Glad to hear it. And you’ve clarified something that I did not: Infatuation is NOT the same as the gut feeling I referred to, which is an instinctive warning, a reaction to someone who is pushing, pressuring, belittling, mocking….but all in the name of wanting you, or wanting something from you, or wanting you to think there’s something slow or reticent or unspontaneous about you. When these are the same men whom we’re infatuated with, it’s difficult to read our instinctive “This Isn’t Right” feelings as serious warning signs. Good for you that you do.
TLG

Now head takes the back seat to my gut. I admit it means I don’t connect as easily or often, but I also am happier freer and trust myself more when I put common sense ahead of infatuation.
I use a rule of thumb. If I have to ask the answer is no. By that I mean if I start to question or discount my inner wisdom, then the answer is no.
