Do you still believe in soulmates (18+)?

Question

When I was little, I always believed that there was ONE person out there just for me. Now, here I am twenty something years later, - gone through a few 'potientals' but still single.

I just don't know if I believe in there being one person anymore, or if there are alot of people who come along at different times in life when you need them the most and the one you can stand to be around the most is the one who wins your heart.

Maybe I am just bitter.

So, my question is, do YOU still believe in soulmates?

Answer 1

Nope.

Nothing against my wife, but I don't believe in soulmates or destiny. I am sure I would have eventually found another to be happy with if I hadn't found her.

If there is ONE person out there for you you'd better hope they aren't born on the other side of the planet or that they stay healthy until you find them. Considering that you meet at BEST maybe 10,000 people in your life, the chances of you finding your "ONE" out of the 500-800 million men your age out there is practically zero.

Answer 2

I do believe in soulmates - I found mine but I cannot be with him in this lifetime. I think when you do meet your soulmate something just binds you together and no matter what happens in life you get though it as a couple and would never even entertain the idea of leaving them. They are like the missing piece of you and are a positive motivating force within your life (listen to Aaliyah- Let me know). Nothin or no-one will take you away from their love and you want to give them everything even if you suffer. you don't really know that theya re your soulmate until a few years down the line and you have faced lifes trials. Thats a soulmate and your life is so much richer as a result of being with them.

Answer 3

Thats an interesting question, and combined with the posibilities of the "6 degrees of separation" theory,
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_seperation)
it brings about a lot of possibilites. unfortunately, your soulmate could be a Pigmy in the deepest forrest of Africa. The question is, are yuo willing to search the ends of the earth to find them (if ever), or do you want to live your life the way you want, and find someone you have a little more in common with than say poison dart frog licking.
I just have the stance that just because you may have a soul-mate, does that mean you will even like them, let alone live on the same continent?

Answer 4

I believe in Soul Mates! But I also believe that love takes work and nothing is easy. Nothing is perfect, not even with your soul mate. It is easy to say you love someone when everything is perfect but true love is also found in the struggles and in the times that are painful and rough. That is when you know you love somebody. When you can stand by them and them by you in the hardest of times. A soulmate is not some magical love that sweeps you off your feet and you never shed a tear again. That happens in heaven! We are still on Earth and pain and suffering are a part of our life down here. So, just remember that love takes work and there is no magic. Hang in there and take time to learn and love yourself for then and only then can you truly love and accept love from another human being.

Answer 5

I beleive that some people are meant to have just one love in their life and that others are meant to have more. There is no way to know.
Sometimes it feels like it's destiny, but even destiny needs a little help. You have to be willing to work to find that person.

An other thing is that I always wondered how you know it is your soulmate. I think you can believe in it, but you probably won't really know for sure until you're much much older. Because life is full of surprises.

Answer 6

I used to believe in it... I still do, but I'm more realistic about it. I know now that my soulmate won't be found by simply looking for her. I was with a girl I loved very much for a while and it seemed so perfect until I realized just how miserable I was. I was hiding behind being in love and that ain't right. In the end, it didn't work out and I got bitter about it but I still believe she's out there. But I'm gonna meet her by pure chance. Don't know how, but that's ok.

Answer 7

I believe that God knows who I will one day marry from before the foundations of the earth were laid down. I pray for her the best I can, but I do not yet know who she is. That being said, I also believe that we are each given the free will to choose what we are going to do and who we are going to love and marry. Love is a choice and a promise. Once one decides to love someone else and begins to continually give to that person and show love to that person then the love grows and grows.

Answer 8

It is possible to find that special person out there for you. But don't always expect "perfection". If you do, then you may be disappointed each time. Sure, you need to have things in common, such as goals or dreams, but each person is unique, having been shaped by their own personal life-experiences. Sometimes, you have to ask yourself if you can live with small flaws in their character, and if so, then how much? There may be no "right" answer for you, but keep your dreams. Someday, the right person you find may be right under your nose. Good luck and happiness to you.

Answer 9

To find your soul-mate takes a lot of looking and some never find that person. That's sad. What you might find instead is a best friend that is also your lover. That can be the most rewarding relationship.

Answer 10

im 18 and i kno it seems cheesy but i think i truly found mine. ibefore i wasnte sure that there was 1 special person for everyone that we would just settle for the best we found but then i meet my boyfriend, we have been doing out for about a year now and i love him more and more everyday, i never believed someone could make me feel as special and wanted the way he does. our personalities arent exactly the same but match basically i do believe in soul mates, some one who will make you feel loved cares for wanted and just alive.
