How do you feel about LONG -DISTANCE relationships?
I don't know what to think.
I like a guy that lives miles away. I don't know what to do. I want opinions.How do you feel about LONG -DISTANCE relationships?
Challenging. Needs lots of empathy. Good luck, sincerely.How do you feel about LONG -DISTANCE relationships?
I've been in one for four years now. It takes a lot of patience, trust, and communication. I don't see why people say they don't workout. I guess some people are just lazy, because to me distance shouldn't stop you from loving someone. At least I don't understand how it could..
Best of luck chick!
You might feel that you will stay with the person and that the long distance wont change anything but in the end(there maybe a small chance of staying together) they fail. I have had a few and they have never worked.
BUT it is up to you. Tbh you should take the chance, only one life...
I guess they could work out, but i'm not a big fan of them and have low expectations (sorry :(
Good Luck! Best wishes! ;)
I was in a long distance relationship for 2 years, and now I live with the fool. They can work, as long as you both want them to.
I was actually involved in one once, and they never work - this person was in another country btw.
if you really want it to work you can make it work..gdluck!
My long distance relationship only lasted 3 weeks.
I got dumped.
They generally don't work....
If your happy only seeing him once ever so often, and without knowing what he's doing when your not there then go for it.....
Otherwise best to avoid.... (or move)
dont work.
BAD IDEA. It has all sorts of opportunities for cheating...
- Hard to commit to.
I THINK ITS COOL BUT I THINK I MAY HAVE TO SHOUT..
I'm all for them, I've had many, some successful, some not, but you must give it a try.
I don't like them.
They rarely work out.
not good!
to much temptation for each of you! people assume your single and sometimes you feel like you are!!!
They're a lost cause.
idk
They never work out!!!!!!........well for me!!!!
Not for me,,not enough contact time,,it wouldn`t work

Is it true that the media is brainwashing White women into believing that bi-racial relationships are okay?
Is it true that the media is subtly brainwashing American White women into mating with males of ';other'; races in order to increase the acceptability of those ';other'; races? And, that without this ';lightening process';, non-white races will never be an acceptable sub-sector of society? Is this true? Thank you.Is it true that the media is brainwashing White women into believing that bi-racial relationships are okay?
Yes, absolutely.
I almost passed out last night while watching East Enders on PBS. I used to watch this show back in the day, and there were NO interracial relationships then. Now they have them. It is usually the blackest blacks with the whitest whites. Most children born from interracial relationships, have lots of conflicts throughout their lives.
I will challenge you to do a little research and look into who owns the media. There you will find all the reasons and answers behind why this is happening and being pushed. There is a certain people who are behind this evil. You are obviously bright enough to see the truth, then go a step further and Find out for yourself.Is it true that the media is brainwashing White women into believing that bi-racial relationships are okay?
Yes, the media is giving us all subliminal messages beamed through the TV sets into our brains using advanced brain transmitters as part of a government conspiracy to make us date bi-racially, this is horrible as it is white women's DUTY TO MATE WITH OTHER WHITE PEOPLE AND NOT DILUTE THEIR PROUD WHITE BLOOD.
What's true is that bigots are logging into YA to express their disapproval of salt and pepper shakers everyday.
We all need to learn to accept who other people choose to love regardless of what we personally think of it.
No one, media or otherwise, is able to subtly or overtly brainwash American or European white women into mating with males of other races. Europeans will accept or reject ';other'; races on their own, and no amount of indoctrination will make anyone mate with someone they do not accept.
And no ';lightening process';, will ever make us an acceptable sub-sector of society, regardless of how you think. We are who we are, and if Europeans do not accept us so be it. I , for one, am not asking for their acceptance in the first place. What I want is equal protection under the law, a fair and equitable distribution of the wealth and political power, and equal opportunity. Nothing more, nothing less.
Interracial relationships are okay, my brother and several cousins are bi-racial. However, they were all conceived in love, not in the hopes of creating a whiter society.
Bi-racial or interracial relationships aren't okay? Anyone who dates strictly on race is a sick f*ck. There's nothing wrong with dating someone outside of your race--I've done it many many times and enjoyed it each time. People are people--we are not defined by our color or gender.
I'm shocked that there are still ignorant people out there who still think people dating interracially is ';wrong.';
No. The media is brainwashing other women to turn themselves into white women (Asian girls ';fixing'; their eyes, Indian women bleaching their skin, black women bleaching their skin) or to allow white men to do anything to them and get away with it (Halle Berry being forcibly kissed by white man).
Also, what about white men? Isn't that a white guy Halle Berry, Chaz Hammelworth Ebert are with? In Chaz's case the guy (Roger Ebert) looks like her father (she's middle aged and he's elderly)!
No my friend OTHER women / men are being brainwashed for the most part.
don't know, im sure the insane Left does push them on us but at the same time I don't really care about them.
people have opened up to inter-racial relationships and anyone who is against them is a moron
Nobody is being brainwashed because bi-racial relationships just ARE ok.
interracial relationships are fine.... people arent brainwashed... theyre just more open
Is it any wonder that white women don't want to date you?
Yes, absolutely.

Was Othello the first depiction of interracial relationships in English literature?
Are there any more novels/books on the same theme - particularly classics?Was Othello the first depiction of interracial relationships in English literature?
Othello was the first in English Literature - but it wasn't the first in the world.
Here's a good book about the subject:
An Anthology of Interracial Literature: Black-White Contacts in the Old World and the New (Paperback)
by Werner Sollors (Author)
';A white knight meets his half-black half-brother in battle. A black hero marries a white woman. A slave mother kills her child by a rapist-master. A white-looking person of partly African ancestry passes for white. A master and a slave change places for a single night. An interracial marriage turns sour. The birth of a child brings a crisis. Such are some of the story lines to be found within the pages of An Anthology of Interracial Literature.
This is the first anthology to explore the literary theme of black-white encounters, of love and family stories that cross鈥攐r are crossed by鈥攚hat came to be considered racial boundaries. The anthology extends from Cleobolus' ancient Greek riddle to tormented encounters in the modern United States, visiting along the way a German medieval chivalric romance, excerpts from Arabian Nights and Italian Renaissance novellas, scenes and plays from Spain, Denmark, England, and the United States, as well as essays, autobiographical sketches, and numerous poems. The authors of the selections include some of the great names of world literature interspersed with lesser-known writers. Themes of interracial love and family relations, passing, and the figure of the Mulatto are threaded through the volume.
An Anthology of Interracial Literature allows scholars, students, and general readers to grapple with the extraordinary diversity in world literature. As multi-racial identification becomes more widespread the ethnic and cultural roots of world literature takes on new meaning.';
For the ancient Greek philosopher Cleobulus, for example, interracial procreation provided a handy and benign metaphor for a riddle about day and night. And in ';Parzival,'; a 12th-century Arthurian romance, the German writer Wolfram von Eschenbach stages an emotional battlefield encounter between the knight Parzival and his half-black half brother Feirefis. (Although having been raised apart, the brothers recognize each other in battle and put aside ';hatred and wrath'; for ';a brotherly embrace.';)
The anthology also features half a dozen Renaissance poems celebrating interracial love, among them a translation of a lyric poem written by George Herbert in Latin. It begins: ';What if my face be black? O Cestus, hear!/Such colour Night brings, which yet Love holds dear.';
Try the third link for an excellent reading list on the subject, please.Was Othello the first depiction of interracial relationships in English literature?
I'm not entirely certain, but I believe that Othello was the first recognized work about interracial relationships. I'd have to do more research on the subject before I offer a more substantial answer. If I were you, I'd Google it and find out.
I felt it was just as much about jealousy and how destructive that can be.
One of the Chaucers Tales dealt with it to, I think it may have been the Wife Of Bath
i think it was
Not sure because it might have been Shylock.

