Guest Post: While you may have never heard of Rohypnol, chances are you’ve heard of “roofies” or “the date rape drug”, which are street names for the drug. However, as a woman, it’s important for you to thoroughly understand the drug and what it can do to you. The following is what every woman should know about Rohypnol.

What is Rohypnol?

Rohypnol is a drug that is used to treat insomnia. However, the manufacturing and possession of the drug is prohibited in the United States and those found in possession of the drug are prosecuted the same way they would be for heroine, marijuana or any other illegal drug. There are a number of reasons teenagers and young adults may use the drug. One misconception is that it can increase or lengthen of the buzz that comes from alcohol. This means that the drug may be passed around at parties. Another more dangerous intent of the drug is for men to knock out women so they can rape them. When mixed with alcohol, Rohypnol can cause unconsciousness that lasts up to 24 hours. The drug is easy to recognize by the ROCHE that is imprinted on the tablet. If you are offered this type of drug, or see someone trying to slip it in your drink, you should never take it.

Side Effects

There’s aren’t a lot of side effects associated with Rohypnol, but it can lower the blood pressure, cause memory loss, dizziness, urinary retention, stomach and vision problems and drowsiness.

How to Protect Yourself

As mentioned above, Rohypnol is often used as a recreational drug and may be offered to you. You should not under any means take this drug. However, most of the time, this drug is slipped to females in their drink. It is important to always keep an eye on your drink and never leave it unattended. You also do not want to accept opened beverages from others. Even if someone opens the drink in front of you, it can be easy to slip the pill inside. Last, but not least, there is power in numbers, which means you should make sure your friends also understand the dangers.

Whether it’s called “roofies” or Rohypnol the results are the same. This is a drug that can leave you unconscious or at the very least can lower your inhibitions. In either case, you can end up being raped and may not even be able to identify the person that committed the crime.

Admit it, college girls are way better than your old high school fling.  In fact, there are so many beautiful women, you might just go mad from the tantalizing temptation of it all.  Luckily for you, college is the perfect time to try out new things and try to date new people.  You might be pleasantly surprised how much you like dating girls who are different from your usual set, or you might not.  Either way, give these girls a try now, while you’ve got nothing to lose:

Daddy’s Girl – Some women have a gift for spinning men around their little finger.  They learned it from practicing on their very doting father.  Regardless of the financial standing of their parents, these girls have been spoiled rotten and will continue to be.  The coy smiles of these girls is definitely worth going for now.  Later, you might be disappointed to find her working to wrap you around her finger exactly as she did her father, but you should enjoy playing her games now, when she hasn’t yet had time to hone her manipulative skills to perfection.

Gold Digger – For easy, straightforward relationships there is nothing quite like a gold digger to get you going.  These girls know exactly the value of what is around them and they will insist on only the best.  The best part about dating a gold digger in college is that these women are not yet in a position where they can get at the truly wealthy.  All it will take in college is a loose wallet at a bar and the occasional silk dress.  Sure, you might find that your bills skyrocket, but you can fix that when you break up.  Enjoy the fun while your credit lasts.

One of the Guys – Friends with benefits have never been sweeter than with a guy’s girl.  These are the girls who will watch football with you, who can belch to match your friends, and play poker like nobody’s business.  These girls offer a unique freedom to be yourself.  They are certainly not going to care when you get in a chili-dog eating competition, they will probably join in.  Of course, a good portion of these girls’ are going to grow out of their habits through college, so it is good to take advantage before they too give in to their feminine side.

The Bad Girl – Dating a girl who lives on the edge is going to bring your life to the edge as well.  There is nothing quite like dating a bad-ass with an arsonist history to put a little fire in your life.  These girls’ like playing the game for the fun of it and can be ruthless.  They relish in things that you might not have even heard of and can lead you to some great eye-opening situations.  Of course, a few years down the road, they may be tainted by bitterness and excessive anger, but right now they should have the perfect balance of sugar and spice.

Marriage is hard. There is no doubt about it. And, having different interests can make it more challenging. While you and your spouse do not need to do everything together, it’s important to spend some quality time with one another.

Finding this common ground can be difficult, but also insightful. A good way to start is for you both to consider what mutual interests already exist between you two. Do you both enjoy going to movies, watching football, working outside in the garden? No ideas come to mind. Don’t worry, this is not uncommon.

Now, look at each of your interests individually. You like to go shopping. Your spouse enjoys playing computer games. You would rather go for a walk in the park. Your spouse would much prefer watching football on television. How can you combine your interests? Is it possible that you could play a co-op computer game?  Maybe you could try to learn football and watch it with your spouse. Give it a try. Remember though, simply sitting in the same room as your spouse with both of you playing on Facebook, does not equal quality time.

After you both have gone through your lists and have worked on finding common ground, look towards new interests. Is there something you always wanted to try, but never had the courage? What have you always dreamed of doing, but haven’t gotten around to it? Look at these ideas. It’s very likely that some of your interests may be appealing to your spouse.

