I think there is such a thing as true love. Love at its purest and most honest could be considered true love, whether it be maternal, paternal, sisterly, brotherly, friendly or romantic love.
But I have a problem with the soul mate theory and believing there is only one person out there for everyone. Depending on your decisions and how you live your life--if there is only one person out there with whom you belong--you may never meet him or her. I just find the argument for soul mates very flawed. To recognize a soul mate at all, we need to know our own soul especially well, and I think that we spend most of our lives learning more about ourselves than we do about other people.

That is a touchy matter. People will have different opinions based on their life experiences, or even their current mood. Personally, I believe in it. Although there were times when I didn't, such as when my heart was broken and there seemed to be no way of mending it. But time, the all-cure, worked its magic and now I'm (almost) better. I again believe that somewhere out there, I have a soul mate and just as I search for her, she is searching for me. And when we meet it'll be like magic from the very beginning.

I don't think there's really such a thing as soulmate only because I realized that only after I changed myself into a better person that I started having better relationships. I feel now that I can be happy with anyone (to a certain extent) because I know how to love and share and I understand how life is. I don't necessarily believe that there's only one person out there for you. I think relationships are good until they last, and then you move on to the next better one.

Soulmates are simply people we feel very strong connections to right away (deep connections). They can be same or opposite sex, romantic potential or not. You might meet several in a lifetime, or none. True love is just love. If you feel love, then it's true so there's no need for that word. Love is love (a very strong emotion) that exists on different levels and of different types (I love my car, i love my mom, I love my significant other, etc). Yes, a LOT of love exists in the world and most people meet romantic partners in their life that they feel love toward. Happily everafter is fairy tales. Some couples to stay together the rest of their lives (or one of their lives anyway) but most often relationships don't last that long. They should last as long as it is good and right for both people...when that is no longer the case, it's time to move on.

If the desire exists, the object exists.

I don't think so. It is just chemical reactions in your brain.
