Well I believe in soul mates (I haven't mine if I have one) but I don't believe that everyone has a soulmate. Sometimes we deal with our issues and move on. Sometimes in previous life's we have known and loved and had affection for another and continue to make the journey of life together instead of walking the path alone.
What I'm saying is that yes it is possible but some need or are walking alone. |

yes yes yes! finally found the one i've been searching for after 21 years of looking...love you heyzeus!  |

Yes, I believe in soulmates. But I also believe that your soulmate is not necessarily the person that you want to marry. I have a dear, wonderful friend who could well have ended up as my wife, but though we were cut from the same cloth, I know that we would not have been happy in marriage. Odd, no? The woman I did end up marrying is someone whom I love equally, but differently. The thing I can say with certainty about my wife (as opposed to this soulmate) is that when I am old and gray, I will still appreciate her company; likely on a level I can't even begin to fathom, now. |

I believe in soulmates, but they aren't necessarily the people we are romantically involved with. Each of us doesn't only have just one, either. |

Yes, I believe that everybody has several soulmates. If I have found one (or more) of mine, then I don't know it yet. |

I think there is a soulmate out there for everyone and I have found mine. ASBT is everything that I am not and then some we complete eachother well. And complete eachothers sentences.  |

i don't believe in soulmates. most of the time i don't even believe in souls. I'm very happier with my SO, happier than I've ever been with anyone in the past. it's work sometimes though, and it would be for anyone. I think the whole idea of soulmates is rather damaging flim-flam that helps create very unreasonable expectations of relationships for people who accept it. |

No, I don't believe in that. Specially since I am considering the theory in recarnation. But even if not, I still wouldn't believe in them.
Why, because your postion on earth is totally random. YOU were born on a certain continent or a certain area and unless you move or your SO moves, they are allready not able to expand. Its about who you meet, its just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. |

Yes, I believe in soulmates, no I haven't found mine and no, I'm not currently looking for her. |

I don't believe in soulmates and I don't have an SO. |

Yes, I believe in soulmates. But not in the conventional sense. I believe that there is at least one person you can meet in your lifetime whose personality, thoughts and experience are finely tuned to have excellent compatibility with yours. But it's not always about falling in love with the person...it's possible for your grandma to be your soulmate. And upon finding yours, even if everything indicates right for the situation, it doesn't mean you want to be in a relationship with them. Some say that conflict is what heightens the spark  I think that's how I feel. I would rather remain a mysterious caleidoscope to a person I eventually meet and fall in love with. I've already found my soulmate, and I adore and admire him, but we weren't meant to be together. |

Yes, I believe in soulmates and I have found mine. I believe that everybody has a special soulmate that God picked just for them out there somewhere. It's just a matter of finding that person. |
| Zang | | posted 26-Jun-2002 4:49pm |
I certainly believe that it is possible for two people to feel that way about each other. I'm sure it must be quite wonderful. I'm swinging single right now. I wouldn't say that I'm actively searching for my soulmate, or even that I ever have. I tend to think that if it happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't. |

what's a soulmate? |
| dora | | posted 26-Jun-2002 5:37pm |
Yes.I do believe in soulmates.I haven't found mine yet.Maybe I never will.I guess that the majority of people won't.Yes,it's hard and terrible thinking that someone is out there for you and you won't reach him or her.It sucks,but it's yet another cruel joke life plays on you.But I think he's out there somewhere,and I guess that a bunch of lucky people actually met one,so why not I? |

I have found mine and I like to believe in soulmates but I think it has more to do with the personalities involved in the relationship. We grow with our relationship, we learn to accept the other and we learn to change ourselves. These sentiments must be mutual. If one does something that really makes the other unhappy (I don't mean petty things like keeping the toilet seat up etc...) and refuses to change - he or she cannot be a soulmate to the other. If a couple evolves together, their relationship can that of soulmates.
Sometimes I feel like I've been with Ben forever, he thinks that we've met before this life... I dunno but it sure feels like it sometimes. |

