Who is the better boyfriend for Katniss?

Peeta or Gale?

This is a very difficult question, because both of them are very good friends and have good properties. But I think that Katniss should choose Gale as her boyfriend because...

... Katniss knows Gale since many years. They grew up together in district 12 and became very good friends and maybe more.

...Gale is the only person with whom she can be herself.  She can talk with Gale  about serious topics and issues for example about the Hunger Games and the Capitol.

...in the book there was always a connection between Gale and Katniss, which was not only a friendship.

...they are totally honest to each other and trust each other.

→ Of course, Peeta also has good characteristics but Gale is the better one, because he knows more about Katniss and knows what she need.
