Yes. My boyfriend & I are meant for each other. Soulmates. He knew the instant that we met. He said he saw it in my eyes. The passion. We are both Tauruses, both very sensitive & artistic, we're both singer/songwriter/musicians. We share so much in common & the relationship is very intense. The strange thing is how we ended up meeting. If I hadn't moved to this new community, if I hadn't heard about this bar that features local songwriters, I wouldn't have met him. It's like all these things had to happen to fall into place so that I could meet him. He lives in a recording studio & is helping me put together a CD. So many wonderful things are happening lately. I was involved in a record-breaking event & even had my picture on the front of the paper. When you find the right person you just know & everything falls into place.
I believe that you are meant to meet each person in your life for some purpose. Some people are just there to teach you a lesson (about life or yourself) whether or not you choose to learn it. Some people are only there briefly. Others are friends for life but every relationship has value. You just have to know when it comes to romance, to wait for the right one. Too many people settle & don't wait for their soulmate. Then they end up miserable, divorced etc.

There is this "Old Man from the Moon" who ties red strings to couples. Once the red string is tied, the 2 (couple) are meant for each other. This is from an ancient Chinese folk tales.
In life, by coincidence, there are instances when boy meets girl, and (love at first sight, obviously) both know that they are meant for each other . . . . . . . . and some ends up happily ever after, while others ended up in tragedy (Romeo & Juliet, Liang Shang Po & Chu Ying Tai).
Do I believe in it? Hmm................. with countless cycles of birth, death, and re-birth (reincarnation), those who had made pacts to one another in their previous lives will be looking around for their loved ones.

It is a romantic concept. If one person is meant for another, it implies a belief in fate. Fate has your mate picked at the moment of birth. But your life is not all determined by fate. If someone takes matters in their own hands and drinks obsessively, then your intended could die as a result of a drunk driver tempting fate. You would be lonely for the rest of your life because the opportunity for you to meet your destined mate was stolen from you, fodder for a B romance movie.
There are people that seem to be right for each other. Everyone is flawed. When you can find someone that can love you in spite of your flaws. When you can find someone that with similar minor flaws that allow you to laugh at each other and with each other, and you find they have strengths that offset your weaknesses, then you find someone that you are more compatible with for a long term relationship. Once you discover that a life with someone is much better than your life without them, then it is safe to assume that you were meant for each other.

I believe that notion is reserved for die-hard romantics or in fairytale endings, e.g. my parents I thought were meant for one another.
Not that I don't think it's possible, it's more of compromise & trust built with time.
Although it's often the case of love at first sight for some, relationships are trial & error for the most part.
You need to understand your partner and vice versa.

the only person that makes you "meant" for another person is the one inside your head. ...believing that you are meant for another person is a bad thing. its like strapping yourself securely into a car with a drunk driver.
this is the way to think... you want friends in life. friends will make you happy and give you happiness in your life. friend are your friends because they choose to be. the best type of intimate relationship you can have is with someone who is your friend. who isnt staying because the two of you believe you are sacredly bonded. ...who is staying because he or she likes you.
i think we are just animals and there isnt any God. i think you could probably go have sex with 100 women and it woudlnt make any difference as longas it made you happy. but i think the best happiness is found with one partner because being cheated on always always hurts.

Yeah, I do, but didn't really know or experience that person,(Aldara), until 3 1/2 years ago.
I had a notion since very young, of who she was, what she might be like, how we might feel, but in 59 years hadn't found her.
In saying that, it may be that she isn't of the same opinion, and I've accepted that, but it doesn't change my feelings for her, or my desire to be all I can be, for me, and share a life with her.
If ya knew her, you'd love her,,,too,,, as I do.
Thanks for the Q.

You could say that people who are highly compatible are meant for each other.They are friends for life, as well as being partners.
When my wife and I met we both knew that we were meant for each other.
After 35 years, we still enjoy each other's company.

Remember at the end of Forrest Gump, he says some of it is fate and some of it is just chance...I think it's gotta be like that...because it's hard to argue that either one of them doesn't exist at least to a certain degree.

I agree with Schnappa. It's all about working things out as honestly as possible in a relationship.

Yes I do. It seems that when you see certain people together you just know that they were meant for each other.
