Open Question: does he like me? or should i give up, and just be friends with him, like we already are? HELP ME!?my ex boyfriend and i were hanging out as friends though. well sometime ago he told me that he would kiss me, and he DID kiss me. but we're NOT dating. he does things to me that he would do to a girlfriend, but i don't have a problem with that, because he still knows that i like him a lot. he always touches me, and i touch him too, mostly because he doesn't care, he likes it when i touch him, and i do too. Friday, at school, he saved me a spot so we could sit together. he walked with me the entire day. we made up silly jokes. (and MOST importantly, i had gotten my phone taken away and i was using my grandma's phone so i could talk to him. he was all caring because he said, "i don't want you to get into anymore trouble."). he made me feel like he still likes me, but some times i don't know. please tell me, what do you people think? does he still like me? i get the feeling like he's gunna say/do something on my birthday, which is in 7 days. is he planning on asking me out? or are we gunna be friends forever, like he said? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE HELP! :) Open Question: Can you help me with Harvard Referencing?I'm an undergraduate student who requires a little help with referencing! I understand Harvard Referencing, e.g. surname, date and page number in brackets after a quotation, and then author, date, italicised title, place of publication and publisher in the references/bibliography at the end. Example: Nietzsche 'finds that even the most radical of contemporary freethinkers still believe in "Truth" itself' (Morgan 1943: 241). This indicates ... Then in the bibliography: Morgan, G. A. (1943) What Nietzsche Means, Cambridge, Harvard University Press. BUT my problem comes with referencing older books. So if I were to quote Nietzsche, would I use the date of his original publication or the date of the copy I hold? My example being 'The Genealogy of Morals', which was originally published in 1887, but my copy was printed in 2003. Which do I use? Another problem is that my 2003 edition is a reprint of a 1913 translation - should I use this? One referencing guide I found online recommended referencing the original date and the newer date, like: (Nietzsche [1887] 2003: 45). But others have said just use the original date (in which case, how do you know which translator's copy and edition have been used?) and others have said use the newer date (which would suggest that Nietzsche wrote the book in 2003!) and others have said use the date of the original publication of the translation (i.e. 1913 - but then it won't take into account any edits made in future editions). Which date/s should I reference?! Your help would be greatly appreciated! Another related query is whether I should put the translator's name in the bibliography too. Example: Nietzsche, F. (1887) The Genealogy of Morals (trans. Samuel, H. B.), New York, Dover Publications Inc. Or whether, I should leave out the translator's name. Example: Nietzsche, F. (1887) The Genealogy of Morals, New York, Dover Publications Inc. Again, thanks for your help! (Side comment: I've seen 3 different titles for this book, 'The Genealogy of Morals', 'On The Genealogy of Morals' and 'On The Genealogy of Morality' - if the translators can't even agree on a title, how am I meant to get an accurate idea of Nietzsche's philosophy without reading it in the original German?!) Open Question: I need some insight on my boyfriend... I'm about to go crazy trying to figure him out! Please help?Long but PLEASE read. He is 30 and I am 25. We dated last year for about 4 months... things were amazing, he told me he loved me, it was awesome then things fell apart because he decided he wasn't ready for another relationship (just got out of a 10 year one), he broke my heart. I begged and pleaded. He would call me at 2am to "come out for a bit" and then wouldn't talk to me the next day. I was miserable and just wanted another chance. Well, about 5 months ago came that chance. He told me he was ready, a lot thats on his plate is gone and he is clear-minded. We had a BLAST over the summer, bonfires by ourselves, fishing, going to the beach, etc. We are PERFECT together and we don't need anyone else. We have so much fun alone and just click. We spend every weekend together and it wasn't like that the first time we dated. Things took a turn for the worst about 2 weeks ago. He seemed distant, not as loving, didn't kiss me as much and didn't seem "into" me (a girl can sense this change), still spent all of his free time with me tho, cuddled me and held me in bed, laughed with me and took me to family functions. He never tells me how he feels. So Saturday I brought it up, and he said he "just can't tell me he loves me" and he has been through a lot... he said I'm awesome, he likes what we have right now, etc. and its more than just friends. He does still take me to family functions, buys food for me when we go out (gets me a drink even tho I said I didn't need one) and is nice to me. But the texting "good morning babe" has stopped, I called him tonight and he didn't call me back, stopped texting back, stopped making plans first but still agrees with me on plans... hangs out with me all the time still, but doesn't ask for kisses anymore... hardly ever kisses me and when I kiss him it seems forced. We hang out all the time on weekends so I know there is not another girl - but his sex drive has dropped off too. We used to have sex 2-3 times a week now its down to once every 7-10 days or so...I know he is having money problems and is stressed about his job, but still! I ask him whats wrong and get "why does something always have to be wrong? im just stressed and really tired" I don't want to lose him and I don't know why but I don't. I love him so much, I could never see myself with anyone else, It would make me sick to have him leave my life and potentially be with another woman. Today I texted him and told him to have a good day and got "you too babe" back. I don't know. I'M SO CONFUSED and I can't talk to him anymore or it will push him away more. Some of my friends think he is keeping me around to fill an empty house hoping his ex will come back. Others think I'm over reacting. What should I do? Open Question: Fiance and i are having a rough time...?I have a few questions that maybe some of you can answer. Me and my "fiance" have been dating for almost 4 years now. We have been engaged for a year now, only one problem, about three weeks ago she gave me the ring back and said she