I don't know if I really believe in the whole "soul mate" thing, but I do believe that God will bring you what your heart wants

I don't believe in the traditional definition of a "soul mate," but i do believe, to a certain extent, that there are several people who only have one person that matches their image of a soul mate. i also believe there are people who can have several different significant others because they're either extremely open to all traits of a person, or just not that picky.
I'm the type of person who can't stand a lot of people's personalities, so i think that there are only a few people i could bear to share my life with.

Im with you, I dont believe in soulmates either, on a personal note its because I've been burned just like most of us, and on a logical note its just a numbers game. There are over 6 billion people in the world, its about finding the one that makes you care less about the rest of them. Its about KNOWING that there are millions if not billions of people out there you may be compatible with, knowing that there are endless possibilities of mates, but not caring even a slightly, because youve found the one that makes you complete, your other half...so i guess by answering your question Ive confused myself...is there soulmates?? If I dont find one, then I will remain a non-believer, but if I do find that one, well hell, I'll jump on the bandwagon and ride....

Josh,
I believe in 'soul mates' because I have found mine!
I'm willing to bet you are quite a bit younger than me. So, don't worry that you haven't found the right one yet. It took me over 40 years.
When you meet someone that you just absolutely, positively can not live without, you'll know it.
When you look into someones eyes and see - really see - their soul, you will know it.
When the though of spending your life without this person is too awful to bear, you'll know it.
In the meantime, date the people who interest you and those that you have things in common with.
When the time is right, you won't be able to help meeting the right person.
Good Luck

I so believe in soul mates! Haven't you ever met someone you just clicked with ... not necessarily in a sexual way or even someone of the opposite sex. Someone who is easy to talk to right off the bat, or someone you feel like you have known for a long time? I believe those are soul mates, and the can be different levels of soul mates.

No, I firmly believe it is rubbish. I know many, many lovely women and men who have not got anyone in their lives, and precious little hope of finding anyone. There is definitely not "someone for everyone" out there, that is romantic twaddle. The soul mate myth is twaddle too - you do meet a few (very few) couples who seem to hit it off ok, but even they have their differences, and the success of their partnership mainly depends upon their willingness to accept these differences. Frankly, I live alone now and much prefer it that way.

This is something I have noticed about Anglo-American romantic culture. In Hindu culture, the soul mate doesn't have to be a lover or a significant other; it can be a friend, a family member, even a teacher or coworker. I like to think that love plays a part in soul-mating though.

Soul mate is part of the infatuation stage, in time you learn everyone has differences that you'll have to come to grips with. I have had a relationship where the soulmate question came up, we seemed perfect for eachother, happiness to the hilt, but then things happened and we didnt work out, in retrospect, the soulmate emotion was false.

Its absolutely ridiculous and like you say, it can lead to people being too perfectionist waiting for the 'one'.
In reality, a person is probably compatible with about 20% of members of the opposite sex. If not more.
Look at Indias arranged marriages for example. They don't go out looking at all, they are assigned a partner, and divorce rates are quite low.
