Really? Nope. In your head I'm sure it can seem to exist though.

If you mean: Does the Creator arrange the universe so that there are sets of two specific humans that uniquely complete each other in some kind of magical, perfect union? I seriously doubt it. I do believe that there are many life-long marriages that essentially satisfy the general underatanding of the "soul mate" concept - but I believe these relationships exist because the partners work at it and choose to submit and defer to each other to make the marriage work - it isn't just easy wonderful perfection without effort. I also recognize that there are many life-long friendships (best friends, siblings, etc.) that have similar characteristics, but I don't know if this is what you had in mind. Lifelong friendships also depend on effort and forgiveness to succeed. I also believe that even "soul mates," if they give in to selfishness, pettiness and the like, can ruin and destroy what could have been life-long joy. The Bible teaches that we are all sinners - we all make mistakes and we all intentionally do things that hurt relationships. The key to life-long, satisfying, committed relationships is life-long commitment to make the relationship work even when that requires "sacrifices" on both sides.

Depends on your definition of Soul. An adequate definition would go something like - an animating, separable, surviving entity, the vehicle of individual personal existence. So we have to believe in life after death before we can say yes, and even then we must look at what does survive death. On another level, Soul mates do exist, they are the people who cannot bear to be separated from their mate, when together time may not matter for in each other, there is a completeness when together. These are intense life altering experiences, the pain of death or seperation can lead to the need to see that individual again even though its impossible by reality, hence "soul mates" was born. Personally, I think one can have a soul mate, but I don't think it will be forever, individuality must come to an end eventually.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulmate Soulmate (or soul mate) is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a subjective, emotional feeling of deep affinity, friendship, love, strong intimacy or compatibility. The term makes reference to the scientifically unproven concept of the soul and carries certain New Age overtones. There is a prevalent concept in some segments of the New Age movement that some souls are literally made and/or fated to be the mates of each other, or to play certain other important roles in each others' lives. A related concept is that of the twin flame or twin soul - thought to be the ultimate soulmate, the one and only other half of one's soul, which all souls are driven to find and unite with. (END wikipedia article excerpt) This passage articulates, quite well, my own thoughts on whether or not soul mates exist. I believe that soul mates can exist per the first paragraph. However, I do not believe (see paragraphs 2 and 3) in fated soul mates or the concept that soulmates are driven and destined to unite with each other. Speaking from personal experience, I had a friend once who had the uncanny ability to know exactly what I was thinking and we often communicated well without a lot of talk. We just seemed to "know" each other and were content to just enjoy each others company. This was not somebody who simply knew me well because we had been friends for a long time. We drifted in and out of each others lives regularly for about 7 years sometimes with a year or more between each meeting, but that connectedness was always there. One time I hadn't seen him for almost 2 years and was wondering about him to myself and an hour later he called out of the blue. I wish I could explain it better, but I am at a loss. I also had a boyfriend that was so perfect for me that we seemed fated to be together. We were a perfect fit for each other. He could finish my sentences and I his. But, no matter how perfect the fit was, life got in the way and we ultimately split up. Not before or since had/have either of us found a person that defined "soulmate" for either of us. But, soulmate does not necessarily equate to 2 people absolutely, positively being "meant" for each other. In both cases, there was a very strong feeling of being connected that existed on both sides. I think that soulmates can and do exist, but not in a hocus pocus mystical sort of way. Sorry I couldn't explain it better. The question is subjective and everybodys definition of soumate varies to complicate matters. . .hope this helps.

In order to make two people soul mates, they have to share similar personalites and life experiences, leading to a similar outlook on life. Shared experiences alone will not do it: brothers and sisters usually have many shared experiences -- same parents, same upbringing, same religion, same city or community, same world and national events happening, etc -- but due to different personalities or age differences, they can turn out to be vastly different people. Likewise people with similar personalities can have vastly different life experiences that also lead them to be very different people. To find your soul mate, look in places where people gather together because they all share a common outlook on life that is similar to yours -- a church, political party, special interest group, professional organization, etc. -- then look for someone who you are attracted to and who shares your personality.