needed her space. I said ok, obviously devistated, and let her think things out. She gave me reasons like she feels like an 80 year old couple (we are 24 and 23 respectively), we dont go out and do anything, and she is getting bored. After aboout a week and a half or two weeks, we got together and talked through some things. We are now "working things out", she still has the ring, but doesnt wear it. She seems very distant still, and there is no touching at all right now. We used to be very active sexually, but lately (i would say the last year or so), not so much, maybe once a month. She said she doesnt feel excited to see me anymore, and that she doesnt feel the spark we used to have. Sometimes she feels like i am pestering her when i rub her legs or anything. This is very tough on me, and i am willing to do whatever i can to make things work between us, after all i really do love her, and she says she loves me. I have tried to make dinner plans with her, and i even made a suprise bubble bath for her thinking that it would be sweet, didnt get much of a reaction at all. I'm trying really hard to rekindle our past passion, but nothing seems to work. She has been stressed from work and school, but what else can i do? Any suggestions on what i can do to save our relationship? Open Question: She's dating someone else.... But then again.....?I got to know this girl about six months ago. We didn't talk a lot, but even then I kinda had a thing for her. But I was dating someone else and so was she, so I just shut it all out for that time. Over the summer, while we still were both dating other people, we started txting each other out of the blue. She's such a great girl, funny, attractive and exactly my type. But again, we were dating other people, so I blocked it out. However, we didn't stop texting each other... We would talk abt everything, including problems in our current relationships. After texting for a month or so she started telling me goodnight and "sweet dreams" after we'd talk or even days when we didn't talk at all. The very first time she texted me "goodnight" she said she needed to tell someone goodnight and she needed to be told it in return before going to bed. I wondered briefly why she wasn't texting this to her boyfriend (Or maybe she did both????) But I didn't think much of it, and besides, we were still dating others. I broke up with my girlfriend a couple months ago. It was one of those bad breakups and this girl kinda helped me through it. Her random "goodnight" txts would always hit me right when I needed them. We recently hung out for the first time by her request. It was me and her along with my sister and her boyfriend. It was just at my house and we hung out and walked drove over to a nearby creek. Nothing really special.... But all this is re-sparking my feelings for her, but she is still dating her boyfriend of two years. I deliberately bring him up sometimes and she doesn't seem to eager to talk about him or even shrugs him off. But I'm worried that I may just be seeing what I want to see, like maybe I'm exaggerating this in my head or I missed a joke or something.... The actual story is that I told her that her English teacher would go easy on her if she told her she knew me. She laughed and so I threw in that she could let her boyfriend do the same, and that's when she seemed to shrug him off. So is this girl viewing me as a friend or something more? Honest answers appreciated :) Open Question: Dating someone suicidal?!?!?So i met a guy two years ago. At this time he was a perfectly happy person with a great life and family. He asked me out and i rejected him, because it just wasn't the right time. Over the last two years, he's kind of been falling apart and i guess he is clinically depressed and a bit suicidal. He's been one of my best friends since i met him and i really love him as a friend. Even though he's tried his hardest to only be friends, because that's what i wanted, i know that he still has stronger feelings for me. And...well...i guess i kind of would like to take it to the next level. I want to go out with him. The only problem is that i don't want to be that girl who gets into a complicated relationship because someone's suicidal. I'm a pretty independent person, and i'm afraid he would be too clingy. But i really love him, and I know we would really be great together. So what i guess i'm asking is...does anyone have any thoughts or experiences of their own that they would like to share? I'm just a little confused about what to do.... Thanks you everyone! =) Open Question: How do I get over this divorce? It was not my decision at all?The wife cheated on me twice during our courtship, and once during our marriage (with 3 strangers she met at parties). Blamed it on the liquor/being drunk/having low self esteem/being sad in our marriage. I had a temper problem throughout the marriage, but I never laid a finger on her, (I yelled). She wanted to go out bar hopping and clubbing with her girlfriends, and I am not that personality type, I like to go out get a beer or two and come back home, watch TV, or go out for dinner with friends. So that was another huge lifestyle difference. She decided she had fallen out of love with me, and about a month ago, filed for divorce and moved back to our home town in Atlanta. I'm stuck in Chicago, where we recently moved together. I had so much stability, and now I live in abject loneliness. Every morning, we'd wake up together, and now its an empty bed. The days go on and on, I have absolutely no friends since I'm in a new city, I go to Panera bread or Starbucks just to be around human beings. I feel like I am staring down an extremely steep hill, and I just feel overwhelmed. If you guys can say anything constructive that I could possibly use as a tool to get over this stuff, I would appreciate it. I'm terrified of the time and extent of the loneliness that I predict I will have to live through before I can enter into another relationship, and the whole process of dating, rejection is just so overwhelming to me that I hate waking up every morning, I just keep laying in bed for hours and hours. I'm in counseling, but its once a week (all I can afford), nothing seems to keep me ticking these days. Open Question: What do I do here? (Drama Filled Story Attached!!!)?I got to know this girl about six months ago. We didn't talk a lot, but even then I kinda had a thing for her. But I was dating someone else and so was she, so I just shut it all out for that time. Over the summer, while we still were both dating other people, we started txting each other out of the blue.

