People often confuse lovers with teddy bears. We have a powerful longing to have a body next to us when we sleep — especially when we desire cuddling. The problem is that although we love to have a “teddy bear” next to us, we do not enjoy being someone else’s plaything. In a new relationship, all too many overlook the individuality of the person they are courting: i.e., they’re looking for a teddy bear. They are suffering from physical need and are too hasty to bother with friendship; and, at least in this recipe for romance, friendship is the basis of the soup. A mouthful of spice will inevitably burn.