Relationships are like puzzles but with one distinct difference.... Instead of just one piece fitting, there are many that will fit. Go and find just one out of this many and you will find your "soul-mate".

My definition of "Soul Mate" would be a kindred spirit. A Soul Mate doesn't have to be a "love relationship" or have much in common with you. They're someone who understands you and you understand them. My best friend, though our lives are different, is kindred spirit. We can talk for hours and always understanding and respect where the other person is coming from. We don't even see each other that much because of distance, but we call and email each other often. If I can find this with a guy someday - that would be great, but men are different from women. I find many don't look to form that "bond" with a woman, which is why women should always have woman friends.

Yes i do believe in soul mates. It's really a special thing when you know what is your partners moods and what can you do to make it better. I believe that person is the true one you should marry but never loose sight of your intuition, it's one of the greatest gifts!

This is a channeled message from the 72 Angels of the Tree of Life and we want people to know that soul mates do exist and we will explain. There are several meanings to this concept of soul mate and one is the person who you feel most comfortable around in your lifetime. It is possible to have more than one soul mate because there is more than one soul in each ones soul family. This brings us to the second meaning of this concept and that is that each person on earth is a physical body with a soul and when that physical body dies the soul passes out and continues on its journey to reunite with the energy of God Most High of the Universe. The soul is grouped into families of souls that continue their journey together and meet each other in the physical form when the soul incarnates in the physical body. When two souls from the same soul family meet in the physical there is usually a great attraction between them. The physical incarnations of the soul can be of the same gender or not and it does not mean there will be a love relationship but there will be a great feeling of familiarity as if the two people knew each other from another time. There people are soul mates and feel very comfortable in each others presence. When soul mates meet in the physical world they feel a need to be together because they really are part of the same energy bodies. When the soul passes over to the other side it discovers many souls who were together with it in previous lifetimes and these were also soul mates. As the veil lifts and people become more aware of who they really are they will understand the concept of souls and soul mates. This is a channeled message from the Angels of the Tree of Life by Carol in Israel.

I believe in two people destined to be together. If that's what you mean by soul mates. Of course no one can predict who you end up except God.

I'm sure Alanis Morisette would want to know, as that is all she really wants. This is such a subjective question that there really is no definite answer. In western terms, a soulmate was originally based on Plato's definition, being the "other half" that would make one's self complete. This completion could be mentally, spiritually, or erotically. Given Greek philosophy's strong leanings towards aesthetic ideals, this "soul mate" seemed less romantic and more intellectual. Over the last millenia, as the medieval concept of romantic courtship intermingled with resurrected concepts from the Renaissance, the soulmate has taken on a more romantic concept than its use in ancient Greece. Eastern philosophy doesn't have an equivalent to this. The closest could be the general dualism one finds in things like Taoism. Given the general philosophy of collectivism and duty in these civilizations, the existence of a "soul-mate" would be interepreted as one who balances out another person. The difference between the western definition is that the Eastern's "other half" does not provide any completion for either person, but is rather a natural opposite to a person that maintains harmonious order in the universe. If one's personal worldview requires a significant other that makes one feel "complete", suggesting the existence of a romantic element.....then yes, soulmates exist.

I think so.

I believe that they do, and I am engaged to mine. I had been with a guy for 20 long years. We had pretty much nothing in common, he was abusive to me and others, lied and cheated, used me for whatever he could, etc. He said he loved me and didn't want to lose me (of course not, I was bringing in the money while he used it on women and drugs), but yet he treated me like crap. After I left and divorced him, I met someone else. My fiance is the total opposite of my ex. He treats me with the love, kindness, and respect that everyone deserves. He treats me like a goddess and has me on a pedestal. He will do pretty much anything for me. We have almost everything in common, and what we don't have in common compliments the relationship and makes it interesting. I believe with all my heart that he is my one true love, my soul mate. I believe that to be soul mates, you need much in common, lots of love, honesty, respect, kindness, etc. And most of all, you need great communication on both sides. I believe that those who don't believe in soul mates haven't found theirs yet, but that's just my opinion.

