I always thought that I knew but there are several women whom I thought of as a soul mate. Is this going to be a never ending journey?

I think it is possible. We don't necessarily marry our soul mate though. I grew up with a guy that was closer to me than my own siblings, never were we BF/GF, yet he knew when I was feeling low or just needed to kick up my heels and party. He moved away and I haven't heard from him since. My 2nd husband of 20 years and I were a lot like soul mates, I could talk to him, he was like my best friend, knowing me better than my own self quite a few times. A couple years ago I had the good fortune of meeting a man that came into my life briefly but what he left I'd never trade. He had a rough life since childhood. Mine was pretty common compared to his. He was a drug abuser and an alcoholic, didn't have a job nor the education to get a good one. He had been married with a child but neither had anything to do with him because of his addictions. I was none of those things. Yet, we sat and talked for hours (when he was sober). There was nothing we couldn't talk about. He told me his troubles, his dreams and his desires. I talked about my job, my kids and what I wanted out of life. There was nothing sexual between us. I think our paths were meant to cross, so I could understand why people did what they did to themselves and he could see that with a little drive and determination a person could pull themselves together and become a productive citizen.
Sometimes I think a soul mate might be your opposite, that's why you said, several women. In reality it might be just someone that is so exactly like you on the inside even though your actions may be different to the world at large.

There is no such thing as one perfect soul mate in the romantic love sense. We have many "soul mates" or people that we have shared lives with, over and over again. These are the people we meet who are instantly familiar to us.
When it comes to romantic love go with your feelings of the moment. Any one can be the one you fall in love with, the grass isn't necessarily going to be greener elsewhere with some fictitious dream of a perfect partner "out there" waiting for you somewhere. Appreciate the person in front of you here and now. If that's not the person for you now, move on, but don't wait forever for the "perfect" one. It doesn't exist. No one is perfect.

I think so many times in our relationships we look for people to complete us! that's where we go wrong!
I think hat a soul mate brings the good out of you! Your soul mate is like the matching purse for those cute shoes!
You just fit together! i DON'T THINK THAT YOU GET LIKE 2 OR 3 SOUL MATES!
I think that you only get 1 except for in extreme cases like if your 1st one dies!
Cause I don't think that God would want you to spend you life alone!
Right now you think that you have several soul mates simply because you're not quite sure what you truly want!
You'll Get there though! Good Luck!

As per Wikipedia Soulmate (or soul mate) is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep affinity, friendship, love, strong intimacy, sexuality, or compatibility.
Not everyone who uses these terms intends them to carry such high connotations; they are sometimes used simply as an expression of strong emotional feeling for someone.
It maybe concluded that you may have several soul mates because for example friendship with one person does not exclude sexuality with another, therefore you sexual soul mate may exist parallel with the friend soul mate. Once the feeling (love, desire) ends soul mate bond stops to exist and you may develop new soul mate.

I think in this world that we live in that there is more then one soul mate, We live in a world with alot of wonderful men and women, how out of billions of people can you really think there is only one for each of us. I just think that people need to slow down and really really be sure of what they want, how commited they will be. What kind of person do they really want to spend the rest of there life with then go from there.. Just because you think but are hestitant about a relationship and think well this is my last chance let me grab it now then somehow it's not. You might have missed the real deal.

Do NOT confuse "soul mate" with "cell mate".
