Narrowing Down My Options

I had about 4 candidates for my next boy friend. One was an old crush that I could never 
forget. I haven't seen him since Junior high school but his memory still sticks in my mind. He 
isn't really a candidate just a maybe. A maybe that sometime in the future we will cross paths 
again. 

My next candidate he was a real looker. The type of guy that had woman kneeling down and 
bowing because of his suaveness. A player for real could break my heart into two but for some 
reason that makes him all the more appealing. 

Another candidate well he was younger than me, had that same quietness about him with the 
sexiness mixed in it. I catch him eyeing me from across the room sometimes and even though 
he is younger he seems old. Maybe experienced or just wise.

My next candidate well he's older than me and has a job and is going to college he is doing his 
thing. He knows just how to make me smile and his sexiness is just on a whole another level. 
Our connection is not just physical it's something mental.  

        As I look at all may candidates I can't help but laugh. The choice should be really simple but 
than again it's not. How am I going to possibly figure out which one is for me and which ones I 
can discard.