I do believe in soulmates, but I haven't found one yet. |

I believe that soulmates are possible, but would be very depressed if there was only one possible soulmate for each person.... |
| LuridHope | | posted 26-Jun-2002 7:26pm |
I wish I didn't... Life would be so much easier if I didn't actually believe she was out there somewhere. Right now though, I live in such isolation that I fall in love with every nice personality I come in contact with that's connected to pretty face. I've also been alone so long that I've forgotten point "B". I'm a great point "C"!
I've learned all my lessons and paid all my dues. I'm ready for a relationship, but I've quite forgotten how to knock and i can't tell a wall from a door.
It's terrible. |

Everyone is everyone else's soulmate, we are all connected. Too bad so many people are such morons. |
Galomorro  | | posted 26-Jun-2002 9:27pm |
I do believe there are such things as soulmates but I am not searching for any myself. I feel my sister found hers very early, and that she and her hubby would fit this descrip. |

No way. The myth of the "Right Person" causes problems in many relationships. |
| wolfchik9 | | posted 27-Jun-2002 2:57am |
I thought this would be a great topic for a survey. I hadn't seen one about this yet and thought I'd create my first survey. It's a wonderful thing when you meet someone, fall in love, and he/she tells you that you are his/her soulmate. I'm just glad that it happened to me. |
| wolfchik9 | | (reply to LindaH) posted 27-Jun-2002 3:00am |
Different people have different definitions of "soulmate." Some people believe they are the person who challenges you, praises you, and does everything in their power to make you the best person you can be. Other people think they are your true love. It really depends upon your definition of soulmate. |
| cuteasabutton | | posted 27-Jun-2002 2:52pm |
Yes. I do believe in them, and now I am getting all "vacklempft" |
| TylersMamma | | posted 28-Jun-2002 5:19pm |
I believe that everyone has a match... If you make a connection with him/her is up to you. I believe that some people are to blind to see when there is a wonderful person right in front of them. |

What topic should we discuss amongst ourselves Linda? |
| ASexyBabesToy | | posted 29-Jun-2002 10:06am |
ASB is my soulmate. |
| SueBee | | posted 29-Jun-2002 5:29pm |
I don't think I really believe in soulmates, but I'm incredibly happy with my SO, and I often think we've spent past lifetimes together. Maybe that is just natural because I feel very close to her.
I agree with the people who said that the concept of soulmates can cause people more problems than good in a relationship. In fact, discarding the idea of soulmates and thinking that I couldn't live without mandy has actually strengthened our relationship. Before that I was smothering the poor dear. |
bill  | | posted 30-Jun-2002 8:16am |
I don't believe in them, but I have one.
Seriously, I really don't know. I'd need to do more experimentation to be sure, yet I'd be a fool to do so. This is my life we're talking about!
I think that I'm a fairly adaptable and accommodating person and that I could likely be very happily mated to any of a great number of people. But, I also have this eerie sense sometimes, with my wife Jen, that we're very deeply connected and very well suited for each other.
Hm... I guess I'm assuming that the concept of "soulmate" implies that there is only one person for each of us out there. Are other people assuming that too? If not, what does "soulmate" imply? |
| mandy | | (reply to bill) posted 30-Jun-2002 2:22pm |
I think that is the assumption. One, just one.
I think that is very sad and destructive idea and puts pressure on people when they haven't connected deeply with anyone in that way. I think we're really meant to connect with everyone who comes close to us and gives us that, "Man, I feel like I've know you forever..." feeling and that isn't always in a romantic or sexual "soulmate" way. I think it is an important part of our experience here on this dirty stinking rock. |
| cuteasabutton |
 You got it Um.. the ramifications of a post-Nazi era on those of German decent living in America. Yeah- that's it |
| mikehunt696 |
Okay |
| NthenSome |
I do believe in them.
I hope everyone believe in them in some form. They're the souls that will affect change in you, to be the closest to what you know you can be in life.
No one could effectively debate this with me. I've got living proof with me and I'm told I'm the same. |
