I am 28 years old and I am currently living in Sweden, where I have been dating a great Swedish guy for the past 17 months, but I am thinking about breaking up with him because things are getting too serious since he has been talking about getting married lately, I love him sooooo much but I just don't think I could ever settle down. How can I get over being a serial dater and just settle down ?
Details:
-I am 28 and my boyfriend is 30, I am turning 29 in March !
-This is the longest relationship I have ever been in
-I have lived in the US(I am an American), Italy, France, and now Sweden
-I have dated more men then I can count :(
-My average relationship last about 3 months, then I usually dump them
-I have been proposed to 4 times
-I was engaged once for two months and then broke up with him
-I really want to have a husband and children (Many of my friends already do !!!)
-I am just nervous about getting married because I always feel like there might be something better
Answer on How can I STOP dating ?
If you want different results, you have to change the ingredients. You put flour, milk, eggs and oil in a bowl and stir it, you can ask for broccoli, but you'll get pancakes everytime!
Your dating habits aren't the problem(especially in Europe, I know!) neither is the number of men you've dated; it's your mindset you need to work on. Just start out with different parameters and screen the men you date a little differently and gradually(nothing happens overnight!), you'll get closer to your ideal. Life is a lesson that continues until you're out of the game...don't be so hard on yourself!

No, there are not as you can see from the airport map here: http://www.aeroportoverona.it/en/in-aero… . There used to be a baggage storage facility in the Porta Nuova train station, but the station is undergoing renovation right now and the baggage deposit, waiting room and other facilities are closed.

I do love him. should i wait for him?
My boyfriend (or ex, i have no clue what we are anymore) and i have been together for about a year and a half. The relationship was great... absolutely AMAZING. We were both happy and very much in love. We spent a lot of time together, talked about anything and everything... we were pretty much best friends. The love was there and the spark was always on fire. It seemed like we would be together forever. He was so sweet to me... always made me feel special and like i was the only thing that mattered to him. Although, it seemed perfect... we did get in a few arguments and disagreements but we always found a way to forgive eachother and continue our relationship. It seemed like the perfect couple.
Then a little after the year hit, we began fighting more and more. We still made up, but as the weeks went on we both noticed a change... we werent as happy as we used to be. So one day we met up, and decided to end it. It was sad, we were both crying and saying we didnt know what else we can do. But he told me that this wasnt the end for us, which of course left me with hope.
It seemed to be prefect timing, becasue a week later I went to Italy for about 2 weeks. Throughout my trip we didnt call or text. It was really hard for me, because i know i was still in love with him but didnt know what to do. When i came back, he called me and said he wanted to meet up... we did and everything seemed great. We were laughing, flirting, and having a good time. He told me he did want to get back together once he realizes that the fighting has stopped.
Weeks went by, and everything seemed to be going ok... not GREAT, just ok. I noticed we argued a little about how "i have changed." he said he wants me to go back to the person i was before. i didnt know what to do, because i didnt see any kind of change in me. I asked my family and friends, and they thought the same thing. i KNOW that he changed though, he wasnt the same fun-loving guy that i first met. He was always so caught up in his "homies" and the party scene, that it kinda made him a different person. He didnt treat me the same way... he stopped calling, texting, and even seeing me.
At this point, i kinda knew it was over... i asked him if he could talk to me and let me know what hes feeling, and the reason behind his behavior. but he kept saying that he needs time to think. Its been about 3 weeks since, and he hasnt called or anything. I'm just left not knowing whats going on... its so confusing. So the other day, i decided to call and ask whats going on. He didnt have any answers. But when i would ask him specific questions like "are we over?" or "do you want to officially break up?" he would say "I NEVER SAID THAT." im so confused, because im just left waiting and i dont know what to do.
Should i wait? or just end the relationship myself?
Answer on I do love him. should i wait for him?
For now, it would be advisable to end it. Doesn't mean you don't love him; what it means is that the two of you are still growing, learning, maturing, experiencing new things. As one continues to grow older and mature, one's interests, feelings, and beliefs will often change. That's why it's best to wait until you've finished your schooling (hopefully you'll go on to college) before settling down with your one and only. It's still possible that after a few years of growth and maturity the two of you could still end up together. But for now, both of you need to get on with life and pursue your individual goals before getting any more serious. My best to you!

