Yeah I believe in soulmates. To me a soulmate is someone who gets you like no-one else, who has almost the same personality and somehow knows how you're feeling without you even saying anything. I think everyone has that special soulmate out there somewhere, but they might be in a completely different country, might never meet them, might die without ever finding them.

I don't think there's only one person out there for people.
There's people who you can be very close to and are quite similar to you but it doesn't have to be in a romantic way

Yeah I believe best friends can be soul mates too, the way me and my bestie became friends was very much like fate tbh and our personalities are so similar it's almost scary

Love is...... pain sometimes. I lost 'the one' 5 years ago because it was never acknowledged so the chance went by. Circumstances (private) now dictate we'll never be together but we've acknowledged it now and strangely I feel at peace knowing he exists. Some love is that special.

Why are people so focussed on the word soul, soulmate is just a term to describe two people who get each other totally, it's got nothing to do with having a soul imo

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its a silly romantic word that means nowt

when you fall in love of course you think that the person is the only one for you etc

its your genes tricking you to procreate and pass them on

Essentially the thread really is

"do you think that when you fall in love you will think that you have met the perfect partner?"

and of course the answer is yes



and in some cases it works out like that but in the majority of cases it does not

[waterhog]

if you believe in soul mates - where have you been all my life - I am looking for you ?

[the truth]

yes in a funny kind of way I do. not just as lovers but as friends, some people connect almost instantly at a higher level. even great comic partners like laurel and hardy, Morecombe and wise, the 2 ronnies, or writing partners or directors and movie stars like bogey and bacall, spencer tracy and Katherine Hepburn, john ford and john wayne or scorseses and deniro...or mentor and apprenstice like mike tyson and cus damato...
they say deniro and Scorsese don't even need to speak to each other on set its a whole series of nods winks the odd grunt and hey presto another masterpiece....when a couple find love for life, that is magic. to me that consists of everything physical mental spiritual attraction, admiration, intrigue, mystery, lust, passion, compassion, teamwork, support, excitement, loyalty etc etc its a rare but wonderful thing I do believe in

Yeah if soul mates are real then they should be the dictionary definition.

Sometimes, I imagine the picture of one of them in the paper, if the other one unexpectedly died. Heartbreaking!

Ernie Wise was like that with Eric,and was never really the same once Eric had passed.

[Samuel.]

Guess it depends on the definition. If it's a feeling of deep love, sure. If it's about finding "the one" who you have some sort of spiritual connection with, definitely not.

Ultimately it's all brain chemical ****ery like any emotion and it's not as nearly as romantic as it fools you into thinking it is.

[DemolitionRed]

A 'soul mate' is our own personal metaphor regarding how we feel about a person.

I went to primary school with the woman who is still my closest friend. We've stuck with each other like a stamp to a letter for many years and I honestly couldn't imagine life without her.

My husband. Besides mutual love, we know how to make one another laugh; we never tire of each others company and I believe we have brought each other great happiness. I can't imagine life without him either.

my soul mate is the person/people I can turn to, no matter what and know they would absolutely want to help me and visa versa. Therefore, my dog is not my soul mate, my parents who would likely just tell me to pull myself together are not my soul mates and my children who wouldn't know what to do or say if I went to them with a serious problem, are not my soul mates either. That though, doesn't mean I don't have immense love for them...just a different sort of love.

No soulmates do not exist. It's merely a coincidence to find someone to which you have a lot in common. There's 7 billion people on the planet, you're bound to find someone who likes what you like.

7 billion ... so the chances of finding one you such an affinity with must be pretty remote then?

Coincidence. It's not destiny
