Do you believe everyone has a soulmate?

Question

Explain why or why not?

jerseygal623 · Accepted Answer

I’m one of those people who think soulmates exist, but that you won’t necessarily find them in your lifetime. A soulmate is someone I feel like I’d connect with on a truly deep level, and will never find that again once they are gone. And it doesn’t have to be a romantic connection—it’s just someone who truly gets you, and vice versa.

Now, if we’re talking about who you are compatible with in relationships, I think that’s different. In that case, I don’t believe there’s just *one* right fit. I think that’s why people get married and divorce and marry again.

If you’re lucky enough to marry a soulmate though, I think, that love never truly leaves you. That’s what I think when I see couples where they remain married until death truly parts them. The one left behind has zero desire to date and not even loneliness makes them want to seek another love because they have already experienced the best one. That’s how rare that connection is though, in my opinion.

The whole soul mates thing is a cop out used to prevent anyone from ever doing any work on their relationship. They think “it won’t be this hard with my soul mate!” and let the relationship fall apart or break up at the first sign of trouble.

Listen. All relationships are hard, even ones with people with whom you’re very compatible. You have to fight for them. You have to protect and nurture them - and that means being open, honest and communicative.

No one is a mind reader. You have to tell your partner (s) what you want. They aren’t going to just know. It would be impossible for them to guess what you want and need out of the relationship, so save everyone the trouble and tell them.

There is no mystical solution to relationships. Just communication.

No. The idea of a soulmate is a myth. The fact of the matter is romantic love takes work. It doesn't happen at first sight, it isn't this magical. Once you've been in awhile the sparks fade, it gets less exciting, and those things you used to love start to drive you up the wall. That's when real love begins. That's when you make the conscious choice to put the effort in. To love them even when they drive you insane, to love them even when you don't agree, and to love them despite their flaws, despite the effort, and despite the fact that it doesn't feel like it used too. There are a number of people you could make it work with, but you have to try. Cupid isn't going to shoot you with an arrow, some deity isn't going to make fireworks go off. You have to do that.

Maybe there is someone out there who is completely compatible for you but I doubt you will find them. There's 8 billion people in the world, I doubt your soul mate will live in yor city. It doesn't matter because I think relationships are he most valuable when you work really hard at it. What was that quote that Monica send to chandler in friends? I love that one

cupidkisses · Accepted Answer

I believe that

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

No.

There's really no such thing. Instead, there are people who have high levels of compatibility and attraction for you, and you for them. It's often just random chance when and where you meet them, or if you do at all.

Most people have several potential "soul mates" running around, but even if you meet one, they or you may already be taken, or for some other reason the timing just isn't right. Other times, everything works out.

Some people stumble into a high-compatibility relationship when they're young, but most people have to work at it for years and years - kind of like how some can play the Lotto for decades and maybe win a small prize, and someone else can play once and win the jackpot - it's largely random chance.

winterfox10 · Accepted Answer

I think so... Some people just have a tendency of taking over your thoughts and feelings. Your soul mate would have to be someone who just instinctively understood and loved everything about you. I have met a woman like that.

CandymanJ · Answer

Yes, but not necessarily in the romantic type of way.
Now, it COULD be a romantic partner... guy, girl, whatever you're into. But sometimes it can be your best friend. Sometimes it can be the "one that got away". It could be anybody, but it doesn't have to be a romantic situation. It could even be a complete stranger. I believe in soulmates, and that people can even have two but I also believe that not everybody meets their soulmates.
Me personally? I have two. My best friend, who is a dude, (however, it's not romantic or anything, and I'm not gay... lol)
And also this one girl. It's hard to explain. I dream about her once in a great while, but I HAVE met her before, but its been several years. I can't remember her name, but the dreams are very detailed and I always remember them.. I think I might've went to school with her... I HAVE met her, I just don't remember where... anyways, I believe SHE is my soulmate as well

MyExBackCoach · Answer

The idea of a soul mate is a religious one from way back based on the idea that souls were cut in two after creation and that we are all seeking to connect back to the other half of our soul.