How important is religion in your romantic relationships?
I tried to have relationships with men that had different beliefs than I do, but they didn't work. Even if we complimented each other in most other aspects, our religious differences were a breaking point. I am an atheist. I just couldn't have a serious relationship with someone who believed in God, and they couldn't be with someone who didn't. What about you? What has your experience been?How important is religion in your romantic relationships?
My experiences are similar. I am a Christian and, although I wouldn't require my mate to be a Christian, I doubt that there would be a long term relationship if she were a monk or an athiest.
It's not that I think they would be less of a person because they don't share my beliefs, but it would be a serious point of friction between the two of us.How important is religion in your romantic relationships?
most of the time it doesn't work when individuals of two different doctrines but same religion get involved and chances are that two people of two totally different beliefs or religions wont last either
especially if the main key point they both argue is the existence of GOD.
best to find some one who believes the way you do
I've heard an argument, that often times, the love of god makes up for the lack of romantic love. People throughout history have replaced god with a true mate. Think about how we treat our gods: we speak highly of them no matter what, we praise them and admire them, we write about them often poetically and if anyone insults them, we get upset and defend them to the death. Sounds like true love to me. I would do those things for my wife!
I have never been in a serious relationship, but it must be tough for you - for anyone - to be close to someone who's first true love is an imaginary old man in the sky.
You're asking a complex question with no simple answer. I've seen 'mixed' (religion) marriages last a lifetime and I've seen to congregants of a specific church grow to dislike each other enough to have to separate or divorce. So, if you're looking for a fool-proof method of finding a life partner, looking locally is usually best...at least you share something in common. If you're trying to date/marry someone who has no belief system (or atheist), it's probably not going to work long term. I believe strongly enough myself not to let someone...anyone...else's opinion of spirituality affect mine...however, if you don't like going to religious events and services alone, you'll need to find someone who will at least go-along to get-along...:)
that is a good question, and i must say that i could not and would not be in a relationship with someone who had different beliefs than i do. there is no possible way that it would work. what could we possibly have in common. that is like saying a Christian could have a successful marriage with a drug addict. How can the relationship work if one person is at church and the other one is at the dope house?
Here's God's message to believers..
';Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And, what communion hath light with darkness? ...... Or, what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? .....'; (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
For obedient Christians, social, business partnerships, and marital relationships are forbidden, and the reasons are clear.
However, personal relationships are encouraged for the purpose of leading lost people to Christ.
I'm pagan and it's very important. My spirituality impacts my life on a daily basis. For awhile I thought that as long as a boyfriend was pagan-friendly and I didn't have to hide my beliefs, that a relationship could work. I respect whatever path others choose to follow. However, that is no longer enough. I want a man with whom I can share this important part of who I am.
My husband is an atheist and I am a polytheist.
I was agnostic when we got married and we have had to do some seriousl adjusting. I demand nothing but respect and as long as he is willing to give it we are all right. I don't think that it's too much to ask.
The Bible says not to be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. He obviously said it because it ';IS'; important. So, if it causes problems for the believer, I'm sure it would also cause problems for the unbeliever too. Before I was Saved I would have never dated a Christian, it just wouldn't have happened. But, now, I will not date someone who does not Love God. Peace!
Its a very personal thing. If you feel that strongly and things have not worked out in the past, then you need to concentrate on partners with your same beliefs. Have you tried joing a group/organization that espouses your beliefs to meet people you would be compatible with?
My opinion is that a marriage to a person with the same religious beliefs is sufficiently challenging. A marriage between two people with differing religious beliefs is like starting with a serious handicap, it is not impossible, but definitely more difficult.
I'm an atheist and probably could not deal with a christian....especially quoting scripture, saying they love me, but hate my ';sin';, or push their religion on me.
My best friend is Christian and we do put up with eachother, but can't deal with it in a relationship.
A lot of people profess not believing in God. I personally do not believe their statements..I dont just believe in God I know God exist..It is not necessary that you believe.You are going to heaven with the rest of us anyway..This is one of the few choices we cannot make in life. Thank God. You can read Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch to prove to yourself that He exists and you at the same time can solve your relationship problems.. God bless
The very first thing I look for in a man is if he is a Christian. I will not date someone who does not believe along the lines I do. I'm even careful with what denomination I date. I've found this saves a lot of frustration and heartache.
It usually isn't an issue. I ignore religion, but were I to discover it was that much a part of someone's life that she based all of her decisions on it, I'd walk away. Life is too short.
I would not have a relationship with a woman who did not believe in God. Spirituality is the foundation that keeps people together when all else fails. Notice I did not use the word ';religion.';
very important. I woudn't want a relationship with a person who didn't believe in God. God comes first and he is important.
Well, most of my boyfriends have been Jewish, however, I would really love to marry someone who is Catholic or Orthodox Christian.
I'm a Christian dating an atheist and it doesn't bother either one of us. Just don't focus your relationship on religious views.
I'm married. There are no romantic relationships.
It's the back bone of any relationship.
very important
Shamefully, I haven't had a girlfriend in a long time, so I don't know.
atheist,,and I married a Mormon girl,,,no problem at all
never even had to go in a church
How can two walk together as one unless they agree on this central issue.
interesting question
i too am an atheist.
not many girls in my area and atheist... but all i know is u and me would get along juuust fine

What are your opinions on different race relationships and age?
I'm not racist I just want to know what your opinions are on older aged males of a different race dating younger females of a different race...I was wondering because some people care that i a white female dated a older african guy. ThanksWhat are your opinions on different race relationships and age?
';Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can;t explain
We may be different, but deep inside us
We're not that different at all...';
I feel ya sister. My wife is Native and I'm a white Jew Both of our families have BIG issues with it.
Listen to your heart.What are your opinions on different race relationships and age?
OOHHHHH. very heavy subject but coming from a young white male, my suggestion is to not ever tempt yourself with cross race relations. Many people will give you awkward looks because it is not accepted on a bigger social scale. Also black males will usually go out of they way to attract a white women because they are, according to some, easy to control
As long as you are 18 and mature enough to be dating the whole race thing really shounldn't matter... In the past I've dated women outside fo my race and the parents made me jump through hoops just to prove I was good enough to date their daughter... When it came to other males of the same race (as the female) they didn't have to meet the same standards that I did just to date... Isn't that just wrong!
I say let live
As long as you have good communication, it won't matter what age, and color, or race you are, we are all the same. Tell me about the perfect relationship between the same race or color, or age. They fail too! My ex is my age, my color, my language. My new love is 13 years older, from a different country, and different language, who cares honey?? If you love each other, or not just yet, Go for it!

Why do some women move on from relationships so quickly?
I know that this is not the case for all women, but I seem to know a fair amount of them who have had boyfriends since they were 16, and if they have a breakup, they will be with a new guy within a few weeks. Do these women not get as emotionally invested in relationships as men?
Personally when a relationship ends, I like to be by myself for a little so I can reconnect with myself, and figure out what I'm looking for in the future. Do these women not like to think about these things?Why do some women move on from relationships so quickly?
usually we aren't over it; we just act like it so we look like we are 'winning' the breakup.Why do some women move on from relationships so quickly?
I think sometimes when you are younger you can trunndle through life like a bullet let out of a gun without thinking of the consequenses etc!
It doesn't mean you don't have FEELINGS for the person you were with - but you just roll on forward , headfirst , till it all catches up with you!!
And then you may start to realise that time out is good to recover , heal , fully mend and let go of all things from your past so you can move on HEALTHILY without any emotional baggage!!!
YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING ...Plus it means you MUCK LESS PEOPLE AROUND BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO MEET SOMEONE ELSE YOU ARE READY AND EMOTIONALLY FREE TO HAVE A REAL FRESH RELATIONSHIP!

