Are soulmates real? I'm a hopeless romantic and probably watch too many soppy love films...?

Question

I know a lot of you are going to call me sad...

I love the idea of there being someone special out there - just that one person that sets off fireworks in your heart.

Are soulmates real....?

Answer 1

I don't believe in soul mates but I don't find anything wrong with being a hopeless romantic.

Remember that you cannot live life based on a movie. There are no neat little categories and you may not get swept off your feet you might have to do the sweeping.

There is someone out there for you that compliments your weakness with strength, that compliments your sadness with joy but that is a two way street.

Good luck.

PS I am a romantic person as well.

Answer 2

Yes, soulmates are real & I've had a few soulmates in my life. It doesn't mean that they are the "one" person for you. I am happily married to a soulmate. I have another soulmate at work & we both know it though we're both happily married to other people. Just that we get where each other are coming from & will always have a special bond (but one that will probably never be sexual). Being a hopeless romatic & looking for the knight in shining armor is an entirely different thing -if I hadn't met my wife when I did, I probably would have met someone else at a later time. Some people by their nature will have fewer soulmates than others (Ozzy Osbourne says that his wife is probably the only person who would have put up with him). It is great to have a soulmate, but it takes time to figure out that someone is a soulmate.

Okay, you're not sad, just mislead. It's cool man, a lot of people have been (so much more than you realize). First off, soulmates are not real. Sorry to burst that little bubble of yours, but just like everyone else on here will agree, it had to be done.

Riddle me this if you will: How are you supposed to find this "soulmate" of yours if you're at home sitting in front of the computer while watching some mushy romance movie by yourself?

Although soulmates aren't actually real, I have good news for you. That saying about how there is someone for everyone IS true. So the smart thing to do would be to just get out there and start meeting people until you find that special someone that you can actually fall in love with, not sitting at home on the computer.

If you're afraid to get out there and meet people, you should consider something else while we're at this. You don't actually believe your "soulmate" is going to fall in love with you for being a really shy wuss now do you? We both know that little fantasy of yours doesn't include you being really shy and quiet. We also KNOW you would rather be putting the moves on her too.

Bottom line: Drop this wuss crap and go meet someone decent.

Yes. U mean romantic soulmates? There are friend and fmaily soulmates too. I met all of mine, sadly u don't always end up w them. Or stay w him. It is TRUE. It's on a website. I dunno about the fireworks bit tho. And it's sappy* Nothing wrong w being romantic. Doesn't make u sad. It is kinda sad tho! could have more than one soulmate. Very true. No, U CAN'T say every1 has a soulmate. Not romantically. I don't BELIEVE that. Or u can but u don't stay or meet, like mine. I don't even know. Realizing it too late? I agree, happeneed to me! And it DOES happen when u least expect it, I was in junior high. This guy even said he liked me. I should have known, I think he sent me flowers the year before and I still didn't know, god I was dumb!

Answer 5

Yes they do exist but I think that people often misunderstand what Soulmates actually are.

Also soulmates dont necessarily have to the life partner they can be somebody who is just a friend.They are somebody who inspires you to be your best and who can share your deepest secrets with.
The Book Anam Cara by John O Donoghue is about Soulmates.Anam Cara is the word for Soulmate in Irish though it translates more as Soul Friend that soulmate.The link is below.

Answer 6

You know what, I don't think anyone should call you sad! I am in the middle of being absolutely heartbroken over my boyfriend and I breaking up last week, yet, in the mist of my sadness.. I still believe there is someone for everyone. I am not saying we all meet our soulmates, but I refuse to believe there isn't someone out there for us!

Answer 7

Yes, they are.
Here is how my wife found me:

When she was 9 years old, she wrote down EXACTLY who she was going to marry. When we met at age 16, we both worked in a terrible mini-mall, she instantly new I was the man she would marry. We got married at age 18. We are still married, at age 54.

I was the odd-kid. I did not play football, I was skinny. I did not have black hair. I was the blonde kid with glasses. NO girl would give me the time of day. I said that I wanted to marry a model.

I did. My wife became a model after we got married. We went to college at night. When she would come into my class, every boy there would sit with their mouth's open! All wanted to know if she was my sister. It felt GREAT to tell them, no, we are married.

All these years later, she still has very long and wavy hair. Works out every day. Takes two hours to get dressed every morning. Looks like age 40, at age 54...

She is my soulmate. They are out there. You just need to write down exactly who you are looking for.

Answer 8

Yes,soul mates do exist.I was married for 24yrs to a man who meant everything to me,but I obviously did`nt mean as much to him.He divorced me for someone else and I was alone for 12months and then my daughter was fed up with me moping about and suggested answering some ads in a local newspaper,I did and I met the man of my dreams.It seemed to be fate.We have been together now for 8yrs and married for 5 of those and it`s all thanks to my daughter!I am so much in love with my man and he is my true soul mate.There is somebody out there for everyone,sometimes it takes just a little longer to find them.You will find someone special when you least expect it.Good luck and you are not sad at all.

Answer 9

Yes, I believe that soulmates are real.. not met mine yet but I know I will one day.. I have to believe that because I'm a hopeless romantic as well.. :-))

Answer 10

Soul Mates are very real, but there is something about them
you may not know, have you heard of the Anima and Animus ?.

Well you have probably known or known of people that exhibit
traits that are more often associated with one of the opposite
sex I.E. that man is really in touch with his feminine side, he is showing his Anima, or isnt she a bit on the butch side, here she is showing her Animus. This is all in all of us and an essential part of us.

When we say I have met my soul mate what we are really saying is that we have met our own Anima / Animus, we identify stronly with them because it is in effect a reflection of ourselves that we are seeing, this is why we are, mostly, comfortable with them and can tell them everything etc, this because we are in effect 'talking to ourselves', whilst this may be very comfortable in a friendship it is not good for a healthy relationship because you are effectively 'going out with yourself' it does not last as there is little opportunity to really grow with each other as, well you are the same.

I hope that is clear enough, below are a couple of links if you are interested in reading further, it is more complicated than I have tried to say here but there is limited time etc here so apologies for any inaccuracies.

Go Well...