So that's where it came from. I don't believe in the concept. I think that love is a commitment and can be hard work sometimes. There's not one perfect person out there for you. There are probably millions of people who are compatible with you who would be a great partner for you. I think that's the reality even though the soul mate concept sounds so poetic. Here's an article on the concept of soul mates and how the concept is probably not best for relationships - see http://www.marriagehelper.com/soul_mate.php

curiousscorpio89 · Answer

You could spend your entire life searching for that one person that is a perfect match. Or you can be realistic and realize that love is about loving someone for everything they are. Their flaws and strengths. Their morals and values, their humor. I think just genuinely enjoying someone's company and feeling like they make your life better and make you better. That's what love is. I do think that if you have realistic expectations and date enough everyone can find someone who they can find this connection with. Every relationship has its issues. Relationships are work, But if you love someone enough to compromise and meet each others emotional and physical needs. That's what everyone is really searching for. Soul mate to me means you were destined to be with them, I don't believe in that.

R1tuRaj · Answer

I consider soulmate the one who understands you completely, gives you the love you deserve and you both are breast compatible to each other, in (almost) all aspects. I believe so by experience, some of my family members have found there's already. My parents included. But most of them are unhappy with their partners. That's because they didn't wait for the best one for themselves. If you think soulmate is someone who has been destined to meet you and your search will end there, it's not like that. You gotta search them in every other guy/girl and you'll find them, sooner or later (or maybe not. The world is too big). Good luck 👍

Halligan · Answer

As me before I met my second husband and I would have said it was hogwash. I thought it was about 2 people just trying to make things work. But things have been different with my second husband since the day we met, even though we didn’t date for a year and a half.

Browneye57 · Answer

There's no such thing. Would be along the same thing as pink unicorn farts.

No, there are many suitors - your job in dating is to make a determination as to whether they are a match or not, to discern whether they are worth your investment in time, effort and emotion.

So date, A LOT, just don't have sex with them all. This way you'll actually have enough experience to choose wisely. And that's what Dr. Laura always said, "Choose wisely, treat kindly."

Furuok · Answer

You would have to have a soul. Lets see some sell their soul to the devil. Those people are out. Some give their souls to christ in return receive everlasting spirits. Those people are out. Some believe in reincarnation giving their soul to become someone's pet their out. All that is left are those that believe in aliens and mythology. The ones that believe in aliens don't know they have one & those who believe in mythology remember that we all were created equally and our mate may be lost in ungodly lust of the body. As far as souls mating? well lets just keep watching YouTube it is bound to show up someday !

Jaydid · Answer

I dont believe in the soulmates theory. Adam and Eve were made for eachother yes but they still would have had to work at their relationship and MAKE IT WORK. A relationship isn't going to carry itself or fix itself when fights break out. I do however believe that there are types of people that fit good together and a good way for those people to realize what they need is "the 5 love languages". My wife and I went through a rough patch and i took this quiz and read the book, I then asked her to take the quiz and we both realized where we were lacking and how to fix that... also read another book called "the love dare", its a 40 day challenge in which you apply something different to your spouse each day, some days are easier than others but something worthwhile isn't free or easy to keep for a lifetime.

bossdean · Answer

Yes! I've dated many different types of women that I can't even count how many now. And honestly, going through so many disappointments, I about to give up on relationships. And then out of no where there she was, the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with. And all the disappointments and experiences that I've gone through with other women actually shaped me into a better person who capable dealing with any unforeseen difficulties that we could face. Now I am happily married with three beautiful children.

PinkMichae · Answer

I believe we have soul mates. There isn't just one match out there for you. If there was then we wouldn't spend so many years with someone you love but ultimately you end up growing apart and the relationship ends. Then you find someone else that you feel that deep connection too. Also I believe soul mates aren't just people you fall in love with. I believe they are your best friends or family members you are connected too.

KrazeeSurfer74 · Answer

I think that there is someone out there for everyone. The thing is though it seems like the best ones just happen in that one moment. It's not like there will be birds making the symbol of a heart over her head to signify that she is your soul mate. Just looking for the things in life that you can relate to. I have thought that I found the one a couple of times, but when struggle surfaced, that is where the rubber really met the road. Because our relationship wasn't truly founded on being able to give and take. It seemed like one would just take and take till they sucked the life out of the room. So, I say your relationship needs to have a strong base, then you can build something harmonious together. But really there is no magic to finding the right one. It just takes courage and openness.

