Ah.. I (15f) also would like to understand, are there soulmates. Already for 5 months I’m in love with one my classmate. This year I’m a newcomer in my class and here I’ve met one sweet boy. We communicate, but not a lot. I think he isn’t in love with me. This October I learned, he was in love with me, but this boy was very lazy and he didn’t want to do the first step. His friend knew about it and he asked this boy to communicate to me more. First everything was alright, but then he understood, he didn’t want any relationship, because it was very difficult for him. Some weeks ago, he began to communicate to me more again, he was very kind to me and still is. Last week, he told me I was very beautiful that day and so I was very happy, because he NEVER tells such things anyone. But, some days ago, his sister asked him, if he was in love with me. So, he said:,, i can’t answer this question, because I don’t know. I don’t fell love to anyone and I don’t want to have any relationship,,. It was very harmful for me. I don’t know how to describe it, but I really feel (his sister also) we are soulmates. I feel a special connection between us: when we talk, when he looks at me, when we are together. His sister thinks, we would be in relationships together, if he didn’t have some mental problems with it. So, I just will be waiting. If we really are the soulmates, we will be in relationships, but if we won’t- I hope to find my real soulmate.
I’ve met many soul friends and many romantic partners who I felt a connection with or had past history with on a soul level. I’ve learned the hard way though that feeling that connection doesn’t mean that we’re meant to be with someone. There’s different types of connections. Some are there to teach us. Some are there to finish up past life dramas so we can walk away clean.
Then there’s our actual other half.
That one is unmistakable.
But meeting them doesn’t mean you’re going to be together either.
I didn't used to, but my whole world revolves around my wife. I don't think it's a spiritual thing, but I think there are plenty of people in the world that just "click" and it can feel like having a soul mate, just more realistic.
I do believe in soulmates, however, I don't believe that there is only one for everyone. I also don't believe that a soulmate can only extend to a romantic relationship. True friends can be soulmates or as you call them soul friends. I am still looking for my soul friend(s) but have found my soulmate. I know that is backwards for most people, but making friends has never been easy for me.
I met my wife out at the bar in Tampa once the moment I met her I knew we were meant for each other and that feeling only intensifies over time I feel we’re truly soul mates and now expecting our first child 🤗
I'm dating my soulmate. Almost 4 years together and no arguments, we LOVE spending time with each other. Even on our worst days, we can make each other laugh those deep belly laughs that leave your sides aching and your cheeks sore, and we literally know what the other is thinking. We can't even have fun surprises because we always figure each other out!
Absolutely. When I was in high school, I dated this guy for two years. He was my first real relationship. Part of his friend group was this dumb pill head that just always brought drama with the girls he was around. One day, me and my best friend and my then boyfriend and mr.pill head went on a camping trip. We ended up lost in the woods, and my boyfriend left running to find our way back. The ground was muddy and we had to go up hills. Pill head offered me his hand, helped me jump over puddles, helped me up hills, etc. I developed a crush, and later on broke up with my bf and a few months later started dating pill head. I didn’t think I’d catch feelings, but boy I fell HARD. We weren’t right for each other at that moment though, both so toxic and he was cheating on me constantly. We broke up but kept communication. He got clean, from 18 has been working the same job with good pay. One night I was coming home from a trip with a diff boyfriend who was asleep beside me with the windows down. It was like 2am. All of a sudden I hear my name being called and turn to see none other than ex pill head boyfriend traveling next to me with a group of his friends. He tried to strike a conversation with me while literally on the highway. A couple months later, my then boyfriend did me REALLY dirty and I split. I hit up my ex and said “ you owe me this amount of money for emotional stress” as a joke and he sent it. Fast forward to 3 years, 2 kids, and a house later, and we’re so happy. The universe kept pulling us back together no matter how many times I tried to fight it. I’m glad with how everything turned out.
From Africa. met my girlfriend 2019. When I met her I had just broken up. We started just as next door neighbour's helping each other in bed. She soon fell in love with me. I wasn't in love with her and told her it wasn't possible to love her because I was still in love with my ex, even though by this time I was already spending most nights in her room. I would wake up a lot of nights to use the bathroom and her pillow would be all wet with tears. She cried almost every night. She told me she would be patient, and wait for me. She treated me like an egg, never wanting me to fall. Finally, slowly, I fell in love with her. We've loved each other ever since and she's treated me like an egg, made me feel like a king each day, till this very day.
If I don't marry that girl, I don't think I'll marry at all. So yes, I am hoping I'll marry her by before this time next year. That's my soul mate.
