Not really.
It's a simple factor of probability.
If there are six billion people in the world, what are the chances that as many people who have claimed to met their soulmates actually have when they encounter far far fewer than that before the time they get married?
The idea of soulmates is inherently depressing, I think, because the world is so big that the odds of you meeting that one person are incredibly small.
It's just that everyone clicks with certain people to different degrees, and if you suddenly click with one boyfriend much faster or better than you do with all the ones before, it's going to feel like you were "meant for each other" -- when in reality there are probably tens if not hundreds of people out there that would make your current one pale in comparison.
How many times have we seen celebrities (or our friends) touting someone as "their soulmate" only for them to split a couple years later?
I'm not trying to be depressing, just realistic. And the concept of soulmates is just not very realistic . . . and if it does indeed exist, the majority of people out there who think they've found their soulmates probably haven't, based on the numbers game.