MisterG122112 · Answer

No. Absolutely not. A happy, healthy relationship requires hard work and serious dedication on both sides. The concept of a "soulmate", this idea that two people are "destined to be together," takes that hard work and effort and throws it out the window.

Trentonator · Answer

I believe everyone has several soulmates. Several people out in the world that would be perfect for them. They might all produce different lives for you but, you could still be completely happy with them. If you think about it all it would take to produce a soulmate is for yours to fall in love with thiers... Don't limit yourself, if you think there is only ONE soulmate for you out there, then there is a 99.9999999999999999999% chance you will end up settling.

Idontknow092 · Answer

It might just be wishful thinking but i do believe that everyone has a soulmate.
The odds of finding them, the person you are 100% compatible with, the person who is the same as you, thinks exactly like you and has the same feelings as you do seem to be low.
That person could be your neighbour but it could also be a person living on another continent and in such a case you would probably never meet each other in your lifetime or even know of each others existence.

Twistboy101 · Answer

I think all perfectly normal people have soulmates. But the thing is, you have to be lucky enough to find them. But really there's someone out there for everyone. Too many humans on the earth for there not to be anyone at all. Everyone has a special someone put there but not everyone finds them always.

StellaGreenEyes · Answer

I think soulmates exist, whether it’s a friend or lover. But that it doesn’t mean you don’t have to work to keep the relationship strong. But there are some people who you connect with more strongly, whose presence is necessary for your happiness (and vice versa). And those are the people you make more of an effort for and work harder to keep in your life.

Smilestri · Answer

Who do we consider a soul mate.. mostly the person who thinks and feels and wants the same things we do or enjoys all the things we want and do with us.. so yea I believe e there is but 99% of the time we don’t end up with the soul mate coz he or she is already taken..

Griddlockk · Answer

Yes, but possibly more than one. If there was only one, then you have a slim chance at finding them, and there would be very few couples that are soulmates. I believe that there are many "the one"s out there, and you just have to find the one who is the closest.

youtoo · Answer

I have to say I'm surprised at the poll results. It's good to know that more and more people are becoming more realistic about what it means to be in a viable relationship, far removed the rose colored glasses that our grandparents used to wear before it inevitably ended in divorce. Good question!

VaIiant · Answer

A person can be compatible with many, many people. “The One” is silly. The One in your... town? County? Country? Continent? Hemisphere? Ideally, it wouldn’t work. That’s pretty much saying, you’re destined to be alone forever because “The One” for you is in Nigeria. Or Brazil. There will always be people you have chemistry, and the capability to develop love, with.

Jomery · Answer

I voted No because my answer is maybe, if a person can't bond with someone to a point where they generally love them, whether it be a friend or partner, then I would say they don't have a soul mate. Sure there probably is someone out there for everyone, some people won't get to meet them though.

soccer990 · Answer

Yes but you don't always end up with them. Also someone may be yours but you may not be theirs. We all value different things in a relationship but often times things blind us. When it's been years or it's over, you usually see the real person. What may seem perfect or your soulmate, rarely is.

madhatters4 · Answer

i believe most if not everyone has one if not more people you can feel a soulmate sort of connection to. i think this person can be of any gender and it doesn't have to result in a romantic connection. but i think everyone has many people you can feel a deep soulmate like connection with

if you are asking if everyone has one soulmate out there for them in terms of a romantic relationship then i would say i don't believe that is true

Dawsonwc · Answer

No. I don’t believe in soulmates. The idea of soulmates sounds miserable to me. I have to spend a huge portion of my life alone waiting for one person who holds the key to happiness. Nah I’m good. I’d rather live with everyone feeling connected to me in some way with varying degrees of intensity that fluctuate with time usually depending upon what I do to effect those connections. One feels like a prison, the other a garden.

HereIbe · Answer

"Soulmate" is just a juvenile fantasy. It's of the nature of an animated Disney movie. Nobody with the least bit of sense believes such a Disney movie is real. Reality is far more complex and glorious.

A solid relationship is work, toil, suffering, tears, effort, time. A solid relationship is a hand-crafted mansion. People who pine for "soulmates" want to pitch a tent and believe that a bit of canvas will last a thousand years.

wisdom_sharer · Answer

No. because that would mean there's some kind of a force who just made up thousands of people who went trough wars, diseases, starvation, death, torture, pain, etc. just so they'd eventually produce "me" and "my soulmate". It doesn't make any sense.

