WHAT IS GUMBALL LOVE?
Gumball Love is a transactional relationship. One person puts in a quarter, the other person gives a Gumball.
The Quarter
is the action or prompt which provokes the other person to provide the flavor of response they crave the “Gumball.”
The Gumball
itself is the sugar high of attention. It’s the validation that can soothe, distract, stimulate, create pleasure or reduce pain.
NICE TO MEET YOU

Founder and Creator of Gumball Love. When he puts in a quarter, don’t give him the Gumball. The Gumball completes the transaction and gives him the sugar high of attention he craves. This revolutionary concept quickly reveals the character of Mr. Wrong and allows you to filter him out of your life fast to and expedite your journey to finding THE ONE.