How to establish insurable interest in life insurance policy for non-blood and non-debt relationships?
Can insurable interest be established by stating that there is an emotional loss or that there is an emotional relationship between the beneficiary and life insured?
Is insurable interest required for beneficiary change after a policy is issued or is it only required at policy inception?
Is insurable interest required for absolute assignment?How to establish insurable interest in life insurance policy for non-blood and non-debt relationships?
Well, you must lose something of value if the insured dies. This something of value can be financial loss, debt repayment, love, and so on.
Insurable interest only applies if you are the one paying for the policy. The insured must also give consent to have the life insurance. The one who pays the policy is the policy owner. Policy owner has complete control on the policy. They have right to change the beneficiary, change ownership, and have decisions on what to do with the cash value, loans, or any other financial benefits from the policy.
The assignment clause only kicks in if the policy owner wishes to transfer the ownership to someone else. Insurable interest must exist between the new owner and the one being insured. There are two assignment options: Absolute assignment and collateral assignment. Absolute assignment is where you tranfer the ownership to another person. This change is permanent.
Under collateral assignment, you temporarily assign someone as an owner with limited rights. Collateral assignment is most common when the creditor requires insurance as part of the security for a loan.
As for naming the beneficiary, anyone can be named a beneficiary. There is no law that states that the beneficiary need to have insurable interest on the insured. The policy owner doesn't even have to notify the beneficiary that they are named in the life policy. Most companies will have restrictions on who you can name a beneficiary (such as naming your pet as a beneficiary).How to establish insurable interest in life insurance policy for non-blood and non-debt relationships?
There are several errors in ';Truth's'; answer which could create estate or tax issues.
1) Insurable Interest applies REGARDLESS OF WHO PAYS the premiums. The beneficiary on the initial application must be at risk of loss in event of the insured's death, regardless of who pays the premiums (more)
The owner of the policy may change beneficiary after policy issue, and the restrictions on 'insurable interest' are less rigid for post-issue changes, but the idea is that the beneficiary would rather see the insured alive than dead (more)
It is true the proposed insured must consent to the application, but may name another as owner, regardless of whom pays the premium. As owner, they do have control, but that is totally different from ';Assignment'; - another error by ';Truth.'; (more)
One may name a contingent owner in event of the death of the primary owner (a grandfather of an insured child names the child's mother - his daughter as contingent owner if he should die). Otherwise, upon death of owner, the insured becomes owner (more)
An ';Assignment'; is to 'assign' interest in the value of the policy - without transfering ownership - to a third party. I.e, I have an existing $1 million policy and just made a business loan, I can ';assign'; interest in the policy up to the unpaid amount of the loan. (more)
That is not ownership, it is an assignment of interest. The 'owner' does not necessarily have to have an insurable interest, but the beneficiary does - that is, they should have an interest in the continued life of the insured (more)
Very contrary to ';Truth's'; statement, there are laws in almost EVERY state that a beneficiary should have an insurable interest. Companies will not issue a policy if they feel the beneficiary does not. They may request proof of insurable interest. (more)
In most states, after the policy is issued, you can change the beneficiary without challenge from the company to someone who has a less clear insurable interest, or perhaps none at all - but not at policy issue. (more)
So, you could have a policy for which ';Truth'; pays the premium, I am the owner, XYZ Finance Company has an assignment of interest for a loan, and your church / wife / son / mother is the beneficiary. (more)
There may be tax implications to any or all of these decisions, which is why it is best to obtain advice from a PROFESSIONAL with many years of service and Industry CERTIFICATION to advise you. Not the guy or gal who is a flashy amateur.
For a non-blood, non-debt relationship there typically will be no insurable interest. However, insurable interest is only required when initially applying for the policy. Once it's issued, you can change it to whomever you wish. Insurable interest is also not required for absolute assignment of benefits, provided the assignment is given after the policy is issued.
You have to have an insurable interest when you take a life assurance policy out. A person has an insurable interest in something when loss or damage to it would cause that person to suffer a financial loss or certain other kinds of losses. Without an insurable interest, the policy is null and void. So, there would be an insurable interest between, partners, husbands and wives etc. I would not have an insurable interest on say my friend's life as I would not be financially disadvantaged financially by her death. Before insurable interest was introduced, anyone could take out life assurance on anyone and there were lots of strange murders as a result!!. You also have an insurable interest in a business parter as again, you would be financially disadvantaged on their death. You can nominate a beneficiary for the policy proceeds i.e a child by placing the policy under trust either absolute (no changes possible) or flexible (changes can be made). By putting the policy under trust, the policy proceeds pass directly to the beneficiary and not through probate in the event of the life assured death. You can also effect life policies on a life of another basis but again, you must have insurable interest between the policy owner and life assured.
An emotional loss is not considered an insurable interest. But if you share expenses with the individual, or you are charged with final expenses, then that is an insurable interest.
So, someone that you live with %26amp; share household expenses with such as an unmarried couple, that could qualify as an insurable interest.
Basically, you need to show the insurance company how the survivor will loose financially without that other person.
I have a charity setup as beneficiary on one of my policies. There is no insurable interest there.
One dodge might be to lend some money to someone who you want to set up with an insurable interest -- or borrow some. But this is really a question for an insurance broker.
To answer your first question, no, emotional loss is not considered insurable interest.
To your second question, as a general rule, insurable interest is only necessary at time of application. Once the policy it issued, the insured (owner) can name anyone they wish as beneficiary. We used to name the estate to get the policy issued and then immediately change it to the person the insured wanted to get the money.
For absolute assignment, there would need to be some arrangement made where the insurance would be assignable.
The company I work for states that upon writing the life policy, you must name an insurable interest as the beneficiary. After the policy is issued, I have my clients fill out a form changing the beneficiary. At that time they do not have to name a beneficiary that has insurable interest. That is how charities, friends, etc. are named. It is done all the time.
Some wrong info you received: If you don't have someone named as beneficiary the policy is not null and void. The insurance company will cut the life insurance death value to your estate. Unfortunately this would put it into probate.
However, if you name someone as beneficiary Life Insurance does not go through probate!
Check with your agent about getting the form to change your beneficiary and call the company to see if you can change it to someone or a charity that has no insurable interest. Sure they'll tell you, that you can name anyone you want
Hope this helps
I, personally do not believe that there is an ';insurable interest'; requirement in life insurance. I have ONLY ever seen it in the property/casulty lines of business.
I think you can name whomever you want as beneficiary of the policy, ESPECIALLY if you are the policy owner. That could be, your best friend who is not blood related and whom you owe no money to, the cat rescue group that you wildly admire, your church, etc.
Just be extremely specific (name, date of birth, ss# or tax id number) in the beneficiary clause, so ';Joe Smith's'; identity can't be mistaken.
** for the person that asked. I've never had a person who applied for a life insurance policy for themselves (that is, owner AND insured) have the beneficiary questioned. The relationship did NOT have to be explained - ';friend'; worked just fine every time. I've never had a policy owner/insured have to ';defend'; a beneficiary clause in order to get the policy issued. That's why I say ';I don't believe in the insurable interest clause';.
That's not to say that I, Jane Doe, can take out a life insurance policy on Brad Pitt with me as the beneficiary. Clearly, not only would I need Brad's permission, but the insurance company would likely decline to issue, as there is no ';insurable interest'; - ie, I have nothing to lose from his death, the policy would be pure speculation. Rather than getting into a battle about whether or not I forged his permission and hired a lookalike to do the bloodwork, they'll just not bother with it at all.

Why in this day and age internet relationships are so popular in your opinion?
people have bf's , gf's only on the computer sometimes?
why and how so for this?
btw, where are you in the world?
thanks for your answers!Why in this day and age internet relationships are so popular in your opinion?
I believe this can be attributed to the way people are being lured by their interests to chatrooms or forums that allow them interaction with many common-interest groups.
Because they are normally part of a common interest community online
1) This allows more discussions. (Talk about what they enjoy)
2) This allows more understanding.(Understand what they say)
3) This allows more display of their forte (elements) in some cases. (Seeing only the good points)
One of the prime examples are relationships that are formed while playing Massively Multiiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG) like World of Warcraft.
Hence you tend to virtually see people in their elements, therefore to some people, they tend to be more inclined to develop relationships online.
Moreover since online interaction is much easier than going up to normal strangers and asking them out, it eliminates the process of finding out common interests and actually saves time and embarrassment to some.
So basically it is popular because of the ease of knowing someone online compared to actually spending time to know someone.
However, there are some negatives about this
1) there is no physical contact and some of the emotions are not displayed. I have seen numerous relationships falter because of the lack of intimacy.
2) people are not the same online and offline and many others.
On the ending note, it's also more convenient for long distance relationships.
I am from Asia.Why in this day and age internet relationships are so popular in your opinion?
Having tried this Internet dating it works for some people but not for all. One thing that I found is that on either side people are less than economical with the truth and tend to lie about , age , looks , their past so it can be a bad experience for many. It is great to chat but then when you meet the person in the flesh your left let down because they have lied about certain things and without honesty to start off with what have you got nothing.
Im in the UK.
I've onlt had 1 LDR in my lifetime. We didn;t start out as an LDR, he live an hour away from me and we visited eachother as much as we could, then his parent moved him to Ireland. The LDR worked for around seven months, then it broke down, I tried to keep it going.. but he wasn't with me on it. So it ended. Then I found out he was cheating with the girl that introducted us.
Having a physical relationship is so much more benificial.
its the new way of dating, people dont have time to talk to others anymore, the pub scene is gone, people drink indoors because its cheaper, when you do go out usually people are busy talking on their phones. Pity the world has gone that way. im from Ireland.
Because people feel more confident talking through their computer. Also, they can delete bad comments from people.
People get lazy and can't be ar.sed to go out, look nice and wait for fate.
Or (and this is my case) find it much easier to talk online first.

