Are there really any SoulMates?

One reason I am abstaining besides my fears is because i actually believe there may be a true soul mate out there for me and that there is one for everyone out there. This person would be someone who connects with you more than sexually. I mean, spiritually, intellectually, things in common. You just kinda click. I cant just go for anyone. I am done with dating and into soulmating. Has anyone out there actually found a soulmate?

" i believe your right. This time apart is like a preparation for what is destined to happen sooner or later. I think when we are ready we will meet. The waiting is the hard part. "

" I believe that the school of hard knocks also known as life can prepare you for a good relationship with someone equally mature from life's slings and arrows. I believe in Marriage but also from personal experience realize that people change and who you start off with may not be who you end up with. "

" There are likely ranges of people who you are more compatible with than other ranges.

When you use such descriptors as "soul mate" that puts a heap load of expectations on the other person to live up to such a noble title.

Take for example James Brown. He got Soul -and he's SuperBad. He probably had many soul mates.

I nominate February 1st as the Official Soul Mate Holiday -brought to you by Carl's Junior. "

" im still debating if i want to marry. use to be marriage was like ownership, and the child would take the males last name. this was kind of the bond that made the male feel included. now that divorces are so common for every little thing and so many people fight over complete crap, i dont see any reason to get involved. the males involvement seems to only be sex... the woman has the pregnancy, and nurtures the child, so the child almost always loves the mother more. if my only responsibilities are sex support and money. im not interested. might as well just get a whore. be cheaper...

if i decide not to marry, that kind of rules a soul mate out. "

" I'm not too sure if I believe in the one or soul mates because depending on where you are in your life you can connect with a lot people at different times. I am firm believer in timing with someone when you meet them and all just the right time.I have met some people good connection and not so good timing for anything more to happen. I am not saying it can't happen or there isn't the one.... I just haven't met or seen that person yet. I am just enjoying and making the best of my life now, Patience is a virtue. "

" Yes, I have found my soulmate =)

Here's what pops peoples bubbles though - guess what? we still have issues. It isn't roses, butterflies, and lollipops. We have disagreements, we get on each others nerves, sometimes we need space.

But we both are deeply committed to and love one another. God created man and woman for each other and I believe specifically a man for a specific woman. Don't let the general BS of this life numb you to it. Relationships are hard and require DAILY work. Just because you find Mr. or Mrs. Right doesn't mean everything just magically works out.... "

" Searching for your soul mate is like sitting down to a blank piece of paper with the intention of writing a perfect masterpiece. I don't think soul mate matters, I feel it's just another label. It is not the heart that has created the search for the soul mate - it is the mind that has created it. Thoughts and thinking. So the question is, do you want to chase after an idea in your mind, or do you want to be completely open to whatever you may discover.. "

" I think most are right on this you search and you won't find it..when searching you will be looking for the quailites you think are right and what you think will fit..Stop searching let God do his work, all in his time. "
