Do you believe in soulmates...

[Ammi]

..this may have been done before but following on from the sexuality thread...

...do you think that everyone has a 'soulmate', that 'one person' or do you think there are several people who you could find lifetime happiness with....?..

..do you think relationships are meant to last forever anyway..?...

[arista]

Yes but
its a lucky Dip that you connect


thats why its Rare
honey

[Novo]

i'd say for most people there is always that one person that they meet ( probably in high school or college ) and you can never really love anyone else more then they love that person but someone else comes along and you just move on with life so yes i think everyone in a way has a Soulmate but they rarely end up with each other

[mizzy25]

a soulmate doesnt neccasarily have to be your partner (imo) it can be a best freind, someone whose on your wavelength etc

[thesheriff443]

more chance of getting a cell mate!

I like to believe that they do, yeah. I don't necessarily think that they're rare, but more the fact that you might pass that person by in life without realising it.

[Ninastar]

Yes but I think it's really rare

..don't you think that's more a 'first love' though..the fisrt time you love is often the deepest but they're not necessarily your 'soulmate'...

[Ammi]

Yes but I think it's really rare

..yeah, I agree with that..I don't know in terms of percentages but I think more people don't find their soulmate than do...

[Jesus.]

No.

It's a bizarre concept that we view through our own situations.

[Ammi]

LOL JHC..Tim Minchin is your guru..agree to an extent that you would have someone else but maybe they wouldn't complete you as much as your soulmate..?....

[Jesus.]

But you would never know that someone else is your soulmate, so you'd be really happy with the person you ended up with and you'd ultimately end up feeling as though they were your soulmate.

Different people do different things to us, and stir different emotions.

[Munchkins]

My mum started dating my dad at 17, and they are still together, so i guess they could be viewed as soulmates
i don't believe in it though

[Samuel.]

No. There's no logic to it.

Not a fan of Tim Minchin, but that song sums it up.

Live long and prosper, Arista.

[Firewire]

Yes and you have more than one soulmate.

[Marcus.]

yes i do belive in solemates

[Stu]

I believe in soulmates. There are definitely people out there who are perfect for you but it's all plural language. No way is there just one. Although I used to believe that I had to separate myself from my emotions and rationalize the slightly less Hollywood truth of the matter.

[Niamh.]

No I don't. I think there are people in the world who you are more compatible with it and are more attracted to but soul mates? Nah............you'd have to believe in a soul first and I don't.

[Redway]

No, not really. Even if it does exist, it would only really happen in an incredibly limited amount of circumstances and given the amount of people who just claim to have found their "soulmate", it just doesn't apply.

[Stu]

If you did believe in one perfect soulmate I don't think the "what are the odds they've come to you and are in the same country as you?" thing would be much of a stumbling block so I don't tend to make those arguments.

They're your soulmate after all. Everything is meant to be perfect with them. That would include the fact that you will have ended up running into them. A predestined soulmate is no good sitting on their arse in Minsk.

[Niamh.]

No, not really. Even if it does exist, it would only really happen in an incredibly limited amount of circumstances and given the amount of people who just claim to have found their "soulmate", it just doesn't apply.

Yeah exactly, I always feel like people who say they do, are thinking that your relationship isn't as good as theirs if you don't think there's such a thing as soul mates :laugh: When really I'm not belittling my relationship with my husband at all, I couldn't imagine anyone in the world who could make me happier or suits me more. I felt like I needed to clarify that lol

[Kizzy]

I will have to say yes... When you meet someone and you just 'connect' with them, not a sexual thing anyone of either gender, you never forget that person if you chose different paths.
They are the ones that pop into your mind at quiet times.

[joeysteele]

Yes I believe you can find a soulmate, whether it's a partner or really close friend even.

[Ramsay]

Aye, there are many out there. i hate the whole ''one'' ****

[arista]

Do you know what that tells me
you need to Travel More with your Family.

[Niamh.]

lol why?

[Jessica.]

Yes 100%! :lovedup:

[arista]

Because some stay in one place

I have been in many places

How do you know I haven't travelled? :suspect: I lived in America and London before I settled down and had a family. And I've been to alot of different countries on holiday.

I don't believe in soul mates because I don't believe we have a soul

OK
You have no Faith in a Soul Mate.

I'd never have picked you out as a soul man Arista :pipe:

[Jesus.]

Arista is my soulmate. The ying to my yang.

Sometimes
We just need to Boogie

[Z]

Sure, but it doesn't have to be quite so dramatic as 'the one out there for me' as others have said. I think it's just a romanticised way of describing how some people are more right for each other than others. If you get along with someone, find them funny, attractive, interesting - then who's to say you can't call them your soul mate? You clearly connect on more than one level.

[Mystic Mock]

I believe there's a potential 4 or 5 people you could fall in love with, and depending on your actions you will end up with one of them eventually.

Well what you just said reminds me more of a serial rapist, or both if they kill them at the end.:joker:

[smeagol]

mine must be on planet blob
how many women in the world. im still lookin for a decent honest one never mind a soul mate lol

no such thing

[King Gizzard]

Having witnessed and separation first hand not really. it's just the luck and coincidence more than a soul mate

[the truth]

yes most definitely. But trying to define it is hard. Id guess its a person youre so comfortable with you dont even need to speak. or in the case of old married couples who finish each others sentences.

[the truth]

Its most lilely we do come across potential soul mates more often than we think, but in the hustle and bustle of the rat race we dont pause long enough to nurture these relationships

[flamingGalah!]

Yes. I had a few relationships in the past, the longest lasted 2 years, & even though I did love them I didn't think of them as being 'the one' or my soulmate. Then I met my partner. We met while working at the same company & this year we will have been together for 12 years. We have barely spent a day apart in all that time & are as much in love (if not more) than when we first started dating. We have so much in common & I cannot imagine being without him... I think you just know when you have met that special someone... :)
