If you had to choose between two guys, would you choose the guy that you had stronger feelings for or the guy that has stronger feelings for you? Follow your heart, or follow your head?

Scenario, you have to choose between two guys, you are friends with both of them, but haven't dated either one to the point at which it is serious.

Bachelor #1 - He has already said he L-word. He's unashamed to tell you that he loves you and will do anything to be with you. You think you might eventually be able to love him back. He's dated other people, had one serious relationship in the past, so he says he knows what he's talking about.

Bachelor #2 - You are definitely more attracted to him. More chemistry, more passion. He has never had a serious relationship, it seems that he hasn't even had a date since his senior prom in high school. He's been concentrating on school and his career instead of his love life. He's ready to put all that aside since he met you.

Very unrealistic option.

Not sure who you should "choose" but here are a few of the red flags that I see....

Bachelor #1: You two haven't even really dated but he is already professing his love for you...watch out for this guy. I am sensing a guy who will possibily be a bit needy and possessive in a relationship.

Bachelor #2: The fact that he hasn't dated in a long time may be an indication that there maybe a few social inadequancy/awkwardness issues and he sees you as an easy out (ie not a challenge). I would also be weary of a guy who says that he will drop everything simply to be with me.

Bottom line: These two young men are not your only options. Don't be in a rush to be in a relationship with either of them "just because".

Neither bachelors sound like well-adjusted, healthy people. Most normal women want to date normal men.

Putting your bad examples aside, I would choose to date a man who was more into me than I was into him (initially) provided that they both had equally attractive qualities. I like to get to know a person slowly over a period of time and dating someone who is really into me is more enjoyable and fun than dating a guy who is isn't.

Well, honestly, my pick would be the one who has the cleaner house of the 2, has a job, likes to go out sometimes (doesn't always stick at home a lot), and has deep feelings for me. That's my choice...LOL! I've always been picky like that, really.

Bachelor #2. There is chemistry, he is passoniate and has focus.

I would be suspicious of anyone that is spewing the L-word and making empty promises when we are basically just friends.

Go for #2, he sounds smart and focused. The other dude sounds quite possessive and may not actually know what love really is if he spits it out so often.

How about using both your heart and your head at the same time? In a working relationship, it's NOT one or the other. If you have all the heart but none of the sensible things couples need to be compatible, it isn't going to work. If you have everything a "good guy" needs, but there's no chemistry, that's a no-go too.

I wouldn't throw it all away for either of these guys. Who cares how Bachelor #1 feels about you if the best you can muster is, "You think you might eventually be able to love him back." Good grief. He deserves better. Guy #2 is only a good option if he really does want a relationship. If you like him more than he likes you (or is willing to commit), it won't work either.
