But you met this person on an online religion and spirituality question and answer website?
I know it sounds ridiculous. But what if it's meant to be and this is just how we met? Am I just screwed?Will she laugh at me if I say anything?
It's not as creepy as it sounds, this person is my friend. Its not like I'm a stranger stalking her. We've both been coming here for a long time. What would you do if you were me?
Something like this does not come around every day.

Email this person with how you feel, but be aware that they may not reciprocate your feelings.
You may wind up finding out that the person is already in a stable relationship and has no interest in you other than as a friend. Ask yourself if you are prepared for this possibility BEFORE you email them. If you are prepared for this or even the possiblity that they will not be interested in you at all, then I would say, send a trial email. ONLY BE PREPARED TO NOT CONTINUE EMAILING THEM IF THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED.....

Very good friends who are compatible with you are hard to come by; compatible girlfriends/boyfriends are a bit more so; compatible marriage partners are even more difficult to find. HOWEVER, a "soulmate" is the most rare thing of all. If you ask many married people whether their spouse is TRULY their soulmate, many (if they're being brutally honest) will tell you no. How sad is that? So you have been presented with a very unique opportunity.
Think of it this way: if you were out taking a walk one day, would you keep going if you glanced down and saw a diamond that, with a little effort, could be yours? Such is the case here.
EDIT: (((((((Neutral Christ))))))) Happy Saturday to you.

If I give you an HONEST answer, will you hear it? So many ask questions and then don't heed the answeres staring them in the face...
If you are attracted to someone online, build the friendship first - exchange emails, chat, whatever and really take the time to build the friendship. Once you are comfortable, TELL her that you feel a deeper connection...see where she's at.... Then, explore the possibility of meeting in person and go from there.... you never know what will happen but I strongly DISCOURAGE doing anything other than fostering the friendship outside of R&S...

You'll never know if you don't try, will you? Go for it. Love works in mysterious ways and sometimes pops out at you in the least likely of places. Just don't come on too strong at first or you'll scare her off, ease into it, suggest you both have a lot in common and you think it might be fun to meet in person and get to know more about each other and see what happens. Online is no place to spill your heart out romantically. Save that for face to face. If you feel it, then that means something's there to be felt. Charge!!!

"You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."
Maybe it is a matter of semantics, but when I use the phrase "soul mate" I am referring to someone who already knows how I feel and feels the same.
I you have not talked to them about it then you are "in crush" with them.
It sounds like you have a very strong attraction to someone that you know about but do not know very much about. That could definitely grow into something if they are interested in you too, but it is not anything more than a crush right now.
PS: I am not a big fan of the term "soul mate" because it give the false impression that there is only one person out there for us when actually there are many.

If this is your friend, how much do you know about this person? Many people are our soul mates and they only are in our lives for a very short time.....love them as long as you can but don't touch unless you ask. I'm sure we think there's only ONE but that's not quite true...for all of us. Tell the person how you feel and be ready for any answer.....quit thinking about it. Life is short!!!

Just talk to her, for goodness sake! If she's your friend, the worst thing that will happen is that she'll let you down easy, you'll feel a little awkward for a bit, then you'll get over it and continue on.

The fact that there is a question here, might be your answer, usually when were not sure of something and "ask" ourselves about it, especially reguarding our "faith status", it is usually something if we look further into the "word", we ough not to do.

What would you do if you finally met her in person and it turns out she's really an old man with really bad toe fungus?

If you ask, you will get an answer
If you knock it could be opened,
seek and you will find...
You cannot find the answer without asking.
and life (on earth) is too short to hesitate.
so be nice, be honest --but ask that big question!!!!
hug.
