What would you choose?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes ladies and gentlebubbles, it's decision time.

Pretend you are out of a relationship (obviously if you are out of a relationship, you don't have to, because being out out of a relationship would mean, oh just forget it) and you have a choice to make.

- cue manic wurlitzer music and flashing lights -

You can have -
A) Six months of the 'greatest' relationship, for you, ever. Take whatever you might dream of, multiply the quality of it by the amount of tentacles on an infinitypus, and yeah it's that good. However, at the end of that, there's nothing. It's gone, you'll never see, hear or talk to them again. It was almost like a dream.
B) A really good friend, of the opposite gender (or the same if you really insist) for the rest of your life. Nothing romantic about it.
C) Cheese and crackers. Right now. Because you don't care about A or B. *EDIT* and port, and champagne, and breadsticks, and truffles, and haggis on soup, and any other food or drink product that you could ever choose to have, just to be piggin' annoying...

Which would you choose? And whyyyyy?

Most definitely A. You would (hopefully) keep the memories forever.

B or C. Because A is completely unrealistic.

There's always one, isn't there...*sigh*

Got B.

Can I have C please?

Wait, what kind of crackers?

This question is hitting way too close to home for me...

Goddamnit I could go C really, really badly because cheese is so damned good especially with crackers, but I can't eat cheese and crackers without making myself sick for weeks due to having celiac disease.

I married B...well, there's a bit of romance, and there's lots of kinky sex in addition.

But I've just got out of an affair that's not as strong or as long as A, yet I'm still on the fence about going back to B.

fml

A-was a reality for me.

Definately B.

But A would be really, really, really good!

And C - well the cheese is just beyond compare.

Any reason for your choice?

The longetivity of a lifetime & value of a good friend beats a relationship that only lasts 6 months hands down.

You need to think in the long run.

Also having a good female friend a lot of the time helps you improve yourself when it comes to relationships.

Cheers.

Counterpoint to that - to you, and all readers who are interested.

You are 80 years old. You've had a good life...you've had that good friend that B) implies, and a long-term partner as well...but you think to yourself 'oh, if only, I had that 'special' connection, that wow factor that really made my life sparkle. I look back on good times, but not trembling times, not bone-shaking-excitement times' and what other things one could think of if they imagined then chose A).

Please note I am not pushing a line here. Apart from the cheese. It's good stuff! And the crackers are fanfeckintastic.

C

pretty much B.

I would like a romantic relationship but a good friend is like 90% of the way there for me anyway. I don't need much affection just a little more than none at all would be nice.

I would not pick A because after the relationship ended, I would be depressed most of my life because any other girls I dated just coudn't live up to that one 6 month relationship with the girl I had.


But if I picked B, and I have never had a gf, I would want to be more than just friend with girl B but she would deny me everytime because she wants to just be friends. Therefore, eventually I would tire her out and we would no longer be friends.


So I pick option C.

I'm lactose intolerant and gluten-free so option C is out the window.
I choose B.
I really really want a good trustworthy friend who has the same interests as me, share the same views of the world and whom I enjoy hanging out with. That's my dream.
I'd settle for mediocre romantic relationships if I can have that.