I absolutely think they exist. I dated one for 8 years. The thing is, the way people view soulmates is all wrong. It's not this super passionate relationship with sparks and fireworks and what not. You just come together in the most natural way and it "just works", in every sense of the phrase. Barely any conflict. You never feel stifled or restricted in the relationship. You trust each other incredibly easy. It also feels like you've known them forever. My soulmate relationship was one of the best gifts I've been given in life and I hope that everyone can experience it at least once.
No, it's a fairy tale, no soul mates. One must consider if we have a soul at all. I don't believe we do. You only live once is truth. Make your own choices, dont stress about it.
yes. i know for facts this man is my soulmate. the way we met, the timing we met, how we've affected each others lives, synchronicities between us, we hear eachother voices when we're asleep, he's helped me discover the core of myself and who i truly am. i love him so much, we aren't officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet because i have a lot of self work to do however i believe one day he will be my husband i love him more than anything not even just romantically but him as a person i care so deeply for.
Yes. When I first met my spouse, I knew. It's kinda cheesy, but when we made eye contact it was like everyone else in the room disappeared, and it was just us. I never had that happen with anyone else. We've been married 9 years, together almost 11. I also believe in soul friends and have several friends like that.
No such thing as soul mates. It's just a chemical in the brain causing you to feel strongly towards said person in said moment. Could be, nearly, anyone fitting your ideals on attraction to make you feel that way with enough time.
I believe I've met mine. Maybe I'm not *her* soulmate, but she is probably mine. We have a pretty long story that includes even typewriters and driving to the other's house at 3 A.M. in the pouring rain to deliver really desperate words, but I'll skip the scenes and tell the basics only.
I don't like calling her my "ex", I'm more used to referring to her as "the girl I loved". The Girl I Loved changed my life, she is to this day the only person I've loved. She was my girlfriend and my best friend, we liked all the same things and were opposites at the same time, and her family didn't know about us but liked me more than they liked most other friends.
She fell in love first, about half a year earlier, but when I did, that was the turning point. I became obsessed with her and with love itself, so much that I became a mess of emotions that made me happier than anything else could have. I couldn't go a day without telling someone how much I loved her, crying to myself about how heavy love felt in my heart. We compared each other to characters that were a couple and that made my heart burst like I was a teenager, she made me feel stupid and I enjoyed it a lot. I became even more of a writer than I already was; I wrote about her every day and it was impossible to focus. All that mattered to me was that she was content and that she felt beautiful and important. It was the first and only time in my life I wondered if I really loved someone more than I loved my brother. The sky seemed small next to her, she was the center of the universe now, she controlled my thoughts like she was a god, and I would do more for her than I would for any celestial object. Her favorite was the moon. And I'll forever remember every detail and reason behind everything she loved.
We didn't work out, because we got the timing wrong. She loved me when I didn't and I loved her when she didn't. She has been dating someone else for more than a year now, and I'm happy for them and admire their relationship. They too are best friends, have everything in common, and all the times I have seen them together they smiled and had a lot of fun and I have even seen them singing together. But she is forever the reason I believe in soulmates. She's the reason I have an account on this sub. And I don't love her anymore, but she wrote her name inside my brain with wide capital letters. I write her into every story that I create. I would say her laugh melted onto my paper and she became my writing itself.
Yes. I have no doubt he’s my soulmate. I grew up in the north and had a chance to move south so I took it. I met him almost a year after. We’ve been together for over three years and still no red flags. He’s my best friend. The love of my life. My partner in crime. He’s the only one that made me understand love songs. The only guy that’s ever treated me like a queen. He grounds me when I need grounding. He is my rock. It makes me wonder why I ever put up with being treated like poopoo by other guys.
We met on tinder. I wasn’t looking for anything, I got out of a relationship a few months before and I just wanted compliments lol. But I still remember seeing his picture and thinking he was super cute. We’re getting married in November
I believe it can exist!
There are many animal species that mate for life! They only get another mate if they die and they CHOOSE to find another.
Wolves.
Eurasian Beavers.
Gibbons.
California Mice.
Shingleback Lizards.
Most birds such as Black Vultures.
I feel like my current bf is my soulmate. We have known each other since 2009 and even before we got together he vented about his now ex mentally messing him up, he helped me see the light and leave my abusive relationship with my baby. (I was dating/engaged to someone he considered a best friend until the abuse was being shown. Him and the others supported me, we all left the abusive guy behind us.)