True soul mates are rare, but they do exist. couples married for 30, 40, 50+ years, are prime examples. Todays couples do not seem to want to stay together. its todays permissive society. My wife and i have been married 40 years. everyday is different, because we care and we want it that way.

yes, but the real question is where to find one.

Yes. Soulmates do exist. And if you find yours, you'll just know. It's an inherent feeling of familiarity you'd feel. As if you've known them forever. :)

Twin flame? no .. but I do believe two people can connect on a level higher than a connection with others.. I also believe in any relationship it will be a continuous work in progress irregardless of the connection as we are each individuals.. unique from each other.

Yes I believe they do. I was lucky enough to have one

yeah i think so

There are people near perfect for each other but other than that not really.

No :)

There are times when people are lucky to find a kindred spirit, someone that complements them very much and think almost alike on things that matter the most. So yes, you can say I do.

Yes!

I believe people find partners or spouses that compliment each others compatibility.

No i don't

Absolutely.

In a literal sense? No. The notion that two clumpings of molecules together have an innate attraction/correction to be together is ludicrious. What level does this 'imprint' itself? On a quantum level? Then hydrogen atoms would have soul mates, and more importantly, we'd have another quantum number and it would be a measureable result. If not here, then where? At what point of scaling up molecules do we suddenly imprint the notion of a soul mate? 50 atoms? 100? In a literal sense, the soul mate idea is completely stupid. What if the world's population has more men then women, to the degree that even accounting for homosexuality will not make up the difference? I can almost see an argument pro-paedophilia coming from that. I believe that alot of people are compatiable with you, some more so than others, but as a general rule of thumb two 'good people' who meet in the right circumstances and at the right point in life will probably end up very good friends, or if they take the chance, married.

No, but I believe in play mates.

Absolutely..but I do not believe there is just one..you can have a child who is a soulmate..you can have friends who are soulmates..you can have a romantic love(s) as soulmates..:)

Maybe I would if I believed in a soul. But certainly not in a literal sense. It is just another nice romantic fantasy that two people are so close and so in love and in tune with each other, that they become one at the 'soul.' Nice thought.

I do...and for many reasons.

I used to. I stopped looking for my "soul-mate" and vowed to unconditionally love whoever came into my life. It worked.

I believe it is possible to love more than one person so deeply that you feel like you have known that person for like forever not at the same time of course but it can happen.I believe my ex wife was my soulmate too bad she didn't believe I was hers. The there is the swet beautiful kid caring woman I met 5 years ago in a training class for a new job we were both starting. We instantly became best of friends and it was about a year before we took that friendship to the next level. I never knew it was possible to love someone so deeply and intently the way I loved her and she loved me. We were engaged to be married and would have been celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary in a few weeks were it not for her untimely passing almost 3 years ago. So in short yeas I believe it is possible to have more than one soulmate in this lifetime.

I think so, I have met people over the years who are so like me in the way that they think and feel about things that I it was almost as if we had the same soul! But that isn't a good thing, a happy relationship needs diversity...I guess what I'm trying to say is that opposites attract :o)

yeah I believe in soul mates ...I found mine she makes me complete and she say's I do the same for her but I think that you only ever have one soul mate in life ...some are so lucky to find there's and its sad that some never find one

You know... thats a good question... I dont really know the definition of a soul-mate. My defintion would be one that I can you connect with via the soul... i guess.. i dont think theres a ever a persont hat you will like be eye to eye with on everything...i dont know... i'd like to think so... I met someone i felt was like my soul-mate because i felt like we were that much alike and connected but we often clash because we have conflicting views and maybe similar ways......i just dont know... but + for the thought.

Yes -- we have more than one soul-mate in our lifetime -- we are not birds, that mate for life -- but incidently, you know what the science documentaries don't tell you? When a bird loses a "lifelong mate", he or she might find a new mate within hours!!!!!!!! Soul mates are lined up waiting to meet us -- a relationship takes it's natural course -- when it's over, it's crazy to remain unhappy by forcing to stay alive, because the next one will surely brighten your life.

