There are certainly spells that you can perform that can help draw your and a perfect mate (I don't really believe in soul-mates, do I'll just use the term "perfect mate") together. I performed one of these myself and within a year I had met the man I am now partnered with.
That being said, are you already a magickal practitioner? I'm going to guess no, or you wouldn't have needed to ask the question. ;)
Magick is a craft and skill that one has to work at for it to become a reliable art, outcome-wise. It's not like baking, where if you have all the right ingredients and follow the instructions carefully you'll automatically have a delicious product. I have to know how to calm you mind, clearly and strongly focus your will, direct your energies (of body, mind, and spirit) in a specific way, and accurately hold a visualization of your goal in your mind for a particular length of time - in order for there to be a good chance of your desire manifesting. So, you'd need to take a good course in at least meditation and visualization, one in energetic awareness and manipulation, and one is the metaphysics of ritual. Then you would be ready to start applying those skills to a spell.
That being said, I can outline for you what it takes for a spell of this kind to be successful.
#1 - You need to be 100% absolutely clear about WHAT you need in a partner. Just coming up with a list of qualities should take you a LONG time. You need to really sit down and get really honest about yourself about what you actually NEED in a partner.
This will take you looking back over your life up to this point and taking note of any patterns that will help dictate what you do not need in a partner. You also need to be able to look honestly at your own strengths and weaknesses as a person; you will want a partner that complements your strengths, and can fill-in-the-gaps where you are weak. You need to be in-touch with yourself enough to know what will truely make you happy in the long run.
Are you the type of person that really needs space in a relationship, or do you need someone that is more an all-the-time kind of partner?
Do you love socializing a need a partner that will also enjoy that lifestyle, or are you more of a homebody that will need a partner that enjoys staying in much of the time?
Are you artistic and need someone who enjoys creative arts and events, or are you a sports fan who wants someone to enjoy games with you?
Do you snore really loudly and need a partner that won't mind that, or are you an insomniac that will need a partner that will be ok with you staying up many nights reading or watching tv?
Are you bad with money and need a partner that can be responsible for the bookkeeping, or are you really tight-fisted and need a partner who is also frugal?
These may seem like silly and overly-specific questions, but these are extremely important things to think about and include in your list. Make a list of these qualities and be VERY specific. Do not leave anything to chance (except for what they look like - don't try to dictate that) in the qualities department.
DO NOT try to perform a love spell on a specific person. There are a whole bunch of ethical ramifications, as well as practical ones that I won't get into here. Suffice it to say that spells on specific people do not turn out well 99.9% of the time - so save yourself alot of heartbreak and just try to attract the partner that is right for you, leaving the WHO up to the Universe/God/Goddess.
* This step is the hardest step to perform. Make sure you REALLY take the time to do this right. You do not want to sit down and do this part in one sitting. Do this over the course of many days or weeks, so that you can really look things over. You may even wish to ask friends to help you indentify your strengths and weakness so you can come to a more accurate list of what you need from a partner.*
#2 - It's time to start putting this list out to the Universe/God/Goddess. This can be done in many different ways - it doesn't HAVE to be through a witchcraft spell, it could be done through focused prayer, through positive affirmations, or any other number of ways. Having that list will already be a huge help to you, as you would have a much better idea of what an ideal partner for you really is.
However, if you want to go the spell route, candle magick is some of the easiest kinds of spells to do as a novice. There are plenty of links out there if you Google "candle magick" that can tell you how to do it. It's too much for me to get into here.
But, in a really abbreviated nutshell, you will be programming a candle with your intentions, and then burning that candle on top of your list - this will help spread the energy of your intention out into the aether. You may want to repeat this candle burning every day for a week, or once a week (Fridays are good for love as they are Venus' day) for a month, or once a month until it manifests. You could also choose to make a charm bag filled with love-drawing herbs to keep on your person during this "hunt"; including a copy of your list in the pouch will help keep the intention clear. Wear a love-oil that you have charged with your intention can also help remind you of your work, but also help drawn potential partners to you. There are MANY ways you could go about a spell like that.
#3 - Get out there!!! You have to help magick from the physical plane. You can't perform magick to help you win the lottery and then never buy a ticket! So, you'll need to get out in the world and remain open to new experiences and meeting new people. Go to some new events, take some personal development classes (like cooking, or dancing), start frequenting museums that you enjoy, etc. Give the Universe a chance to bump you into that special someone.
Be aware that "perfect partner" magick usually take a little while to manifest. 8-18 months is the going average from all the people I know who have done this kind of work.
If you are interested in learning this kind of magick, may I suggest "Positive Magic" by Marion Weinstein as a truely excellent introduction to the subject in a non-denominational context. (I also run an online school for spiritual arts in which you could learn meditation and visualization, as well as a primer in candle magick - along with many other courses that are offered on various topics. If interested you can contact me directly.)

The short answer is: no -- there's no such thing as "soul mates". There are a thousand people you could marry and be happy with. And considering that divorce rates are roughly the same for both arranged marriages and marriages of choice, the kind of person YOU are when you enter into the relationship would seem to be the biggest factor in the success of that relationship.
Strive to be the best person you can be, and love will find you.

Yes and no. If you mean magic like turning people into toads, then no, such magic cannot find you a mate, soul or otherwise. If you mean magic that is just another form of prayer, then I think it is possible that it can help you find a mate, but magic/prayer alone won't do it, you need to make an effort too, that is part of the magic. IMO, deities help those who help themselves.

No. Casting spells will only drive you further into your delusional state. Try going outside for a while, interact with other human beings, get some fresh air. Magic isn't real, pretending you can get a soulmate that way will only make you cling to whatever dude gets your pants off first, likely to your broken heart.

I don't believe in magic. But I continued to pray to God, and He brought my soulmate and me together (all the way from 2,000 miles apart). And we've been married over nine years...and counting!

"Spells" and ritual are powerful only in that they direct your focus with a bit more concious intention . BE the person you are looking for, and your 'soul mate' will naturally be attracted to you.
