Which man would you choose?

If you were single and open to a relationship, and two men asked you out, which would you choose? They are as physically attractive as each other, and both are interested in a relationship with you.

Option 1 - Kind, Thoughtful, gentle, clever, funny, loving, quiet, shy, bit boring, adores you.
Option 2 - Cheeky, funny, sociable, exciting, rich, popular, obviously really fancies you

If I had to choose, 2 because he has seemingly no negatives and 1 does (boring).

Realistically tho, neither, because if I actually liked either, I wouldn’t be dithering.

user1497997754 · 05/06/2019 14:30

I would date both of them and then decide when you get yo know them better x

wishywashy6 · 05/06/2019 14:33

Both
Dating is about getting to know people, you're not committing to either of them but it will give you chance to get to know them both better before deciding what you want to do next

Candelabra75 · 05/06/2019 14:38

You need to date both until you find out what their real personalities are!

NameChangeNugget · 05/06/2019 14:43

Option 2.

Option 1 sounds like a bit of a dullard.

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 05/06/2019 14:46

Option 2 will break your heart but the sex will be amazing. Option 1 will never leave or let you down but you’ll be bored. So, neither. Find you a man who combines both good bits of the two.

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 05/06/2019 14:46

Yourself not you

UnicornDust9 · 05/06/2019 14:49

Date and sleep with both and go from there

NoTheresa · 05/06/2019 14:55

2

NK1cf53daaX127805d4fd5 · 05/06/2019 15:02

Date both

Windmillwhirl · 05/06/2019 15:03

I'm with UnicornDust9

They both sound fine, but who is better in the sack would be the deal-breaker Wink

RantyAnty · 05/06/2019 15:20

Both of them. See if they'd go for a thruple Grin

Thatsalovelycuppatea · 05/06/2019 15:44

I've lived with a boring man for 20 years. He is as your first one is described, but we have no connection now he just isn't interested in anything other than going to work.
Go with two even if it doesn't work out and if it does that will be a bonus.

CryptoFascist · 05/06/2019 15:50

Logically, most relationships don't work out. Option 1 you'd end up leaving out of boredom. Option 2 would end in some dramatic way. Which one would you enjoy more as a temporary relationship?

AryaStarkWolf · 05/06/2019 16:19

Whichever one there's more chemistry with

Notthetoothfairy · 05/06/2019 17:26

2, because it’s a bad sign that you find 1 boring.

Pippioddstocking · 05/06/2019 17:30

Oh God , I did man number 1 for nearly 20 years , he turned me boring in the end .
Number 2 is my recommendation

category12 · 05/06/2019 17:30

Go out with both a couple of times, see what you feel like after that.

MountainPeakGeek · 05/06/2019 17:35

Is man #2 also kind/thoughtful, or would you say he comes across as self centered?

DpWm · 05/06/2019 17:39

2

Johngon · 05/06/2019 17:45

Neither sound very appealing. Pass. Find someone who isnt boring or an egomaniac.

MaiaRindell · 05/06/2019 17:47

@mountainpeakgeek #2 doesn't strike me as kind or thoughtful. He is the life and soul of the party and really flirty. The kind of person who'd take you to a gig and would know the band and you'd hang out backstage.
#1 isn't boring really, just compared to #2. He is happy to stay at home with a glass of wine. He is lovely to chat to and brings out the best in me. You could confide in him, trust him completely and be supported by him.

1 sounds like the better choice for a relationship, but 2 if you're just looking for fun.

BlueMerchant · 05/06/2019 17:55

1 if you are looking to settle down in the near future.
2 if you aren't.

Johngon · 05/06/2019 17:56

If you find him boring (relative or not) then he is boring. He doesnt sound boring to me from the description but I might find #2 boring/tedious. Different strokes for different folks. Ultimately dont bother with someone who you dont find interesting.
