Donuts vs. Bagels

I'm so confused.
I went out with T last night to a wine bar in Lincoln Park and had a really nice time. I realized that I am really attracted to him physically. There's something passionate about him that makes me melt, but I don't know if it goes beyond physical attraction.
Then there is P. He is also good-looking, but I am really drawn to him in an intellectual manner. Our conversations make me melt.
During a break from a meeting at work this afternoon, I was trying to explain my dilemma to my coworkers.
"Ahhhh," said my coworker Robin. "You've got yourself a donut and a bagel."
"Huh?" I said.
"A donut," said Robin, "is a guy that you're really physically attracted to and know you can have fun with at the moment. A donut tastes really good but it's not something you can eat every day for the rest of your life."
"A bagel, on the other hand," she continued, "is a guy who is really great and fulfilling and will continue to be way into the future. A bagel may not taste as delectable as a donut, but it's much better for you in the long term. And with a bagel, you have the option of making it taste better by adding some cream cheese."
Then she looked at me and said, "You're young. You can afford to indulge in the donut for a little before switching to the bagel."
Hmmmm... in this day of low-carb diets, though, I wonder if it's safe to indulge in either. What type of guy would be a hard-boiled egg or a piece of bacon?

A hard boiled egg guy would be tough on the outside, but soft on the inside. The shell is what you have to get through to get to the heart. Solid but not very satisfying.
A piece of bacon. . . can be either hard or soft. Mostly fragile though, tends to fall apart easily and always leaves you wanting more.

One more thought. . . what would a pop tart be?
