There are other reasons why a guy will give you a teddy bear. Check out the list below!

When he gives you a teddy bear, it’s meant to be an outward sign of his feelings for you. This is why it is very important that you never throw a teddy bear in the trash can, as he will perceive this action as a ‘push away’ sign.

This is a powerful thing, so be sure to keep that teddy bear as it holds some very special memories. A guy gives you this if he feels super connected with you in an intimate and personal way.
3) He Wants To Be More than Friends.
When he gives you a teddy bear, it means that he wants to take things further with you and have a romantic relationship with you. Its important to note that if you don’t feel the same way, you should not begin a relationship with him.
You are under no obligation to date someone who gives you something. But, once you have decided to date him, be sure that he is someone you want to be with. Do not let the gift of a teddy bear sway your decision in any way.
You can say something like “Thank you so much! I’ll think of you when I look at it.” Just don’t accept the gift without making sure that you feel the same way about him. This way, there will be no hurt feelings later on down the road.
4) He Thinks You’re Special.
A guy might buy a teddy bear for someone who means a lot to him, even though he doesn’t want to have a relationship with them.

You could be friends with him, and he might just think that this is something nice that he can give to someone who means a lot to him. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s just a gift from the heart!
6) He feels bad that you are sad, and will do whatever it takes to make you feel better.
Have you ever told a guy that you were sad? Maybe your parents are getting divorced, or you are having problems at school. Maybe this is such a hard time for you that he doesn’t know how to make it better.
When he gives you the gift of a teddy bear, it’s his way of telling you that he cares about you, and he wants you to know that he will be there for you. No matter what comes your way in life, he will always have your back!

Teddy bears are gifts of joy that a guy would give to you when something good has happened in your life. It could be for any occasion- even if it doesn’t have anything to do with a specific holiday or someone’s birthday.
