10 SIGNS YOU MAY BE DATING A SOCIOPATH
A posting on LoveFraud.com

"One of the more frequently observed of the traits is a glib and superficial charm that allows the true
sociopath to seduce other people, figuratively or literally -- a kind of glow or charisma that, initially,
can make the sociopath seem more charming or more interesting than most of the normal people
around him.

"These often charming -- but always deadly -- individuals have a clinical name:   psychopaths.  Their
hallmark is a stunning lack of conscience; their game is self-gratification at the other person's expense.
Dr. Robert Hare, Author of WITHOUT CONSCIENCE (Pocket Books)
