undecided between two options · can't choose between X and Y
Ever stared at two amazing items in a store, completely unable to pick just one? 🤯 This expression perfectly captures that feeling of being stuck between two equally appealing choices. It's like your brain is a tug-of-war, and X and Y are both winning! Use it when you need help deciding or just want to express your dilemma. 🤔🛍️
Which situation is most appropriate for using 'I'm torn between X and Y'? A. When you've already decided what to buy and are at the checkout. B. When you're telling a friend about a great deal you found on a new gadget. C. When you're trying to choose between two similar shirts and like both equally.
💡 **Pro-Tip!** While this idiom is often used with two specific options (X and Y), you can also use it more generally, like 'I'm torn about what to do this weekend.' The 'X and Y' structure makes it concrete, but remember it implies a strong internal conflict over a choice! Consider listing pros and cons to help you decide!
