Choosing between..

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea?

or...

A rock and a hard place?

or..

the fish and the bear paw?


I have a friend who I think is caught in quite a welcome headache, and yet very potentially tricky decision. Let's call him Lucky.

Background:
Lucky had just fallen out of love and is now focusing his time and attention on his school work. He is very much the alpha male and the fact that he has put on a few kilos but is yet still highly sought after, speaks volumes about his charm.

Situation:
He likes these 2 girls and he's now torn between choosing either of them. Let's call the 2 girls Bubbly, and Pretty.

Lead Actress 1 (Bubbly):
Bubbly, as the name suggests, is erm... very bubbly. She's a natural when it comes to cracking jokes and has this innate ability to make Lucky always tickled when in her company.

She's thoughtful, sweet, playful, naive, and very much a little girl in his eyes. Days with her hardly go by with a frown and its this comfort that is drawing him so much to her. She prepares food for Lucky's pet, makes things for him, and cheers him up when he is down.

Lucky and Bubbly are like two peas in a pod, physically and characteriscally. The fact she is well liked by Lucky's mum could be attributed to the resemblance to her son too. Now, parental pressure is paramount, at least that's the impression he gives me.

The one thing that is holding Lucky back is that Bubbly is too much alike to his lost love not too long ago. Friends have expressed shock at their uncanny resemblance. Lucky is of the same opinion too, although he insists that she is bubbli-er.

He has this fear that if he gets into a relationship with her, it would end up the same way as the previous one. He knows that alikeness could well turn out to be a double edged sword; but is unsure whether it would be friendlier, or suicidal..


Lead Actress 2 (Pretty):
She's the girl who turns heads on the street, and the girl who sets his heart fluttering and racing. What Bubbly lacks in the looks department (which isn't really the case), Pretty more than makes up for it.

She's the girl next door, well mannered, and has had a good upbringing. In short, she's the girl who every guy would love to bring home to.

As much as she sounds like the perfect girl, she's simply unfathomable. Docile one moment, unreasonable the next. Lucky is so often left exasperated and guessing what is on her mind. Conversations with her fluctuate between the sweetest and the most hurting. With her, he never knows what is he gonna get.

Maybe its this aura of invincibility and her playing hard to get that makes Lucky even more determined. She is a girl who he regards as oh so special and no one else comes close to that.

Comparatively, Lucky and Pretty are like chalk and cheese. Lucky is outgoing, Pretty is reserved. Lucky is horizontally challenged, Pretty is more likely to end up anorexic. It is precisely their contrasting characters that always have him thinking what it would be like if they do get together.


So, what do you all think of the two girls and the guy? Who would you choose and why?
