i want to really focus on learning. I'm probably not gonna go to college, so educating myself is important to me and i will continue to do that wherever life takes me. I just want to do it somewhere else.

So do you guys think what i want is unreal and i shouldn't do it? Maybe just grow up and go to college and find a job? I really dont want to do that, because that life style is just so overplayed and predictable. I really want to make this life my own, and know that im doing what ive always dreamed of doing. Thanks for reading and hopefully replying with some good info and help on my situation. Adios!

i didnt watch any of it but i have noticed the infamy of the trial now that its over, and it is really hinting something to me.

i have done hours and hours of studying sociology and psychology and i have a good amount of knowledge on how the law works. I see how something like this could be presented as a real case to the public the way it has been.

I dont want to come off as a conspirator because thats not what i am, i am just going to bring up valid points.

First off it is publicized so much on tv, and magazines - the media.

the media has taken complete control over this case and has blown it up to the extremes. It is literally on every single day.

Second, with this generation coming up watching shows like CSI, Criminal Minds, and detective shows like that. This type of case would be perfect to aspire any future lawyer of america, which is practically what we try to breed here. This case could possibly make some teenager shape his views on the world and come up with the idea that the world has no justice or some type of outlook like that. Now the kid might want to go to law school and serve this country and provide "justice" to criminals like casey anthony. You get what im saying..

Third there is no evidence to anything. I mean seriously, its just people coming up with stories. A few pictures were provided of the little girl, but nothing too set in stone about her actual existence. Maybe the girl never even existed.

The point im trying to make is, you people have fallen into this trap of a case. There was no outcome that had anything to do with justice because this lady was just made famous and maybe thats all she ever wanted. Believe it or not there have been people in history that do these types of things and just want the attention. She will be doing no hard time because nothing ever happened.

Nobody was ever paying attention to this little girl and her mom before, and all of a sudden they show up in the spotlight. This could soooooo easily all be fake and just be entertainment to a lot of you people that watch tv and have nothing else to watch. Which is CLEARLY what it is. ENTERTAINMENT. People gossip about it, and maybe there will be a few people who get into the field now.

im kinda bored right now, and im just thinking about things.

what would a girl do, or how would she react if i walked by and said hi to her.

for example, i see girls in the bookstore all the time who are by themselves searching through the aisles for a good book. when i walk by they always look over and smile at me, but i dont know what to do for real. its easy to say just walk up to them and say hi, but who really does that? its the bookstore.

when would it be appropriate to say something to someone who is out in public like that?

i'll be moving to brazil in october and im wondering what exact requirements i will need to live there. i am turning in my passport application saturday morning and i'd like to know what else i will need to get there and stay there legally. should i talk to the people at the post office about visas and other stuff i will need? also i know im going to need to get a few vaccinations, not sure exactly which ones i have to get though.any help or info on the stuff listed above would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Okay, so right now I'm living with my best friends family, I'm 18 years old and I feel fresh and ready to go out and explore.

I have to get a job here though before I do because my family has no money to support my traveling.

I will be getting a heating and air conditioning job for this summer, and I hope to save up a few thousand dollars. I'm not just going on a vacation though, I'm moving away from the united states, I will probably end up in puerto rico with my friend though first. (she lives there)

I would like to live in south america or spain. I have done lots of research online and have read a few books at the bookstore. I still can't narrow down one country that I would like to live in though. So far I'm stuck on brazil, and argentina for some odd reason. I really like what brasil has to offer but argentina just sounds like a very exciting place to live. I was raised in miami so I already have a hispanic back round, but nobody around me seems to understand me as far as my thinking goes. I like to sum things up a lot and I have already predicted my life here in the usa and I truly believe it would suck. I'm just not interested in the things this country has to offer. One example, I love real soccer. And here in the u.s its this football crap, and its all just a bunch of whiny little babies complaining about how much money they deserve. Its kinda sad to be honest. It rubs off on the people here too. I'm completely interested in latin culture and will be living it pretty soon, I just have to put my mind to it and not fall into this society. Even before I knew I wanted to leave the us. I started making drastic changes In my life. I was 300 pounds and one day I feel like I woke up from this place and realized what I had gotten myself into. I lost over 100 pounds, and have completely turned my life around. I was getting bad grades in school, then when I woke up I started getting better grades. I was also distancing myself from high school curriculum though. I was