I don't think (no matter how much people believe) that most even come close to having a true soulmate in their lifetime. They exist though, yeah (out of the billions of people).

if u could prove sould i would prove soul mates to u!!! i beg u to answer logically and avoid imaginations.

The myth of soul mates was invented by Aristophanes under a challenge issued by Plato to explain the human phenomenon of love. Aristophanes said that the gods must have feared humans, and what they might be capable of, so Zeus split each soul into two parts and sent humans to wander the earth, forever searching for their missing half, thus, distracting them from taking over or accomplishing anything threatening to the gods. They'd be too concerned with finding love. So, no, soul mates don't exist. But true love does.

I believe firmly that they are out there. Not everyone finds theirs, though. I've been fortunate enough to find mine...unfortunately, though...I can't be with her. Keep looking, and don't give up.

Umm..yes i think i do. but i dont believe everyone has a soul mate..it depends if your that sort of person or not. And if you met them..and there your soul mate..how WOULDNT you know that you are. It can only be described as blissfull

I do, rawr is the one!

I do believe in soulmate. But I also believe that there are many soulmates in the world for one person. You always end up with one person, you know every their breath and move, what they'll say etc...So it is never like in the beggining. Respect, friendship and constant need for improvement in relationship keep people together. There is always somebody more interesting in the world. But who cares if you love somebody??? THAT'S soulmate.

oh yes I do believe...and I have found mine and she hers ....we make each other complete in everyway

Many people

I believe that there are many people you are compatible with but there's only one true soul mate.

I believe people believe in soul mates simply because they want to believe it. Honestly though, I think it's just a spur-of-the-moment feeling.

I think we should be expanding in our life everyday, this causes people to lose interest in each other if they have grown in different areas. Then the things you once loved about someone can vastly change. Thus....... new soul mate. How many... would be determined by each individual as they change.

I'm afraid the 'soul mate' idea is a dangerous myth. Some people get so caught up in it, they think any little disagreement is a sign they married the wrong person. It is best to stop being concerned with soul mates and be more concerned with strengthening the bonds of love that brought a couple together in the first place. That can sometimes take work.

i dunno' i'd like to think there is one person out there that is perfect for me... (the hopless romantic in me)

It's all about compatibility. And, yes! There are plenty of people out there with whom one can be compatible.

I believe there is one, true soul-mate for every person, and I believe that you absolutely know it when you fall in love with that person. But, I believe that the majority of people meet their soul-mate, and for whatever reason, of many, (lost phone number, ill the night of 1st date, someone conspiring to keep you apart, nerves, etc.), fall in love with someone else and still live rich, very rewarding lives.

I used to think that there was only one person meant for us......I truly in my heart of hearts know my late fiance was the great passionate love of my life. That was my big love story. When he died 6 years ago in a car accident, I was determined to live the rest of my life alone, even though I was only 23. However, it must be said that as the years have gone by, I've started to think that maybe we can have different loves at different points in our lives. The person I am today is not the same person I was 6 years ago. Finding someone else would never diminish the love I have for M. I like to think that if we had gotten married, our love would have grown and changed as we growed and changed together. But sometimes people grow separately, too, and they find different loves. So do I believe in soul mates? Yes, but I also believe that life can throw you a vicious curveball and sometimes you have to completely start over. Someday I'll hopefully find someone new, and maybe have a family. I will never ever ever forget M, and he remains a constant memory and thought; there isn't a day that goes by that he isn't a part of somehow, but I have to move on and live my life. he would want me to be happy. And any new "soul mate" would be a "soul mate" with the person I am today, not the person I was with M.

I don't believe we are made for anyone. We just find people we like and that's that. Some people we get attached to, but it has nothing to with souls.

i dont think that one person is meant for another. I believe you can find many people that you may connect with and fall in love with. It also has to do with the right time and place in ones life. Dont get me wrong I do think that some people find someone they are completely compatible with and spend forever being happy together...GOOD FOR THEM, i just dont know how often that really happens.

