My relationship with GP is really quite complicated because we are highly compatible on some levels but don't even speak the same language on other levels (he says he can't understand me sometimes because I talk too fast like someone from New York).
Been there, done that, totally have THAT particular t-shirt. Keeps things interesting. But also opens ample grounds for misunderstanding. Communication, as clear as possible, is key.
As for the trust-him-to-follow-him-into-alley syndrome I suspect it's something a lot of men would like, deep down. Most of them don't articulate it anymore because they have a history of getting smacked over the head by someone like me when they do. *walks off, whistling*
