I think you should tell him you check him on-line. Especially if he's on a dating site he encouraged you to join. That's a little weird. Checking people on-line is almost second nature now. People who do therapy and don't want patients checking them on line shouldn't be on dating sites and facebook. Neither of my therapists have accessible facebook accounts (believe me, I've checked). I asked my DBT therapist what town she lived in (I'm in Boston) and she didn't want to tell me and I said, all I have to do is check whitepages.com.

It's not really cyber-stalking. This has just become the new normal. I google everyone. Therapists need to take this for granted.

I would tell him about this dating site. Maybe you should cancel your membership so you don't keep checking on him and driving yourself crazy. Transference drives people nuts as it is. Talk to your DBT therapist about this as well. I found that talking to my p-doc about how I felt about my p-doc got kind on solipsistic and it was helpful to have an outside perspective and advice.
