littlewhiterose Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 How often do you follow your gut instinct? or intuition when it comes to dating?
DiscoChick Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 My gut ALWAYS tells me to run. I have literally punched myself after avoiding a guy that could have been great. I just get sick in those types of situations. I don't even bother anymore, so...I guess that would be a no.
temple Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Almost always. If I'm not that into someone, or unsure, they don't get a second date. I don't do the whole 'give them a chance' thing. If I'm not feeling it on the first date then that's it.
threebyfate Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Of the times I've ignored my gut instincts, it came back to bite me in the arse. Listen to them!

I don't ignore them anymore...I've been bitten in the arse one too many times.
LondonS Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 How about if we have the gut feeling that someone likes us and he is giving all them "looks" - do we still believe our instincts??
sparkle Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I wish i followed my gut instinct more often, i would have avoided a lot of terrible decisions LOLL.

When you have good feelings about someone, this isn't instinctual beyond the biological instinct towards physical attraction, hence procreation, when you don't know them very well.
xpaperxcutx Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 There are moments where I decided to go against my intuition and I ended up dating a guy who made me suffer through almost 6 hours of boredom. Sometimes my intuitions are right on the spot and other times they're not. I usually follow them all except there are times that I don't.

It's crazy how you can tap into that "bad" feeling about someone or something, though. Even when all circumstances/info on the person, surrounding the situation are previously unknown.