Is it OK to be in two relationships at the same time?
I mean if it's OK to be in two relationships one after the other, why is it not OK to be in two relationships at the same time?Is it OK to be in two relationships at the same time?
its ok as long as the ones you are dating knows, like you like to people but you like one more but he is not ready to be commtited so your with another until the first one is ready, as long as the knowIs it OK to be in two relationships at the same time?
pshh, i know. i ask that sometimes too, bur a relationship is something specail you need to share with only one person.
it's not ok because your not being fair to them
heck no! never be in 2 relationships at once! that not only will have a bad effect later on, but that's just being unfaithful. break up with one of them. the one you care about the most. or just stay with both and suffer the consequences later on. but if i were you i would just break up with one of them now before they both find out and dump you
Because in a relationship you are supposed to be faithful to that person and care only for them romantically
no but 3 is ok
Does the 2 people u want 2 date know?If they r ok with it then its fine. Just think of it this way- would u like 2 be the 2nd gf?
I wouldn't!
Answer mine? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
is polygamy ok?
No, because it is cheating, and you could really end up hurting the 2 peoples feelings.
well.... techincally its okay, since youre not cheating on someone, but to many people that will make you seem like a whore. usually, it takes more than a few days to get over someone you truly care about or love, so by having consecutive relationships, it just shows youre not actually into the person... you know?? hope that made sense!
because that is considered cheating and according to the bible and most other people its wrong.
It's otherwise known as cheating.
It's OK to be in two relationships at the same time IF both girls are aware of it and also free to date who they want (its called open relationships)...
however, if you are lying to them about it, then thats messed up, and if you can't see why, then theres nothing we can do, can't cure stupidity.
cuz it isnt fair to the other people you're cheating on
unless they're down for it, in which case there's nothing wrong
no because you will make the previous girl feel like she was nothing so no i would not think so it happende to me and i felt like ugh...
because love is something special that u should only excersise for one person at a time
sure your choice but when the person you cheated finds out then your in big trouble
Um, because that's called cheating. THAT'S why.
it's fine if you have not committed to anyone.
i think if yer bi and ita a girl and a guy then shure watev...but if yer cheating i think its wrong. but thats just me
It is wrong, its a matter of morals.
ok how would u feel if ur boyfriend spent 1 night ith u and another with another girl 2 relationships...guys have feelings to and thats basicly like u treating them like **** and thats not fair to both of them
Because that's cheating. And it isn't really okay to be in one right after the other because that hurts whoever is being left behind in most situations.
That would be cheating.
There's a big difference between having one after the other and at the same time.
It is NOT OK to be in two relationshipd unless the two girls/boys know about it. It is rather un-fair to those people which many have strong feelings about you.
that's the stupidest reasoning ever
when you're in two relationships back to back, you're still (in theory) only focused on one person and you're building a strong relationship with that one person
when you're with two people at the same time, you can't build two solid relationships that will last because someone will get jealous and polygamy is illegal
CUZ TO 2 SOMEONES YOU WOULD BE A 2 FACED SCUMBAG
because if you truly loved someone, you wouldnt dream of getting with any one else.
you'll end up heart braking them both
its kinda selfish tbh
No it's not ok at all. When u r in a relationship with someone, u need to devote yourself to them completely..and trust them..and make sure u don't betray their trust. However it can happen that u like 2 people at the same time..but u have to choose one of them to be with.
No.
its ok as long as the ones you are dating knows, like you like to people but you like one more but he is not ready to be commtited so your with another until the first one is ready, as long as the knowIs it OK to be in two relationships at the same time?
pshh, i know. i ask that sometimes too, bur a relationship is something specail you need to share with only one person.
it's not ok because your not being fair to them
heck no! never be in 2 relationships at once! that not only will have a bad effect later on, but that's just being unfaithful. break up with one of them. the one you care about the most. or just stay with both and suffer the consequences later on. but if i were you i would just break up with one of them now before they both find out and dump you
Because in a relationship you are supposed to be faithful to that person and care only for them romantically
no but 3 is ok
Does the 2 people u want 2 date know?If they r ok with it then its fine. Just think of it this way- would u like 2 be the 2nd gf?
I wouldn't!
Answer mine? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
is polygamy ok?
No, because it is cheating, and you could really end up hurting the 2 peoples feelings.
well.... techincally its okay, since youre not cheating on someone, but to many people that will make you seem like a whore. usually, it takes more than a few days to get over someone you truly care about or love, so by having consecutive relationships, it just shows youre not actually into the person... you know?? hope that made sense!
because that is considered cheating and according to the bible and most other people its wrong.
It's otherwise known as cheating.
It's OK to be in two relationships at the same time IF both girls are aware of it and also free to date who they want (its called open relationships)...
however, if you are lying to them about it, then thats messed up, and if you can't see why, then theres nothing we can do, can't cure stupidity.
cuz it isnt fair to the other people you're cheating on
unless they're down for it, in which case there's nothing wrong
no because you will make the previous girl feel like she was nothing so no i would not think so it happende to me and i felt like ugh...
because love is something special that u should only excersise for one person at a time
sure your choice but when the person you cheated finds out then your in big trouble
Um, because that's called cheating. THAT'S why.
it's fine if you have not committed to anyone.
i think if yer bi and ita a girl and a guy then shure watev...but if yer cheating i think its wrong. but thats just me
It is wrong, its a matter of morals.

How do ou feel when your girl/boyfriend tells you that they cheated in previous relationships? ?
My new girlfriend told me the other night that she'd cheated on a couple of her previous boyriends.When I asked her ';why?'; she just said ';carelessness';.I got real concerned and kinda freaked a little saying it doesn't seem like I could trust her.Was I being unfair?How do ou feel when your girl/boyfriend tells you that they cheated in previous relationships? ?
wuld leave her hoHow do ou feel when your girl/boyfriend tells you that they cheated in previous relationships? ?
i cheated on my ex bf a couple times because i wasnt inlove with him .
im so in love with my bf now that i would never think about even talking to another guy..
it just depends ya i would feel a little jaded and hurt but give her the benefit of the doubt and tell her to keep it real and hope for the best .
i think oh crap what did i get myself into?'; i firmly believe once a cheater always a cheater. she said a couple, its happened frequently. even if it happened once i wouldnt trust her. save yourself the heartbreak and dump her before you find yourself calling Joey Greco.
look this girl is gonna hurt you.i wouldn't trust her at all if shes been hurting this other boys there's a high chance shes gonna do it to you too.just break it to her gently if you break up with her i highly think you should do.
Once a cheater, always a cheater. Actually, if it had only been a one time fling with one boyfriend, I would overlook it, but seeing as how you said ';a couple of her previous boyfriends'; I would say its pretty fair of you to not trust her.
well if she did it more than once she miight do it again.. i cheated once and i felt real bad for it so i dont do it anymore that aint mii...
but idk just watch out.. dont get hurt.. their is more gurlz out their for u
once a cheater always a cheater.. take it from someone who was cheated on by someone who told me the same thing
with relationships they are weak.
when she starts getting more suspecious of you or getting jealous thats a sign right off the bat that shes cheating on you.. its called dirty conscience so trust her for now but the first signs you get- you no she is cheating..
one who starts to cheat realizes how easy it is and someone who has previously cheated is selfish, they justifiy there actions like it was no big deal and rarly feel guilt.. first big fight you get in or the second she isnt feeling appriciated she is more than likely going to cheat on you so dont be suprised..
and someone that cheats gets really angrey if they get cheated on.
if my bf told me that id ask him why and how long ago and if his answer aint good enough then id leave him but id make him promise me he wont hurt me like that
I wouldn't trust her.
leave her cuse its not like she had told her ex's she cheated on them imagen what she's not telling you right now
';Once a cheater always a cheater'; is generalizing. I have met people who messed up once and learned their lesson. EVERYONE deserves a chance at redemption.
With that said, I would be concerned too. You were not unfair. You asked for a reason, and it was almost ignorant of her to of answered so selfishly. :/
It isn't carelessness; She just isn't ready for commitment. she cheated on purpose and she probably doesn't even realize it.
Some of us girls want a companion so we aren't lonely, but we don't want to admit that we don't really want commitment. sad but true.
I would advise her to try being single for a while or have a cuddle (or whatever else) buddy for moral support, but that you or anyone else doesn't need to become a victim of her lack of commitment.
She cheated on them, what makes you so sure shes not gunna cheat on you.
once a cheater- always a cheater.
If she cheated on a previous relationship,she might cheat on you too! so i would leave her.
No Way Dude ! If Shes Cheated Before Then Theres Nothin from stopping her doing it again , If You LOve her and feel she wouldnt do it to you then try to ignore it but if you feel uncomfortable then be braved to get your heart broken
Lol..... sounds like a guy's answer. Nope, i wouldnt trust her. And same for me, i wouldnt date a guy who has just perviously cheated on someone else.
well i had boyfriend that told me the same, that he had cheated in a previous relationship, i did not let that get to me, but it turned out that he did it with me too, he cheated, so i guess that you would have to see if she would do that with you, but she does deserve the benefit of the doubt..doesnt mean she is gonna do it to you...it depends on the person i guess and what they feel for their partner..
I suppose you could give her a chance, but if she blames cheating on being careless, then I'm not sure she is very smart.....Maybe she meant she was careless and got caught, but I think she cheated cuz she likes to have sex with other guys too much!
I am a girl and to me it seems like she told u that because she loved u. She probably cheated on her previous bf because she didn't feel loved by them, so she needed love. so she told u that as a sign that she won't cheat on u as long as u love her. so it seems like u weren't unfair. But u should not break up with her if u really love her.
No, you have every right to be concerned. It can happen once but if she cheated on several boyfriends just says it was ';carelessness'; that's not a good sign.
Nope sorry to say she doesn't take relationship seriously. She did it once was bad enough but more than that she has issues and sad to say she'll do it again. Once a cheater --------------------

