When it comes to romance, do you think with your head or your heart? I think with my head but often wonder how differently my love life would be if I went with my heart instead.

I follow my heart, which is why I get screwed over everytime.

Its hard because I know I should follow my head but what my heads says is the least fun and since I am driven on emotion, I'd rather go the fun route.

Yep, screws me over everytime!

i wonder about that too.
I have spent my whole life making decisions with my head when it comes to relationships.
But as i am growing older, i find myself thinking about what might have been!
Would i've beeen happier, or just scarred?
i know if i ever get to live my life again, i'll listen to my heart more often and have atleast one pure madheart relationship. but then, how far should one go when following one's heart?
And when we think we are making head decisions, are we just rationalizing the heart fears?
Can one ever tell?

I think that is a fine choice, to go with your heart. Don't be ashamed of that fact. I think it's both brave and admirable!

It's hard not to think about all of the ones who may have gotten away becuase we are so darn practical but then I think of all my friends who, bless their heart (can you tell I'm a southerner) get hurt over and over again. There must be a happy medium, no?
