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.

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Game-changing SEO trends that will dominate 2018.

Changing nature of the rules of the game. As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again. Increasingly, SERP features (local packs, Knowledge panels, featured snippets and so on) are stealing searchers’ attention and clicks from organic listings. And it’s only fair if you consider the evolution the Google SERP has been through. It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it? With the evolution of SERP features, it’s critical that you (a) track your rankings within...
