dilemma

Here’s a question:

Let’s say there are two people in your life, like love interests. Who do you choose to try and pursue a relationship with?

A) The person you admire, who inspires and excites you, who knows you exist but is rather distant from you, or

B) The person who’s warm to you, treats you well, and cares about you?

I’d like to hear your thoughts about this. B seems like the obvious, better choice to the rational mind, but the rational mind doesn’t stop A from always popping into your mind over and over again.

If you take too long with B, you’ll end up really good, close friends. Which isn’t a bad thing either.

So I’m thinking, chase A until you get a clear sign of interest or disinterest? Then at least if you pursue B, you do it with peace of mind and heart? And you want to avoid giving any wrong signals to B if you’re going to be fixated on A.

What a world. And I got this sneaky, awkward feeling that both A and B read this.

    i so wonder who’s who.
    seriously.
    anyway.
    i’d suggest you date A, negativitiy to someone might change with the effort put in. an A would be a better motivation for your life, and would be the one pushing you forward in whatever youd be doing.

    B would be good for just being there, and in need of speaking to someone, she’d be there. but in giving opinions, being someone whenyou need solutions, might not be the right person.

    And since you alr know B would be a friend still, trying with A seems rational. cos if you dont do anything, friends might be impossible.

    my 2 cents.

    I know this isn’t your most recent post, but I REALLY have a say in this, cos I have been in this situation more or less before.

    Of course because they are different people and different circumstances compared to my past experience, but even though A is an admiration, a dream, so-to-speak, and that is, most of the time, exactly what it is. Girls especially, they like all this attention even if they are not attracted to a person. It’s how a lot of girls I’ve came across deal with their insecurity. In my case it was the whole excitement and admiration of it all, but excitement can be a dangerous thing.

    B of course, genuinely cares for you, and in reality, most likely will love you unconditionally.

    I’m not making any judgments here because obviously I have no idea about who these people are and the situation you are in, but I’m just talking about my own experience, and hopefully it helps.
