Do you think it is better to follow your heart or your head when it comes to making affair-related decisions?

Do you think it is better to follow your heart or your head when it comes to making affair-related decisions? Your head. The "heart," ie: feelings, is deceptive and will lead you wrong. Feelings ebb and flow and change often. Sound decision making has very little to do with one's feelings.

No. Feelings change from moment to moment, day to day, week to week.
I find my best decisions are made when I base them on my core values and beliefs.
Love is no different than any other emotion.
If it is wrong to make decisions that are based on anger, why should it be ok to make decisions based on love?

But...always denying your heart will make you a dull and miserable person.
I think you have to learn to use both.
