These are the most intriguing questions of love. It's not all the time that we get the chance to use both. So, which will you choose?

I usually rationalize and tend to follow my mind more, but I think there should be a balance between the mind's decision and the heart's yearning. If we just follow our minds, it is wise but we can't be truly happy. The heart will always be pounding, waiting for us to listen to it. If we just follow our hearts, we feel happy but it's not easy to live up to it. So, I would say that as much as we can, follow both.

i would follow my mind if i decide to settle down. of course you have to consider a lot of factors when you get married. If the guy has low income or worst, no job at all, i would not marry him. these days, we need to be more practical. but, if it's just for companionship or puppy love, i would choose my heart.

I agree with you on this point of view as such that mind plays a important role in life in context to heart of so. Severely mind goes on certain critically important decision as such it would decide on as to what is right and what is wrong it will then depend upon the heart of individual whether its more good for that individual or not so. Similarly in certain circumstances of so the mind and heart play equal role on certain things which in turn are related with both.

As much as possible in every decision I make I'll used my mind over my heart that way I would be sure that I'm doing the right thing and won't regret at the end because there are times we made crazy decisions that we regret eventually because we used our heart and therefore we ended up loosing something because when you used your heart then you also used your emotion there and with that you came to a point of loosing everything because you never consult your brain for that. On the other hand, if you do the right thing then you're pretty sure that you used your mind for that matter and because of that you loose nothing but the good thing is you gain something. So it's better to consult our mind first that's why God position our brain much higher than our heart because He wants us to used it before making a decision because not all the time it's appropriate to listen to our hearts because it is capable of fooling us and making us blind.

When you fall in love, which one do you use? The mind perceives, but the heart dictates the emotions... When love comes, we never choose, we rely on what we we feel that results to boggling our minds and chances are that you would be losing your mind because it could never control what you feel in your heart that is if you truly are in love... When you fall out of love, which one do you use? The mind dictates, but the heart endures... We use our mind because we have a choice, but if you use your heart, you don't have a choice but to endure.

This a good question. I have the tendancy to follow my mind. I think mostly people have that tendancy. When I think about the issue happened in my life which required decision making from heart or mind. I followed mind for some time while dealing with the issue, but later I took the final decision depending on what my heart said.

People in love are totally fool! If you still can choose between mind and heart, it means you are still rational and not in a frenzy love relationship. I used my heart before and got some hurt, so I would try to be rational in the future, so I guess I won't actually love anyone, because I'll try to use my mind all the time. I think the point is choosing the right person, then using your heart or mind, no difference. Good luck!

I would say follow your heart. But I know, that if I had the decision I would probably go with my head - I want the type of guy that can provide for me and will be there for me.. I need financial back up. As bad as that sounds its true. Wouldn't all girls want that? That is just the truth. But to find true love.. it's to follow your heart.
