Relationship Confusion
Can someone help me out with this situation. Will try to explain as simple as possible. User A creates an ad => he selling a lawnmower (Ads) User B views the ad belonging to User A and wants to click "Interested" which will make a record in the DB table called "Interests" I need the table to be accessed by both User A and User B for different reason. User A will see who is interested in his offers, and User B will see all the offers he is interested in. But how do you define that relationship? cant be 2 user_id's in the table.. Interests Table: id seller_id => the ad owner user_id buyer_id => the interested user_id But the User to Interests relationship...how can you determine the keys for this?

I understood what did you mean. But we don't have to think in "Role hasMany User" as in ownership thought. The "rule of thumb" is that the model that has a foreignKey to another "belongsTo" that model, i.e., if the "User" needs to know your Role, so the users table must have a role_id, so "User belongsTo Role" and "Role hasMany (or even hasOne if that's the case) User".

RE: Relationship confusion
Yes exactly the same thing...user can only have one role/groupjust saying user can only have one group sounds wrong...whereas user belongs to a group sounds right (as in English language sounds right) and confusing myself further.. Basic ideas is user has 1 one role/group but I need a separate profile for each user based on the role/group they have. What is the best way to set that up?

Relationship confusion
This is fairly simple question but I think saying it in my head and hearing it sounds wrong and confusing me further. "User" signs up and selects the "Group" they are going to belong to as they can only belong to one group...sounds fine when you say it out load "Group" has many "Users".sounds fine when you say it out load User belongsTo Group Group hasMany Users -- OR -- "User" signs up and selects the "Role" they are going to have as they can have only 1 role sounds fine when you say it out load "Role" has many "Users' sounds wrong User hasOne Role Role hasMany Users So my question is how should this go?
