Your Heart or Mind

I could never understand how some people make the decisions they do when it comes to matters of the heart. But whose to say which option is better. I believe if you follow your mind that is smart move but if you follow your heart that is emotional. Is it better to make the smart choice and hope you fall in love with that person, or should you follow your heart from the beginning? That is a tough question but utlimately, you have to do what works best for you. Either way you will be taking a risk. What do you think? And if you don't mind share your experience, it may help someone else :)