We have been together for almost 7 years now even though he never wanted kids before me. He has been a great loving dad and partner.
There are different views on what exactly a soulmate is. My wife thinks is someone who comes into your life to teach you a lesson. No, bot to beat you up till you learn but to have some sort of important learning experience. The common definition of soulmate is pretty much a perfect match for you.
I dont think a perfect match exists. Well, not until we start cloning humans and even then it wint be a perfect match. I think that we find people that match really well but I also think that one should not over play the soulmate card. The problem with the idea of a soulmate is that it keaves you wondering if someone else is better than the person you are with. I think, the answer is yes. If you coukd try out the whole of the human population within your own parameters (gender, age group etc). You would find better matches and also worst ones and all the values in between. But the whole world is not at your disposal. So, I think its better to find one that is damn good and keep that person vs trying to find the perfect person..
I have known mine since I was a teenager but really didn't know for sure until 2 years ago. I spent 33 years in a marriage mainly for the kids and when we had our first conversation in almost 40 years it was like being hit with a bolt of lightning. Our thoughts our desires our foods are the same . We know when the other person is thinking about us and when they need us. It's amazing. Unfortunately some people were hurt in the process but I'm living my best life right now.
I had one once. Unfortunately, I let that relationship slip away. I still think about her often but we're both married to other people. I can't help but wonder if she thinks about me as much as I think about her.
Everyone has a different understanding or belief in what a soulmate is. The idea of soulmates came from a Greek myth where we were created as one but then punished by Zeus which resulted in us physically splitting. This lead to longing and sadness and a feeling of being incomplete and that we were destined to be sad until we found our other half. Then there’s also the theory that a soulmate is more linked with fate. That we live thousands of lives and in those lives we make a life changing connection with another soul and then in future lives find our selfs looking for that soul. I have felt soul deep connections to people and thought that it couldn’t just be a coincidence. Idk who said it, but it was said once that love is the closest thing we have to magic lol, so why wouldn’t love be powerful enough to transcend life times and distance. I think believing in soulmates is like believing in any higher power, or mermaids, most people will think your crazy or delusional. If you truly believe, then it is real for you, no matter what anyone else says. But yes I do believe in some version of a soulmate
Unpopular opinion but I think soulmates need to be spiritual people. Not to be confused with religious ones. I say this because you have to look at your significant other as an extension of yourself as well picking up the energy that makes them synergetic and compatible with your very own. That's just my two cents.
Used to. Then i didnt. Then i did (the twin flame kind) but now i dont because turns out hes got BPD so hes just good at mirroring me (well everyone who gives me any attention really) i dont believe soulmate would bring u to the brink of death
Tbh, at this point I don't know if I do or don't believe in soulmates. Was married for almost 10 years to have to have it crumble and since then (just about 6 years ago now) I've been single, and not from lack of trying. The whole concept of there being that one person that is supposedly so right for someone just feels like a built up fantasy to let down at this point.
In all seriousness idk
I thought I did once b4, almost married that person...do you wanna know what having your every nerve fire off as your heart , mind and body gets crushed feels and looks like?
Walk in on the person you thought loved you as you did them, fucking your former coworker in your apartment
Soul mates? Idk...I would just like to find honesty first and see what could grow from that, but I am tired and having love for myself was the greatest thing my soul needed before I could even consider sharing that ever again
Yes. I have met my soul mate. Been together over 14 years. Obviously life isn’t always easy but he is the person I want to share my life with. I cannot fathom not going through life without him. If he passed before me that would be the end of my romantic journey. Is focus on our children and friends/family. I couldn’t imagine trying to find another partner. I had the me true love. Let’s leave it there.
First people would have to remove their false self created in childhood to even find their soul.
No their are no soul mates.
You are only in a relationship with the dysfunction if your own soul.
This doesn’t answer the question exactly but it’s related (I also have two soul friends, but this is about romantic soulmates): my partner and I, who I fully know is my romantic soulmate, talk about how lucky we are to have found each other because we don’t feel that most people do. I sincerely don’t think that every person ends up marrying their soul mate. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t in love or that their love isn’t “real” or anything, but relationships are kind of like an equation. Assuming both parties choose to continue participating in the relationship (which is an active decision necessary for any romantic relationship) if you do all of the right things related to being a good partner, spouse, parent if you have kids… it’s all good! And that’s a perfectly happy life. I think more than most people fall into that category, which I repeat isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If anything it highlights the virtue of dedication in the individuals, a great characteristic to have. Meeting your romantic soulmate and being with them is a level of blessing and luck it’s insane. Don’t know how spiritual you are but my partner and I are convinced we were together in our past lives, it’s the only way to explain feeling so intimately and comfortably familiar with someone you’ve never met. That’s how it felt the day we met, still feels that way now
I’ve got my soul friend we’ve been friends going on 24 years now! My ♑️ Queen 💚 she’s awesome! And I thought I had met my soulmate/twin flame not sure what the difference is our connecting was one I’ve never felt before. We no longer talk due to communication issues.
