How does one know that he /she has met his /her soul mate

In other relationships I got more and more annoyed with the various idiosyncracies and quirks and behavior of the other person. With Jim I got less and less annoyed and found his quirks charming. That 's how I knew! Happy Friday to you! :)

You look at the bottom of your shoe mate

meeting many people and spening time with that person. It takes a lot of time to figure this out. You might think the person is it, right away. But only time will tell you for sure.

Troll's don't have souls (I'm inspired. I'm going to write a song about this)

A soul mate is someone from the same soul family and can be any relationship to you. There is a sense of recognition, but it is not always positive. Soul mates come into your life to teach you and to learn from you. It is a spiritual connection, not just or necessarily romantic. You have more than one soul mate. If you are meaning your true other half, that would be your twin flame. That, too, is a spiritual relationship, but the connection is stronger than any other you will ever experience.

Yes i know. Because I always take care to buy both shoes when getting a new pair.

i never did ,!!!

I really don't know how to answer that! I have been looking for quite a while now. I have not found my soulmate. I have no idea how to find him. I guess I will leave that up to fate.

the thing about souls and soul mates- they recognize eahc other almost immediately. without introduction or conversation. You both just seem to know. The hard part is ont allowing your mind to convince you an infatuation is your soul mate.

You have a feeling inside that whispers the idea of "soulmate's" and you know eachother too well to understand why.

Match.com?

You know because the person will love you unconditionally regardless of your flaws.

I know that my fiancé is my soul mate, but I've had that same sense of knowing with other people who turned out not to be. Really it comes down to trust in God that by marrying responsibly, we are really meant for each other. We can't know for sure until after our life on earth is complete, but by marrying, we are obligated to live as though we are.

I know that sounds so totally uncharacteristically unromantic of me, but I can explain! We are all created in God's image. What that means is that we have truly free will and thus true input on creation. I believe my fiancé and I are soul mates in eternity, but what makes us soul mates in eternity will be what we do in marriage on earth. If we love each other without reservation, and always commit to each other no matter what distractions come along, then what I believe with all my heart will be true. If we get lazy or stop caring for each other, then we'll be living a lie. If that makes your head spin, then read no further!

Eternity is eternity from "beginning" to "end" just as God is eternal and unchanging from "beginning" to "end." What we do can affect eternity, but it affects all of eternity, past, present, and future, all at once. What we do in the future has already affected all of eternity, that's how my fiancé and I can be soul mates before we marry, even though it is marrying and loving each other forever that makes us soul mates.

No such thing as knowing. Its more like realizing. You realize it when you are on your death bed and you look back at all the good, bad, and shared times. Then you look over and right beside you on that bed holding your hand is your SOUL MATE.

The person's nostrils will flare when he/she sees you. hehe

Trust me you just know. It's one of those things that cant be explained it's just you KNOW.

I know .but I don't know how to express to you !
One can imagine ,but can't express it !

It is hard to answer this question because it's not so much a thing that happens as it is a feeling.

Me and my Fiance (we are getting married this November) have alot in common but we also have our points that we strongly dissagree on.

We went through a rough patch at the start when I moved in with her because I could not find a job (I was a student at the time) and we got into a bit of debt, I found one and we are getting out of that debt now but everything just seemed to fall into place when we most needed it.

I agree that if anything is worth doing it is hard and must be worked at but with us everything just seems so easy.

We have been together for coming on 2 years and we have only ever had 2 arguments. Seriously how good is that? =P

I know the ropes only in coffee-mate matters!

You'll just know. Then pray that they feel the same way or your in for a lot of heart ache.

Well...a friend of mine suggested I write all the points I would want in a mate on a peice of PINK paper...then put it in the freezer...and it will happen. But be careful what you ask for...

