Thought and Feeling wrt Love

I found to my surprise, that thoughts and feelings ( intellect and emtions) act in a funny way with respect to one of the issues that matters most to me, i.e. love.

Sometimes, the feeling is one generated of sorrow from memory(longing but not getting) , but the intellect tells me to go ahead anyways.

Sometimes, i feel the intense need for companionship, and the intellect intervenes otherwise, telling me to be cautious and wise in whatever i do(i.e. not really investing emotion at all).

But emotions and thoughts are always at crossroads, and it really produces a mess in the mind which is highly undesirable and self defeating beyond doubt.

How to produce clarity in such a case.

I 'll examine :

Looking at the positive possibilities alone, i intellectually see that it is possible for me to have a very healthy, deep relationship with someone if i am willing to be the best i can be.
And i really feel that such is the way to go. And i feel the need anway, so that prepares me.

Really, i feel that it is best to look at only one kind of possibility at one time and be clear within myself.

Lookin at both simultaneously really messes me up.

hi there,
personally, i feel ur companion should b a great freind of yours
i think both intellect n emotions don't work simultaneously.

i believe that your intellect helps u in judgin if a person is right(if u can get along) 4 u in terms of same mental wavelength, mannerisms, character, values, etc..
you get emotionally involved once you spend time together.i feel that none of us can start carin 4 someone unless n until u know that person(i don't believe in love at firstsight)
n when u talk abt longing n ur intellect asks u to move on then its not true love, its mere infactuation. true love is developed over a period of time

Agree with a lot u say.
The trouble can be when u love someone and the other person doesn't.
For you, the wavelength matches and u begin to care but the other person doesn't.
Thats what the mess is all about.

but how can u be so sure that the other person doesn't love u? did she expressly tell u something like that?
if she's your friend then its easy to get close to her. all u have to do is try n become a very good friend of her. maybe later on when the time's right u can ask her out. until then dont even think abt that. be patient and be very careful don't be in a hurry. u gotta understand her. let her feel secure with u.
a li'l secret- girls really appreciate this and they would love to find a companion in a best friend
