Do you believe that some people really are destined to be together?

[beebella]

Yeah, some people are

I don't believe in that stuff

Something else

*shrugs*

[PositiveNote]

You know, I think some people traits are destined to be together. I don't believe any select two people are destined to be together. There are so many variables in a relationship – especially a permanent relationship — that it's only an initial icebreaker, really. After that, it's work! We work to keep good relationships! Doesn't matter if it's a loving relationship or business relationship, it's the same thing! We do things to maintain a relationship, and we try to do things to remedy a relationship if need be.

[SteveSmith1985]

I think so. It's totally irrational; mathematically indefensible; it's even a little silly.
Still... I still think so.

At least I really really hope so.

[Mollynotgemma]

Yes and I believe most people have the chance to find that person but miss it because of society, or disbelief, or the wrong time and not having the guts to leave a current partner.
I left my fiancé after 6 years after a chance meeting with someone one night. Didn’t cheat just had a connection and he found me on Facebook and I left my fiancé ans now been with my soul mate for two years amd have never experienced love like it.

[Anonymous]

I don't know if I would say "destined to be together", but I do think there are maybe only a handful of people we meet throughout the course of our lives who we just click with right off the bat. Relationships with these people just flow because you just naturally understand each other. My boyfriend and I are like that, and I am so glad our lives led us to one another, but I don't know if it's destiny per se.

[melanieeeB]

Yeah I do, can't really explain it but I believe that the things or people that were meant for you, will someday find you.. trust the timing of your life and keep going🙏 (cause I don't think all that will happen, when someone just sits around at home, lazy and isolated)

[dustybiker]

It could be true. That fiery love might happen more frequently if people didn’t let themselves become so devastated over past screw-ups.
Someone said here recently they think they might have told their soulmate to F-off. That might be the case of a lot of people.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i think some people are and its super possible your soulmate is across the world if not already right next to you. And i do believe everyone has one soulmate but that they have lots of people who come close and sometimes people settle for what comes close if they can't find that soulmate. I dont believe im settling. I feel I’ve come across whats right for me

[Browneye57]

More platitudes for the weak-minded.
No, there are many suitable prospects for a mate when your mindset is in the right place. And why you have to date to find them. That's the whole purpose.

All of these 'soul mate' and 'the one' are the same thing - false platitudes. And no, there's no 'destiny' - YOU get to decide what YOU want your life to be. Everybody wants to place blame outside themselves for where they're at. Accept responsibility for yourself, determine your own destiny, discern, decide. That's what action people do, the rest sit on the sidelines waiting for something to happen.

[Laura456]

Yes I believe this. The harder I try, the less likely it happens. It's like we're supposed to let the natural events bring two people close together, maybe the timing of where and when they meet and how they meet. It's also about where each person is at with their life in terms of whether they can commit or if they are are preoccupied with something else.

[t-8900]

yes, when you've found that right one that clicked and you lived your lives to the fullest together then how can that not be destiny? you were meant for each other in the end. no matter the flaws or shortcomings you both had the patience and understanding to work through them... because in the end you were always meant for each other and to be together.

[GaGirls]

No destiny doesn't exist. A better quote is this and if you can figure out its meaning and act according, you'll find love: “Those that go searching for love only make manifest their own lovelessness, and the loveless never find love, only the loving find love, and they never have to seek for it.”

[CuriousJC]

People are not destined to be together, it's nothing but a myth. Because after you get your heart broken numerous times over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, you realize nobody is meant to be destined to be together if they can't maintain a relationship within a few months. The only way for to be destined to be together is to find someone who never been in love before.

[MissEm96]

What do you mean out of interest in that last sentence when you say find someone who hasn’t been in love before

[CuriousJC]

@MissEm96 There are people out there focusing on different things from time to time since they were a child. Sometimes their art, sometimes their writing, sometimes their job work, sometimes their lifestyles, and they want to try new things they never tired before like falling in love. That is what I mean. You have to find someone who never been in love before and want to know what is love is like. That's the only way to know if you're actually destined to be together.

[Apulu_3]

Yes some people are destined to be together if they both are understanding towards each other and could clear out misunderstandings and if they trust each other so much that no one can break then apart.

[DonkeyDan]

I do believe that some people are destined to be together and maybe one day I'll find that person. I used to think I was destined to be with my ex wife, but the wheels fell off of that idea pretty quickly 🤣🤣

[Summer03]

It is so hard to tell whoever is truly destined to be my soulmate. Some are jerks. Some aren’t listens. Some has something I don’t want.

[Harleigh90]

Yes and no.. I'm all for destiny and fate.. But I always believe it won't you need to get up and try.