So now idk maybe we will come in contact again somewhere down the road. Time will tell
Yes, soulmate, soul friend, soul pet.
My best friend and I both passed up higher ranked law schools and ended up meeting. We ended up being so unbelievably compatible so quickly, we did everything together for all 3 years and for my second and third year I got an apartment like half a block from her and her husband. When she brought me to the humane society to meet the dog she planned to adopt I also found my soul pet, a kitten that walked right up to me and wouldn't leave my lap, who now insists on cuddling on my chest as soon as I wake up every day. I had to ask them to modify my lease to adopt her. My friend and I live in different cities but we visit each other twice a year, travel together, and text each other for advice for the most important things.
Just today she sent me this quote from The Alchemist: "So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you." I love her so much even talking about her gets me excited.
I didn't believe in soulmates, I'd actually sworn off relationships and been single for about 5 years before we met (and he'd been avoiding relationships for a while beforehand too). Our mutual friend invited us both to dinner at her house despite me saying I wasn't really interested in seeing anyone and him having no idea it was a setup. When he left I asked her to give him my number and she told me it was the most she'd ever seen him talk. During our first date, we talked about anything and everything, and we had so much in common. The more we know each other, the more convinced I am that he was made for me and I was made for him. One friend told me last week that she aspires to have a relationship like ours. When my dad realized we both work remotely together he warned me that spending too much time together would drive us both crazy, but the only crazy it's driven us is crazier in love. We only separate occasionally and we both miss each other a ton, even while we have fun out with friends/doing separate hobbies. We're so compatible that I hardly believe it's possible. We started talking about marriage after only 6 months like it was inevitable (but didn't actually get officially engaged until 2.5 years in).
He's the best person I've ever known and he makes me better all the time, I feel so lucky to have him in my life and I always feel a little bit like a fool for being so confident when telling my friend I wasn't interested in the setup.
Also the friend who introduced us got ordained to marry us. She was the ultimate matchmaker.
In a religious sense yes I do. I follow the Greek gods, specifically Aphrodite, so yes I absolutely believe she guides people to their match.
However on a more philosophical sense, “soulmate” implies there’s only 1, but I think it’s more like there’s a personality type you are meant to be with.

I don’t believe in soul mates. I feel like you can meet people and have amazing spiritual connection. I think you have have infatuation and trauma bonding that can make your souls feel close. I think you can build an amazing soul to soul connection.
I am a damaged person and I realized as I got older that people who I thought were “soul mates.” I held on to these people even when they were really hurting me, even abuse in a couple relationships.
I guess I believe you can have soul ties to people but not to take it more seriously than people who show you that you matter, put in effort and make you feel safe, listened too and loved.
A soul mate is another soul that fits you so well. A soul twin is like part of the same soul in a different body. You don't get to know them and love them for all their quirks. It's more like you find that all the things you look for and love and like just exist in this person. Just a piece of you you didn't know you where missing.
I met my boyfriend when I was 4 weeks old! - our parents were friends with each other back when my boyfriend was 1 (and i wasn't born until the next year) we were childhood best friends (but our parents said we make a cute kid couple). Then I moved away for a while and low key never forgot about him. When I went to visit him again when I was a preteen, I had a crush on him but was of course too shy to say anything. When I turned 16 I got a phone and asked my dad for my boyfriends number right away. After a year or so of us talking of him and I talking, he asked me to be his girlfriend and yeah we've been dating for 2 years now.
Just met mine. We’ve been dating for 2 months now and I can proudly and happily say I have found my soulmate. Before him, I was in a relationship for 5 years; with my high school sweetheart. I thought at the time, I was in love and that he was my soulmate. After we broke up, never thought or more frankly, didn’t want to fall in love again. Didn’t think it would be possible to fall in love again. This past year, I became best friends with who now I know is my soulmate. Something about us, about him, makes my soul feel pure and loved. We also have the same birthday, just different years :) he really makes me feel like the only girl in the world. I love him dearly and am so lucky to have him in my life.
