I'd go with A. Do you really want to sit around and wait for B all the time? What happens if he comes back in March and then the next time he has to be gone even longer?

what is appealing about a? because it seems your desires lay with him more...
maybe because he's not as available, and you're not ready for anything serious either?
B is a great catch but he won't be back till March. He does alot of travelling for work. A has been my crush and I've been wanting him to ask me out.

Then "A" it is! A bird in the hand...
Oh, wait. B is more stable than A? Would you be ready for serious involvement with B, if that's what he wants? Are you ready for that? Would you be willing to be with a guy who was away for work a lot? If B is texting you twice daily, you probably shouldn't be going out with A, don't you think? Unless you're willing to break it off with B.

Stability, guaranteed employment as an engineer, devoted to you, stays in touch. But isn't around regularly.
vs. ... unstable. But is right there.

Did you make any kind of commitment to B before he left? Was there any kind of understanding between you two? Or was it just 3 dates, and he's hoping to turn it into something more?

I know but B is such a great catch. If A and I didn't work out, I would regret not picking B. I've regretted not giving someone a chance in the past and he was a great catch too. I don't want to make the same mistake.

But A may not want something long term. He may just want to date. I don't know if he's looking to be in a relationship. It took him a while to ask me out. Im not sure if its because we work at the same place.

Maybe A is shy? But you have to face the possibility that if you date A, you might end up texting B a "Dear John" letter. Would you be able to bring yourself to do that? (See the questions I added after you quoted me, above.)

This question is like asking me to choose between living in Wetwang, England or Middelfart, Denmark.

If your leaning towards A, why ask strangers who they would choose? Was this thread mainly to brag about how desirable you is?
