Do you believe someone is meant for you?

Question

Someplace or sometime, you will be brought together?

If you mean the idea that there is only 1 specific person out there who you’re truly meant to be with - then no. There can be lots of people out there that you could end up with, be truly in love, and have amazing lives together with. I guess you could say you were meant to be with whoever you end up with, but trying to pin it on the idea of “fate” I don’t think is a healthy way to look at things. It kinda takes your power of free will out of the equation and can be demotivating to think that your options are so minimal. Like, you could be dating someone for a while, be truly in love with them snd the relationship is going great, but then you start second guessing it by thinking “But what if this isn’t the person I’m truly meant to be with?” It could also go the opposite way where you believe you’re with the person you were meant to be with, then the relationship ends and you’re left in a terrible mental state thinking “But they were the person I was meant to be with!”
I’m sorry if I misunderstood the concept of your question. I just think that the idea of being ultimately “meant to be with” a specific person could simply be said about whoever you end up with, after the fact, but in reality you have far more potential options, while you’re searching, than you think, considering just how many people there are out there.

I used to but now I realize it's fantasy. We choose who might be meant for us but there's no guarantee that it will last and you have to always keep in the back of your mind that it has a probable chance of not working out.

It's a nice romantic idea, but it's rarely that simple. Take, for example, Jewel. She's been with a number of men, married and divorced a couple of times, and was most recently linked to Kevin Costner. Which one of those men was "meant" for her?

The truth is that most people are TERRIBLE at picking partners, and people routinely pick people for very shallow reasons (and are often cheered on by their friends for doing so), which, predictably, doesn't have great long-term outcomes.

A relationship is going to take work and sacrifice and NO relationship is going to mean you're always going to be happy. Too many women believe the Disney fairy tale of "happily ever after" - but that's never been real life. In real life, even in a relationship, there will be times when you feel lonely, or bored, or frustrated, or afraid. Those are normal human feelings that everyone has at times, whether they're in a relationship or not. But we have all of these unrealistic, overly-romantic ideas of what a relationship is, fed by novels and movies and TV shows that aren't representative of reality, but people actually BELIEVE that crap, and are then disappointed when their real lives don't measure up. But no one's does.

No. The belief that there's someone for everyone is nonsense. Some people die alone (well technically everyone does). Approximately 1 in 4 people in the US are expected to remain single throughout their lives. 25% chance. That's really high.

Not everyone is lucky enough enough to find someone that they love and loves them back just as much. You can increase your chances of finding partners by making yourself a better person and attaining the qualities most people like in a person... hard working, honest, intelligent, fit, confident, etc. But even then, you're not guaranteed to find someone.

ohsheeT · Answer

But it all depends I Think there is probably many. But its how deep the connection. Is

And who you both are. How open you both are if you truly love yourself. Then you know how to love others and treat them the way you want to be treated. I would love to find someone just to do and experiment with.

AviatorTom · Answer

Nope. There are many people out there who might be good in a relationship. No one is "meant" for another.

Finchie40 · Answer

Yes, there is someone for everyone

Stevepro68 · Answer

I have to say I once thought so and was married for 14 years. Then I definitely felt that it's all BS humans have wide open accomodations for mating and pairing up. We easily fell like he\she is the "one". But then a very strange thing happened to me about 6 years ago. My girlfriend of 6 years was and is perfect for me. It's crazy but our crazy meshes together so well. I could write a story here about the unlikely things that came together to make our relationship work so well. Simply put every other relationship felt like imbalance. One of us was always was making accomodations sacrifices. Little ones but significant. When I think of the complex nature of our getting together and timing and how we are just different enough that our differences just compliment one another. On a planet of 9 billion people two people from different parts of the globe it just twists my logical mind to one inescapably obvious conclusion we were meant to be together now in our lives.

virgo2267 · Answer

I believe love can actually strike at an early age… all those “what could have been a” or “if only” moments could catch up with in the future I think we would be much wiser in the hopes it will one day happen.

I kept a souvenir from my first real date and have somewhat seen it from time to time among many things I’ve set in my storage that I wonder if that person would remember it as well if she still had hers, or happened to see one that resembled it.

We drifted apart due to school and other opportunities but sometimes I still feel I see her among the crowd.

That I am happy right now, doesn’t necessarily mean that there’s no other person who could make one happier or feel much more strongly about.:. I guess destiny was written the way it was intended to either way. Sorry for long comment, excellent question!

lorenzomichael · Answer

Yeah I guess I do. My problem is the women that are Currently in my life I’m just not feeling them like that. I mean there great I’m serious they are but there’s a little something off about two of them that I can’t put my finger on. And the other one it seems like she can’t understand that not everyone likes a certain thing that she seems not to be able to live without. And believe me it’s pretty stupid. But yeah I believe there’s someone for everyone we just have to keep looking good thing for me that I’m not ugly and that I have a great personality and sense of humor.

DonaldDarko · Answer

I sure hope not, it seems like a horrible fate on some level. To be nothing but some woman's mate, not to be myself anymore. I think there's a personal apocalypse in that. And for nothing more than to continue the species, go to seed and die. No thanks.

MisterWack · Answer

Someone is meant for me, I know this to be true. There is a someone for everyone , just as they continue to have hope and love in their hearts.

dustybiker2 · Answer

Even the most perfect fit will still be an adjustment. Two dof people coming together. But that is good. It keeps things interesting if handled well. Balance and respect keeps people afloat.

mysteriousN · Answer

nodecision while I could make some witty joke like undecided, I usually find my single existence works really well for me, so said much like the fictional Peter from OfficeSpace, it's really working well for me, so even if there is a select amount of women out there who could be a good match, - I seem to excel being single 🤭😄

Ironco · Answer

I believe you have to make your own someone. The belief that there is someone for everyone is bullshit.

You have to work at finding the right person, it takes time and sometimes tears and sweat to find them, but just keep looking. If you fail, keep trying.

I still believe that some day the right freight train will find me. Me and the front of that train are destined to be together... until they clean my remains off the tracks.

RHK36 · Answer

Nah that's pretty goofy and arrogant to think our lives are so special in that way. It's just fantasy. Relationships work because of chemistry, communication, respect and both parties actually wanting each other.

abc3643 · Answer

Yes, but in the sense like prison is meant for a criminal. The person for me is a way God is punishing me.

One specific person? No. I believe there are probably thousands of potentially great matches for me out of the four billion or so women on the planet.

jazzy34 · Answer

Seems like every man I like is either not interested or he's taken, lol.
