Actually the thought I just had was that I am kind of hooked into this relationship because GP is so confident that some woman would want to be his girlfriend that I am focusing more on the challenge than the prize. It's like I'm playing a video game where I accumulate gold stars at each level or something like that. Let's review some key points of his method:

1)Calls me almost every day and talks to me for a long time.

2)Offers positive reinforcement by saying things like "I think you are a strong woman."

3) Paints strong verbal images of wonderful rewards that will be mine when I reach higher relationship levels with him.

4) Pets me a lot when I am in his physical presence.

5) Makes comments and takes actions that reinforce the fact that I am smaller than him.

So, probably,it is the case that I am dating the Dog Whisperer (sigh).
