- About two weeks I posted my story of my little dogs, Dragon and Jasper.
- Dragon expects and therefore gets lots of love and attention. Jasper expects
- hostility so gives it first. Everyone thinks Dragon is wonderful, no one
- knows how darling Jasper is.
-
- I have set up circumstances that have allowed me to talk to and meet a
- number of men the last two weeks. I went to each meeting open and warm
- and friendly and *expecting* to be liked. Of the 4 men I met, I am now
- dating 3 of them at least twice a week.
-
- I told them during our initial phone conversations that I am a big woman. I
- also told them I am very attractive. One of the men I am dating is a big
- man the other 2 are normal weight.
-
- All three seem to have accepted me as who I say I am and they seem to like
- who I say I am. As they are all men that I would not normally have met,
- each should have felt free to stop seeing me if they didn't find me
- attractive and appealing. None of the 3 show any sign of wanting to do
- anything but to get to know me better and to get closer to me emotionally.
-
- I realize it is too soon to draw any hard and fast conclusions and the
- initial results sure do speak for the 'Dragon' method of relating to
- people.
-
- I'll post periodic updates of this totally unscientific and very enjoyable
- 'experiment' in relating.