Hello everyone, im interested in living in these wonderful islands. Im not just looking for a nice vacation getaway, i currently live in the USA. Im about to graduate from high school in 2 weeks and i just moved out of my dads house this week. Ive been through a lot of family problems, and these things have affected me but i feel my mind is now clear and im ready to move on and not look back. I've witnessed and lived through tough and great economic times and the money is truly only temporary. I was raised in miami florida, and was poor. then i moved to virginia beach virginia and then my mom and dad had a fair amount of money. then they had a lot of money and my mom left and took it. Ive been at the top and bottom of the slide as far as thats concerned and that has affected me a lot. I actually liked it the most when we had little to no money. I feel like those were actually my favorite times. I dont care much for money and i know here in the united states thats what fuels everything. i want to get away from that. so what i wont have a lot of money somewhere and ill be barely getting by. Id rather work to live then live to work.

So now i am making my decision.

i have a friend in puerto rico who has said i should come down there for a while and see if i like it.

if i cant get any other reccomendations on a good island to live on then i will go there.

The things i want out of living in the caribbean are -

- nice warm beaches at night where i can just kick back with a drink in one hand and a beautiful girl in the other.

- maybe some jungles that i can go through.

- a good culture that has pride in the way they live, and they know they are living a good life.

- a place that isnt a huge tourist area, i want to become a true local. for i have lived in miami and va beach which are both tourist areas in my eyes.

thats really all i want. im not gonna save up a bunch of money just in case something happens and i want to come back, im just gonna go. call me stupid or whatever but this is what i want and will learn from this experience as i go.

thank you for reading, hope you have a place in mind for me.

PEACE!

hey everyone, I'm a senior in high school right now. Im about to graduate in 3 weeks. I really would like to travel for a little bit, maybe even re-locate myself to another country for a few years. I guess you could say I've had a rough childhood, and i really just would like to get away fro a little bit. I have a job lined up in a few weeks, and i'll probably do that until maybe september. But i wanna be outta the US and either in a tropical place where i can surf, or in canada where i can go snowboarding and see how they live up there. I would like to save up maybe 2 or 3 thousand dollars then just go. I will be getting my passport this summer. Do you guys think this would be a good idea? I want to go to college too, but ive been in school my whole life so far, and I'd really like to take a break for a year or two. I wanna go to college for sociology so i think this would also help me, so i can get a better understanding of viewpoints of people from other countries.

Any input or any suggestions of what i should do would be helpful - thanks!

I'm so bored. I hate being bored like this its a saturday night, I should be out doing something! I would say all my friends, but I don't have any friends anymore. I moved out to sandbridge in virginia beach thinking it was gonna be so fun! I let my dad talk me into this bullshxt. Its my senior year of high school, which is basically over. I've got 3 weeks left. I had to move to a different school, I still don't know anybody here and its been 9 months. I walk around the halls like a ghost. I can't stand it at all. I just feel like exploding in anger! this isn't me at all. I've changed so much and so have my old friends, they all forgot about me and I know it will never be the same again. I'm moving out of my dads house in 10 days and going back to my old neighborhood. And living with the only friend I have left in this world. I can't wait. This isn't a question at all, more like me just telling you guys my problems. But can someone just talkj to me and say something.. Thanks

i dont smoke weed that often anymore, but i have a long history of smoking every 2 or 3 weeks. i was never an everyday smoker or anything like that. i used to work out a lot, running lifting weights. but i stopped doing that for some odd reason when i stopped smoking. anyways, im 18 and when i graduate in mid june this year im gonna have a job interview probably the following week after. the guy hasnt said anything about a drug test but im pretty sure he'll have to give me one, its just the way things are around here. im gonna smoke probly this weekend. but after that im juuts gonna chill out and stop for a while atleast until i find out if its cool with my boss/ doesnt drug test me. Im moving out of my house in 2 weeks and going to live with my friend. so i'll be working out more often, and drinking tons of water. will 20 days be long enough to get the stuff out of my system with the way i will be working out and drinking?

if not can anyone recommend a detox or something like that? i really need this job, its the only way i can start becoming a responsible adult.

thanks!

Okay , so ive been really into philosophy, sociology, and psychology lately and its got me thinking all the time and i love it. Unfortunately i dont think the people around me like it too much. But anyways one example or theory ive come up with is something that kinda digs deep. Its something that a lot of people could have been rewired to do and i think its fascinating how this could and apparently does work.

