Can we trust our gut feeling whether it be negative or positive?Why do I always read stories here that negative gut feelings are right like for example cheating? But what about the positive ones like when we feel that someone is interested with you or is still in love with you.Has anyone here proven that these kind of feelings are not reliable and has proven that they are wrong of what they felt. Just wanted to know guys.Thanks in advance for your replies. Reply to this Question

reader, anonymous, writes (27 August 2009): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThanks guys, you made me feel like I am not alone with this gut feelings. I just wanna know who has proven it wrong.Anyway, if you are curious to know..I asked this mainly for two reasons. One, I am currently getting to know a guy online who seems to be the perfect guy for me. Everything is right about him and I like him so much. The problem is, I have these feelings inside me that he may not be what he says he is. I don't know if I am just paranoid. I called his workplace and discovered he is not working there (I wrote about this actually a few days ago). So now I am backing off from him but sometimes I wonder, what if I made a mistake on my judgement of him and I might lose the man who is actually perfect for me.Another reason is my ex, I have been broken up with him for 4 months now but we still find our way to contact each other for some silly reasons once or twice a week. I have since stopped replying to him but he continues to contact me and refuses to finish things off. I don't know, I feel strongly that he still loves me thats why he does that. I feel he doesn't want to totally let me go. I can't say he's after the sex as we have not talked about this since april and haven't seen each other since July. I know he can live without it as I have proven many times before.With my ex, it doesnt matter if I am right or wrong as we are over. But i wonder about this new guy. Should I trust my instinct or give him the benefit of the doubt and not dump him because he lied about his job (he may have reasons).To Quietecho: you are right I have a story behind this afterall. :)Thanks Tnega, Ifyoudontmind, Starlights and Lostgirl1. Atleast I know that gut feelings have been proven right in most cases.

 Gut feelings are basically a judgement we make about something sometimes called instinct.
Yes you should listen to your gut feeling because its alerting you something which can be good or bad for you. Your basically picking up a vibe.
Ive had gut feelings about people at work and ive been proved right all the time! then again in instances where ive not tuned my feelings properly i mis judge someone to be nice when they are the opposite!
Gut feelings can be right and wrong. It depends how experienced you are at using it, the more you listen to it and proved right the more likely you are not to make mistakes when listening to your instinct.
I have had gut feelings and also a voice in my head (no im not crazy guys!) which often helps me out of bad situations or alerts me to something good.
It was this that told me on the day that i would meet someone special. Turned out gut and voice were right, he was extremely special, and we are now married!
Hope this answers your question.
Good luck!

Well its psychological really, like, if you have a bad feeling in the morning when you wake up, and your car tire burts on the way to work.. you exclaim
"I knew something was going to go wrong today"
You already had it established in your mind that some catasrophic even was going to evolve, whether or not it was coincidental.
But good feelings are often times disregarded. If you feel like someone still loves you or you are really in love, there is no way to disprove that .. do you get what I mean?
sorry.. its convaluted
