Yeah well the first thing would...........................HUH?

I think you are speaking of relationship models. You've heard many women say they are searching for thier "White Knight" or "Knight in Shining armour" The perfect guy who takes care of your troubles and sweeps you off your feet. The real white knight is a little different but in his mindset he is that guy. I'm using simple names to explain these say George and Martha. Specifically, the "White Knight" is a title commonly used for an accidental relationship: In this relationship one party trades what they need for what the other party wants; i.e. a commitment. Martha is in serious trouble. She cannot pay any of her utility bills and is about to lose power. Martha tells her co-worker and good friend George all about her financial difficulties. George really likes Martha, (and he sees this as an opportunity to show her he could be more than just a friend), so George offers to pay her bill for her; and insists she can pay him back when she gets on her feet. Later that afternoon when they are leaving work George asks Martha out to dinner. Martha says yes. “It’s a date!” George says. A date wasn’t what Martha was thinking, but no harm in that, right? Martha goes on said date, drinks more that her share of the wine George purchases and when George kisses her goodnight that evening she kisses him back. The next night George offers dinner again, and Martha accepts again. George is so nice and so generous; and okay, it’s true that she isn’t attracted to him, but that can grow, right? A month goes by, and now George is introducing Martha as his girlfriend, she is about to meet the parents and he is talking about taking it to the next “level”. Martha can no longer deny it; she has slipped into the girlfriend role. Accidental relationship type number 1: savior becomes suitor. Escaping would mean breaking her good friend and rescuers heart; (and she really can’t pay him back right now anyway). Easier to let this relationship happen, perhaps he will love enough for the both of them. It could happen right? This makes George the rescuer and Martha the victim. The tyrant is the one who would lord the bill over Martha during this relationship. Other relationship models for the white knight might include: ~~~ George saving Martha from a horrible relationship by whisking her away but entrapping her at the same time. ~~~ George soothing Martha who has just had something traumatic happen. He takes her in a shows her sympathy with the expectation she will fall in love with him for it. ~~~ George saves Martha from her horrible family who treats her like Cinderella (especially dangerous as this happens frequently and our Martha is typically 13-18 and the George saving her is typically a predator or an older gentleman meaning well that gets caught as a predator) ~~~ A tyrannical relationship where George sweeps Martha away and does everything fo her while taking away her freedoms and isolating her from the world. He thinks someone will take her and is very jealous and treats her like a queen, unless of course she happens to seem ungreatful... then he becomes violent. The line become increasingly unstable... and ever more dangerous. I hope this helps and I am sure that there are more examples out there!
