**5.2 Approach-approach conflict**

In this sort of conflict, one person will have two intense, positively valenced desires. Consider the following scenario: A person is faced with two tempting employment offers and must select one of them. Tension results. Such conflicts are less destructive after choosing a side. The other one instantly becomes less significant to him or diminishes. But in some circumstances, choosing will be exceedingly challenging. For instance, a lady must decide between choosing her parents or a lover for an intercaste marriage. These situations are similar to "you can't have your cake and eat it, too."