Also, by developing your interests together, it can be more fulfilling for both people. No one is more knowledgeable. Neither spouse has more experience. You both are on common ground.

Some suggestions for new ideas are:

Exercise: Choose a sport or an activity that you both like and do it together. Motivate each other; support one another and get healthy along the way.

Cook: Yes, something as simple as cooking, can give you the opportunity to connect with one another. Make a new dish. Have him cut up the vegetables. You prepare the beef. The important thing is to work together.

Pursue a hobby: Choose a hobby that you both might be interested in learning more about. Do you both enjoy taking pictures? Do you like to walk in the park, while she enjoys looking at the flowers? Combine these interests and do them together. Learn about photography, study together. Walk in the park, look at flowers, and take pictures.

Get involved in the arts: Find common music that you both enjoy. Go to a concert. See an opera. Go to a museum together. The arts are a great way to connect.

Go shopping: Do you both enjoy antiques? Do you have a collection that you would like to build on? Do you have a home project that you want to get done? Do it together and get shopping.

The key to finding common ground and developing mutual interests is to never give up. Yes, you might find the symphony boring or football too confusing, but you gave it a try. Just keep looking for other ideas. In the long run, you will be happy that you did and maybe even a little surprised.

While her birthday may be over (and she was less than thrilled with the cliché flowers and candy combo), there’s always next year! So, in an effort to wow the crap out of her on her next birthday, you may want to start consulting this guide NOW. Because honestly guys, we’re all just a little sick of the overpriced- and certainly overdone- dozen roses and/or box of chocolates accompanied by a ‘romantic’ dinner. While you may be okay with habitual actions (that same porno you’ve been watching for years), girls aren’t. Sometimes we require a little more substance, a little more creativity, and a little more authenticity.

Don’t misunderstand us: the flowers, chocolate, and dinner combo is a nice gesture, certainly vintage and traditional, but it’s not unique. So you took ten minutes out of your day to scoop up a dozen roses…my 90-year-old grandma is capable of doing that. Spice it up! We know you have a brain (you managed to score a hottie after all), so get a move on it boys. Read on to discover some unique and thoughtful gifts for your lady: heart-shaped box of chocolates not included.

1.    Sushi Kit: Instead of spending oodles of moolah to go out for sushi on her birthday, get her a kit and make your own! It’s way more fun and definitely memorable, plus you’ll have the kit for whenever the sushi-making mood should strike. Kits are available at places like Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond, and food marts like Wegmans and Whole Foods. Throw in a bottle of wine and you’ve got yourself a fun and original (maybe even romantic) dinner, you charmer you.

2.    Fun iPhone Case: If she has an iPhone, of course. It’s a cool way for her to show off her personal style. Plus, it’s a cheaper gift option for you; the average case costs around $20-$30. There are literally thousands of cases available on sites like Amazon.com and Etsy.com. Hell, just type ‘iPhone case’ into Google and your search will provide you with countless selections. Choose from pink polka dots, tribal patterns, rhinestones, floral patterns, a picture of her favorite musical group, animal prints, cases that look like the front of a camera- the options are endless.

3.    iTunes Card: Who doesn’t love music? iTunes cards are available in virtually any amount possible, so she can shop around and pick out multiple albums to download depending on how much you’ve put on the card. If this option seems a little impersonal to you, order a CD she’s been eyeing up.

4.    Shoes. Or a gift card for shoes if you’re not entirely certain on what she likes. Enough said.

5.    Diamonds: Don’t eliminate this option just yet. We’re not saying to get a rock with a diamond worth of $1 million or anything ridiculous. There are hundreds of jewelry stores that offer smaller diamonds to fit your budget. You can get a pair of diamond accent studs for under $100 at places like Zales, Kay Jewelers, and Jared. The same goes for a smaller carat diamond ring.

6.    Customize It: One of the best ways to show you care about her is to customize an item to perfectly reflect her tastes. This can include pillows, art, jewelry, clothing, picture frames, posters, flasks (for the party girl); the list goes on and on. To get an idea of what to make for her, start browsing sites like Etsy.com. The site offers only homemade goods so you can peruse through and get your creative juices flowing. Then, depending on what you thought of, find a place that offers what customized option you’re looking for.

Did your man just broke up with you, and now you want him back? When romantic relationships end, it’s difficult for both, specifically if you have been extremely close. If you’re missing your guy, and now you need him back, it’s possible. It’s an easy solution in theory, but might not be easy to apply. But, nevertheless, it will do the job. So, learn how to get him back again… Here are tips you should consider, if you wish to have him back again!

Don’t Speak To Your Ex lover

You have to provide your boyfriend or girlfriend the space they have to allow them to consider issues and allow them to recognize they feel the loss of you. They’ll get in touch with you. It might not be the overnight, but when you believe your ex lover still likes you, they’ll get started with missing you, and definitely will get in touch with you. Make time to yourself, before you get ex back. Enhance yourself. Spend more time with your friends and relations.

