How to Choose Between Two Girls

You may be living a guy's dream by dating 2 different girls that you're attracted to, but rethink the situation if you're feeling dissatisfied. Do some soul-searching to choose between them and build one loving, meaningful relationship that will last a lifetime.

Instructions

1. Anticipate any background, communication, financial, sexual, organizational or religious differences that you may have with one of them as your relationship matures.

2. Compare their personalities with yours. While it's true that compromise is vital and that you can have different interests, you may grow resentful after years of partying every night when you'd rather stay home to read a book, for example. Decide who has the temperament and key interests most compatible with yours.

3. Contemplate your future. If you want to travel the world with your significant other and don't see yourself having children, for example, you'll be facing a future of conflict if one of them wants to settle down and have a family immediately.

4. Look at your history together to weigh who has given you invaluable support and understanding while you've gone through a family crisis, had job woes or fallen ill.

5. Determine which one will put up with your quirky hobbies, pet peeves and foibles.

6. Discuss the situation with your family and friends, particularly if they've met both girls. Ask for specifics if they strongly prefer one over the other. Similarly, consider how you feel about their families and friends. If your relationship turns serious, you'll be seeing your in-laws often.

Tips & Warnings

• If you weigh all of the pros and cons and still can't decide, maybe neither girl is "the one" for you. Unless you're happy keeping up the status quo, consider breaking it off with both to leave yourself available for a new relationship.