I lost my twin flame soulmate to breast cancer last year. Love at first sight grossly understates the powerful and instant connection we both felt. That very day we fell in love we both professed that we were meant to be together. We had no choice but to be together always. We divorced our spouses of happy marriages and raised a blended family of our children of the past marriages. We were sad and lost whenever we were apart. We missed each other every work day. We chose not to socialize with others and share our time together. Instead, we spent every possible moment together. Our ocassional fights were intense and always about ridiculous circumstances. We never held a grudge, never retained any negative feelings, never ever would even consider withholding anything from the other..ever. We told each other daily that our souls were intertwined and that our hearts beat as one. We constantly told each other that we were destined to be together through eternity. During an ocassional business trip of mine, we would speak 5-6 times each day until I returned. Every morning, we would wake up with a powerful electrical charge of energy between us. The love never, ever wained, even for a few hours. We were constantly in a state of euphoria and willing to tackle any challenge we confronted, because we were together. i could go on and on. I am not capable of exaggerating our relationship. We truly felt we were one. In fact, our kids created a name that symbolized the two of us together as one. Others were intimidated by our total and constant intimacy and no one understood why a couple would always choose to avoid social interaction and instead chose to do everything together. We finished each other's sentences constantly, ordered the same food at restaurants, enjoyed the same music, tv shows. Only our kids would be able ;to believe the totality of our commitment and love. Even breast cancer did not get us down. We fought it together. I had never heard of the term twin-flame soumate until months after she passed. I looked up definitions of soulmates and realized that they were totally insufficient in describing our relationship. When I discovered some internet definitions of twin-flame soulmate, I almost freaked out. They were the absolute accurate descriptions of "us." I am now a ship at sea, lost, without a compass and without the physical presence of my twin-flame. I will go on because we were always totally convinced that our love would survive physical death, even though I wasn't overly spiritual at the time. We were positive about this. We will be together again when I cross over to be with her some day in the future. To put things into perspective, everything written above is absolutely true and accurate AND it existed EVERY day of our TWENTY-ONE YEAR relationship.

I believe in love but not soul mates.

yes I believe in soulmates but I don't believe we should try to make or think our significant others are our soulmates because we have alot in common. Soulmates are people who truly love each other with the highest respect and cannot see themselves without this person and unselfessly puts their partners well being and happiness first nomatter what I don't think soulmates have this love hate relationship so many people have today they keep it real and hinest always with understanding just because

The only mates I believe in are "sole" mates, and that is a pair of shoes.

I believe that for every person, there are a number of people who could become a soul mate. Finding even one of them in your lifetime is a blessing.

Let me give you all a serious warning. Twin Flames do indeed exist. I know because I'm living it. Me and my Twin have a dangerous relationship. We have seriously severe BAD KARMA between us. If Twin flames have Seriously severe BAD KARMA such as Murder or BAD KARMA such as Betrayal or Extreme Hatered between them from previous incarnations, You truely are in serious trouble. This can create murdurous intent between the two of you if this Bad Karma is not healed in that incarnation. Unfortunately my Twin and I have all three Bad Karmas. The most severe created in this incarnation. The answer in no. 1, are two Twin Flames that have GOOD KARMA between them. So your Twin and you may be doing lots of serious soul work. my Twin and I met in 1979 thru 1981. It ended very dangerously and painfully. I want to also caution you that once you have "bonded" with your Twin, you are bound forever. You feel what the other one feels even if you are continents away. It has been a living hell for me and my Twin. He came back into my life 28 years later.....to be forgiven. Until he realizes what he and I are to oneanother and get married and fix what happened, we can not ever be together. I caution all readers, you MUST KNOW what you are and where you are in your development before you call your Twin. By the way, Twin Flames do have similar physical resemblances. My Twin and I have exactly the same hands. We have similar shaped features. It is subtle but it is there none the less. That's how you physically tell if you are Twins. Good Luck and say your prayers.

No, I can't even stand when people tell you that they met theirs.

My right and left shoe are sole mates.