Don’t Act Desperate or Frustrated

All of us love our lovers to have self-assurance, and when you decide to go behaving desperately, it’ll present your ex lover that you don’t have faith in yourself. As he gets in touch with you again, you simply have one chance to thrill your ex once again and emphasize him of the items he is missing out on. Simply by behaving poorly, that chance goes straight out of the question.

Don’t Fight About Breakup. Allow the history be the history

Sure, it likely needs to be raised someday and discussed, but don’t allow it to be a disagreement, your ex lover will in all probability get emotions brought back, and back off once again.

It’s human nature, to pursue whatever we set our minds to.  What we should do, particularly if we’ve recently been dumped, even when it’s been a short amount of time, is to deal with our own character and response to the breakup. Rather than pining for the ex; waiting for your telephone to ring; focus on yourself. Make personal modifications that would be worthwhile, particularly with regards to future, romantic relationships. Spend more time with your friends and family. Invest time in creating the best “you” you can be. As corny and cliche as it seems, it is necessary. It could be the key element in building successful romantic relationships later. Besides, it will help make time pass quicker if you’re doing something positive rather than wallowing in a depressed state!

Lesli Levanger is a relationship expert, who’s been doing a research with many individuals on how to get ex back.

For much of my adult life; I’ve been a love her, hate her fan of Dr. Laura. My love for her began the first time I read Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives. I read this book following my divorce from my kids dad. I learned a few things, but relapsed into the unhealthier mode of relationships that women find themselves in these days.

Later, I read Ten Stupid Things Couples Do to Mess Up Their Relationships in hopes of being the best I could be in a relationship while motivating my significant other to be their best.

Each book delivered valuable lessons that can be introduced into real life. Whether you agree with Dr. Laura or only on some things, these books are worth reading.

The thing I disagree with Dr. Laura on is her advice to single mothers. She’s made it clear she doesn’t think single mother’s should date until their kids are at least 18-years-old.

I couldn’t disagree more.

If a mother makes the conscious decision not to date while raising her kids, I think she’s missing the boat on teaching her kids how to date, how to choose the right partner, and what loving relationships are like.

As a child of divorce, and as a mother who has been single, I see the value in the lessons these life situations present. Kids are a product of their environments. Kids will grow and act on the learned behaviors they were exposed to growing up.

People can teach better lessons with their lives than with their lips. Don’t miss the opportunity to teach and to lead by example.

• Expose your children to happy, healthy, loving relationships
• Expose your kids to being a person who commands respect
• Expose your kids to the joys of romance
• Expose your kids to taking a stand against being mistreated

There are so many examples I could add, but I think you get my point.

To suggest single parent’s refrain from dating or pursuing new relationships because the children didn’t ask to be children of divorce is unrealistic.

Should a single parent refrain from dating until their kids are grown? Or what lessons do you think kids could learn from their parents?

Rejection can be a painful event for many people. While some rejections may be irrational, the person ending the relationship usually has a reason that they don’t to be with someone anymore. It’s essential to learn from every relationship — this is the only way it’s possible to grow as a person.

The end of a relationship is a time for inner reflection. It’s important to take a survey of one’s life and see what steps need to be taken. Some people may feel that they are the victim during a rejection. It’s important to realize that a relationship is based off the actions of two people. While it’s impossible to change the actions and behaviors of the other person, there are often significant changes that one can make in their own life.

It’s important to provide time for oneself when a relationship ends. Since being single gives one a sense of freedom, it’s often possible to pursue activities and hobbies that weren’t possible when one was in a relationship. This could include an extreme sport like skydiving, to watching a TV show that few other people enjoy. It’s important to give oneself time to recover emotionally after any bad relationship.

It’s also a good idea to take a personal inventory after any type of rejection. A personal inventory can be extremely challenging for many people. Most people live in a sense of denial their entire lives. This inventory can include a self-assessment of one’s personality, finances, hobbies, and attractiveness. These are all areas it’s important to work on in order to make the next relationship work.

There is no such thing as ugly. Many people who think they are ugly simply have poor self esteem. While no one is born ugly, it’s possible to become ugly through a poor lifestyle. Obesity, smoking, alcoholism, and poor health are all self-induced diseases. They can turn a beautiful face into an ugly mug in only a few years. It’s important to stay in shape, eat healthy, and avoid negativity.

It’s also important to look at one’s personality to see if it was the reason for rejection. Many people aren’t attracted to people they consider needy, controlling, angry, or hateful. These are all personality traits it’s possible to improve. A therapist or mental health professional may be able to help one make the changes one needs in their lives.

The end of a relationship or a rejection can be a valuable time for learning about oneself, one’s community, and the lives of those in it.
