Seems like whatever's going on with John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston, the musician is doing it "from the heart."

Asked about the 39-year-old "Friends" star he's been photographed kissing, Mayer, 30, told USA Today: "All I can tell you is that I have made every decision in my life with complete authenticity. My feet are firmly on the ground. If you do things from the heart, it feels awesome."

Before he reportedly started dating Aniston, Mayer called actress Minka Kelly to tell her he was leaving her for Aniston, the New York Post's Page Six gossip column reported.

A Kelly pal told Page Six, "Minka received a call from John prior to the story breaking about his relationship with Jennifer. He apologized to Minka, [saying,] 'Sorry, but I'm really in love.'"

Kelly found that interesting, as "during his relationship with her, John mentioned, 'I don't really get this Jennifer Aniston thing,'" the pal said.

Mayer also spoke to the Telegraph’s Seven magazine about his reputation as a womanizer.

"Instead of worrying about career damage, I've dated women," the singer-songwriter stated plainly. "All I've ever done was decided that I fancied somebody, and said, ‘Would you like to go out and get a meal somewhere?’ And done so in a social setting, where other people can see you. And then maybe, ‘Would you like to go have another meal?’ Maybe did that a few times."

Mayer said he's tried to quit relationships when things weren’t working.

"When I realized that I didn't wanna wrong anybody by continuing, [I] said, ‘I'd rather be a great friend to you than a bad boyfriend,’" he said. "I swear to God, I have a really good track record!"

Mayer added, "I've never cheated on anybody, so you won't have anybody coming out the woodwork saying that I have."
