Do You Believe In Soulmates?

It's an age old question, but what do you think? And, furthermore do you feel that your soulmate has to be attractive to you?

I think too many people delude themselves into thinking they've met "THE ONE" because of all the movies they watch and rose colored glasses over their eyes. Thus setting expectations to such an idealistic level that nobody can actually live up to.

Saying that, I think there are people who are lucky enough to find a person they can spend the rest of their life with. I've seen a few actually. They are the ones who fight through whatever obstacles or arguments they have and come out closer because of it. Divorce should be the absolute last resort, not like the nonchalant thing it's treated as these days.

People Think that there will only be the one. That idea needs to get out of people's head. There is so many people out there that are similar and could be the "one." There are several people who marry two or three times who find out that each guy or girl that they wished to be with was a soul mate or had the potential of it.
I think people look so much into this romantic tall dark handsome fairy tale that they miss the good ones.

I do not believe there are soulmates. I think there are individuals who are fortunate enough to find each other and are able to work it out, while other times there are individuals who end up with the wrong person, having a rough time, simply because they insisted on having a soulmate. That being said, I forget the name of the artist who said, "Marry someone whom you'd be friends with if they were of the opposite sex." I think that's great advice. My boyfriend and I are best friends, and if he were a girl, though I'd find him somewhat silly, I would still be his friend. I can actually picture growing old with him.

I don't believe in soul mates in the romantic sense of the term, nor do I believe that there is someone for everyone.

No, I don't. I believe there are several people whom you may feel attracted to, but a real relationship takes a lot of effort. There's no one "perfect person" out there. That's what I believe, at least.

I think that everyone does have a soul mate. Fat chance you will ever find them. I think there are varying degrees of soul mates. You have one that is perfect for you and you will have endless happiness with them, but there are also other multiple people out there that you can be happy with, never as much as you will be with your true soul mate but still happy none the less

I completely agree with this... but I also think that some people are destined to be alone... and those people are the kinds of people who can live without...

Once, I was telling my friend, who I think gives great advice, that I needed to stop worrying about relationships and dating so much and focus more on schoolwork or something... and she just said "Well, I don't think it's bad that you worry about those things as much as you do, because that's obviously what's important in your life." I thought she was being rude and making fun of me for having mixed up priorities... but she continued "the people who think about school all the time and don't have time to be in relationships... those are the people in life that are gonna care about their careers above everything else... the people who think about relationships more than anything else, those are the people in life that are gonna care about finding someone to love and starting a family with that person..."

I think everyone has someone out there for them if they want it.

Wow, I've never thought of it in that way. Thanks for posting that!

Anyway, I want to believe in soulmates. I can't completely get my mind to believe in them, though; I guess that's from my life experiences. But I do want to believe that everyone has that ONE person who just meshes so perfectly with them, including me.

But if you do find that person who you honestly think is your soulmate, but they dont feel the same way? Wat then?

I think with that said you will feel something that states that its not the person. You can be in love with someone and feel that they are not connected on the same level as you are. A lot of people deny that they never see their lovers cheating or never knew that things were changing but its denial. Its difficult to ignore the obvious.
