Answer 2

I somehow clicked with this girl. We were working together at a very adventurous job. I thought she wasn't worth even speaking to the first day I met her. She was nothing like what I ever imagined my girlfriend should be. She had very serious issues, her dad died when she was young and it messed her up. We had a very eventful 4 or 5 years, we traveled and it all ended very badly.

I hope she wasn't my soul mate, but I'm starting to suspect she was because no one else has seemed as real. If that love was a 10 all others have only been 2s or 3s at best.

Most relationships start with an initial infatuation that fades and turns into a more sane everyday kind of love. This one started with complete indifference and slowly built over the years to a kind of infatuation, at least on my part. She kind of had a split personality, to say the least.

I still think about her every day...and this was all a long time ago. Looking back it all seems way too much like Shakespeare adapted to the time.

So sure there is love and there are people who would amount to a soul mate to you. But it is all very rare. And you don't get to choose who you fall in love with.

I'm not sure if it helps to try or not try to find love.

Love is different for everyone. Some people expect a grand role to be played out by their mate and others are just looking for an honest equal. Timing is crucial as is the desire to be with somebody else. People like myself that tend to distance themselves from love are more than likely not ready for love, which is an OK thing at any age. I believe in two types of love, the first being committed to caring for the people and animals around you. The other kind of love is a special committed bond which is based on trust. It doesn't come easy and it seems that most people are attracted to the lifestyle of their mate instead of the real person inside, which explains why the divorce rate hovers around 58%. I think when a person finds true love they know it and when people are in love with a person for what they have, they also know it, but fail to admit it. You know what I am talking about when people say they are going to marry a lawyer or a banker with a house in ten different cities they are attracted to the lifestyle of this stereo type instead of the real person inside. I am not say that a person should fall in love with a homeless street bum, I am just saying that if you are looking for love with too high of expectations you are more than likely setting yourself up for failure at least on the happiness level. I could never suck up to somebody just for their money, I have lived alone too long for that. This is what you get and if it isn't good enough I will go back where I came from, life goes on either way.....

Answer 4

Yes i do believe in love, i am 24 as well and i haven't ever really been in love (there have been times when i thought i was) but im still not disillusioned, i know that one day ill find my soul mate. and if you think you will find you soul mate too, you will.U may think now u don't mind spending your life alone,don't be too sure about that. Be optimistic,keep your hopes high and it'll happen,

Answer 5

I think everyone has a soul mate if they choose to open up their souls. There are people who are forever closed off to love because of previous heart ache and may find it easier to be alone. There is nothing wrong with being alone if that's what you so choose.

Answer 6

I believe in Love wholeheartedly, I fight for it! I do believe that there are soul mates. I just found mine, and I also believe that soul mates don't always have to be the one you fall in love with and marry. Sometimes they can simply be your best friend :)

Don't rush to find someone....they will come to you when you least expect it ~ as planned :)

I'm happily married, but my best friend is my soul mate ~ we are Yin and Yang ~ twinners :)

Answer 7

Yes I believe in love and I believe everyone has a soul mate I just haven't found him yet.

Answer 8

I believe every body has a soul mate. Only maybe you never meet him/her in your lifetime.

Answer 9

i think maybe everyone has a soulmate, but i read some books and they say not everyone's soulmate is on earth at the same time, and also just because they're your soulmate doesn't make it necessarily a romantic thing. your best friend or sister could be your soulmate.

romantically? i don't think mine is here. if they were, i would have met them by now. like i'm supposed to wait until i'm 50 or 70 to meet the one for me, living my whole life without them? screw that!!!!!

Answer 10

i believe we all have a soul mate - right now i'm not looking but i believe he'll come to me when the time is right

Answer 11

I am not trying to find anyone, I am perfectly happy being single and alone. I have been single for over 5 years and I am fine with that. Nobody to answer to and it is great. :)
