Steve

Q: I just finished 50 Shades of Grey [the best-selling erotic novel by E.L. James] and would love to bring a little of that into my marriage. But my husband and I stopped really having sex years ago. Any advice?

Mia: Aside from investing in some rope? How about booking one of these getaways to Seattle such as the one by Hotel Max that actually has a "Fifty Shades of Seattle" offer? According to the hotel's website, it includes chauffeured towncar service, a helicopter tour and a private four-hour skippered sailing excursion on Puget Sound with a gourmet picnic and a bottle of Bollinger Grande Annee Rose 1999 champagne, a favorite of Christian Grey himself.

Don't forget to pack your handcuffs.

Steve: Why not just the share the book with him and underline the juicy bits?

Q: I have always had trouble meeting women. I believe that I may have a mild case of Asperger's syndrome.

Do you know of anyplace that teaches dating-interaction skills to people with my condition?

Mia: Google "dating" and "Aspergers" for Internet sites and services that cater to people with this syndrome.

Steve: Good advice. There are Asperger's support and social groups across the country. And don't get discouraged. Many adults with Aspergesr's have good relationships.
