I was just curious as to who believes in soulmates. Do you believe there is only one person out there for you? Or do you believe that there is more than one person that can make you happy?

There is no such thing as soul mates. I would say that if met under the proper conditions, approximately 1-5% of people in your demographic (and opposite gender) would be compatible as spouses. This is my guess but I don't think it's unreasonable.
If there was only one person out there for you, you would almost certainly never find him assuming fate didn't dump him in the same high school as you or something.
I think the "under proper conditions" means something. I think a lot of people could click if they met properly.

No such thing as a soulmate, not only because there is no soul to begin with. Consider this, if there is only 1 person out there for you, chances are they are dead, or trapped in some relationship doomed to fail which makes them unhappy, they might be with the wrong "soulmate" for the 4th or 5th time already, most likely with 1-4 kids from previous marriages. If your "soulmate" dies, you are screwed and doomed to stay alone, when you see how many people die alone or even before they develop their sexuality etc, there being "the one for everyone" is more than unlikely. Having said that, i think most people can find a compatible partner for themselves, but that doesn't take only like and persistence, it takes also working on oneself and well.. realizing that nobody is perfect and that whoever you end up with can't be the perfect match for you, only a good or a bad one.

Hi
I think that a person can have one or more soulmates depending on the person. You might have different soulmates for different reasons and they might not all be lovers. It is ok to be soulmates with friends and or lovers and still be true to your own nature.

The closest thing I have to a soulmate is gay. What does that tell you? Here's the definition of "soulmate" from the Rio Madeira Unabridged Dictionary:
Soulmate, noun: A myth perpetrated on single people to give them the false impression that love is necessary.

Soulmates don't exist. What are the odds that most people are born living in the same country, state, city as their "soulmate."

It happens. That's about all I can say. I was lucky enough to marry a wonderful woman. Besides just being kind, patient, loving, fun, sexy and intelligent, we share a lot in terms of attitudes, feelings, opinions, dreams, etc.
And during our life, we have indeed met others that - in that same way - were just as much, if not more compatible with us.
But, yeah, it happens. It's probably more the exception than the rule.

It depends, if two people share something that is beyond lust and passion. What they have would be an "Untouchable" love and soul connection. No matter who ever else they get involved with, that will probably make any any other outsider seem empty and shallow by far. Does that answer your question dirty little secret?P.S. I think u should share with us why u chose that user name. Obviously your hiding somethig, but it may draw more negative responses . Since u seem so incognito.....

I think the whole idea of "soul mates" is just an excuse to be selfish. It sounds so much nicer to say that it didn't work out because we were not soul mates, instead of saying it didn't work out because I cheated, spent all the money, lied, got bored, got lazy working on the relationship.
Relationships take work and people want to be lazy so if it gets too hard the "soul mate" idea gives them a way out.

I believe that you could find plenty of people that you could be happy living with.
But I also believe in soul-mates. I found mine over 20 years ago. The strange thing is that we have nothing in common. Any minute I must spend away from her is a minute of wasted life.
