This statement made me laugh out loud because of the truth in it. Thanks.

<-- Hopeless romantic.

I don't believe in "soulmates" because doing so would mean I have to believe in either fate (which I do not), or that there is one person for everyone who is their soulmate. The only way to meet this soulmate without trying to attribute it to fate, is through random chance... and there is no way, no way at all, that so many people could randomly find what they call their "soulmate", assuming that's what they are. The odds are astronomical.

That being said, I do believe that for everyone, there is a set of attributes, a type of personality, a set of ideals, beliefs, thoughts, etc., which make them the "perfect" match for someone else... but there are very many of these. Not tons, mind you, but more than enough that you're likely to meet several in a lifetime.

So, that first time you look into their eyes, and you feel your heart sink when they smile, and you get all fluttery inside... and then you talk and hang out and discover they're "perfect"... it's because they might be your perfect compliment, in every way, having nothing to do with any notions of "soulmates".

For perspective, since others have mentioned it, I do believe in souls.

This is just another one of those things I wish people didn't insist on putting a label on. If they're perfect, if you can't imagine ever being without them, that's awesome... but i don't believe in the "soulmates are the exact one person for another" business.

Damn, that describes me pretty well.

I used to believe in soulmates,now I don't. I believe there are a number of people, that if you were to meet one of them, you would immediatly hit it off, and never want to be with another person again.

I thought I had found my soulmate(when I believed in them), until she left me three weeks ago, and told me that she no longer loved me and apparently hadn't loved me for at least several months previous. We had been together for over three years, and I never saw it coming. We never fought or anything. Our sex life wasn't that great, but I had put that down to some medications she was on(and still believe that was a large factor). Talk about a wake up call from a fantasy.

So now I find myself wondering if I will ever meet one of the women out there that I would just absolutely click with and want to spend the rest of my life with. But I doubt that it will happen anytime soon, or ever. And anytime that somebody tells me that I will meet someone else, that it's bound to happen, I can't help but think about how many lonely people there are out there right now, who have never been married, never will marry, and will live out the rest of their lives alone, because they never found someone to be with.
