When you meet someone who’s amazing and might be a potential partner, which one do you use/trust more: your brain or heart?

Question

Inspired by the song 🎶 Love on the Brain 🎶  Your brain says no but your heart says yes!  What do you do?

It's funny how we associate 'heart' with feelings, cos this organ only pumps blood throughout our body.

Seems like our feelings have all to do with neurones and our brain overall...

Tho my mum said we associate feelings with hearts cos it's more romantic..

Like:

"He loves you with all his heart"

Or

"He loves you with all his brain"

She told me 2nd option would sound weird, that's why.

Tbh it's kinda also weird that we romantise an organ tho...

But yeah, sorry for the whole confusion 😅
I'd try my best to think logically, to answer the question.

I think my heart is more logical than my brain and that's sad lmao

The heart wants what the heart wants, but the brain has to figure out how to deal with the consequences. Just as a matter of personal philosophy, I give more credibility to whoever is responsible for the consequences as far as sorting them out.

Lincoln33 · Accepted Answer

My heart givesva good definition through his character or behavior so I think I will go with my heart

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Follow your heart into a relationship; follow your head out of a relationship.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

My heart guides me to people I enjoy, but my brain helps me recognize if people are bad for me.

I listen to my brain over my heart if it comes to deciding to leave someone. I'm ride or die when it comes to my attachment style due to my abusive upbringing, so listening to my brain when I notice patterns of behaviour I won't like in the long term trumps my heart's attachments.

I left my exes because despite my attachments and love for them, they were never going to be a good fit for me. Logically, the best thing for both of us was to split up and move on.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

They both work in unison when I’m meeting someone who has my heart pumping like crazy and my synapses firing nonstop. When it comes down to my final judgment, I look over things rationally and look at the pros and cons but I find a way to make it work in the end.

MCheetah · Answer

Both. I tend to ask myself " How likely is it that someone real will come of this? " (My brain.) However, I also tend to say to myself, " It's unlikely there's any future here, but for now, just live in the moment. " (My heart.)

dustybiker · Answer

This one is very clearly the gut. Gut instinct. It’s meeting a stranger, but you mesh so well you feel like you’ve known them before. The head and heart are just nodding their beads in agreement.

Guy13 · Answer

I use both my brains 🧠 and 🍆 in a joint Session before submitting to the 💘

melanieeeB · Answer

Mostly I listen to my gut feeling, cause my heart will be stupid and my brain is critical

letuswaltzforthedead · Answer

I have a decently good gut feeling like a lot of people do so I have to think and find out more about the person before I act.

MrPickles13 · Answer

I don't think I trust either of them much my brain looks at the things about them I prefer in a partner and such my heart looks at that emotional aspect.

The fact is neither has ever worked for me yet so I continue blindly hoping that they will get something right.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

I think the thoughts and the mind becomes jumbled when you begin to follow the heart. Better to follow either of the one so as to not cause any kind of jumbling. My preference is the mind.

Andres77 · Answer

Background check and long term behavioral analysis…and how does she smell. are we ever late because she’s putting on makeup.

PamelaRivers · Answer

Has to be both. You can't force feeling where they don't exist. But, you also can't just go based on emotions and not look at other factors.

Shayyyy1 · Answer

I ask a couple questions and proceed from there based in his answers. I also ask sbout his boobies, what he does to see if either of us would be too busy for dates. If during our conversations he manages to make me forget about the whole sssesment thung, i decide to dste him. If he can make me feel comfortable to that extent i'll date him, i dont wanna be anxious around the person i'm dating it shouod be relaxing. Not walking on eggshell. so i xan say i use a little bit of both.

Vanidal · Answer

My heart is always about my inner reaction / personal feelings, never the other person. My brain is an architect, building or cutting bridges between brains and hearts. I pick a mix of both.

Haha456 · Answer

Thinking with your heart will only lead to heart ache in the future. The same problems that your brain sees , which you chose to brush off, will come back to haunt you in the future.

Finchie40 · Answer

Go for it , if you feel that way about someone it’s best to just go for it instead of analyzing it , if it’s mean my to be it’s meant to be , those butterfly feelings don’t come very often

BoobMan · Answer

Ideally I follow both, but if there's a tie it goes to the dick to decide!

whirled_up_girl · Answer

A mix of both but somehow my heart always wins out in the end.

ohsheeT · Answer

My eyes my ears and my energy will tell me everything my eyes see things in my brain doesn't my eyes lets me feel but my heart can't see

DiegoO · Answer

When I met my ex online, at the end I trusted my heart. Hmmm, at least I knew somehow what's a relationship is about. If I ever die soon or later on, I'll die knowing I gave my heart to a woman.

Berethor · Answer

I am man so I prefer to be logical, I prefer to follow my brain and be stoic about it.

JosyJosy · Answer

Always my brain. I've seen many people do stupid things because they chose Heart, and I don't want to be one of them.

ChiTown33 · Answer

Brain. My heart is stupid as s***. 🤣 I don't take anything implied. If she didn't verbally say it to me then she didn't say it.

NathanDavis · Answer

both have to be very and quite sure and on the same page, otherwise... big NOPE

2Wheels · Answer

I used to always just follow my heart it seems, so from now on I'm going to try and use both. 😅

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Brain. Never trust your heart at all regardless the situation. The human heart is deceptive at its core.

Pudsmucker · Answer

Your brain your heart can be deceived constantly. Trust is the most important thing in a person's life.

dragoblack · Answer

Im always cautious even if I trust someone. Brain is "be ready for anything, but don't get too attached" and heart is all "go for it"

nawtee_me · Answer

my brain always gets me in trouble. I have to follow my heart. The heart wants what the heart wants...

d3n0939 · Answer

I trusted heart. But my brain was always right about them.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

My brain, most definitely. The heart is easily deceived and doesn't make good decisions.

TroyDT · Answer

Brain. The heart (emotion) is too deceptive to trust.
