unreal Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 Soulmate is a term that you hear alot. But does anyone really believe in it? Could there really be someone out there made just for you and you made just for them? I don't believe in the whole "soulmate" thing, but I would like to hear some responses to this. Especially if anyone thinks they have a soulmate they have married or what not.
DayumQuitPlayin Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 I'm a believer. And to be completely honest with you.. I believe I've found mine. We would have problems ofcourse.. but there's just something that tells the both of us that we're for eachother. I really wish I could go into detail... but I'd rather not.. because of some people's criticism.. but what I will say is that.. when you find your soulmate.. you'll know. It's almost magical.

I thought I found mine once. As she said, she felt the same. But it didn't work out. And yes, it felt "magical" all along for me.
tattoomytoe Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 i believe it. i think it really happens rarely, but the chance is there. and who knows....maybe everyone even meets their soulmates at one point...but it is up to each of you to recognize and not snub one another.
Adunaphel Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 I don't believe in soulmates..... well, actually I suppose that for every guy/gal on the planet there are several thousands of soulmates.....but you have to be lucky and get to know them, you can't just 'spot' them so easily. I don't think you can find your soulmate and know it in a couple of hours. The day I'll meet a guy who looks -at first sight- like my soulmate I'll run like hell.
whichwayisup Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 I do believe in soulmates...They come in our lives for a reason and it always doesn't have to be romantic and lovey dovey. My soulmate and I are were married in a past life. He's an incredible person and now we are both married to other people in this lifetime, but I do believe we were meant to meet up again and be in eachother's lives now but just as friends.

And yes, it felt "magical" all along for me. Well that's just it, isn't it?...how does a person REALLY know they've met their soulmate? Anyways, interesting discussion...and I'd like to hear more of other people's definition of 'soulmate'.
whichwayisup Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 For me, just everything was familiar...It is more of a feeling more than anything. Like I just knew so much about him right away. We had eerie coincidences with our lives, friends and families...Numbers, birthdays, perfumes, colognes, favourite cartoons, movies, music tastes, food, candy, allergies, the list just goes on and on...So freaky that makes the hair on the back of the neck stand up. I hope this helps abit.
Author unreal Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 Here is the problem I see with the "soulmate" theory. There are roughly 7 BILLION PEOPLE in the world today. What are the odds that you would or could even find that one true "soulmate"? First of all, what would be the odds of your "soulmate" even living near you? Or even running into you in your day to day life? Seems to me the odds would be more favorable to win the lottery than to find your "soulmate" if one even exists. I just don't buy into this theory at all. I think you are just lucky if you can find a mate period that you can get along with and live with. But it is interesting to hear other responses to this thread.
kellyp1 Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 I thought I met my soulmate. It was Valentine's Day last year and so many things had to be right for us to meet. The day had started with my friend and I talking and me describing exactly what I wanted in a guy. Then less than 1 hour later, I met him! He was working on the set of Extreme Makeover (contract work) that was filming by my house. He ended up being everything I said I wanted and I felt different with him than any guy I had ever dated. He said things felt different for him too and from the look I would see in his eye, I believed him. He remembered almost everything I told him and made me feel more than any person that has ever been in my life. Even though we were both in our 30's, he was not ready for a relationship though and a casual relationship wasn't something I wanted. We had 9 months of dating that finally had to end because I couldn't handle the fact that we were not yet exclusive. Even though he is no longer in my life, I still feel a connection to him and know that he is my definition of what a soulmate for me is. Are there other opportunities out there for me? Absolutely, I think you can have love without it being your soulmate. But I will never forget him over any other man that has been in my life.

I loved, I lost...but I continued to feel that some kind of spirtual connection existed between us - in my mind there had to be a reason why the forces of the universe brought us together, the mental and emotional bond was soooo STRONG, I kept perceiving it as being that there MUST be some purpose as to why this person came into my life, and left footprints in my heart (well, in a couple of cases a KNIFE!). Looking back - I would NOT describe any of these guys as my 'soulmate', tho it sure seemed that way for a long time. I'm still unclear of what the definition of 'soulmate' is. Is it essentially about a love that never dies???
