He probably told Ted some of the places he lingers around.

That could be the reason too.. I wonder if he probably still had clothes or other personal things there.. maybe he already was there with Ted to pick up a few things

That is a great point, Daggi. Blake was living with him at some point, so I can imagine he had a few things of his lying around.

Somehow, I don't think Ted got rid of any of his belongings. He seems the sentimental type who held on to stuff that meant something to him.

I wonder if Ted had any other REAL serious loves before Blake.

It doesn't really seem that way

I think because Ted always (from what we knew) went for the same type...the young and blond guys typically, it was difficult for him to have real relationships.

Fortunately, Blake was both.

Looking at that, he could have ended up with Justin too

Very true about Blake. With him, Ted got the best of both worlds, as well as the trouble that came with the package.

Hmmm...thinking back, he did love Michael...so it was unrequited love. Of course this would go along with Ted choosing men who are unavailable to him.

I'm happy that at least Blake became what Ted needed and deserved in the end.

You're right.. Ted didn't have a good hand in choosing partners.. maybe in a kind of way Brian, was that Brian who said that?, was right when he said he didn't really want one bad enough

Yeah he did say something like that. I think part of Ted's problem was his self-esteem. He never thought he was good enough in any way. He didn't feel he was good looking enough and focussed on that a lot. He had a good heart but didn't feel that was enough for others to accept him. He knew his friends did but was always negative about guys wanting him. Even with Emmett he didn't feel good enough because he lost his job and Emmett was succeeding to he ended up on drugs because he was so unhappy. He even said he didn't want to be himself anymore .

It was only after he felt better about himself about beating drugs and getting the cosmetic surgery done that he felt he was good enough for people. He was good enough all along but just couldn't see it.

He met Blake again at the time they were both ready like they said to each before. They were both finally in the right place in their minds and lives and ready for each other .

Yes, Briam said that he has so low value of himself that he meets only people that mirror him this image he has of himself.

I loved the final scene of Ted when he celebrates his birthday with Emmett and says that even if he would stay alone and never find his soulmate, he would be happy. He is finally selfconfident that he does need another person to confirm his value. And the minute he says it, Blake comes back to his life.

They always say it's when you are not looking for love that it happens and Ted is finally ready to stop looking for love and be happy with himself Love happened