If Relgion causes war, why did Europe have wars during the Middle Ages when everyone was Catholic?
From about 500 to 1300, Ireland,Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, were converted to Christianity, and were Catholic. So why did they fight?
Answer on If Relgion causes war, why did Europe have wars during the Middle Ages when everyone was Catholic?
The worst wars and mass murders the world has ever known were those of the 20th century. They were not caused by theist religions, they were caused by nationalism, socialism, Darwinian ideology and atheism.
It is a complete myth that religion is a primary cause of war. The Islamic religion has certainly used war, conquest and force as a primary means of spreading Islam from its very beginnings, but this is an exception among world religions.
The mantra that religion itself causes war is simply hype and propaganda perpetuated by athiest zealots and the secularist media. They should examine the appallingly brutal record of the great atheist experiment of the last century before they have the barefaced cheek to start pointing the finger at any other creed. Apparently their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Where was rococo most popular in the 18th century?
Can anybody tell me where the rococo style became popular beside France, Italy, Spain , Germany and Austria?
Answer on Where was rococo most popular in the 18th century?
Portugal and England
England Rococo was always thought of as the "French taste" and was never widely adopted as an architectural style, although its influence was strongly felt in such areas as silver work, porcelain, and silks, and Thomas Chippendale transformed English furniture design through his adaptation and refinement of the style. William Hogarth helped develop a theoretical foundation for Rococo beauty. Though not intentionally referencing the movement, he argued in his Analysis of Beauty (1753) that the undulating lines and S-curves prominent in Rococo were the basis for grace and beauty in art or nature (unlike the straight line or the circle in Classicism). The development of Rococo in England is considered to have been connected with the revival of interest in Gothic architecture early in the 18th century.
Lisbon’s main Rococo church, the Basilica da Estrela, is the last major Rococo building in the city, showing the influence of Mafra Palace / Basilica/ Convent, but has also undeniable similarities with Pombaline style churches, particularly in the front. The elegant towers and dome can’t hide the Pombaline style vocabulary at the facade, despite the sculpture and relieves. The interior is covered with traditional Baroque coloured marbles.

From Prague to the nearest point in Germany where I could use my Eurailpass? I can't use the card from Prague?
of course, only in Germany, Italy and Austria. I would also need to know how that would work from Vienna - to the nearest station change to Prague. Thanks.
Answer on From Prague to the nearest point in Germany where I could use my Eurailpass? I can't use the card from Prague?
The nearest point from Germany would be Furth im Wald - Ceska Kubice. Trains from there to Prague cost €20.60. To Austria it would be Freistadt near Linz. Direct trains from Prague to Vienna or vice versa are traveling mostly on the territory of the Czech Republik via Brno.

Can someone help me solve this math problem?
ok, im really having a hard time when it comes to word problems. can someone show me how its done. thank you!
1. A pay phone is holding its maximum number of 500 coins consisting of nickels, dimes, and quarters. the number of quarters is twice the number of dimes. if the value of all the coins is $88.00, hom many nickels were in the pay phone?
2. Florian Rousseau, from Italy, won a gold medal in cycling during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Supose he rides a ci-cycle up a mountain trail at 8 miles per hour and down at same trail at 12 mph. Find the round-trip distance traveled if the total travel time was 5 hours.
Answer on Can someone help me solve this math problem?
I'll only do number one for you
Let
x = #of nickels
y = # of dimes
z = # of quarters
x + y + z = 500
z = 2y
.05x + .10y + .25z = 88.00
Solve the Equations
.05x + .10y +.25(2y)
x + y + z = 500
x = 500 - 3y
.05(500-3y) +.10y + .50y = 88.00
25 +.45y = 88.00
.45y = 63
y = 140
Therefore
z =280
x = 500 - 140 - 280
x = 80
so you have
x = 80 nickels
y = 140 dimes
z = 280 quarters
To check
80 nickels = 4$
140 dimes = 14$
280 quarters = 70$
---------------------------
Total is 88$
I did it right YAY!

