Soul Mates . . . Do they exist? - Page 2

Insatiable_Ivy · #16 05-24-2003, 09:07 PM

I believe that soulmates do exist... and the feeling is so intense that you'll know without a shadow of doubt. It's more than just love, it's pure acceptance for who that person is. So many times, we get caught up in wanting the brother that is 6'4", 250, brown skin, bald head, with the sexy eyes... and when we get caught up in the surface, we get short changed on the deeper person. Mistake number two would be looking for a soulmate. We as women shouldn't look for a soulmate, but pray for God to send our soulmates into our lives. Looking to hard for a man that has everything, will again leave us being short changed on the deeper person. Now ladies, we are all worthy of a wonderful man, and I am not saying by any means lower your standards of what you are worth... but be willing to at least get to know people that are not quite there yet. Not saying a relationship has to evolve, but getting to know new people allows you to have a better understanding of what type of person you do and don't want in your life. Also, have patience, and be able to recognize potential. There are good black men out there... but many are diamonds in the rough... and sometimes it takes a good black woman to brings that sparkling diamond out... Try not to let one or two bad expereinces with our brothers leave you totally bitter. They need us as much as we need them. Much love and continue to have faith in our black men.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO for the soulmates!! There is no such thing. I try to believe, but as the days pass, I am more convinced that there is no such thing. How do you know that the person that you meet is your "soul mate?" How do you know if you are theirs? How long before you meet them? It's all a hoax.

Do I sound bitter?

RefinedDiva, not at all.. lol

I do believe in soulmates. I think that everyone has a person that they belong with or that is sent to them to help them become a better person.

Call me a hopeless romantic, but I do believe that God created that perfect someone who is just for me. There is that one and only perfect man out there that was intended truly for me. I also believe that we will meet. I don't see how someone could be intended for me and be living in a hut in the middle of Siberia at the same time. If he is for me, he will be in a position for me to be with him.

I do believe that people let their perfect someone, their other half, their soulmate, whatever pass them by. Your soul mate could have been the little kid across the street who you used to play red light, green light with but never liked when he grew up because he was only a mechanic and you wanted a lawyer, doctor, or investment banker.

If your soul mate does exist, does that mean that you will inevitably end up with him/her? Is it possible that your soul mate could die before the two of you meet? If it's your soul mate, and you let them pass you by, will they be back into your life, or did you miss out on your soul mate forever?

I have been bitter (for lack of a better word) this past year about men and relationships and whatnot. I used to believe that there was a such thing as soul mates, I think that my parents were soul mates. But lately, I just don't know. So I thought I'd take a poll! Tell me what yall think!!!

Soror...do you believe in soulmates now?

Damn you for dangling the BAIT all up in my face and not staying awake to tell me the story!!!!

But I believe too!!!

To tell you the truth, I dont believe in soulmates. I dont believe in fate or destiny either. I agree with Redefined Diva..I think its all a hoax.

I believe that there is somebody for every body because some fo the most unattractive people are happily in love, so I do believe in that, but until I see different (with someone else or myself) or feel different (within my own relationships), thats as far as its gonna go.

I do believe in soulmates. I believe a person can have several - male and female. I mean I have two very close girlfriends one Ive known since I was 4 or five and the other I met in high school. I think that they are my soulmates because they know me so well and when I explain things to them they just understand right away. It's just easy with them. My boyfriend too. I think he's a perfect match for me. I mean I'm 20 and he's 21 but we have a really good relationship and we always "see green curtains together" (as my uncle would say.) I'm always in the mood for what he's in the mood for and we dont argue about very significant things when we do argue. He knows what's up with me all the time. And I only anticipate that we grow to know each other even better.

Even someone you might have sat beside on the plane and had a really good conversation with and never saw them again could have been your soulmate. They might have said something that left a deep imprint on your life. Memberfriends who have line sisters, dont you think some of your linesisters were your soulmates? You were destined to spend that time together and take that wonderful step.

What do you think now Ideal?

Paradise359 · #27 04-07-2004, 08:01 PM

Yes. I'm with mine now

AngelicWings21 · #28 04-18-2004, 06:04 PM

I believe soulmates exist....I believe I have met mine...but we are far apart...and I am with someone ....
Its...hard...to swallow...but when the appropriate time for us to take the chance...we both hestiated...and now...we both are just hurting....

....most of my friends and family are pure examples that they do exist...

I do think that they exist. And I do know who mine is, but we are not able to make it work right now. We're in different places and it's just hard. I'm not really sure I'm willing to put in all of the work for it anymore. *shrug* I'm tired.

justamom · #30 04-18-2004, 08:37 PM

I HAD to intrude because this is so near and dear to my heart-YES, there are soul mates-I believe that with all my being.

BTW-HAPPY B-Day Ideal08!