I believe they are out there

You gotta kiss a hell ova lot of frogs b4 u find the one =]

Yes! I do :-)

Never go searching for a soul mate, they will find you. As for knowing that they are the one. You just know. Its a hard concept 2 grasp. You feel the bond strong as steel. You just know.

Most definitely. And they usually come along when you least expect it.

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. I'd really like to. But what happens if my soul mate was in a car accident when he was ten, and died? Or if I walk past him in the street one day and don't realise? Does that mean I'm left with nobody? Then that starts me thinking about fate. I like the idea of fate. It makes life seem more structured. Less like a mass of random chance. Maybe random chance can be good though? Maybe soul mates don't really matter. And it's about finding somebody you can love, and working at it... I'd still like to believe it :)

Not at all -- there are a thousand people you could spend a lifetime with and be happy. Statistically, the divorce rates for arranged marriages are about the same as for people who pick their own partners -- who you are as a person and what you personally bring to the table are the biggest determinants of the success or failure of the relationship. If you want better relationships, be a better person...

I'm not sure. Would there be only one? If so, then what are the chances that my soul mate would ever meet? Out of all the people in the world, and all of the places...what if she lived on the other side of the planet. I would never find her. So I'm not sure. But if I find her I'll let you know.

http://www.scienceofsoulmates.com/ This site says some stuff about the one and only soulmate. I think they exist... read hope, sigh... :-)

http://www.scienceofsoulmates.com/ This site says some stuff about the one and only soulmate. I think they exist... read hope, sigh... :-)

i believe there are many people for us and many people for them. its just a matter of who we meet first.

Of course they exist. You will know when it happens to you. The thing with soulmate/twin flame is that it is spiritual. This person has a profound effect on you. It's a feeling like this person should be in your life. Soulmates can inflict great pain or great joy in you. The joy comes from being able to share a relationship with them. The pain comes from being apart from them or when they choose to not reciprocate your feelings. I have had this experience two times. The first encounter was very dissappointing and the second one was quite joyful. You can have more than one soulmate. When it comes to the soulmate/twin flame situation, you'll be really attracted to this person and drawn to them magnetically. Your feelings for them will naturally grow stronger and very intense. When you realize you have met a soulmate or twin flame, it can be a traumatic experience. This person will have such a profound effect on you that you can't shake off. Even being apart or separated from them can cause emptiness in your soul. I remember that I liked this guy a whole lot and he completely became emotionally withdrawn from me. Despite my attempts and efforts I realized that this guy had no desire or motivation to be with me. I spent many years dwelling on this and it has caused me heart-wrenching pain. I have suffered a great depression and anger because of this. The loneliness I feel sometimes is so horrible. When you meet a soulmate it can be for the better or worse. I don't wish this pain on anybody.

TWIN SOULS DO EXIST. i REALLY DIDN'T BELIVE THIS UNTILL I MOVED AND MEET MY NEIGHBOR. FROM THE MOMMENT WE MET, WE BOTH KNEW. WE GOT INVOLVED IN A RELATIONSHIP THAT WAS SO INTENSE, WE BOTH FREAKED OUT AND RAN FROM IT AND BECAME SO UNBALANCED, THE CORE OF OUR BEING HURT, IT WAS LIKE OUR HEARTS WERE BEING RIPPED OUT OF US UNTIL WE CAME BACK TOGETHER, THE PULL WAS TOO STRONG, OUR CORE BEINGS HAD TO BE TOGETHER, SO WE COULD STAY BALANCED, WE CAN READ EACH OTHERS MINDS, NEITHER ONE OF US HAVE EVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE, AND ALOT OF OUR PAST IS THE SAME, LIKE HE'S BEEN MARRIED TWICE AND SO HAVE I, HE'S BEEN DIVORCED FOR 5 YEARS AND SO HAVE I, WE KNOW WHAT EACH OTHER IS GOING TO SAY BEFORE ITS SAID. WE ARE EACH OTHERS SOULMATE AND TWIN SOUL.