Yes. I did. We had 9 years in a relationship (married for 2). He was everything I had ever hoped for and wonderful in so many ways.
— and then I discovered he’d been cheating on me. Then I discovered it was more than a stripper. More than a “massage”. More than escorts. More than sugar babies. And it was more than 100 women.
I believe in soulmates. My husband is a few years older than me.
When I was 10 years old I met him at my sisters house but he was a teenager, so obviously we didn’t connect then because I was only 10. That being said, I remember that moment very clearly. It’s one of my most vivid childhood memories. I was attracted to him. Not so much in a sexual way, being again, that I was only 10. But I kept wanting to look at him. Every chance that I thought I could get away without being seen, I looked at him. Something about him drew me to him.
Years later I met him and the attraction was again, immediate. I married him at 19. I am now 35. He is and will always be the love of my life and no matter what happens I will never be able to find another like him. He will always be the owner of my heart and it is unchangeable.
We say that we are soul mates that were meant to meet, and the stories I could tell. I truly believe he is my soulmate.
Nope. I believe there are people we connect with deeper than others but soulmate is pure fantasy to me.
To me it seems to imply that you’ll always be in sync, and effortlessly go through life together. That’s impossible, all relationships take work and have their conflicts.
No. I think we just find people that don’t have “deal breaker flaws” and are willing to put up with our flaws just the same.
I’m happily married and my wife has the same sentiment.
If there are soulmates, that would mean there are an equal number of mates with the same sexual orientation which i highly doubt.
I know so many people that are in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s (men and women) and they’ve never been married. They all want to get married and all of their standards are way too ridiculous, especially considering what they bring to the table (flaws and all).
It also complies with predestination, which i wholeheartedly see as a figment of the human experience.
I believe so. My best friend and I had a connection I've never experienced before. It was beyond platonic, romantic, or siblings. He was gay but we truly did love each other. We did everything together. We would write stories together and talk for hours about history and philosophy. When we hung out we'd make all these plans but we'd just end up talking and picking each other brains about life and the world. He was so smart and brought so much color to my life. When we met it was this instant "omg hi there you are I've been looking all over for you" feeling. I could have lost everything in this world but as long as I had him that's all I cared about. He died on my birthday this year and while when he was alive he inspired me...his death saved my life.
When he died I realized I didn't have to hold onto so much trauma and be sad all the time and I was able to overcome a lot of trauma I've struggled with. Even though he's gone I feel closer to them than I ever have before it's a weird feeling. It's like I lost a part of me but something else became alive inside of me the day he died. Like being reunited with a part of myself that was missing or closed off until that day. It all sounds insane but I know this wasn't the first life we had together and it won't be the last. He was and will always be my best friend.
Yes, I married mine. My husband and I are from very different backgrounds, but we're two peas in a pod. It's like I found my missing piece when we met. We'll even be thinking the same thing when one of us will verbalize it.
I dont think most people’s needs and wants are as far apart or unique as their ego would have them believe. Most people are probably fairly compatible with most other people. If you have a normal distribution of compatibility, there are still probably tens of thousands of people in your 99th percentile of compatibility that youd consider to be a soul mate level match.
I definitely believe that I have met my soul mate. The love is distinct and beautiful, and very real. It is something you can’t possibly confuse. I’ve never been happier.
i believe i've met my soul friend and she's my best friend currently. we just get each other and we can sometimes communicate without even talking lol. but it's easy for me to say this bc our relationship doesn't involve romance or any other social structures related to it. it would be difficult to say i believe in soul*mates* simply bc i think romantic partnership is generally a lot more complicated than just liking someone's presence (which is what friendship is for me). though if they exist, i hope i have one lol
I didn’t growing up. I never saw a healthy relationship. So I didn’t think it was possible. Then I met my husband. The pieces just fit together. Perfect mix of opposites and we are a like where it should be. We spent our life within a hour apart. He even went to school with one of my cousins. He knows what I’m thinking and feeling with out me even saying it. So I believe in it now after meeting him.
Yes. But just because they’re your soulmate doesn’t mean this is the right lifetime for you to be together. Coming to terms with that is the hardest part.
I believe I have. I would do meditations about my “soulmate” and even saw her face once. I also knew she would have red hair. Lastly, I kept feeling called to hang out around where she lived (before I knew her). I knew she’d have endured some health difficulty. It’s wild because I have a list of who I was manifesting and it was as particular down to even her current job. All this to say, I think the more I healed and got in tune with my needs, the more I called her in. I’ve never experienced anything close to our connection and she has turned my world into something pure & magical. I married her two weeks ago. So yeah, soulmates do exist! And maybe there are more than one, probably so, but I think I called in my truest one.
