I've been wondering for some time now, how are 想 and 要 different? As in, in which contexts should you use one as opposed to another?

As far as I know, 想 means "to think," like "我想你太胖了" (though that's kinda rude ), but it also means "to want," like "我想吃中饭。"

This is what confuses me: 要 also means "to want," doesn't it? Maybe it means "to want to," as in a future desire, but I'm not sure.