I do, I met my soulmate in 9th grade while he was in 10th. We met in gym class by staring at each other and my friend also his exchanged our numbers..Two weeks later we were together. I cheated on my home coming night with his best friend. We broke up for about a week. We got back together and he left for military school a few months later, we write letters for a time, communicated on the computer and then were able to talk on the phone. We are now invincible. We went through alot and now five years later i can proudly say as I go to college, we will be together forever. True Soulmates.
To answer your question the hard times we went through is how i realized he is my soulmate.

I DID find mine, but it was after I had given up on ever marrying in this lifetime. And wouldn't you know it - he was from another country! I was in the wrong part of the world.

See, to my way of thinking, most of us are soul mates to each other. Everyone who pisses you off, and who makes you happy, even the guy who gives you directions, is a soul mate. THe term has been romanticised to death. It isn't just ONE person who comes along and changes your life. Many people you meet have changed your life, right? And it isn't THE romance of your lifetime, the one that lasts until you die. If that were true, no one would remarry after their spouse dies.

The more you know yourself, what you want, and what you don't want in a mate, the closer it pushes you towards a special person. the more you do the job right, and don't take shortcuts, the more fulfilling the romantic relationship naturally becomes. A person does not "complete you" (thanks, Hollywood, for that drivel). You are supposed to already be a complete person before you settle down. We are supposed to be a ASSET to each other, not glob on for dear life.

There is no recipe - everyone is different.
But what I can tell you is if you listen to your heart, it will tell you.
I knew I met my soulmate from the way he makes me feel, the way he guesses my thoughts, the way strangers think we're married, or even siblings! The way he looks at me, the way I feel like we've always known eachother... I just know it. But if you're not sure, than he's probably not the one..

Hope you'll find him/her one day.

i've heard it all the time. i hope i'll find mine someday but not in my mid-30s. to naswer your question some peopple say:
a) you just know as soon as you look at them
b) you find it out by getting to know their personality, likes and dislike
c) you love them, get married have kids(if you get that far they must be a pretty special person to you!)

You will find each other...

It will happen when it's meant to

Thank you, I understand.. But what if I have strong feelings for this woman but she does not feel the same way for me? It's becoming difficult for me to work with her since she is a co-worker of mine and we see each other everyday.. I can't think straight and sleep because of her. I feel like I overthink things but it's how I feel from the bottom of my heart and gut.. What am I to do?

Challenger I know how you feel :( I feel the same way about this guy that I worked with. I know he is my soulmate but I'm not sure if he thinks that about me.. I no longer see him anymore because I changed jobs I never got a chance to tell him how I feel :( I I know he is my soulmate I hope one day he will come and find me. I am tooo shy and insecure about myself to let him know please dont be like me.. Hopefully fate will bring us togoether<3

Even when you are complete strangers there is a shared sense of the familiar when you meet.


ps Fwiw I think we can come across more than one soulmate in our life time

In my case, although I had just met him, I felt as if I'd known him forever.

Soulmate? I should be so lucky just to Find him! :)

I think it's when you love someone enough to be with her/him no matter what. You would rather die than live without her/him. She/he becomes more important than the air you breath. It's when you feel you are compatible on so many levels you believe that she/he was custom made for you.

As far as finding her/him, I suppose you will meet her/him when you are ready to be the person that she/he needs you to be.

I beleive that there is more than one person out there who could be suitable for any one. But you know when you have found someone who you can love when you click on a first meeting and this just gets better as you go along:
eg I wanted to meet a Christian man (I am an evangelical christian), preferably someone interested in or from a European background, as I was studying Italian and I spoke German. Then one day, as I was selling Christian literature outside the university library, a tall dark and handsome student came up to the table. I began to talk to him, found out he was a Christian, and of Italian/German background...as I had just returned from Europe, we had a lot to talk about...we kept our eyes on each other at Bible studies around uni for a few years (as I was dating someone else) and then, just after I had broken up with my boyfriend, my future husband walked into classes at the teachers' college I was just starting at...we just clicked back into where we had been those two years ago...started going out, and married the next year...27 years this year.
So, you have to know what your minimum requirments are in a partner...when someone with those minimum requirements walks into your life, then you know you have to find out more...

