In dramaland, leading ladies often find themselves torn between the love of two equally attractive men — a choice none of us would want to make! But what if you did have to pick between the frustrating lawyer and the adorkable police officer? In this feature, we ask you to make the difficult decisions — and we aren’t limiting our options to dreamy oppas.

WOULD YOU RATHER #46 RESULTS
Our last Would You Rather prompt was full of nostalgia, but when it comes to memories of past loves and friendships, only a mere 21% of you thought fondly enough of your first love to want to reunite in the present. As @sunnyboo eloquently put it, “sometimes friendships feel more able to weather many storms than romantic relationships.” Then again, first loves — assuming they weren’t one-sided — do have a tendency to end abruptly and with a lot of hurt feelings.
Childhood friendships that don’t stand the test of time, however, typically end because families relocate and/or people just naturally grow apart with time and physical separation. Without the intense negative emotions tied to a break-up, it’s easier to “reunite with childhood friends and rant about just anything,” like @bunnysonaki said. With childhood friendships, there’s “a lot of catching up to be done” (@jerrykuvira), which makes for “an easier conversational pathway to the present” (@welh640).
So, yeah, it’s less awkward to start a conversation with a childhood friend as opposed to an ex, but — if we are talking about one-sided crushes from the fifth grade — I can’t be the only one morbidly curious to find know what happened to their “first crush,” right? Did they grow up to be leading man material? Or would they have been an extra in Squid Game?