After a man cheats repeatedly throughout his relationships, what makes him think that it is ok to come back?
My ex-fiance has cheated on me and now he thinks that we can try to work things out but yet he is still lying to me about his doings? He is still seeing the woman he cheated on me with? Why do men lie so much? What r they trying tio achieve or gain?After a man cheats repeatedly throughout his relationships, what makes him think that it is ok to come back?
i dont think he actually thinks its ok, he just is hoping you will be naive enough to come back to him After a man cheats repeatedly throughout his relationships, what makes him think that it is ok to come back?
Well did you take him back? Cuz if you did you just told him that its perfectly fine to lie and cheat, because you will love him no matter what he does. He does not respect you, because if he did he would not have done these things. Kick him to the curb honey, it is better to be happy alone then in a crappy relationship with someone who treats you like dirt!
Be Strong Sister!
Men cheat and come back to their mates cause the majority of the times their mates will forgive them thus the man knows how to play her. They achieve ';Mental confidence'; and gain another notch on the bed post.
Women allow men to cheat because they take them back. Once a cheater always a cheater, Be strong and get rid of him permanently.
He think it's okay because YOU keep taking him back!!! Stop it. Cut off all contact and move on with your life. He is never going to change. You have to let him go.
He has no idea how smart you are. He's probably has gotten away with it before and thinks he will again.
had the same problem most men cant changepores

What do you think of Christian/Atheist relationships?
Atheists how do you feel about dating/marrying a Christian, and how do Christians feel about dating/marrying a Atheist?
How would this effect any children you would have?
How important are the different outlooks you have on the world.
I know that love is very important, but could you truly be happy with someone who views the world so differently?What do you think of Christian/Atheist relationships?
There is no way I could spend every day of the rest of my life with someone who believes they can telepathically communicate with a magical wizard in the sky.What do you think of Christian/Atheist relationships?
Unequally yoked. Relationships.
If one marries and one becomes a believer after the marriage. If they choose to stay together it is legal. But to keep you out of confusion and to have Godly offspring. That is not the way to go.
Atheists can be very precarious people. They have no idea that the simple act of being someones friend can change their brain chemistry,prove their functioning in this world.
It is dignity in being loyal to someone. Marriage is a gift from God.
The result in marriage is for a man and woman to become one in both body and spirit. Why would either of them want this considering their huge differences? Wouldn't it be a tough marriage with two world views and two different codes of conduct?
2Cr 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2Cr 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2Cr 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2Cr 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,
2Cr 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
However much you may think LOVE is the most important thing in a relationship - trust me IT ISN'T! I've been married for 22 years to the same man. Sure we love eachother and we even go to the same church. But our views on religion and spirituality still differ quite a bit and have been the source of much contention and issue in our marriage many times.
Sharing common life views, morals, values, goals, respect, and eternal perspectives is FAR MORE important in any lasting relationship then ';LOVE';. Because Love changes with time and goes through cycles and growth, and highs %26amp; lows but the core of who you each are as individuals is FAR more complex then just the degree or amount of LOVE you feel at any given moment...... Vastly different religious and world views will tear most relationships apart In my opinion.
If I was dating someone, the first few questions would go like... What is your favorite kind of music? What are your views on the world? What are your religious beliefs?';
And I would hope they would answer in detail. After that last question was answered, I would hope never to hear anything about it again, unless they were changing beliefs. I would be able to live with a christian wife if she didn't push her religion on me.
Well I was an atheist who married a Christian, and I suppose whether you think the outcome was good or bad depends on your position on the matter.
After 8 years of marriage, I converted to Christianity.
Turns out, I think, the smartest thing an atheist can do, is to fall in love with an extremely patient and trustworthy Christian.
Hope that helps.
1. I am married to a catholic, but not a ';hardcore'; one.
2. My children are not baptized, do not go to church, etc.
But, we do celebrate easter, christmas, etc.
3. We really don't talk about religion much really. Its not that important to either of us in our daily lives. I spend more time talking about it on Y!A than IRL.
4. Yeah, I don't think I could get along with a fundie, but a normal christian is fine. Most catholics (and other denominations for that reason) that I know are only C%26amp;E catholics/christians anyways.
My mother is Christian and my father atheist.
They've been together for decades, and are still very happy. Even though they may not agree about some ideas, they respect each other's opinion, and their differing religious views have yet to cause any serious rift between them.
I'm in one. My gf is christian and we have a fantastic relationship because we both respect the beliefs of the other. As for kids, she has two and they are of course free to decide what they want to believe based on their own experiences. It's not really hard to have a relationship like this as long as one or the other isn't a fundie. But love is love. It's stronger than anything and we both love each other.
I'm an Atheist.
I would be ok about dating a Christian as long as they are not ';hardcore'; with their beliefs. Although it's interesting, because I've never dated anyone who isn't an atheist.
I guess if you really loved someone, beliefs wouldn't matter.
i dont think your religion shud play a part in love but iif the whole sex before marraiige thing wuz a problem, or ur reliigions caused a problem, then noo.
Never last. In-fact do Christian on Christian relationships last. I think you will find that answer in the American divorce rate.
It would make for some very interesting family get togethers at Christmas.
as if relationships weren't challenging enough.
I love guilt-free, pre-marital relations.
Okay, as long as it's strictly sexual.
doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't try and pollute me with her beliefs.
I fell in love with a christian who is now an atheist thanks to me.
';Do not be unequally yolked'; says the Bible.
I would never consider an atheist. Most atheists seem to have issues.
I would not be happy married to an unbeliever.
Any Christian that dares associates himself with an atheist should be stoned!!!!!!11111

I fell in love with a christian who is now an atheist thanks to me.
';Do not be unequally yolked'; says the Bible.
I would never consider an atheist. Most atheists seem to have issues.
I would not be happy married to an unbeliever.
Any Christian that dares associates himself with an atheist should be stoned!!!!!!11111
What are your opinions on long distance relationships?
As in... you met someone online, who in actuality lives several hundred miles away.What are your opinions on long distance relationships?
I was actually in a long distance relationship for 7 months. We met while I was on vacation in Ecuador for only a couple of days and stayed in contact via email for over a year. I later went back to visit him several times and spent about 2 months total with him, but I was completely in love. Recently, I started feeling really really lonely, and the relationship just wasn't meaningful anymore so we broke up.
Meeting a guy online is tough because you don't really know him, and even if you do go visit him or he visits you once in a while, you guys aren't experiencing the pressures of real life together, you just have vacation time together. And the real test of love is how you survive in hard times.
I say if you really like him go for it, and I hope it works out for it, but in my experience, long distance is just too hard.What are your opinions on long distance relationships?
I personally dont think long distance relationships would work, cos we all know the sayings: ';Out of sight, out of mind'; right?
And in the case you don't even know the person in person but online, there are less chances for the relationship to work. And we say and do things differently on the internet, like me and some guys that I actually know in real life, we can be really flirty on the internet but when we meet we just don't say anything!
It can be done with the right people. But I think for it to really work out there has to be a goal for when the two of you are going to come together once and for all. I don't think one would work if the two people are just living separate lives and just seeing each other when it is convenient for them.
do NOT go for it. I have had one online relationship and I drove 650 miles to see the girl in norther colorado. Her and I had known each other for 3 years....Now we barley speak. It was to akward and I found out after going there that she is far to immature for a relationship. It was somthing that had she been here in person I would have learned in the first few days.
Its really up to you, but meeting over the internet is risky business, and I'm not talking about the awesome Tom Cruise kinda way either.
There is always a chance they arnt who you expect, and it may break your heart.
But at the same time.
I lived in Sydney and my current partner lived in Brisbane. I eneded up moving up here and today is our 2year and 1month ano!
I'd say it's ok from my experience, if you like the person enough and they like you and are willing to deal with the possibility of never seeing you in real-life. Maybe after you feel comfortably enough talking to the person you could ask them for their number? Who knows.
I think you have to spend at least a few months together in person for it to really work. Like the situations where they lived in the same town, then one of them moved away. If you really, really love each other though, anything could work.
They work out for some, but not for me. Too much distance, not actually having met someone? Not very conducive for the long run, if you are looking for a decent relationship.
I think they don't work out so nicely, but if you actually get to meet the person, why keep it as a long distance relationship, when you can just move closer to each other and live happily ever after.
I have nothing against them, defiantly not for me though.
Its way too emotional..And you dont have any physical contact.
Why do people bother? Meet someone in the flesh, is it really that hard..
let me give you advice, get off the computer %26amp; meet people in person.
I dont think they work.. but hey go ahead with it!
i wouldnt do it plus i got a girl that i love with all my heart so yeah.
Trust is key. It'd be easier if you've met physically. I won't give my all for this kind of relationship, tho.
well...i've done it before and might be now, its hard but if you really love someone, just do it
i don't think they can work
i think you need physical contact for a relationship to survive

