Too late. I already met her. We have been together for 14 years and lived together for 12. She is the center of my universe and has given me the three most beautiful little gifts that a woman can give to a man - and who run up to me when I get home shouting "Daddy!!!"
We are not married - but that is only because, much to our own surprise, we decided that we did not want to be. We love what we share and we think it is natural and beautiful. It would not be improved, we decided, by an expensive ring, a big ceremony and a permission slip from the state. (On the religious question, I must admit, we are a little more undecided and we still wrestle with that one a bit.)
In answer to the poll, we met at work. Specifically she was, at that time, a lobbyist who attended a reception given by my boss - a Member of Congress. I, quite frankly, was at, for reasons I will not go into here, a low point in my life. In walked this lovely girl with the most beautiful smile.
Being the good staffer, I introduced myself and we talked. She was pretty and smart and charming. We exchanged business cards and as smitten as I was I figured that was it.
Then she invited me to a few business lunches. Par for the course. Then she would drop by with business materials that she could have easily e-mailed to me. Then she invited me to a few business dinners. Mostly with other staffers and lobbyists, then a few times just us.
Slowly but surely - I am pretty slow when it comes to such things - it dawned on me that she kind of like me. So I asked her out on a real date. She accepted and we began to get serious - but I was still reluctant. Until one day I told her what had happened to me in the past that had hurt me so much and she held me and told me that I was not to blame and told me how much I meant to her.
The rest, as they say, is history. After two years, we moved in together. (It was about a year and a half before we moved in together that we had sex - her words, half in jest, "I was wondering if we were ever going to do this.") Then 9 years ago, the tears running down my cheeks, she put the first of those three little gifts I mentioned in my arms.
She is my everything. I cannot imagine my life without her and I need her more than I can ever express. When I get on my high horse - which being a creature of habit and in politics I do a lot - she just smiles at me, rolls her eyes and kisses me on the cheek. When I am nervous or worried, even if I don't say a word, she seems somehow to know and she will just come up and hold me and reassure me. When we have sex, as primal as our sex tends to be, it is like the whole universe shrinks down to just us and nothing else matters. She is the most loving and patient mother.
The superlatives go on and on. She is my soulmate, my best friend, my partner, the love of my life. I met her at work, but the odds were against it - and that makes me the luckiest guy alive.
u Since 2005, I have met my dates almost exclusively online. It is a bad idea to date women in the office and, for the same reasons, it is a bad idea to meet women who attends my church. I don't go to bars, clubs, etc. I would not date anyone who my family might try to advance as a candidate, so. . . where is the most convenient place to meet eligible women? Online dating.
I don't believe in soul mates (otherwise everyone would have their special person, which we all know is NOT the case). But if I were to meet my perfect guy? I would like to meet him either at the gym as we're both working out together... maybe he challenges me to a race or competition. After we go out together and get a meal together-
That or we meet in a video game and we level up our characters together, fight end game bosses together, and rage over how stupid the game is while pigging out on junk food.
How I'm really going to meet my soulmate: in my dreams because I know damn well it will never happen in real life. LOL
I already know who I want to marry and I believe I have a very good chance - the only thing is - I don't know where to find him cause he has a very common first name and there are around 500 guys on social media with the same first and last name as him.

--------------Well if you believe in soul mates then I would probably guess random. At least it happens like that in the movies! LOL
... I met my guy at the gym. lol - he's the one that signed me up.
Neither of these places. The fact is I am not interested and never wish, never want to know if there is a soulmate for me or not and if there is, if they are a reality then also I am not interested in meeting ever in my life.
My purpose of life is to stay single till death. I will ensure that happens.
Not at Wal-Mart.
Not at any tattoo parlour.
Not seated on any city street smoking a cigarette and watching the traffic go by.
Not eating raw steak while drinking Democrat blood watching Fox News.
Not snorkeling among sharks off Bimini.
Hmm.
Maybe in a nice quiet library or a long stretch of beach. :)
From the looks of it either in the graveyard or in the afterlife 😂
I'd say if there is one person for you, a soulmate or twinflame, you are likely to meet them online because of the vast nature and interconnection of the interwebs. If you believe that two lovers are destined to meet, it could be through any means, as life would draw them together in a strong bond.
never, nowhere, i have too much self hate and lack of self esteem / self confidence... even when a hot girl threw herself at me i let her pass me by and didn't persure her... i jus thought "ehh,, she was jus being friendly"
or "im not good enough for her anyway, she deserves a way hotter guy than my ugly ass"
then i jus started acting really cringey / awkward around her.. i think i really turned her off lol,
so i doubt il ever be with anyone lol
You should have put an “I don’t know” option, because beforehand you don’t know where you’ll meet your soulmate 🤷♀️
I imagine it will be at the grocery store while we both overthink which brand of frozen pizza to buy this time. Neither of us can choose, so we both banter about it. Then I say "well how about you come over to my place for this one and I'll come to yours for that one. We can try both." We find out they're both terrible and our 3rd date is cooking a pizza together.
Before she was my wife, she saw me at a Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie store and approach me. She said "So who are you shopping for?" That was the ice breaker that got us talking. That was 26 years ago.
So you will never know where. The place is the unknown. It can happen anywhere, at any time. For us it was just one sentence that paved the way.
Anywhere and everywhere if you are looking and they are. You have to kind of do it over time and build a rapport and drop hints you like them and so on and them to you to. I'm thinking like somewhere you frequent like a apartment complex or something.
We have more than one soulmate, I hope.
If I met another, it will probably be at work or random (travelling).
For me, the best bet is online. I work from home (always, not just because of coronavirus), I'm no longer in school, and my "going out" days are behind me. I am actually currently dating a guy I met online. For the record, I don't know if I believe in "soulmates", but he and I hit it off immediately. I instantly had this sense of comfort with him, which is not common for me.
I think there needs to be one more selection button thingy... A...
" I'll never find them " button thingy! I picked mutual friends , & that's why there needs to be the new selection button thingy ... because I can't trust anyone to be a true friend, , sad but , True!
If I gotta make a guess, I'd assume probably in the random ass location I'd never expect to be or a place I usually go all the time but never really talked to people, Who the hell knows society in this day and age is so fucking random and bizarre that no one knows anymore, at least when tech wasn't huge back then people actually had look and talk to each other instead of a screen.
I believe more in C, have tried dating sites but that was so far unsuccessful: nice dates but nothing lasting...
Nowhere, soulmates don't exist. There are millions of women who are perfect for you.
I tend to meet women at bars, the beach, the park, through work, and the gym. I suspect my future wife will be at the gym, so far those are the girls i get along best with.
I don’t really believe in soulmates but I met my current partner through high school.
I already met mine 💁🏻♀️ Met mine online and been together for 5,5 years already
After a certain age the odds of finding such person are low. No one is going to wait around for a soul mate that may never make the scene and got stuck in traffic in other relationships.
