I think that's the thing, really. There are several different meanings published by many different sources. But I think that you know when you have found them. You get that glow, that butterfly feeling that never goes away, like the elastic band that binds you together is shortening the closer that you get.

I know this is pretty spiritual **** but I do believe in the whole elastic band theory, which is why long distance relationships never work and you get that gutting feeling when you haven't seen them in a long time - as if the elastic band is breaking.

But what you just decribed there is being in love

I've never been "in love", so I wouldn't know. I just think that with soulmates it's an entirely different level of feeling to that of love. It's so much more than that. It's not just love.

I'm not "romanticising" it (which doesn't really make sense as love is romance), I'm just imagining what it's like because I've never felt it before.

Love is romance? I wouldn't say so, you can love someone without being romantic

Love is romance?

I love my parents but I wouldn't call it romantic love.

..and so do guys as well, it has nothing to do with what gender you are, just that you may be a 'romantic' person....

Its transcendant. Being in love is totally different to just loving someone.

Yes. Quite a wide difference, too.

that is just falling in love and that has been genetically imprinted through natural selection and time in order for children to be born and genes to be passed on

.....hmmm, I would say that's a physical attraction and a sexual chemistry though, that might not develop into anything deeper beyond that in the long term to make a 'soul mate' or a long lasting relationship...we could feel similar things with a crush, I guess..

[Ammi]

..I do believe, as others have said...that it's a complete compatibility between two people and yeah, not everyone finds that...some people though, find it more than once in their lives...I believe in 'sliding doors' and if a different connection in life was taken and that if that meant that you never met your life partner/had no knowledge of them existing...then you could find that same complete compatibility with someone else and then they would have been your 'soul mate'...

Hmmm that's just early-stage love stuff though? As you get properly into the guts of loving someone it's not that simple. I do still sometimes get butterflies randomly with my wife but it's not a constant feeling... how would someone live like that?

Anyway, yeah, I also think that's being "in love" and not necessarily the same thing as a "soul-mate". I consider me and my wife to be both and feel lucky to have that. I do know couples who are very very much in love who I wouldn't think are "soul mates" at all.