I believe that with all my heart. I think you will know when you find them cause you will want to be around them all the time for the rest of your lives. I know my wife is mine, she has been the best thing that has ever happened to me! Some people may never really find their soul mate, but they find that person that is closest to being their soul mate. Thats what I think anyway.

A romantic delusion. What makes life *great*, no?! ;-)

Maybe one that is the best overall. There is I think several that are probably suitable for every person in the world. The challenge is to find them. I think we all have more than one acceptable choice. No person is completely perfect for anyone. We are too complex for that kind of total compatibility.

I think it is possible for you to have more than one soul mate. I loved my ex-wife deeply, but over time we changed and grew apart. It happens. I wasn't sure I'd ever find true love again, but then I met my current wife and I love her with all of my heart and feel we are soul mates. So, I honestly think it is possible for you to be so compatible with more than one person (not necessarily at the same time).

I think things can change so much for a person (like their responsibilities, selves, goals, what they need, and whatever else you can think of!) that we would probably fit well in all kinds of relationships with lots of different people at different times/places. I'm not sure if I'm totally on board with the "coupling" mentality, either.

soul mate or bed mate. you could probably live with and love several different people.

( my answer is in a comment for PT-paying it forward in the USA )

i think you make someone your soulmate and sometimes its easier than most sometimes you just find that one person that just fits you so perfect but i dont think its something pre determined or destined or anything

sure I believe that there is one really great match out there for everyone... but this may be said for friends as well as lovers... and I do belive that there are more than one person that someone could fall in love with

Yes. But I believe that soul mates play different roles. Some may be brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, lovers, friends, etc. I think we have many, many soul mates, which are our friends in Heaven.

Not at the same time. When you find someone that with the two of you just makes it complete, there is no room for anyone else. That's a soulmate. But it didn't happen overnight or instantly, it's more like a growing and melding together until you fit perfectly. So if something happens to one of you, it is possible to do that with someone else, and maybe in a totally different way.

Yes..Jim is a soulmate, my son is a soulmate, my dad was a soulmate, I have friends that are soulmates..it is not limited to a romantic liaison..what it means to me is that you don't have to explain yourself, you are given the benefit of the doubt, you are usually on the same wavelength, you "click", you have tons of fun in each other's presence, you always look foward to spending time together and never look forward to leavetaking. Even if you are talking about a "romantic" soulmate, I believe we all have many..not just one..you just have to be open to it and recognize it when you see it! :)

this question reminds me of a quote i heard somewhere: "soulmates are not always just the people that we fall in love with and end up with, but rather, the ones that our soul becomes attracted to" so yes, i do believe that there are more than one soul mates out there for everyone...but only one "true love"

I believe in multiple soulmates, I do

Yes but sometimes we get confused because we can feel great passion (attraction - biological, chemical) for several people in our lifetime. But that 'soul' connection is an experience deeper and somehow more 'right' - like looking inh a mirror. There seems to be a knowledge on a level outside our normal experience and inexplicable, but real. Could just be the extent of our imaginations of course! ha-ha. No-one can say for sure, can they?

Yes, and I FOUND her! [ does the Happy Dance ] : D

Yeh i believe in sould mate's and believe that their is that one person but im yet to find one. I Dont know how you will knw but i believe it will be the Cant eat, sleep or think dilema, Butterflies everytime you see that person and your sad when you dont see that person.

I think they could be possible, but I've never really had the proof put in frount of me to say 100% to that.

Perhaps but you never know for sure. Sometimes the amazing connection I have with one person blows me away. If he isn't my soul mate, then I am clueless.

Real but very rare

Sam, there is real, true love. It is real. However there is no perfect woman to meet this, so both of you will need to get honest with first yourselves and then each other. The unconditional love comes only from God. So it's you first admitting there is God, and likewise with her. Then you follow His rules and not your own. This way both of you are able to enjoy the wonderful benefits of a loving relationship without having to force " I want it my way" on each other. The part you may not like is that it requires each of you to tuck tail.

yes i do , though it is hard to find and he/ she might not be your wife or husband
