If you were given 48 hours to spend as much as you wanted on anything you wanted, go anywhere you wanted, to be with anyone you wanted, what would you do?

i went to this dating website a year ago and someone who is my superior found me there. i figured out it was him and he also knew it was me. the thing is, he has sent me two emails I haven't opened because I won't put myself in a vulnerable position but how come the guy still goes online like once per week. and i know he's not writing to other ladies. i know that if this individual were trustworthy, he would send me a private email where I can read what he has to say in peace and without him knowing whether I have actually opened the email. should I just avoid him?

thanks

The Oral stage: (occuring in first 18 months of life) where the infant obtains satisfaction from eating, sucking and other activities using the mouth..

The Anal stage: (Occuring Between 18-36 months). Toilet training akes place during this stage, apparently accord to Freud explains the reason why the anal region is so important.

Phallic Stage: (Occuring between 3-6 years of age) Boys become closer to their mothers and see their father as a rival... Girls see their mother as a rival and become closer to their father... There is more on this stage but it is alittle fanciful.

Latency stage: (age 6 till puberty) girls and boys are distant from each other...

Genital stage: Girls become closer to boys, and Vice versa...

I'm an Alevel Psychology student and would like to hear your views and opinions on Freud's Pychosexual Development theory... This is for a college assignment, given by my tutor...

I'm writing a novel about a main character that loses all self control. I want to see what people generally feel and think when they're angry enough that they have to use self control not to do something illegal.

I have never really believed in coincidences, but recently a lot of incredible coincidences have started to happen to me.

The odds of some of these things happening must be incredible.
Anyone ever heard any theories on coincidences?

I am really confused with this whole sex thing. I could write a novel describing exactly why I am so confused but I'll try to make this as short as I can.

My family is somewhat relgious and I spent a better part of my childhood going to Sunday School. I wouldn't consider myself extremely religious but I do base a lot of my moral decisions off my religious beliefs. Basically I was unintentionally taught (I wasn't directly told this but it was implied and I learned over time) that sex is basically dirty and disgusting and is a sin and you should only save it for marriage/ someone you love.

This is what I don't get: If sex is dirty and is sinful and all those bad evil things, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE? Why would you want to do such an evil thing to someone you love? It doesn't make sense.

My head is about to explode because I just don't understand it. I'm literally afraid to do anything sexual related because of this. I need help I know.

I know for a fact that there are alot of ditzy girls / ladies out there who have the act down so good. The height of this manipulation - Jessica Simpson.
I see it over and over again - when guys first meet these girls... aw they're so cute and their stupidity just makes them cuter. They make you laugh at their witless comments, and even seem completely shocked that you find them to be an airhead. They giggle though because they love the attention it brings them.
For example - Jessica Simpson in 'Newlyweds' at a restaurant with Nick and a friend. Nick suggests she try some buffalo wings - she says, 'Oh no I don't eat buffalo'. Nick just looks at her, obviously annoyed with her stupid comments at this stage of their relationship. She is used to the act being 'cute' and carries on with the charade. 'What?'.. she says looking around with a blank look. Her friend informs her it's actually chicken. 'Oh!' Then she starts laughing at herself stupidly.
Who else finds this annoying?

Why do I suddenly feel the need to be mean and hateful to people that have been nothing but nice to me, and have never had one bad thing to say about or to me?

THAT IS, with my Non-existent Love Life

There's a guy at my church that I am interested in but have not talked with formally---(We'll call him J.R.)

Anyway another guy (We'll call him J.F.) and his family were announced by the pastor as distinguished visitors. J.F. is a freshman at a Distinguished College, and I happen to go to another Distinguished College across the street.

Anyway I introduced myself to J.F. just to be nice to say (hey I go to a neaby college), BUT His parents got so excited that they wanted me to take pictures with him ----So I once again obliged to be nice.

Anyway, J.R., (whom I have a crush on) happened to walk by and J.F.'s mother asked him to take our (me and J.F.'s) picture.

NOOOOOO!!!-----My crush took the picture of Just me and J.F. (it was like a couple's picture)

NOWWW!!!----J.R. probably thinks that me and and J.F. will be a possible couple---NOOOOO!!!! I'm NOT Taken!!! I'll look unavailable to J.R.

I was just trying to be nice and it stabbed me i

I have a fear of intimacy, which extends to all levels. I've never had a romantic relationship with anyone, and I also have problems expressing intimacy in a non-romantic sense i.e. with family members.

All through my life, there was a kind of intimacy barrier between myself and my parents which I didn't really notice. Now that there are new additions to the family in the form of babies (niece and nephew), the problem has become even more noticeable. When asked to cuddle the babies, handle them, sing to them or talk to them in a particular way, I become very frightened. Its now at the point where I'm trying everything to avoid visiting them. Now, family members are starting to notice....

Why have I become like this, and what can I do to overcome this fear?

I know i'm 15 and that these things are natural. but is there any way to lower my lustful thought? I've gone out before and it seemed like I've liked a girl, then later on figure out it just physical attraction. I just want to be able to love someone without wondering if it's just sexual attraction clouding my judgment. so I was wondering if there was any way to lower this to a more controlled level.