JonDoe1985 · Answer

No, it's absolute hogwash. Yea, there is A person pout there you could be the utmost compatible with, but with 7 billion people on the planet, there are bound to be quite a few of them. It just doesn't seem that way because, even know with internet dating increasing our search outputs, there are hundreds of thousands who are incompatible just within several miles of us. We are rather limited to a certain range to look for that "soul mate."

deric_97 · Answer

More like soulmates. Because if you'd share more of yourself to more people, you'd find out there's actually wayy more like minded people like you that acts in synce with ya. I knew this from Clash Royale and some experience of sharing with people.

LegateLanius · Answer

Doesn't exist. There is no one person tailor made for some one. We all need to learn to be more realistic. There are many people out there capable of being a match for them.

Clarke498 · Answer

Sort of yes and no.

Yes:
There's almost 8 billion people and that 1 of them fits pretty much perfectly in every way, i would find highly possible. That you'll find the person is less likely though.

No:
I don't believe one person is made for another. Each life is their own journey.

aficionado · Answer

Not at all. Some people, like myself, are universally hated and looked down upon. Not that I care any more, but just saying. Now all of u are desirable or wanted by people of the opposite sex (or same sex, for gay people).

Ermeda · Answer

I BELIVE everybody has a perfect match. It's nice. But how to find it or something, i have no clue. Never had it, never really tried to find someone like that. But still its a nice thought.

steveguitar · Answer

Because there is no such thing as destiny, or fate or any other fantasy crap that people have conjured up.

There is chance, chance that something good or bad will happen. Bad things are more likely on this planet and in our human societies

Jisoo_lover5683 · Answer

I’m not sure if this relates to soulmates exactly but I don’t agree when people say stuff along the lines of “she completes me”. No. You complete yourself, your significant other is a prized bonus.

AvengerQuargon · Answer

Soulmates aren't some kind of divine pair that fit together perfectly from the get go. It happens over time and in my opinion they are Soulmates when they have had the chance to grow as individuals with each other. So no person has a soulmate waiting for them according to me.

ninja111222 · Answer

Soulmate is a complex term
First thing is we all are the children of evolution of thousand years
The concept of soulmate can be defined as the one who truly understands the feelings and is somewhat like supernatural in case of feelings which is practically impossible but is often possible due to the nature of person to adjust with situation
Hence simply put the person who is intillegent and smart enough to let go of mistakes and act kindly is soulmate of every other person who are in love

weareallmadhere30 · Answer

I do but i dont always think its a romantic soulmate. Everyone has someone they click with right away however i dont always think that soulmates are meant to last (friendship or otherwise)

wtf_richard · Answer

I’d like to believe it. But I can’t. I’ve met many girls in my life who I thought could be “the one”, but life happened and it was never the case. Now, the “perfect somebody” for someone else is different, and I believe that somewhere at sometime there is a perfect someone for someone else. But maybe they will never meet too

rmgnow · Answer

No. I don't think there is such a thing as a soulmate. I think we are all linked to each other and given the right circumstances anyone could love anyone, and anyone could be that person's soulmate

godfatherfan · Answer

Not the way I think you mean. I think there are many many people that you can end up having a very happy life with. I don't think there is just 1 person out there that you were meant to be with.

fauchelevent · Answer

No. I think some people are more compatible with people than others but there's no one perfect person out there for them.

ItsLarryTho · Answer

I feel like everyone should have a chance at a happy relationship, and perhaps everyone does have a soulmate, but they never met them due to things in their life that you may never know

zaza111 · Answer

I think this soulmate thing is rather just wishful thinking, I mean it would be nice to have soulmates, but I don't think there is such thing.

PinkishPink · Answer

If you're lucky one day you will meet someone who will change your life. You will wonder how was your life possible without them. You won't have to work hard on the relationship, things will fall in place easily. That's who I call a soulmate.

Seeing people’s answers on here... I don’t need that kind of negativity in my lfie. This is why most of you end up with people you realise you have nothing in common with or end up settling for whatever.

i dont think we have a soulmate but i do think we have people in the world (many of them) that we really connect with like a soulmate and you can just know when you have found one

Urstupid · Answer

There are people one may be more compatible with, but to say there's a single human being made for you just keeps you searching the rest of your life and never being satisfied
