A short dialog

Hello, teachers!

Would you please tell me if this is acceptable?

A: I'm being between Luke and Tom. Luke is rich, and Tom is handsome and kind. Who do you think is better for me?
B; I think Tom is best. You're quite/somewhat extravagant and vain, aren't you?

Thank you very much.
Peace!

Sounds reasonable to me, Ms. Jandi.

Or:

'I'm torn between Luke and Tom, etc.'

Though I don't quite get 'extravagant and vain'. 'Extravagant' seems to belong with Luke, and 'vain' with Tom.

Perhaps:

'I think Tom's better. You're already too extravagant.'
