A lot of ladies wonder "Just how will I know I really love him? That it's the real thing?" Well, I am sure there are many. many ways of doing that. but I think one of the best is the TEDDY BEAR LOVE TEST. I know - you are probably thinking "OK - now this sounds just plain weird", but hang with me and you will understand.
Ladies - look around your place and see the teddy bears you have and where they are. Actually, any stuffed animal toy will qualify for this, it doesn't have to be a teddy bear. How you feel and think about the man that gave them to you is indicated by where they are. Now of course, the ones given to you by family members do not count in this.
First of all - you can forget any that you have displayed in your living room or any other room your friends see other than your bedroom. Those are, consciously or unconsciously, your "bragging" toys. The ones you put out to tell your lady friends "See, I am desirable and wanted. Look at what I can make them do just by being me." Of course, the bigger the toy, the bigger the brag. Makes you look at that 9 foot gorilla that your gal pal has in the corner of the dining room a little differently, doesn't it?
Now - on to the bedroom. This is the area that REALLY tells you how you're feeling about the guy. What you just might want the relationship to develop into.
If the animal is in the closet - Well now, this is a man you can stand seeing once in a while but you don't want him IN your life. You don't mind it if you see him every day, maybe even could work with the guy, as long as he was on another floor of the building. You wouldn't even want to see him with one of your friends because you would NEVER do that to them. On the other hand you wouldn't want to see him with one of your enemies because you wouldn't do that to HIM. As long as he keeps a decent distance from you, he will remain in the closet and not make it to the trash. Although he might not make it thru your next move with you.
There is one addition to the toy in the closet - this is if it is in a box or somewhere you will never see it when you get your clothes. This guy you wouldn't mind if he was missing completely but you know that they would put you in jail if you disposed of him.
