Good guy vs bad guy?

Allright, so I really need some advice on this one.

Almost two years ago, I met the sweetest guy ever. We dated and have been together for almost one and a half years now. There's a bit of an age difference - I'm 18, he's 25 - but it's never been an issue. He's really very kind, hot :wink: , treats me with so much respect - mr perfect really. But I can't help but feeling a bit trapped.

In addition, I've always had a thing for bad boys - and now I've met this brilliant NHL hockey-player from the US. He's too old (over 30), with lots of tattoos and long hair, loves motorbikes, criminal past - the whole package. Not the kinda guy you'd take home. And I might have fallen for him. We haven't met one-on-one yet, because I don't know what would happen.

Thing is, I'll be moving from Norway in september to go to uni in the UK. Mr perfect has offered to go with me to England, whereas being with mr bad guy would mean I'd have to go with him at some point, because of his job (or break up before I move.) So what the ... am I supposed to do here? I'm so lost.

Neither of them are right and you know it!

The grass is not always greener on the other side sweetie, even if it seems like it! The age difference between the two of you (bad guy and you) seems a bit too much now when you're only 18. If you are unsure about your current boy, then maybe move to the UK without him at first, and see how you feel about him then. Maybe you just need some space/ time for yourself.

you have fallen for someone who you haven't even met yet?

agreed it sounds like you just want one of them for the sake of it.

She haven't met him on her own I believe..
why are you asking for advice from a forum, nobody here knows who you really like better?

If you want advice, I would say stay with the guy you are currently with. If you're going to come back at me with an argument why you shouldn't stay with him, then that tells you all you need to know.

oh sorry just re read it. personally don't see the appeal in the "bad" guy but it's your choice. make sure you make decisions with your head and your heart and not just your heart.

I'd say you should stay with the first one...

Yeah. Don't go with the second one. You know this, or you wouldn't have asked.
Sounds like you won't really be happy with either. It's two ends of a scale... mr nice and ex-con biker. The fact is, if you're even considering running off with tattooed love boy then you don't have very strong feelings for the other bloke and - as you said - you don't even know the hell's angel.

Also... you don't have to be mr nicey nice flowers and puppies 24/7 to be a "good guy". You also don't know this other bloke well enough to say whether he's a good or bad guy under the surface appearances. The thread title you should have gone with is "Nice, boring guy Vs hard as nails random".

NHL player? Please, you have 18 years and you wanna leave everything and go to the USA and live with some ex (or not) criminalist? Do you know that the moment he says "I don't need you" means you have really nothing?! And you even haven't met him yet! Just don't be silly! You have opportunities, you can take up studies in the UK! And you have somebody who respects you and who's going to move with you from Norway (as I guess)... this is beyond my comprehension.

I think you just committed a criminalism against the English language.

This sounds like the plot of a bad romantic novel.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

From the sounds of it, it seems like you're taking the piss a bit. I mean it seems this nice guy has gone out of the way for you, and you're even considering this bad guy because he turns you on. It's a shame that good guys have to be treated this way. If I was the good guy i'd be pretty hurt if I knew that, seeing that all the things that i'd done for you would have been outshadowed by some guy who seems cooler in image only.

Do you even know this so called bad guy properly? Have you got any proof that he's actually an NHL player, not for us but for yourself, you need to know if what he tells you is the truth, especially since he's apparently a bad guy he may well be prone to being a bull****ter too. I've met many people who claim they are many things, but a lot if not all of them turn out to be bull****ters
