help deciding between offers..

Hey guys so I have a big problem (at least I think it is). So I have a few offers on the table and the top two are from BB banks. For my second choice, I spoke to 6 people, all of whom were really nice but all kept drilling me on my commitment to the bank if I got the offer. My first option is a bank where I spoke to 2 people and still managed to pull an offer. I thought my first choice was impossible to get an offer from because I barely networked with them.

Now I am stuck because I was trained to say yes I am always committed to every bank I speak to. I would rather take my first pick but I promised my other bank contacts not to worry that they are my number 1. My second bank was a regional bank in Chicago so that is why they were concerned that I was not committed.

What do you guys think I should do? How often does this situation happen? Thanks fellas

You go with your number 1 pick. Your number 2 pick then goes and offers the position to the next available person.
