Are you dating a common criminal? Here's how to tell.
Online dating is generally safe, and most people you find will be normal, good-natured men and women who are simply looking for love. You also may bump into a small number of strange people (e.g. men who show up on a date with their wedding rings on, or the supposed-to-be Brad Pitt look-a-like who shows up looking a little bit aged and 100lbs heavier than his photo suggested) and they will probably be harmless. But, criminals are around and the Internet is open to them to use and abuse, too. And unfortunately, we can’t do background checks on the people we agree to go on a date with. Nothing is ever 100% fool proof but these seven tips should definitely help you spot a criminal more easily when dating.

Question: What is embarrassing, annoying and eye opening at the same time?
Answer: A uniformed police officer standing at your door with handcuffs.
If you've read or heard of the new pop novel 50 Shades of Grey, you may be thinking I am right on board. The knock on my back door and as I peeked out the little viewing window and saw a police officer in full uniform standing on my stoop with his pad, I was nervous. He asked, “Are you Rosie Battista?”, to which I affirmed.
Don't let jealousy, revenge, shame, and blame rule you.
What is compassionate? It is the willingness to experience your feelings without blaming yourself or others. The biggest impediment to creating compassion is the feeling of shame. Shame doesn’t get a lot of press because it’s difficult to talk about it. People usually confuse guilt with shame. Guilt is a feeling that you have done something wrong whereas shame says I am bad. When we feel shame we want to hide and we certainly do not want to talk about it. This is where compassion comes in to help with these difficult feelings.
If you have found yourself in the rut of settling for sex rather than really making love, here are some tips and tricks to move you back in the right direction.
Think about it. When we plan for lovemaking, we tend to be more romantic, more thoughtful, and more generous. If you will schedule time and make your passion as important as your email, your TV shows, and your food… you will both reap the benefits of the effort.
In the new movie 'Hysteria,' regular orgasms are what the doctor ordered.
Forget apples. An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away. People who have regular, satisfying sex live longer, stay in shape, and are generally happier. But during the Victorian era, from 1897 to 1901, sex was strictly viewed as a procreational activity between a woman and her husband. Or, an act between a man and whoever he wanted to have sex with.
