i bet i'll get a whole hellava lot more takers for the first one then the second! why? variety of reasons.. lets list some?
1. instant gratification (people we r talkin bout _LOVE_ here, not what u r thinkin bout!)
2.zero emotional hurt (whatz the worst u could do? spill HOT coffee on urself?)
3.it helps u get outta bed in the morning
4.its comparitively inexpensive (what do ya mean how come!? seen the recent valentine day prices?!?!)
5.coffee is waayyyyy more understanding! (when was the last time ur coffee got bugged with u because it got cold waitin for u?!)
6.less stress on ur memory! (coffee really doesn't expect u to remember the date u 1st met each other,the 1st time u locked lips, the 1st...ok ok u get the picture!)
7.this is the clincher - coffee never runs away in the midst of an argument (staying power, man that counts!!!)
....time for me to get back to work..enjoyable as it is discussing the merits of coffee (substitute tea for tea lovers, myself included!)

will leave u for the day with this peice :

Have you ever been in love?
Horrible, isn't it?
It makes you so vulnerable.
It opens your head
And it opens your heart
And it means someone can get inside you
And mess you up.

You build up all these defenses.
You build up this whole armor,
For years, so nothing can hurt you,
Then one stupid person,
No different from any other stupid person,
Wanders into your stupid life...

You give them a piece of you.
Without them even asking for it.
They just do something dumb one day
Like kiss you, or smile at you, or look at you!
And then your life isn't your own anymore.

Love takes hostages. It gets inside you.
It eats you inside out and
Leaves you crying in the darkness,
So a simple phrase like
'Maybe we should just be friends'
Or 'how very perceptive'
Turns into a glass splinter
Working its way into your heart.

It hurts.
Not just in the imagination.
Not just in the mind.
It's a soul-hurt,
A body-hurt, a real
gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.

Does God punish or reward us with love?
