Build-a-Bear

A Build-a-Bear is a man or person who lacks the basic ability to keep and maintain a healthy relationship. They often have much potential, but never seek it out. They lack common decency and are often looking for a booty call. They bring a person to love them and don’t have intentions to make it real.
“You still talkin to that Build-a-Bear?” “Girl, he’s a Build-a-Bear. Don’t waste your time or he will waste yours!” “You deserve so much better than a Build-a-Bear!”