[TadCurious]

Bella I kinda sorta believe that. But not in the sense that it's ALL an external thing. I still think it also has to do with choices and efforts made by the 2 individuals. So I think it's kind of a blend.
😊🙋‍♂️

[NathanDavis]

I have been not worrying for two years now... we'll see, I will let you know if something happens... lol

love might knock at my door in the form of a UPS delivery girl

[JSmuve]

God no. That's some cheesey bullshit Disney fairy tale shit. Telling someone to wait, not do anything, and let "destiny" bring her to you is telling someone to sit on their ass until they're 45 and miss out on all the opportunities afforded to you in your youth that you'll never get again.

[exitseven]

I do not believe in destiny. I do think that it is possible to meet somebody that has such a similar life experience that it does seem like destiny. I married such a person.

[Flower7]

No, I don’t believe that. I’m not very optimistic about love in general.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I agree with that... Also, have you ever noticed two couples look alike
and people always make a remark even those couples are not related
they look good together

[Lucy68]

Yes because I believe in not only fate, but that there's someone out there to be our hearts other half. We all have that person out there

[AydenHazor]

I don't believe people are destined for each other out on soul mates. I believe that there are multiple people that could be a perfect match for any given person, of they both put in the work to maintain their love and relationship

[MissEm96]

My parents definitely were and there are a number of strange coincidences that lead me to believe me and my partner were. Whether we were meant to be together for the here and now I don’t know but I do believe in fate

[lilaccc]

yes, but i'll keep dreaming for now until miracle truly happens. lol

[LZPanzer]

Sappy sentiments like that merely exist to placate the undesirable trash.

I've wasted 10 years of my life waiting, 5 years actively searching. Got to say I don't see a difference in either method.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

That's the mentality my husband & I believe about each other.

[Dnice1]

Yes and that's exactly how my boyfriend and I feel about each other ❤

[CaptainSmartass]

Well, I do believe that certain people are are meant to be in a relationship and others aren't. I'm not sure about certain couples, though.

Simples...

[najekim]

Yup. According to a dear, close friend of ours who we believe has a touch of paranormal ability has told the wife and I that we will never be soulmates, but we were meant to be together regardless.

[G5TWA1]

quoting Daniel Sloss, "There are 7.5 billion people on this planet, and you found your soulmate 20 miles from where you live"

[SmokinAces2000]

Yeah, might sound cliche but I feel like me and my girlfriend were destined to be together

[ChiPaPa]

No. I do believe that some people are destined to be alone forever. Such as myself.

[Still-alive]

nah people just happen to click way better together than with others

[Somethingdiffer3nt]

I truly hope so... but lately I’ve been losing faith in love and the fairytale tbh

[WowwGirl]

Don't it's possible

[AndrewMG]

No, I mean where would be the fun in that. It's accepting each others imperfections that makes you truly fall in love with someone.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Sometimes the most unexpected is the most likely…. Is that right?

[TallAnon]

Not at all. I don't believe in destiny to begin with.

[leoftp]

no because you can feel the strong initial connection but both of you still need to put in the effort or else it ends

[Anonymous]

There's a saying. "If you truly love someone, set them free , if they returned it was meant to be". You can call that destiny I supposed.

[bobbymr]

i met my wife in my local pub about a mile away from my home she came from the philippines i wasn't going out that night but my mate kept saying i needed to get out more so i went and met her two years later we got married

[LonewolfMeme]

Aww.

[Kinkysportguy]

No but I do believe some people are meant to be alone.

[Anonymous]

Yes, and it's great if you both think and feel that way!

[RichSD]

Destiny is just a word. If you can't make your own choices in life, then what's the point?

[Ryfyle]

That's fucking stupid. Nothings free and lines like that are what cause some folks to off themselves.

[OddBeMe]

Destined by whom or what? Does the majority of this poll believe in some higher power twinning young lovers?

[Jay3344]

To say with certainty about destiny is to claim wisdom that I know of no human to possess.

[king-dom1]

Everything happens for a reason, maybe that's what destiny means to some

[Twalli]

Don't expect you will find that person. There's only 1 of about 7 billion people.

[DaveJord]

Some people for sure... others not so much.

[Jayplays900]

And if you wait, what if they never come? Does that mean you have nobody you're destined to be with?

[GASCAN2]

2 people? No.

If you believe that out of 8 billion people on the planet, only two are destined to be together, seek help.

[ArrowheadSW]

Sometimes it seems like it!

[Dsg1193]

All about compatibility

[Asianguy123]

I have heard of soul mate but then I have never seen them together. They told me that they broke up.

[Wiredone]

Yes some people are just meant to be together.

[Redeye2020]

Some people are together forever... just happens.

[zagor]

You make your own destiny.

[LonewolfMeme]

I feel like it’s true.

[Vigors]

I believe that I was destined to be alone forever

[Joker_]

lol you're literally @ChiPaPa

[Andres77]

When it happens there's no doubt

[SenseiSeptred]

It definitely happened to me.

[crazy8000]

I'm sceptical about the whole concept.
