Is there such a thing as a soul mate?

It's believed that everyone has a soul mate just for them and when you meet for the first time it's cataclysmic. You know in an instant and you're in love immediately.

Do soul mates truly exist?

LOL

Nick Cannon said recently when he had seen Mariah Carey on her "Someday" music video years ago he said to himself one day he will marry her. Look at him now...They are married & Her 1st baby is from HIM.

I said that because it sounded like he was love at first sight with MC and perhaps he knew they were soulmates?

I still think it's somewhat of a fairytale but I do believe there is someone out there that understands your being and fits your lifestyle.. Hey I just see it as - Luck.

I'm a hopeless romantic so yes I believe in soul mates.

I think the term 'soul mate' was created by a hopeless romantic who sensationalized the feeling of falling in love. Honestly, I don't think a person can fall in love at first sight or know in an instant that this someone is perfect for them. Love is complicated and is a lot of work, it's been there for you and is tried and true and still loves you for everything that's wrong with you. But you can't get to that stage until you know someone well and have seen all the ugly in that person come out. If you guys work through it better than ever, then that's real love...solid love.

Yah, souls really exists. I am totally agree with you AngAng.

To me yes. I have been with my soul mate for seven years now, since I was 14. We also have a baby together.

I don't know if that really exist but the fact is, the person you love will become your soul mate if you really make a way to be with her/him forever. It depends on how you love a certain person.

Yeah, i have one, who i love so much, i so glad i met her, shes not just my gf but also my soul mate, so there is a soul mate out there, you just need to find him or her.

I already find my soulmate and I know she's the one for me. I just like her just the way she is. She's perfect.

I think there is such a thing. I never really thought about it before watching Lost, but now I do believe in it. I have never experienced it though.

I don't believe there is. That's just me though.

Lost the t.v. show? I thought that show was about people on an island (I've never seen the show). Or did it have an episode about soul mates?

Are you a pessimist by nature? I tend to be now that I'm older. When I was younger, I believed in soul mates and unicorns. Lol. But I am beginning to believe that soul mates do exist, it just isn't defined by fate or some cataclysmic moment. I believe it's defined by perseverance, adaptability, patience, and longevity. Although that doesn't sound as exciting as the former, it tends to be the reality.

Yep, I don't want to spoil you with anything in case you do ever watch it (which you should! Seriously epic) but let's just say some people found their "soul mates".

I too believed in soul mates as a younger person. Though when the years pass you tend to realize how much there really isn't anything much to it.

I am in a relationship the old fashion way. We've met, analyzed each other, dates and eventually we fell in love with the fact both our personality and who we are.

Again, I don't believe in soul mates.

Eh. I honestly don't believe there is such a thing as a soul mate. It happens when it happens.

I very much agree with you there.

Soul mates can be viewed as simply your ideal partner. Someone that fits you best. There doesn't really have to be any magical love at first sight stuff.

I agree with you Ang but I will add that going through life and growing together, the ups and the downs can be "sexy." Life and love is as only exciting and creative as the individuals that are engaged in it. Do we feel immediate connections with some people? Sure, we do but are those feelings genuine or are they feelings of lust, of want or delusions that we have internalized from too many Hollywood movies and love songs?

I don't buy into the concept of soulmates because I wouldn't want to limit myself by thinking that there's only one special person for me.

When I meet someone and we 'click' I believe there's a reason and a season for everything. This means that I will probably spend a certain amount of time interacting with this individual. There will be certain things that we each bring to the table so we each benefit for our relationship.

We might enjoy talking and laughing with each other, and there will definitely be things we learn and teach, with each other. If I connect with a very generous individual I might learn to be more generous because of his influence on me.

When we've accomplished what we can with each other the nature of our relationship might change so we both move on. I'll connect with other people and so will he. Ideally, we would release each other in a kind and loving way so...we always and forever think of each other...as friends.

Yes, I believe in the concept of a soul mate. Disregarding the odd, extraneous additions to the term "soul mate" that society has accomplished through gooey romantic books and movies, I believe there is another person out there that you will love with all your heart, and they will reciprocate fully. However, I have a slightly different take; I believe that there is more than one person in the world who you could be 100% compatible with. The concept of "the one" is simply a byproduct of introverts creating television dramas where, against all odds, a man or woman finds their true love halfway across the world. Just as many people go through numerous relationships until they find the person they wish to marry, think of all the other possibilities that might occur if you didn't marry that one person. Maybe a relationship afterward would have ended in marriage, or an old flame between you and an ex ignited once more. My point is that there is no such thing as soul mate, but potential soul mates (please don't mistake my statement in any form as advocating polygamy).