Honest answers appreciated :) Open Question: What is the problem in my relationship with my girlfriend? It really hurts sometimes?I have been dating my girlfriend for 14 months. She is very social and bubbly type and loves surrounding herself with friends and being the life of the party. I'm not quite like that, I'm more of a quiet type but I still love having fun. I love her very much, and she says she loves me too. However recently somethings come up that has been making things difficult... Whenever we hang out with a group of friends she is always socializing and flirting with the other guys there, and seeing her like that while I'm right there makes me feel ignored and worthless. We've sort of talked about it before, and I've let her know that I don't have a problem with her wanting to be friendly with other guys, bc i'm not that type of jealous clingy guy who cares about that stuff. But I feel like I don't excite her and make her as happy as other friends do. I don't know how to word this to her because I've tried before and nothing changes. There are sometimes where she makes me believe that she really is deeply in love with me and it makes me extremely happy, but then other times I feel brushed aside. I've been slightly depressed about this and other issues in my life right now And I really want to be able to be happy again. The last thing I want is for this relationship to end, and she has told me before that she knows there's something wrong and wants to fix it but she doesn't understand it the way I see it. Am I being to jealous/emotional about all this? Should I just realize that when were with a big group she wants to spend time with other friends and I can have her when were alone? If I try and sit down with her and explain this all and how much its hurting me, will she want to break up? I'm just really in need of help. Open Question: Any ideas/ good pictures for something like this? Mayan Decline ANd dissapearance?i gotta do an isu presentation for 30 minutes!! its soo hard on the mayan decline and dissapearance all i got so far is Maya Civilization, an ancient Native American culture that represented one of the most advanced civilizations in the western hemisphere before the arrival of Europeans. The people known as the Maya lived in the region that is now eastern and southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and western Honduras. They thrived for more than 2,000 years. The Maya built massive stone pyramids, temples, and sculpture; developed a system of writing using hieroglyphs; and recorded their achievements in mathematics and astronomy. Archaeologists long believed that Maya culture reached its highest development from about ad 300 to 900, during what is known as the Classic period. Recent discoveries in northern Guatemala, however, have challenged that assumption. There, archaeologists have found highly developed cities, sophisticated art, and examples of Maya writing that date from as early as 600 years before the Classic period began. After 900 the Maya mysteriously declined in the southern lowlands of Guatemala. They later revived in the north on the Yucatán Peninsula and continued to dominate the area until the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Descendants of the Maya still form a large part of the population of the region. Although many have adopted Spanish ways, a significant number of modern Maya maintain traditional cultural practices. From about ad 790 to 889, Classic Maya civilization in the lowlands collapsed. Construction of temples and palaces ceased, and monuments were no longer erected. The Maya abandoned the great lowland cities, and population levels declined drastically, especially in the southern and central lowlands. Scholars debate the causes of the collapse, but they are in general agreement that it was a gradual process of disintegration rather than a sudden dramatic event. A number of factors were almost certainly involved, and the precise causes were different for each city-state in each region of the lowlands. Among the factors that have been suggested are natural disasters, disease, soil exhaustion and other agricultural problems, peasant revolts, internal warfare, and foreign invasions. Whatever factors led to the collapse, their net result was a weakening of lowland Maya social, economic, and political systems to the point where they could no longer support large populations. Another result was the loss of inestimable amounts of knowledge relating to Maya religion and ritual. i know he doesnt expect me to talk for 30 min i hope, i can make a powerpoint adn a class involvement game or activity, but i really dont know what kind of pictures to put on it, he said i can talk a little about the mayans and who they were because theres not much to talk about on how they declined/dissapeared, any help on what to do or what pictures i can get and a lil explanation about them would be appreaite!!