Why dont they ever have any onscreen relationships anymore?
edge and vickie guerrero is the only 1 and its very disturbing anf not entertaining
why dont they have anymore like edge and lita and trish and jeff hardy?Why dont they ever have any onscreen relationships anymore?
I never really found those entertaining. Especially when they did the marriages. Plus, they want to keep the kids watching and kids still believe in ';cooties';.Why dont they ever have any onscreen relationships anymore?
Every time you do that, you risk them actually becoming an item off screen. And if that happens, then any week they could have a nasty breakup that makes them incapable of working together anymore.
As a result, you never know how stable any story you write for them can be.
Becuse they are trying to get kids to watch WWE. And now they have got a kids magazine out.
Because wwe is currently in the kids era
cena and mickie
YEAH YOUR RIGHT BUT ITS BETTER THAT WAY

This is for anyone who has been raped. What affect does that have on your relationships with men?
Do you have a hidden rage and anger problem which eventually affects your relationships/marriage?
This is for anyone who has been raped. What affect does that have on your relationships with men?
I never had a hidden rage against men but I came aware of how men can use you. I didn't trust ppl as well as I use to thats for sure. I had no anger for any other man unless they hurt me. But I will always carry my anger and hatred for the man that took advantage of me. I was raised well and they taught me how to move on and try to love again. I got hurt a lot after I was raped emotionally by guys but I knew that I would find someone out there that would love me and I did. The whole experience actually made me a stronger person. I been through a lot so I just used my pain that I was feeling emotionally to get on with my life...This is for anyone who has been raped. What affect does that have on your relationships with men?
it really didn't affect my relationship, it has been 10 yrs and i am still scared to be by myself anywhere. I will not even get on an elevator with someone i don't know by myself.
People do feel hard to be with the new person if they beed raped, they need time!
How do young people today view interracial relationships?
I'm a writer and attempting to do real life research. I am interesting in finding out from young people (18 and under) how interractial relationships are viewed in their schools, within thier groups of friends, and their communities. Please if you wouldn't mind indicate the part of the country you live in when you answer. Thanks.How do young people today view interracial relationships?
i'm 14, a freshman in high school, and i'll give it my best shot:
from what i see at my school, people in theory are okay with interracial relationships. white, indian (from india) and asian (chinese, taiwanese, japanese, korean... ) kids all date pretty much freely with each other.
latino students tend to stick to latino students, though there are a lot of exceptions to that. the exceptions tend to be with latina girls going out with white guys. it depends on how hardcore they are too. my friend karina says that if you're latino, the longer you've been in america, the more willing you are to go out with guys of other races. that's her perception of it.
black girls tend to go out with all races, mostly white or black, but black guys go out more with latina or black girls.
i don't think there's any real stigma. there are unwritten rules, but, no real issues with breaking them. people are hyper concious of racism.
i myself, my best friend is mexican and i have close friends of all races. i've never gone out with anyone, but i've had crushes on guys of all races.
i live in california, silicon valleyHow do young people today view interracial relationships?
If you are looking for 18 and under to answer how come you ask at this time of night when most are asleep for the school night?
Generally speaking, in my country, interracial relationships are not really a big deal although some people give weird looks if a native managed to ';snag'; a foreigner. hehehe:-)
Then again, in the history of our country, we've had more than 300 years of Spanish rule, more or less 50 years of American occupation, and about 3 years of Japanese occupation. Not to mention the fact that even before the Spanish came, the Chinese, Arabs, Indians had established ties with us. It's quite improbable that there have never been any mixes in our race (throughout history).
Some people find it great to have relations with foreigners because they think it's not just an ';improvement'; of the race but also as a sort improvement in the family or clan's social status.
On the other hand, that's much to the chagrin or disappointment of some locals who feel that foreigners get all the breaks.
I'm from the Philippines.
I'm 15 and I find that there's nothing wrong with it. I guess it's just your own preferance, and if people are too narrow-minded to accept that, tell them to go away..
its all good
i'M IN AN INTERACIAL REALTIONSHIP,I ENJOY BEING WITH SOMEONE DIFFERNT THAN ME.tHE CONTARSTS IN OUR SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL,THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING WITH SOMEONE DIFFERENT THAN YOU %26amp; LEARNING NEW THINGS.
It's totally great. I'm all for it.
im all for it
I live in NJ, I think your question would have went better in the polls and surveys section better but anyway I think interracial relationships are good. I do not have a problem with them personally unless someone of my culture whether be male or female believes that dating outside their race is doing better or going a step above the common man or woman of their own race. There are tons of high-profile couples in interracial relationships and they seem happy so more power to them.
I personally would not mind being in an interracial relationship but not solely for it being interracial, its just something different and I have been attracted to guys of different ethnicities yet I have mostly dated African Americans. My brother prefers Asians. You must understand where I live it is more accepted and many families are more diverse in my hometown so I am more open-minded than the average person. Hope this helps~!
I would say most people are secretly against it. It's a taboo in a taboo. People generally look down on them, but only in private, as racism is now socially unacceptable in public. Southern USA.
Obviously no one will say that here, as then they get branded a racist, and that's like the new red scare. Irony being I'm an interracial offspring myself.
I am a we bit past your age frame here but have a little knowledge.....I am white Australian and was married to a Filipino man for 21 years, we had 3 children together. So they are bi-racial, the eldest boy 26 likes white gals only, middle child 23 girl is gay but likes white gals only, third boy is 15 and likes Asians only!!.....and me have divorced the Filipino man and now married a Nigerian....have always liked the darker skin man and never dated a white fella ever!!!!.....sorry my bad!!!.....thought you may get something out of that answer!!!

What do you think about long distance relationships?
For example.
A guy that lives in Chicago, IL met a girl online that lives in the state of Washington. They both love each other and have fun together online.
They then start talking on phone. Untill one day if possible they meet each other in real life.
Age 15 for girl.. age 16 for the guy.
What do you think???What do you think about long distance relationships?
People can act different when their online
or on a phone
i wouldn't do itWhat do you think about long distance relationships?
long distance always end horribly sorry its the honest truth
Long distance relationships are terrible. All you'd like to do is maybe just hold hands with that person or give them a hug but you can't... the fact that the two can't do this may cause them to drive apart. I've been in one myself and would grow irritated with no physical interraction. It's human nature folks :P Point is, people can't develop true, solid relationships over phone or computer.
long distance relationship are total and complete bs! especially if you dont see each other. if it does last, when you get older and decide to move closer together you would be one of the few. good luck and hope it works out for you.
nothings wrong with it i guess
okay :p

If you move house in The Sims 2 :Freeplay do you lose all your relationships?
My character just managed to get Horatio to move in with her and I want them to move house. If I do that will my character lose her job? And will Horatio still live with her? Also, do you lose all your relationships with other sims?If you move house in The Sims 2 :Freeplay do you lose all your relationships?
If you're talking about moving the family to another house within the same neighborhood/sub-neighborhood attached to the neighborhood, then no, your Sims won't lose their jobs or relationships.
However, if you're talking about moving them to another neighborhood, then yes, your characters will lose their relationships, but not their jobs.
Horatio will continue to live with her unless you for some reason separate them.

