How to Pace Yourself While Dating.

"Let's take it slow" is easier said than
done when you meet someone you're
immediately infatuated with, but taking
the time to really get to know someone is
crucial for building the foundation of a
[hopefully] long-term relationship.
Here are tips for how to pace yourself
while dating:
1. Speak up.
If you want to go slow, say so — and say
it early. If you establish boundaries and
a pace you're comfortable with early on,
you won't be alarming your date with an
awkward "We need to slow down"
conversation later. Reassure your
partner that the reason you want to take
your time is because you're really into
him/her and don't want to mess up the
relationship by jumping in too fast.
2. Don't confuse honesty with
verbal diarrhea.
You don't have to air all of that
proverbial "dirty laundry" on the first
date just because he asks you a question
about your personal life. Be honest and
open, but refrain from unloading every
little detail about your exes, financial
situation, or health issues right away.
There will be a time and place to share
everything eventually; the first few dates
usually don't qualify as appropriate.
3. Use restraint.
Just because you both made fun of
Celine Dion on your first date doesn't
mean you have to text her every single
time you hear "My Heart Will Go On" in
the grocery store. Don't act on every
impulse to make contact. Instead, share
some of those little moments and stories
with your date the next time you spend
time together.
4. Avoid talking about your
collective future.
Don't make future plans together too
soon. Sure, you both love French food,
but this doesn't mean that you should be
making hypothetical plans to visit Paris
together in the fall when you've only
been dating for two weeks. Nor should
you be talking about fun New Year's
plans if your first date is in July. And
never start planning a wedding until
you're both already in it for the long
haul.
5. Don't say "I love you" yet.
You might believe it, but that doesn't
mean you should say it — yet. You might
be swept up in a new romance, or just
riding high after a passionate kiss. Even
if this isn't the case, your partner's
feelings might not be mutual. Give the
relationship time to develop until you're
both feeling secure and confident about
its direction. If you know you'd be upset
if your partner couldn't say "I love you,
too" after you made a confession of love,
hold off until you're sure he/she is head
over heels for you.
6. Keep living your life.
It's easy to make a new relationship the
center of your world. Be careful to honor
previous commitments to family,
friends, work and hobbies. Don't put
your life on hold for a new object of affection. Let your date know about your
involvements and slowly introduce him/
her to your world. Sure, with time you'll
give your partner a greater portion of
your schedule, but in the early stages,
make sure you continue to nurture your
friendships and keep the commitments
you've already made.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