I have a soul-mate...

When I stopped looking for "him"...Is when He found me.

No I don't :)

I did. I'm lucky. :)

i do beleive in soulmates spoulmates would be your prince charming in your fairytales they might not like you the way you like him but don't worry he'll realize it soon,..

and when you've found him don,t let him go,...

You don't find a soul mate ... it just happens without you knowing ... Alone now, but you may be heading for each other every moment until you meet ... soul mates become from fate.


Peace

Try numerology on your/hers date of birth and names.

If numbers mach you are on the hourse,OI!

Stop looking. That's how I found mine.

Believe me, when you meet them, you just know!

Soulmates just know immediately when they meet that there is some sort of strange knowledge they share. It is always mutual, deep and spiritual - not just a physical desire, tho' of course there is an urge to merge! And, maybe the relationship won't be forever, either. Perhaps its to do with past-life experiences and we have to work something out, like unfinished business, sort of thing?It's a great feeling, tho', isn't it? To meet someone you think of as your soul-mate.

You know, I have been married and divorced 2 times....and I am not even 26 years old. I was married both times to older men....My second divorce recently finalized. Out of the 2.....I have three children...all still pretty young....6, 5, 3. My roommate on halloween of this year (2010) wanted me to go to a halloween party with her. I hate parties...and am a recovering alcoholic so it didn't sound entertaining at all...but I went so she didn't have to go alone. I drank one beer...and stood near the bonfire all night. Her whole intent was to try and "hook me up" for lack of better terms. At the party they had 4 metal bands set to play...I am a country girl...I listen to all types of music (except - go figure - metal). As I was sitting next to the bonfire I looked across it to see what appeared to be a 17 year old boy waving at me. I didn't think anything of it...I actually felt weird because at 25 yrs old I thought he was cute. I heard music from the second band about an hour later and I actually liked it so I went to listen to it. Low and behold the "17" year old was drumming for the band. I was like, "all these guys look so old - save him." I inquired with my roommate, who said she knew all the band members. She told me his name and then informed me that he was actually 30 years old. One thing led to another and eventually she got me his number and on the 1st of November (And I never outwardly do things like this) I sent him a text message with a pic of my halloween costume asking if he had remembered me. When he said yes I waved at you, but you didn't wave back I told him that I did see him at the party and was wondering if he would like to meet me at Perkin's for some coffee that night. After getting to know him I realize I'm actually lucky he showed up, because he is quite shy, not bery open and wouldn't normally have done that. But he did and we have been in heaven ever since then. I have never met a man like him....and I fell head over heels. A few days ago he asked me and my kids to move in with him....he has 2 kids of his own a 6 yr old daughter and a 2 yr old son. Add on top of that that we waited over a month to get physically intimate with each other. When we finally got there....it brought us that much closer together.....we both have spoken to each other about how weird it is that 2 completely different people could be so attracted to each other....we both believe that our love was written in the stars and fate brought us together....so .... long story, but there are more people out there like us....and I think we would all agree there is a special someone out there for everyone....

Feel it inside urself...

when you look at them you just get this feeling of reasurement that your not going to be alone for the rest of your life. in a way you just know.

You feel the need to ask on the internet to figure it for you of course. The question is flawed, it should be "How did you know you had found your soul mate?" Before you found it you don't know, once you do you never do it again, hence the term 'Soul-mate" - single, not spiritual.

There is only ONE soul and you are it.

Find someone you're happy with.

You'll know it when you find him/her. You'll want to be with them as much as you can, you'll be always thinking about them, you'll be much happier and feel more fulfilled as a person. You'll just mesh right with each other and will have the assurance that this person is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Having trust and believe are the two key words.. if u don't trust ur heart no one can tell you if he or she is the one...

U will know... because u will get a feeling inside that says I know that person... but i never met them before how do i know them.. etc... even if ur mind don't know ur heart always will....