Not to mention the fact that even before the Spanish came, the Chinese, Arabs, Indians had established ties with us. It's quite improbable that there have never been any mixes in our race (throughout history).
Some people find it great to have relations with foreigners because they think it's not just an ';improvement'; of the race but also as a sort improvement in the family or clan's social status.
On the other hand, that's much to the chagrin or disappointment of some locals who feel that foreigners get all the breaks.
I'm from the Philippines.
I'm 15 and I find that there's nothing wrong with it. I guess it's just your own preferance, and if people are too narrow-minded to accept that, tell them to go away..
its all good
i'M IN AN INTERACIAL REALTIONSHIP,I ENJOY BEING WITH SOMEONE DIFFERNT THAN ME.tHE CONTARSTS IN OUR SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL,THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING WITH SOMEONE DIFFERENT THAN YOU %26amp; LEARNING NEW THINGS.
It's totally great. I'm all for it.
im all for it
I live in NJ, I think your question would have went better in the polls and surveys section better but anyway I think interracial relationships are good. I do not have a problem with them personally unless someone of my culture whether be male or female believes that dating outside their race is doing better or going a step above the common man or woman of their own race. There are tons of high-profile couples in interracial relationships and they seem happy so more power to them.
I personally would not mind being in an interracial relationship but not solely for it being interracial, its just something different and I have been attracted to guys of different ethnicities yet I have mostly dated African Americans. My brother prefers Asians. You must understand where I live it is more accepted and many families are more diverse in my hometown so I am more open-minded than the average person. Hope this helps~!
I would say most people are secretly against it. It's a taboo in a taboo. People generally look down on them, but only in private, as racism is now socially unacceptable in public. Southern USA.
Obviously no one will say that here, as then they get branded a racist, and that's like the new red scare. Irony being I'm an interracial offspring myself.
I am a we bit past your age frame here but have a little knowledge.....I am white Australian and was married to a Filipino man for 21 years, we had 3 children together. So they are bi-racial, the eldest boy 26 likes white gals only, middle child 23 girl is gay but likes white gals only, third boy is 15 and likes Asians only!!.....and me have divorced the Filipino man and now married a Nigerian....have always liked the darker skin man and never dated a white fella ever!!!!.....sorry my bad!!!.....thought you may get something out of that answer!!!
What do you think about long distance relationships?
For example.
A guy that lives in Chicago, IL met a girl online that lives in the state of Washington. They both love each other and have fun together online.
They then start talking on phone. Untill one day if possible they meet each other in real life.
Age 15 for girl.. age 16 for the guy.
What do you think???What do you think about long distance relationships?

very cool question ii wanted to ask myself .!;What do you think about long distance relationships?
long distance always end horribly sorry its the honest truth
it can work out.
it depends on the people and if they trust each other.
Long distance relationships are terrible. All you'd like to do is maybe just hold hands with that person or give them a hug but you can't... the fact that the two can't do this may cause them to drive apart. I've been in one myself and would grow irritated with no physical interraction. It's human nature folks :P Point is, people can't develop true, solid relationships over phone or computer.
nothings wrong with it i guess
People can act different when their online
or on a phone
i wouldn't do it
stranger things have happen in life why not
long distance relationship are total and complete bs! especially if you dont see each other. if it does last, when you get older and decide to move closer together you would be one of the few. good luck and hope it works out for you.
No point of it when you don't get to see each other.
ha good luck
Damn, pedophiles are out there.
Really be careful.
To be sure he isn't,
Talk to him on webcam, to be safe.
And chances are long distance relationships don't work out.
I know from experience
But then again it might.
Goodluck.

A female friend suggested to me that relationships between people from different cultures are exciting ?
at first but ultimately they fail because of the differences arising from the different backgrounds. Do you agree?A female friend suggested to me that relationships between people from different cultures are exciting ?
married to a person from another culture( sometimes i swear another world! )
been married for 10 years. if your the woman most prob, you will have to deal with his expectations of raising his kids the way his mother did it....... which an be a problem being you may not like his mother (i dont! ha ha)
personally i dont feel i had issues with him while i lived in my country. (USA) but about four years ago we moved to his country. (middle east) it is nice but i feel him being in his country has made him different. for example. he spends alot of time with his friends outside the house, which is the norm here for men. but i find very rude and offensive. so this is where the culture difference comes into play. he going back to his Traditions, which you may not understand. it was exciting when i first moved here...........now most of it just gets on my dam nerves.
LOL
now does it fail........ it depends on the female i guess. how much is she willing to adjust to the different LifeStyle.??? because in my experience and others i know who r married to a man.........it is always the woman who does the changing........not the man.
if she can adjust then she will make it. if not then yes i agree it will fail.
just because one fails..........doesnt mean they all will. A female friend suggested to me that relationships between people from different cultures are exciting ?
No. Its not first because you have to adapt to their culture you don't even know if you will like that culture, if you are a girl you have to learn how to cook their food. They have different traditions. You will have problems at the beginning. I don't think is exciting
No, don't agree, I have been with a girl from a different background/culture for the past 4 years and find its the person she is that makes me want to stay with her, her culture I can adapt to.
yes, most of the time that is true. once you get over the excitement of the sex the cultural differences will separate you.
No.
yes and no.

Is it true that the best relationships come out of friendships?
I heard this in |He's just not that into you|
..but I'm sure it's a commonly-used, commonly-known saying.
Are you Y!ers living proof of this?Is it true that the best relationships come out of friendships?

I think that to have a great relationship, there needs to be an outstanding friendship as a foundation. Two people can't truly be in love if they aren't loving friends in the first place. So there's definitely truth to the statement.
YES!!!
Your partner should be your best friend!!!
You should be able to share everything with them!!pores

Do attractive people have less genuine relationships ?
Do you think beautiful people have more phony relationships ?
If you are hot you are most likey to attract a lot of people and get a lot of attention. And you can't have genuine relationships with EVERYONE you meet.
I have a beautiful friend who attracts alot of men. They are friendly at first but they come and go just as fast. Every 3 weeks it's a new guy promising love then they disappear.
Is i harder to have genuine relationships with a good looking person ? If you attract alot of phony people - does it mean you are good looking ?Do attractive people have less genuine relationships ?
Not at all
SteveCDo attractive people have less genuine relationships ?
Statistics show that most couple find less attractive womans/mens to marry because they feel as if they wont get cheated / played / left

What do people think about highschool relationships?
Do they last into adulthood and marriage?
How different is dating in highschool and dating in early adulthood when relationships are in preparation for marriage?What do people think about highschool relationships?
Well being at this stage myself I would say they are 99.9% pointless. Not a likely chance you will marry the person or even date the person after highschool. I don't think most guys are even looking for someone that could potentially be a good life partner, just whoever is the hottest. So with all the relationships running rampant mostly it's due to the fact that people are using each other for their outer attractiveness. Pretty external if you ask me.What do people think about highschool relationships?
No. 99.9% do not last long term.
mine did, we've been married since 91, started dating when i was 14, he was 16

that b**ches are moody!What have you learned from past relationships?
i;ve learned that i will never cheat because being cheat on hurts extremely bad. i've also learned girls and guys are very different from each other and you just have to accept it because if you try to make them like you and think everything you thought then there will be a lot of fighting. im a believer in opposites attract because if you are the exact same as them then you are pretty much dating yourself... but yes i think tthere should be some similarities...
You really cant trust who your with unless your married , trust me . I trusted my ex completely like 98% . And i checked throught his texts ; he was texting about 4 chicks and one of them said '; i love you papi'; i was in complete shock and they he was talking to his ex about how he was thinking about her . dont trust .

Didn't Deming recommend building good relationships with suppliers ? I read that the chef Tetsuya in Sydney
used to, and still does, fly to Tasmania to visit a supplier. Would a big computerisation project ever bother doing this kind of thing ?Didn't Deming recommend building good relationships with suppliers ? I read that the chef Tetsuya in Sydney
Why not. What is the middle term between good and bad in relationships? I don't know of one.....indifferent? Are you that stupid?Didn't Deming recommend building good relationships with suppliers ? I read that the chef Tetsuya in Sydney
i guess so
Wonderful thing the computer, I know buyers who never visit suppliers, just send emails (not even phone).
One company (major multinational - tens of billions turnover), used to send its suppliers an automated production update every day, for every component. Now with each component being dependent on the others, any change in one affected all of them, so the changes were endless and incrementally confusing.
Talk to people, make sure they all know what they are supposed to be doing. Co-operation works, Deming was right and the modern blame culture helps keep poor quality managers in place.pores

I Have trouble being committed to relationships?
I am currently with this guy, and hes a dream guy, you know (into charity, ultra genius, romantic, nice, cute, compassionate and has chilvary) But i have trouble being commited to him. I don't cheat, but i hate the idea of being in a relationship with him or anyone. Any ideas?I Have trouble being committed to relationships?
You can't force yourself if you hate the idea.
Explain to your guy your feelings and be as open and honest as possible. Ask him if you two can come to an agreement that will be a comfortable fit for you both.I Have trouble being committed to relationships?
maybe you just aren't ready to commit -- have you been hurt before? i guess in order to get over the commitment issue - you first need to find out what makes you feel like that.... find out the issue and then go from there!

