Feeling like I am living in a material world and I am a material girl. I am starting to have this feeling a lot lately.

Confused.
When the heart yearns, but reason spurns - which one should one follow?

Perhaps the reason that spurns though most of the times, it is difficult to control the yearning heart.Originally Posted by caesar

Thanks you Penzy. You're a smarty.
When it is a matter of love, is it still apt to rely on reason and not on instinct?
"Don't need a gun to blow your mind"
That's a tough one. I think if you follow reason, you may live to regret it, you will always wonder, "what would've happend if I had followed my heart", those regrets can haunt you for a long time. You won't always be in a position to go where your heart leads, there may be a time when reason is your only recourse so I think, if you are single, free of familial obligations, follow your heart.
Yes, it's indeed tough and the problem is even if you follow your heart, then you can regret it that why you didn't follow reason. Unless, you consider following your heart itself a reason.

If its a matter of love, you'll never regret following your heart.
Unless the love turns up one sided, right? I mean, you can follow your heart all you want but that doesn't compel others to reciprocate. In 5 years, who knows, maybe she won't respect you because you aren't as reasonable as she thought you were.
People fall out of love.

Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.
I think that's true. You may get hurt, it may end badly but at least there isn't that haunting feeling of "what if" that you get if you don't pursue your instincts. There is no sense of resolution in walking away, if you follow your heart and then crash and burn, at least you can say, "I gave it a try and it was a really bad idea" and then move on...theorectically anyway.
Big, monstrous theoretical in my opinion....theorectically anyway.

But that hurt which you get after being turned down in love can be worse. Oh well, I guess that it depends on your situation...I think that's true.

Well, yes...but for me, regrets are always harder to deal with than consequences. I would rather have my heart broken than to deal with the uncertainty of what might have been. I have always accepted the consequences of my actions quite well, I never sit there and think 'why me?', I realize that whatever unpleasantness I'm dealing with was the result of decisions I made and I grin and bear it.
The fact of the matter is that the lady has put the ball in my court; not directly, though. But you can easily tell when a girl goes gaga over you.
I’m indecisive because, firstly, she is my subordinate and it might lead to complications at my office and secondly, because I have fallen merely for her looks and I already want, regardless of my falling in love with her, to change her (because I disagree with almost all her opinions, ideas and even ideals). This again might lead to complications because one should love another the way he/she is.

This goes for me as well.....

I don't deal well with things that are left unresolved so I suppose your course of action depends on what sort of person you are, are you able to let unresolved relationships go? Are you the sort of person who is greatly, adversely affected by romantic disappointments? Then maybe reason is the way to go but if you're like me, you can deal with pain, but not regrets, then go with your heart. That's my great advice and I'm sticking to it.
I'm feeling extradordinarily happy....
But I need advice desparately ^_^
Not so different from Caesar's situation.
