i was just wondering what the word "soulmate" means to everyone. have you found your "soulmate"?

## Post 2 by wildebrew (We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?) on Monday, 28-Mar-2005 12:04:29

I'm going to e a bit unromantic but practical here:
I don't think "soul mates" exist really, not in the strict romantic sense that "there is only one person out there for and this is him/her". I think you can find people out there who think a lot like you or like the same stuff you like or that you feel attracted to, yes. And you can find someone with just the right mix of physical desire, romantic passion and friendship so that you can make it together for life.
It's a hard one though, you need a little bit of both, you need friendship or common hobbies and you also need the passion and the love and attraction that comes with it. You can have one or the other with someone but unless you have both you either will have a very strange passionless relationship or you will have something passionade but not very long lasting. And I really think there is more than one person out there that you can love, not that you should explore this if you think you've found the one, then do anything you can to make it work and congratulations to you, but if you realize something is wrong don't think this is the only chance you get and stick with it just because that's the only thing you've found, your heart will tell you if you're right or wrong.
So, I think to me soul mate just means someone who thinks like you and acts like you in many ways, but it does not mean that one perfect person sent to earth to be your partner forever, not necessarily.
cheers

The word soulmate is a very strong one. I think like WB that it's a person that you get along with well, who shares some of the same interests, and who you are very pashionate about. I think that it takes time for some people to find theire soulmate, and that they may love many before they do. To me a soulmate is the one that y9ou share your life with, but it doesn't mean that you haven't loved before. I believe that yes, I have found my soulmate, and he's a really wonderful person.

well .. I think that a soul mate is someone who you have a lot in common with, someone who you start talking to and you click almost instantly, someone who you can laugh with, who knows instantly if you're not happy, and knows how to put it right, and who you in return know when they're not happy and know how to put it right, someone who you can share physical desire with but equally can sit up all night with talking about anything and everything. but I agree with b, I don't believe there is just one person for everyone, otherwise that would make all previous love worthless, and after all, just because you've loved and a relationship didn't work out, doesn't make that relationship worthless. Yes I believe some people find one person who they choose to spend the rest of their lives with, but equally some have many experiences, and each of those is different, and unique.

I personally think that soul mates aren't necessarily people of the opposite sex, or restricted to romantic love. I think when you find someone who it feels like you've known all your life, who 6you can't/won't leave no matter the circumstances, who feels like a part of you, you've found him/her. There can be many, and some do result in love, but I don't think the soul is restricted to romantic love, or, people of the opposite sex...

Yes in a sense I do think there is such thing as a soul mate. I think a soul mate is someone you can spend the rest of your life with, and has a lot of the same interests as you do, but with me I think you have to leave it up to God to find you a soul mate and I think I may have found mine. However, I think it will take a little more time to find out if this person is my soul mate or not.

Soulmate Someone having a strong connection with you, since that day you meet. Someone that you can be with till your old. or maybe your best friend is the right way to say it. i'm not sure Just think about connection and good deads when your with that person.

Well I can only say that I feel very close to a friend of mine. I have known her for several years. She some how manages to know when I sound upset. I can talk to her if I feel I bneed to talk to her, but that is all I can say.

My idea of a soulmate is someone with whom you have the most amazing connection. Someone that completes you without you even realising you needed completing before they came along. I believe a soulmate is someone who doesn't have to do or say anything, there is an unwritten, unspoken, immensely intense connection between you, which you feel both when you're together and when you're apart. They don't have to do or say anything, they simply make your life better just by being alive, and you just know that without them you are lacking the most important thing. I believe a soulmate is someone which can't be described in words, it is someone so amazing, and a connection so intense and fulfilling and awe-inspiring, all the words in the world can't be used to articulate the full meaning of a soulmate to the greatest extent. I know it's a fairly lame description, but after attempting to answer the question to the fullest, I concluded that a soulmate is someone who simply completes you, and everything in the world that is special and important, it just can't be explained, but believe me, when you have found them, you just know!

Personally as far as a soulmate goes, I don't think a person should be romantically connected with their soulmate. I think a soulmate, is your best and closest friend, someone you can talk to when you are feeling down, someone who will always be there for you through thick and thin. Someone who knows when you are about to be in serious trouble. The reason why I don't think people should be romantically linked to their soulmate is because sometimes when you go out with someone who is a very very close friend and if somehow things just don't work out for whatever reason, that delicate friendship and wonderful balance that was there suddenly seems gone. But that is just my oppinion!

Hmmmm ... someone who understands me completely and who knows me and knows how to make me feel good and who knows how I feel I think. But I never really thought about this.

Someone who is my best friend, reliable, trustworthy, and I am not afraid to share anything wiht. Someone that makes me happy and smile and just an all round good person.

Soulmate: someone who isn't nnecessarily your girl friends / boy friend, someone who remains for ever constant within your mind (not obsessing over them no), but someone who just...is for ever constant, I can't explain it any other way. A person whom you can tell everything too, and not feel insecure for telling them, a person who can look you in the eye and tell you, that you need to just jump...
So many ways I can describe my deffinition of 'soulmate', but these things that I above mentioned are top on the list of characteristics, if you will.
I'm not asking anyone to agree with me but...there ya go, for what it's worth.

Good job torico, I agree!

I think a solemate is the one person you think will never come again, and matches you to the dot.

soulmate: I can't explain it... I don't have one, well I kinda do... We're not official, but man, It's just someone you share everything with, and trust... It's gotta be very deep to call them soul mate though.

Good point, Chelsea. Hmm. Well whenever I think soulmate I think of the kind of person where you don't need to change at all to suit them, it's really hard to make them NOT love you...the kind of person who can finish your thoughts for you. but I also think it's just a matter of opinion, one's soulmate can be different from another person's, I guess it just depends on one's values. I would think I wouldn't ever know if I find my soul mate, will I? I mean we're all connected in a way, so I don't know.

Finding a soul mate might be dificult for some and not for others but me well I found her but I don't even think she even likes me in that aspect! I mean we are the best of friends and all but I feel something more for her. I just hope she realizes that.

## Post 22 by OrangeDolphinSpirit (Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how popular it remains?) on Thursday, 08-Dec-2005 18:47:56

I think I rather like the idea of soul mates being your best friends and nothing more. As for what I think a soul mate is, personally, ... I havent really given it much thought. My best friend, though, would fit the description perfectly. She knows when I'm sad or depressed or feeling lonely, and she knows just the right things to make me smile. She's everything I want in a friend and so much more. She is closer than a sister. I love her to pieces! *GRIN*

The word soul mate encompasses so many things. I believe that a soulmate will always be true, and truely is matched to your soul. There is only one person for each of us, and that if we are lucky we might find he or she in our lifetime. I'm still looking for mine.