I'm Italy immediately after WWI?
Are AP World class is at the European meeting where they created the treaty of versailles. I have to answer these two questions for the first discussion through Italy's point of view.
1. Should any European territory of Germany, Austria-Hungary, or Turkey be transferred to any other country or should any new country be created from any of the former central powers?
2. Should any overseas territory of Germany, Austria-Hungary, or Turkey be transferred to any other country?
Answer on I'm Italy immediately after WWI?
Okay, you've given us the assignment. You haven't told us where you're stuck. What research have you done on Italian territorial positions in 1918? What information do you have about Italy's relations with each of the losers? What short-term and long-term goals does Italy have at this time? How much influence does Italy have with the other treaty participants?
Please focus on what sorts of help you need from us; simply posting the homework is not really a request for "help".

Answer on S.S. HELP please...im not smart...?
What makes you think you're not smart? You're smart enough to know that someone on this website might answers these questions for you. If you're that smart, you're also smart enough to find the answers yourself by doing your own research. Try Google and show yourself how smart you really are?
And now that Pendejo has given you an opinion, try verifying it on Google. It wouldn't be smart to rely on those answers without checking for yourself.

Running out of money in Italy?
Please, I need help from someone who knows the Italian system. I'm a dual Italian/American citizen, now living in the USA. Things are going poorly for me and my family right now, and while we still have a little money left, we are thinking of moving to Italy. If we're going to be poor, better there than in the USA.
We intend to go to my ancestral comune. I don't speak Italian, but I do have a certificate to teach English as well as a European Union bus driver license (Class D) issued by the UK. My question is, if things go wrong and we run out of money, what will happen to us in Italy? I'm assuming that since I'm an Italian citizen, I won't be deported. But does Italy have shelters or housing for the homeless?
We'll have enough money to survive for several months, but I just worry what will happen if we can't find work during that time.
Thanks for your help.
Answer on Running out of money in Italy?
In Italy you'll need a job to live, ok, healtcare is better than USA but you need money for house and food.
Associations may help for food and house but don't expect too much.
In that moment USA have more unemployment than Italy, so you may try, but you have the obstacle of different language...
Better if you inform about an employ *before* coming here, leave USA a bit prepared about were to go and about possible jobs - house rent are expensive here.
Wath language do you know more than english?
You may employ in tourism expecially now in summer but english-only is not much.
Better know 3 language to work in tourism: tipically need Italian, English and German (and/or Spanish and France)
In conclusion I think that now is easyest to find a job here than in USA but you need to find it before coming here.
Good luck

Congratulations, that's the end to New Moon. I hope I made your life slightly more miserable. :D

Nice, you are just making teenage girls reconsider reading books. If it were not for the twilight series how many of them would be reading the newest issue of Cosmo instead? I may not have read the books because, well I am 21 and teenage romances just don't do it for me, but I have not criticized the books because I am happy to see you girls and even boys reading books! BOOKS! A reason why I was also happy about the Harry Potter books, I did read those. Well written. Besides how much can you hate twilight if you read New Moon. Isn't that the second book? So that means you read the first and you like it enough to read the second. If you took the time to read two of the books that means you liked it. If you didn't you wouldn't have even gotten past the first few chapters of the first.
After all of that I did find your question/post funny. I did laugh a little, but just a little.

How to summarize this text in about 35 words?
What's to blame? Poor conditions and hard currency for starters. Vacationers skiing in northern Italy can get almost 30 percent more for their money than in either Switzerland or Austria. Economic insecurity is prompting shorter stringier trips. The Germans Europe's largest and wealthiest tourist group have set the tone. "They don't stay as long as they used to, and they keep their wallets closed for extras." says one Austrian hotel owner. Add into the mix cheap flights to sunny spots in America and the Mediterranean. "I'm afraid my guest are playing golf in Florida." Hans Leu, owner of a luxury hotel in Lugano, said last summer.
Thanks! :)

Switzerland and Austrian hotel-keepers are feeling the pinch. Tourists either spend less when there or go to more convenient destinations altogether such as the Mediterranean or the American continent.
