Lost Puppy

A hopeless, affection-starved social retard who instantly falls in love with any female who acknowledges them.

Ever since I started sitting with Corey at lunch, he's been following me around like a lost puppy.

Lost Puppy

One who becomes best friends with someone who has issues in some way; abusive family, bullied, etc..., and tries to fix the issues. Basically taking in strays.

Girl A: Wasn't Evelyn hanging out with Shylanne all the time last month? And now she's with Poppy all the time?

Girl B: Yeah she seems to be taking in strays.

Girl C: Maybe she has Lost Puppy Syndrome?

Girl B: Didn't Shylanne have a crappy family? And none of her friends liked her?

Girl A: Omg yes. And Poppy has an abusive family member or something. Maybe she hangs with Evelyn just to get away from that??

Lost Puppy Syndrome

One who finds themselves only dating people who have issues that they feel like they could solve.

A person who is only attracted to people that have problems(drug addiction/abusive parents/ect.) and thinks they could protect and nurture them back to happiness.

Jenny has lost puppy syndrome, her last boyfriend was a recovering addict and now shes dating a guy that was raped by his own dad. She thinks she can change him, too bad the last one went back to drugs.

lost puppy syndrome

When one who is in a relationship finds themselves constantly looking around for their significant other at seemingly random times in hopes the other will randomly appear.

Also used when texting, where there is a lull in the conversation and you finds yourself staring at your phone or checking it often to see if a new text has arrived that you somehow missed in the 3 seconds since you last checked.

Can be abbreviated LPS

Bob: What is Steve looking around for?
Charlie: He's hoping that Susan will show up any minute
Bob: Isn't she in Georgia?
Charlie: Yeah but he's got lost puppy syndrome... he can't help but looking around
