A Boy and His Teddybear
There is something that girls really have to understand about a boy in love. I don't think they really understand how a boy is when he is really in love, and what they are like when they are out of it. So, I'm going to have to explain it to you.
I wrote a blog once saying that a boy or a man in love is a lot like a boy with a teddybear. The parents give him a little teddybear to play with and keep him company while they are away, and doing their thing. Overtime, he grows accustomed to this teddybear and starts to love it. Take it everywhere he goes, take it into bed, and all that good stuff.
He is basically very attached to this teddybear. He promises the teddybear that as long as she or he is his best friend, he will never let him go. The army would have to come and drag the teddybear away from him. So sweet, isn't it? Never is the child prepared for the day when the security teddybear actually turns up missing, or the love starts to wane.
When the teddybear, his best friend, turns up missing, he either starts to cry, or starts to feel a little void in his heart. Whatever he does, it means he misses his dear little teddybear. You can tell that he loves the thing by the way that he either continuously asks for this bear or tries to hold on to what memory he has with it. It's at this time he has a lot of options on what he needs to do. He can either:
1)Buy a new teddybear
2)Wait for this teddybear to come back
or
3)He can grow up and move on without it. It's all depending on his patience.So, imagine the scenario where the teddybear actually comes back. In time, he starts to either use it a little bit or never uses it at all. Either way, his love has waned for the teddybear. By this time, the boy has moved on and forgotten a bit about the teddybear, offering to donate the friend to someone else who needs him or put him on the shelf.
He may be secure, but imagine how sad the teddybear must feel to know that the boy has moved on and doesn't need him anymore?
That is the illustration of love blooming with a boy (and a girl) and love on its way to fizzling out.
Thoughts?

lol uh. wut.
Huh? Lol
@quasarglow@xanga - @UnconventionalButterfly@xanga - Let's put it this way. You are your man's teddybear. A boy with his teddybear is one of the sweetest and better-explaining metaphors for a man in and out of a relationship.
creative.
Simply, genius.
my baby brother has a panda bear that he brings with him EVERYWHERE. he hates leaving him at home. hahah. i love this.
my other younger brother held onto his teddy as a child too!
Nice metaphor there =D
if I used a similar metaphor in the female version, I'd probably sound like a player
because I had lots of stuffed animals and it started with one, which was my favorite, but I saw a cuter one, so I bought that, and neglected the original one, then saw a cuter one, and tossed the other two on the wayside...and I continue to take each preceding one for granted. I don't get rid of the old ones, they're still there. I keep all of them because I can't choose just one. some girls are greedy
lol I see what you're saying with your metaphor though.
@ChuuCheee@xanga - LOLOL you read this too??
Cute/
I love this! good job :)
I have to say, this is one of my more recent favorite posts.
um...o...k..
i like the metaphor here
Good one.
However, in my history, I take the teddy bear back, then lose the teddy bear again and sometimes repeat up to three times.
However, in the in between I do get a lot better at playing the guitar. (Only one way to learn to play the blues.)
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - I am so like this also.
@FoliageDecay@xanga - Ahh, so true. So true.
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - hahaha... funny story. i used to be the same with my stuffed animals. i'd have multiple ones... i'd call it an open relationship!
this website is very good, you can go and see it

Awesome analogy! So adorable.
@mynameisblueskye@xanga - so what happens when the guy 'loses' his teddy bear? will he ever get it back? will the relationship be the same as before?
@mynameisblueskye@xanga - I like that analogy :3
i guess i'm fiercely loyal. my favorite stuffed animal back in the day became a comic strip i made up when i was 8, now he's my logo and official character, hopefully he'll be an animated series if i become successful. he's still around, though SUPER tattered - he came w me to college. i stopped sleeping w him when i was younger, but his symbol and significance remain!! lol
wait hmm... does that mean i will fade into one of those loyal but dull sexless marriages? HOW FAR CAN THIS METAPHOR GO.....
@acuriousfact@xanga - Usually, when you lose something, you lose it. And when you find it, you can't muster the same love as before, but the point is you still have the love, right? Chances are he will have moved on and/or forgotten about it in time. But whether the love will be the same depends on how long he has lost it and how far and wide he went to find it.
I guess... but what about marriage? I don't think this analogy applies then...