Okay, so this is it. I had a girlfriend back in 9th grade who at the time was very "emo" and had suicidal thoughts that's she sometimes told me about. I know that takes a lot to be able to tell someone about and usually has gotten to a serious point when ytour telling someone about it. There is nothing wrong with talking about your thoughts and problems but i understand how much it takes to open up to someone like that and talk about such serious things. These things could have been going on for a while and for her they were, i wont go into detail but her dad wasn't exactly there for her. So anyways, she was introduced to religion by her parents, she was an atheist at the time or maybe she just didn't really get into religion the way she has now. She has shown a drastic improvement in quality of life and seems a lot happier now. Good for her, but here is my question.

Does religion really put meaning into peoples lives, where before religion they had "nothing to live for, or no real meaning?" If so, then a good example of this was in the movie 'The Book Of Eli' when the leader of that town was looking for the bible so he could put meaning into peoples lives and get them to do what he wanted to maintain power and create a powerful order over his people.

Im not very religious at all because i like to have a general overview of all religions and not just associate myself with one religion. I know how powerful religion is, but if i had to claim a religion, i would have to claim buddhism it seems that is the only religion that doesn't suck you in completely and you still are constantly thinking about things. Instead of a religion like christianity, where people constantly talk about "turning their lives over to god"

I'd like to get an opinion or anything form a person who doesn't favor a certain religion because thats what they believe in, i respect all religions but i would like an answer from someone who knows a good amount about religions and the power that comes with it. Thanks!

ive been thinking about moving to yucatan.. is there some local things i should know about? or just things i wont find out about on the internet.. also, its only gonna be me so how much money should i bring? in US dollars of course, i'll get them exchanged but i just would like to know how much i should bring to get all the way down there.. i know it will take a while but it would be a really fun adventure. i dont plan on getting a visa or anything i just wanna go there and work under the table for someone. i dont want a high paying job or anything im talking about living on bare minimum. money to pay the rent, food, and whatever i feel like doing. im 18 and im ready for this so please dont tell me about the drug war going on there or any murders.. i know plenty about that

i feel like i sometimes cant get the words right, or just cant put my sentences together correctly.. so much is going on in my mind all the time i just dont know how to explain myself the right way when i start talking..

Is it something to do with sentence structure? or grammar? i have no idea.. someone help..

now this is gonna sound crazy to some people on here, but let me explain to you what i can.. i'll try to break it down by using examples so some can understand it better..

it may seem like im rambling a bit, but its only because i see the vision but dont know how to explain it all the way.

okay, first its about the earth and what will soon come if the united states government doesnt step in and start caring about the earth. right now our country is so focused on greed, that we are blind to what is going on around us. the disasters that are becoming worse and worse every minute we stand-by and do nothing about them.

okay heres my theory..

]the government is about to give the super rich tax breaks so they wont have to put back the money they made off of the people back into the country. its an absolute horrible idea and will only make the rich richer and the poor poorer. see whats going to happen, and is already happening is the middle class of america is declining and poverty rates in america are extremely high(not compared to other countries but our standards of living are higher) so with the middle class disappearing, these super rich are controlling all the media, corporations and just about everything that america really runs on. the politicians are clearly corrupt and are more focused on giving these people that already have money, a break from having to give back to the community basically.

So yeah, with places like wal-mart that sell just about everything you may need at low prices. whats going to happen to local supermarkets that cant compete with their low prices? they will soon disappear and wal mart will become more and more powerful and just keep racking in money from people who cant afford the normal prices of regular local markets. therefor the money is no longer going into the peoploes hands and back into the communities.. it is only going to these huge corporations that may claim that they give back, but what they take from the communities does not equal out to what they "give back"

Anyways the way this deals with the environment is.. people will no longer be able to worry about the health of the earth because all of their energy will have to be focused on making money to support themselves and they're families. People wont have the mental capability to be able to realize these things because they are just gonna get all the news they need from places like FOX NEWS and CNN. It is really becoming a nightmare.. I truly believe we are screwed because nobody is coming out and saying anything about these things except Al Gore, and he was pretty much shoved out of the way because he didnt have the same goals as far as politics goes. Hey dumbasses.. politics is all ******** and without the enviornment being in good shape and animals roaming this earth there is no politics or anything we will all cease to exist and life will be over.. the topic of global warming and the future of life on earth will soon be a discussion no one wishes to have, and will no longer be important to people anymore.

GREED WILL KILL US ALL IN THE END.. :(
