I think u should stick with the second guy. I mean it sounds like u definitly have a thing goin w/ him and meybe u should be friends with the other guy. It sounds like it was a fling but that u cud still be good friends! Good luck! And if it dusnt work out w/ the first guy just ask out the other one!

It's not the length you should be apologising for, it's the lack of punctuation. ;) No, really, I'm teasing ya, I don't need any apologies.
<p>
It sounds like you want something solid to build on, and you're not sure if the first boy is worth the effort of persuing, even though he is your "first choice": you don't feel that his companionship is guaranteed, whereas the other boy is pretty much a sure-shot.
<p>
What you're wrestling between is not so much the boys, itself -- it's your own standards of preference vs. ease. Would you rather have the best or the easiest? If you find that one boy manages to hold both of these, you have no disparity. So if that were the case, I doubt you'd be seeking advice! ;)
<p>
But also -- and this is a big secret, like unlisted tracks on some CD's, and secret paths in video games -- you don't actually have to choose. There's a third option that many people don't consider.
<p>
In the 1950's, people used to date around for a while before "going steady," exchanging school pins or something, and being exclusive. These days, we have a term for respectful, honest non-monogamy: when you're able to maintain more than one romantic relationship at a time, AND everyone involved knows, AND everyone involved is fine with it, we like to call the relationship style "polyamory."
<p>
Before you take such a step, you should look up what poly is all about, and decide for yourself if it's right for you. To start, I'll give you links to a few of my own favourite resources to read through. I in no way want to convert or pressure you -- <b>poly isn't for everyone</b>, the same way certain religions, foods, and favourite colours aren't for everyone.
<p>
But I like it when people know all their options!

Good luck, babes. I know you'll settle with whatever is right for you. :)