Why does gay relationships last way longer then straight relationships?
i realize A LOT gay people(or lesbians) have long steady stable relationships. a lot of straight people has crazy somewhat unpredictable relationships and most of the time it doesnt even last long. why is that?Why does gay relationships last way longer then straight relationships?
Just a guess from a straight female, I would think that it is because people in gay relationships are automatically united in the fight for gay rights. This unity automatically brings a level of a bond between the two parties in a gay relationship. People in a heterosexual relationship do not have this type of force to put them on the same page from the door.Why does gay relationships last way longer then straight relationships?
I would say because their is alot more open options in the straight world then gay one... Also as you get older gays don't have to often worry about children and when they do they are positive of it... Where as straight people the relationship crumbles around children, just watch the movie Marley and Me and watch how their family changes...
Also I would think that some gay people that don't know many other people to be with stick to a relationship and work on it because they don't know anyone else, as well as their wouldn't be any other competition for affection?
Hmmm I do not have enough experience in either of those types of relationships to confirm what you are saying, but I will take your word on it. If I had to make an educated guess as to why homosexual couples last longer than heterosexual ones, I would probably have to say that it has something to do with the ';outsider'; mentality. Now PLEASE do not take this the wrong way, because I promise in no way shape or form am I anti-gay...in fact I am a part of a club at my school that supports equal rights for all sexual preferences :))) What I mean by outsider mentality, is that when a certain person is outcast because of the way they act, then that person finds other people going through the same thing and they stick together no matter what, because they are all they have. A better way to illustrate this would be like how in most high schools the band kids are seen as ';weird,'; which is a sad but true fact at my school :( Therefore, all of these kids who were cast out from the ';normal'; people came together to form an extra special and unbreakable bond because they know that the people they are surrounded by now not only like them, but they like them for who they REALLY are. This same principle can be applied to homosexual people by comparing them to the band kids and the so called ';normal'; people (aka people that are afraid of those who are different) are representative of society. People sometimes outcast homosexuals because they do not understand their lifestyle, when it is really none of their business in the first place. Therefore, that makes the gay community much STRONGER, and far more UNIFIED, that most straight people since they have not had to go through the struggle of being discriminated against. Also, I think that gay people have had to go through so much hatred to be able to be with a partner of their own sex, that they are far less willing to give it up as easily as straight people. :)))
Usually straight relationships that fell apart, did because of ';gender typical'; issues. There is less of a difference between the way two guys or two girls think then the way a guy and a girl think. We're on a more similar wavelength with each other usually. Sure, it's stereotypical, but it's still true. We haven't evolved THAT much.
Take a look at the divorce rates in The Netherlands over the last 18 years since they legalized civil unions for gays. It's dropped.
I think you may be looking at the wrong straight people!
I've been married for nearly 40 years and we dated for three years prior. So how does that relate your your scenario?
My parents just celebrated 60 years. How does that relate to your scenario?
My daughter will have been married for 10 years this coming July. How does that relate to your scenario?
Please do not generalize. A lot of gay people don't stay in relationships either. A lot do.
I think it might be that because there are a much smaller number of gay people than straight people, so right off the bat it's harder to find somebody, which may make us treasure our relationships more. Also, most of us can easily relate to each other due to similar experiences with coming out, discrimination, etc.
Meh, that's just my take on it d:
usually because the same gender means the same influences or the same problems, its usually what I've seen is that its because they're more connected because of the same gender.
The opposite genders dont have much of an idea and dont understand the otehr gender so much and may even be offensive without realizing it. Its just a matter of genders understanding their own gender
lesbians mate for life, it drives me crazy. Gay men, not so much, not that I have found anyway. But lesbians, absolutely. Men are pigs, bottomline really.
You can't generalize.
Having a long term relationship doesn't depend on whether you're heterosexual or GLBT.
Good luck.
;-)
thats not true. my cousin is 23 and a lesbian. every time i see her she has a different woman on her arms. and she is still dealing with 2 of her exes from the past, plus the new gal. talk about a player.
Gay and lesbian people have a better chance of seeing the spiritual and emotional parts of the relationship, then comes the other things.....%26gt;.%26gt;
^_^
My life is a living testament to the opposite. I have only had two serious relationships, and they both died (one literally) in just under two years.
we have a better understanding of what love is because we have to fight harder for ours.
just a shot in the dark though. :] haha
Er - do you have statistical evidence to support that sweeping assertion?
Is that really your picture? It's very sweet.
we got more in common!!!!!!!!! and are more mature and love each other uncoditionally.... we're open minded plp since we are gay so i guess we don't fight a lot...
still looking for a bf!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't noticed that among my friends or family.
I think It's because we're more emotional. All of my relationships have lastest for years
In all relationships ,we don't know how to get through the hard times.We weren't taught anything.
i dont believe that i have alot of gay friends and i can make it longer then them whores
some people may not like what they find out.
I ain't so .
whos that in the picture!?
you guys are hot
I beg to differ...I think its the exact opposite.

Where as straight people the relationship crumbles around children, just watch the movie Marley and Me and watch how their family changes...
Also I would think that some gay people that don't know many other people to be with stick to a relationship and work on it because they don't know anyone else, as well as their wouldn't be any other competition for affection?
Hmmm I do not have enough experience in either of those types of relationships to confirm what you are saying, but I will take your word on it. If I had to make an educated guess as to why homosexual couples last longer than heterosexual ones, I would probably have to say that it has something to do with the ';outsider'; mentality. Now PLEASE do not take this the wrong way, because I promise in no way shape or form am I anti-gay...in fact I am a part of a club at my school that supports equal rights for all sexual preferences :))) What I mean by outsider mentality, is that when a certain person is outcast because of the way they act, then that person finds other people going through the same thing and they stick together no matter what, because they are all they have. A better way to illustrate this would be like how in most high schools the band kids are seen as ';weird,'; which is a sad but true fact at my school :( Therefore, all of these kids who were cast out from the ';normal'; people came together to form an extra special and unbreakable bond because they know that the people they are surrounded by now not only like them, but they like them for who they REALLY are. This same principle can be applied to homosexual people by comparing them to the band kids and the so called ';normal'; people (aka people that are afraid of those who are different) are representative of society. People sometimes outcast homosexuals because they do not understand their lifestyle, when it is really none of their business in the first place. Therefore, that makes the gay community much STRONGER, and far more UNIFIED, that most straight people since they have not had to go through the struggle of being discriminated against. Also, I think that gay people have had to go through so much hatred to be able to be with a partner of their own sex, that they are far less willing to give it up as easily as straight people. :)))
Usually straight relationships that fell apart, did because of ';gender typical'; issues. There is less of a difference between the way two guys or two girls think then the way a guy and a girl think. We're on a more similar wavelength with each other usually. Sure, it's stereotypical, but it's still true. We haven't evolved THAT much.
Take a look at the divorce rates in The Netherlands over the last 18 years since they legalized civil unions for gays. It's dropped.
I think you may be looking at the wrong straight people!
I've been married for nearly 40 years and we dated for three years prior. So how does that relate your your scenario?
My parents just celebrated 60 years. How does that relate to your scenario?
My daughter will have been married for 10 years this coming July. How does that relate to your scenario?
Please do not generalize. A lot of gay people don't stay in relationships either. A lot do.
I think it might be that because there are a much smaller number of gay people than straight people, so right off the bat it's harder to find somebody, which may make us treasure our relationships more. Also, most of us can easily relate to each other due to similar experiences with coming out, discrimination, etc.
Meh, that's just my take on it d:
usually because the same gender means the same influences or the same problems, its usually what I've seen is that its because they're more connected because of the same gender.
The opposite genders dont have much of an idea and dont understand the otehr gender so much and may even be offensive without realizing it. Its just a matter of genders understanding their own gender
lesbians mate for life, it drives me crazy. Gay men, not so much, not that I have found anyway. But lesbians, absolutely. Men are pigs, bottomline really.
You can't generalize.
Having a long term relationship doesn't depend on whether you're heterosexual or GLBT.
Good luck.
;-)
thats not true. my cousin is 23 and a lesbian. every time i see her she has a different woman on her arms. and she is still dealing with 2 of her exes from the past, plus the new gal. talk about a player.
Gay and lesbian people have a better chance of seeing the spiritual and emotional parts of the relationship, then comes the other things.....%26gt;.%26gt;
^_^
My life is a living testament to the opposite. I have only had two serious relationships, and they both died (one literally) in just under two years.
we have a better understanding of what love is because we have to fight harder for ours.
just a shot in the dark though. :] haha
Er - do you have statistical evidence to support that sweeping assertion?
Is that really your picture? It's very sweet.
we got more in common!!!!!!!!! and are more mature and love each other uncoditionally.... we're open minded plp since we are gay so i guess we don't fight a lot...
still looking for a bf!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't noticed that among my friends or family.
I think It's because we're more emotional. All of my relationships have lastest for years
In all relationships ,we don't know how to get through the hard times.We weren't taught anything.
i dont believe that i have alot of gay friends and i can make it longer then them whores
some people may not like what they find out.
I ain't so .
whos that in the picture!?
you guys are hot
I beg to differ...I think its the exact opposite.
