Since everyone thinks a bit differently, this could be risky since your mindset could greatly differ from what I have in mind, but I'll try to give my best opinion based on someone else that has the same feelings, which are not wrong in any way. If this guy and you are similar, than what I have to say should involve you as well. This is my analysis, not official textbook information, so I can't prove this. But this advice seemed right before, so I'll tell you too. There are two ways for an attraction to start. There is the quick way: outer attraction, which has a smaller success rate of being something more in reality. This simply involves taking one glance at someone, and being physically drawn to their appearance, which, if you are like the other person who was drawn to non human animation, this method seems very unlikely. In order for this to be the case, you would have had to immediately fall for her after seeing her just once, without actually seeing how she acts in any way, which might give off things like increased heart rate, warm sensation in the facial tissue, increased perspiration, and the like. While that is slightly possible, I prefer to lean toward the option that is much more likely: the slow way it starts: inner attatraction, which has a high success rate of ending up serious in real life. This involves getting to know what someone is like. How they think and act. If they are optimistic or a little more negative. How they treat others and listen to those around them. How they value friends and if they can be trusted. These things take time. Now this kind of attraction doesn't automatically mean you think they're ugly, just not flashy enough to reel you in just from looking. I believe you are drawn to her personality. And after that happens, just looking at her picture will subconsciously remind you of her personality and activate that warm feeling inside you, giving you the impression that it's her body you really like.
If Ducky didn't exist, you would probably have found another character with similar attributes. In Ducky's case, it would be things like innocence, optimism, loyalty, compassion, friendlyness, and the like. But this situation is actually a wonderful thing. It's not that human girls aren't right for you, it's just that you haven't yet found a the girl who matches your fine taste. But this is where the good part comes in: now finding the right girlfriend has just become easier. Since you like a character for what she symbolizes, you can now know what it is you prefer in a relationship, and therefore can look for girl who shares the qualites Ducky has. But be warned. Since Ducky was created through imagination, some of her qualities have been perfected, far more than what you'd usually find in human. So while I doubt you'll find a perfect match, knowing what to look for can lead to the closest thing possible. Consider this a blessing. You are probably curious how I came up for this theory for the other guy I had mentioned. Well, let's just say it's a great deal easier when you try to understand something through personal experience rather than observing some other individual first. So I can emphasize, not just sympathize with this kind of experience. Who was it for me? Hehe. I am very sorry StarfallRaptor. I hope the fact that we must fight for the same girl's affection won't come between us. Only time will tell who she likes more. I love you Cynder!
PS: But maybe we had better wait a bit. We need a plan to get Spyro out of the picture because he'll totally get in our way. Something about spewing infernos from his mouth makes me a bit uneasy. Any ideas?
