...Which one wins for you?
I try very hard to keep a healthy balance of the two, but it's super hard!
I'm talking to a good friend, and the subject comes up. A person she works with asked her on a date last night. They have been good friends as long as they've known each other, and recently she suspected he might want more than that. She made a plan - he asked her out, she said no. Simple plan. Unraveled plan. She voiced her concerns (dating a coworker, having to keep it secret, messing up a friendship), and he just asked her to think about it. So, of course, she has been.
I asked her if she is attracted to him and she said yes. And I know she likes spending time with him. To me, that only makes sense that they should at least try dating out & see what happens. To her, the fact that they work together and it's a "bad idea" outweighs any of that.
I decided it's probably better to be rational all the time than emotional all the time, but obviously neither one is going to be ideal...When should you let one or the other win?

I feel like there should be a happy balance. I think definitely always emotional is bad but I think always rational is equally as bad. Because if your always rational you never take risk. If you don't take risk and live a little on the edge are you ever really living? I think not. I think you have to look rationally at situations in order to not pretend like they are more than you are. Most the time in matters of the heart your mind has no say. Sometimes its great to go out on a limb and just LIVE...just be...and enjoy seeing what happens cause your following your heart!
