I believe in soul mates. That's plural. I think that people can have more than one. But.. I don't know ... sometimes people connect a level that can't be explained otherwise....

I know I've found at least one of mine!

i believe in soul mates....but i believe in them thinking there are different kinds. i believe there is the one man or woman you are truly meant to sepnd the rest of your life with, who unfortuntately we do not always find; and then there are the forever friends, the friends who you met and there was that instant "best friendness" and you are friends with them for the rest of your lives. wow, i really sound like an idealist

yes i think i will find mine, and i have found a couple of hte friend ones but i don't know if i've found my love yet

i completely agree!

i have met two of my friend ones. i met my one best friend, laurie ann, through delta gamma!!

we are super close and it sucks cause she is a rho gamma right now. some of our sisters call us "noriann" (my name is noreen and her name is laurie ann)

i met my other best friend, saevar, at a bonfire. we are so close that people think that we are dating. he practically lives with me, spending 4-5 days out of the week here. we even grocery shop together!! lol

i havent met my love soul mate i dont think. everyone says that saevar is my soul mate and that we should get married. they say that we just dont see it yet and we will soon. oh well..

one day i will met *him* but i have my friends to keep me company until then

I definitely believe in soulmates. I think there is one person out there that is just perfect for you and someone that God has intended you to be with. But I also think that people sometimes don't wait for that person to come around.... I think there are probably a few people in this world that you could marry and be happy with. But I think that there's just one out there that is absolutely perfect for you.

I thought I had found mine, but I was wrong.... I know people get depressed over breakups and stuff, but I always try and remind myself that it's better to find out now that he isn't the one than wasting time and finding out years later. There's plenty of fish in the sea and with each failed relationship, you're one fish closer to finding your soulmate... haha

So to answer your question, no I have not found mine. But I am looking for him and I know he is looking for me, too. I actually pray for him almost every night for God to keep him safe and to help me find him so we can be together.

Yeah, I know, I'm a very romantic person... hehe

Munchkin03 · #8 08-18-2003, 11:52 PM

Yes, I believe in them.

Yes, I have found my romantic soulmate, and a few platonic ones.

Yes, I believe I will find others. Life is long and winding.

MeLikey · #9 08-19-2003, 12:26 AM

Yes, I believe in soul mates. It's funny but with my ex I thought we could get married, but I never thought of him as my soul mate. I guess that answers a lot since we no longer speak to each other. I believe in fate and that people come in and out of our lives for different reasons. I know I'll find him eventually... though I've always said that my future husband is in California, and well, since I haven't been able to move out there yet, I am soul mate-less. Need to get out there!!!

Thats awesome and made me feel good. I dont know if I have met mine yet. Time will tell. I have a suspicion that I have...

I too have often thought about my soulmate and wondered what they're up to and hoped god was keeping them safe. Thinking of how much fun they are prolly having and how we'll sit around some day and I'll be able to remember a time when I was saying a prayer before we even met.

Corny? Absolutely. Hopeless romantic? Definately.

I don't know what to believe....

Love has been an elusive, confusing force in my life...

Truthfully, I don't know if I even know HOW to love...and I don't just mean in a romantic sense...

I think believing that soulmates exist has something to do with your trust level in others and whether or not you believe that the universe is benevolently good and loving...and I'm not so sure...

WARNING: LONG POST HERE!
There are really interesting theories on soulmates :

Soul Mates are those beings that we have had connections with in past lives. They may have been our parents, siblings, spouses, friends, etc. and they have agreed to come back to join us again. The reason for this rejoining is so that we can each achieve balance in our lives. Our Soul Mates represent our spiritual family. By connecting with them we are reminded of the resonance of our Soul and also they help us to wake up and remember our purpose. Most of the time when we think of Soul Mates we are thinking of love relationships, but we can have Soul Mates that join us for business partnerships, healing relationships, and yes, love relationships. Any relationship we can have is open to the arena of Soul Mates. They may be a teacher or minister or counselor who comes into our life and touches it deeply. Soul Mates are truly our friends from many lifetimes who come to play again with on this Earth. Often they come into our lives for a specific time or event. They may even come into a love relationship to assist us in a specific learning and then move on. Whatever the purpose of being in each others lives it is a beautiful experience. When you connect with your Soul Mate in a love relationship, you have, in effect, found your perfect mate for where you are in your development as a Soul.

Also, have you ever heard of a Twin Flame ? I really love this:
Twin Flames are ourselves in another body. When Souls chose to enter into physicality, they were split into masculine and feminine aspects. Please note, I did not say male and female, because throughout our incarnations, we will be in both genders of bodies. When we first leave the Light to enter into physicality, we will connect with our Twin Flame. This is done so we will not feel so totally alone in the human experience. After this we go our separate ways and grow lifetime after lifetime in experience and wisdom until we are ready to break free of the bonds of physicality and mortality. When we have reached this stage we have the opportunity to reconnect with our “other half” or Twin Flame. The chances are that we meet our Twin Flame briefly in many lifetimes, but one or both of us are not ready for the intensity of this connection. When both halves of the whole are ready to come back together and meet they will discover that in that lifetime they have lead almost parallel lives. The events of their lives will mirror each other almost exactly. They may have come from very similar families and family dynamics. They may have had similar schooling or lack thereof. They may have almost identical careers. They may even have previous marriages and divorces within weeks of each other. When Twin Flames get to know each other, they will feel as if the other is reading their life script.

Once in relationship, the bond between Twin Flames can only be compared to the bond between identical twins. They are aware of each others thoughts, feelings, desires and needs at a level that is hard to imagine. The depth of Love is such that to be apart even for a day is a hardship. What is meant by that is that their hearts literally hurt when they are separated from each other. Even if only for the work day. It is this depth of Love that reminds them of the Oneness of Light to which they are returning. By anchoring this Love in the physical, not only are they preparing for their own ascension, but they are also leaving an imprint for others to follow in time for their own.

i definately believe in it, But I have yet to find that soulmate. somewhere down the line, maybe one day I will.

some of you mentioned 'soul mates' as girls
ages ago, wouldn't women have referred to other women as 'bosom buddies' instead of soul mates
