KidEternity Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Wow, all this male/women bashing is getting a bit out of hand! Women hate porn, men hate women, everyone is bitter these days, so behold so positivity...(maybe) Anyway I was just wondering what everyone's stance on the soulmate issue is, do you believe there is a soul mate out there for you? A dream guy/girl? Do you believe there is maybe more than one out there? Do you not believe? Also just for fun (laugh all you want) my dream girl is Miss Honey (from the book & film Matilda) no not a porn star, but an intelligent, sweet, pretty caring and kind woman (who loves books). Plus in the movie she is beautiful... Anyway what about you guys, can we please have some positive thoughts about the opposite sex for once... Do you believe there is a soulmate out there for you?
Robin Banks Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 i think so yes, for some strange reason i liked a certain girl when i was erm.... dunno 7/8 lets say and pretty much from their she still has that something about her - more than any other lady i've come accross! Yes when i didnt see her for 4,5 years i didnt think about her, but when i seen her again it all came back, right back to even say the playground.
car2007 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I'm a man and a couple years ago I'd have said that's a fairy tale mothers tell their daughters. Now though: Yes, absolutely. Your soulmate is out there.
carhill Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Do you believe there is a soulmate out there for you? Yes, and I know exactly when she is thinking about me, too Seriously. I remember, back in the old days with hard-wire phones, I'd get this funny feeling, look at the phone, and it'd ring As someone opined here recently, not all soulmates are potential romantic partners, but at some point I intend to find out....
Rolo Tomassi Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 If you believe in a soulmate, and that soulmate dies or otherwise disappears (divorce, becomes a vegetable, mentally 'gone', etc.) and you find another soulmate later, was the first really a soulmate? People like to use the term "the ONE", but is there only one? There are many people who love the idea of the ONE for them who conveniently go from ONE to ONE to ONE, or settle for a long term mate only to pine away the years wondering if a former lover was really their ONE. This notion seems more than a bit immature and really derived from individual insecurities rather than any cosmic truth. Perhaps there are many ONEs out there that would be an equally good match for a person? Maybe it's a bit nearsighted to think that a person is predestined to be with only one soulmate in a lifetime? And if so, does this contradict the idea of the ONE? Childlike romanticism has a funny way of exacerbating our insecurities.
blind_otter Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I think my parents were soulmates. They understood each other in this really intense, strange way. They fought, of course, if you live with someone 24/7 you will fight about some things. But they had this strange current between them. A connection that overcame cultural, religious, and generation gaps that most people cannot overcome. And ultimately, the way she was completely devoted to him, and he to her, was unlike any other couple I've ever encountered. He accepted her craziness, she accepted his craziness. It sometimes felt like the children they had (my sisters and I) were just an afterthought, a natural extension of the intense connection they had, rather than a goal they sought together. And I'm 100% sure my mother will never date or marry again. She is just that loyal. She is still very much in love with my Dad, even though he passed away in 2006. She visits his grave, which is 10 hours away from us, twice a year. She came over to my house recently and saw his pitcture up on my mantle and went over and touched his face so tenderly. I often wished, growing up and even now, that she would show me a portion of the love she obviously has for my father.
BigJ Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I believe that there are specific personalities that mesh extremely well and that finding one such person for yourself is rare and valuable, but the idea that somewhere out there is your one and only is ludicrous.
reliance Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I don't believe in dream guys/girls. But i do believe in soul mates.
monkey5 Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 my grandparents are actually soulmates. My grandma said that when they met, they both knew that the other was "the one" right off the bat. the day they met, they became inseperable. And they have been married for 61 years.
RedneckRomeo Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Soulmates? Yes - I believe in that. But moreover - I believe that everyone you ever meet or see or have a relationship with was brought into your life at exactly the right time to give you exactly what you need at that point in your life. That could be a lesson, or a test, or anything - even love. You may be meant to love that person for eternity - but then again - you may be meant to have them in your life for just a small portion of it - or even just be very close friends. Whoever it is - you will meet them at some point in your life - and you will be better off for it all! When I look back on my life - everything that has happened has had a great effect on bringing me to where I am now in life, and making me the man I am. Had it not been for every single person in my life - even the ones that brought sadness and tears - I would be a different man right now - which I would not enjoy. I'm thankful for the tears - because I am a better man because of them.
SOS_Please Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 You know, I use to think it was a bunch of crap. However, I've come to believe that there is such a thing as a soul mate. I think that we each have one person who is our other half and completes us. However, that doesn't mean you will find them, or that they are even alive in this space and time. It just means that there is a piece of our soul that completes us and, yet, seperate from us. I also believe you can meet your soul mate, and never marry, date, or even befriend them. I honestly believe I met my soul mate, but he is married and very loyal--he would never cheat on his wife, and I would never want him to. I think he feels the same way about me. I mean, I know what he is going to wear, practically every day, and we finish eachother's sentences, etc. I mean, you meet someone and you just "know." However, that doesn't mean you'll get your fairytale ending. That being said, I do think more than one person can make us happy--we can be happy with a number of people. However, we can only be truly "completed" with the One.
Trialbyfire Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 No, I don't believe in soulmates. There's more than one person for everyone, at least in reference to compatibility and chemistry. I also see soulmates and dream guy/girl, as different things, in that the former is fated and the latter, your fantasy wish list. As for my dream guy, he will be perfect for me. *swoons*
81West Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I believe that there are specific personalities that mesh extremely well and that finding one such person for yourself is rare and valuable, but the idea that somewhere out there is your one and only is ludicrous. Well said. There are surely multiple people in the world who would qualify as soulmates at various points of our lives. However, you need to be in the same space, at the same time, both ready, both available - the odds are so long that most of us may only find our 'one' if we're extraordinarily lucky. It's a beautiful and unmistakable thing when you do though.