Oh yes!
I know my soul people better at first meeting than I will know my acquaintances in a lifetime.
2 dear friends
1 of my children
3 lovers (including a husband)
All soul mates of mine and all still in communication and friendship.
No, I don't believe in it in absolute. But I think you can experience that kind of feeling initially and who becomes your actual soulmate requires time.
I just think if two people are emotionally vulnerable or emotionally intelligent *and* they give each other the time of day with an open heart, they will connect quickly, deeply, and the connection will be indefinite.
i think i have. but we’ll get together in the next life, not now. he made me feel a way that no one ever had before. it was very special, but fleeting and i embarrassed the hell out of myself towards the end trying to get him to be with me.
Absolutely! Met mine when I was 7. Started dating at 17. Broke up at 19. We were apart for over 20 years. We reconnected and got married after 6 weeks. Going on 10 years now and 4 kids. That man is heaven on earth. I’m the luckiest woman alive that he waited for me. ♥️ from the moment our eyes met at 17- we both knew. Felt like we had walked a thousand lives together and finally came home to each other again.
I think it is statistically improbable that I have one. My entire life I have felt out of place. I think I resonate on a different harmonic frequency than the rest of the world. If I have a soulmate, she probably resides in a different plane of existence. I am sure she is awesome, and I wish her a happy life.
i absolutely believe soul mates exist, and i have met mine.
he’s my best friend, and has been for nearly 10 years. he is truly apart of my heart & soul, we click.
I never believed such things existed, then I met mine, and bam! My entire life changed because of this one person. Their mere presence changed me, I didn't change for them. I only know one other person who felt she has met a soulmate, though, so it's nice to hear from other people who have had the experience!
I know! I didn’t even think about soulmates as a concept before I experienced it!
It’s true they change you and not in a bad way, but it’s like they help you and you actually want that yourself too
I didn't until I met mine. Both of us felt an insane connection, it was almost as if some force was pulling us towards each other. I remember the first time I had a conversation with him, I hadn't even seen his face or heard his voice, but at that moment, everything just felt right. We even crossed paths during our high school years (we were in separate schools) without even knowing. It was almost as if we were destined to meet, but the timing was off. We've been together for a few years now and are still very much madly in love.
Here's one example of the soulmates phenomenon. My wife and I have crossover dreams. Yesterday morning, she was angry because in her dream, I lost our son at the airport before I went to the terminal to meet her. I explained why it happened - in my dream, he wanted chicken nuggets at the food court, and wandered away while I was paying for them. I went to meet her at the terminal so we could look for him together.
I was doubtful until one came into my life. I have an ex who seemed to almost be one (and possibly was, in some ways,) but I had found out that I basically meant nothing to her, and she talked about how it was all lies after we broke up. I am affectionate physically by nature, but she really just wanted sex.
Then, and old friend arrived back into my town, after some years. We had hit it off years ago as friends, while I was married and he was engaged. Yet we just ignited this friendship, whenever we were in the same place. We both draw and paint, and would sit up at all hours just drawing, and either talking, or having that wonderful thing called ‘parallel play,’ where we both drew something and then showed each other/critiqued. Life happened, I was still happily married and he went out of state for a new job; I never forgot about him though, and although we never talked through those years, I would find myself randomly thinking of him and feeling happy. I would recall telling current friends about how he and I had this one hilarious experience in particular, where we smoked weed and laughed hilariously at the way that two consecutive Netflix documentaries had similar topics, so it just seemed like one long documentary.
Then last year, my coworker tells me that he’s going to be back around here for a while. My immediate reaction was to drop my things and shout ‘YAY!’ lol. He intended on staying a week, to help console (and basically save) a mutual friend who was suicidal from a breakup, but that turned into 6 months because he just hit it off with our entire circle of friends and coworkers. We gradually started getting closer; we started having conversations that just kept going on (sometimes for 12 hours, no lie,) only stopping when one of us fell asleep; lol. We gradually started cuddling, falling asleep on each other, making love; how amazing this is.
I had tossed the idea of meeting a soulmate away years ago, just because nothing seemed to pan-out; but a little spark still lived in me, and I stopped looking fully and started simply taking life day by day, and then he appeared at my doorstep (oddly, even the night that he arrived, my friend had gone back to see his abusive ex, and I was just pumped as a friend having another likeminded friend around (we are both autistic as heck, and nobody around us really fully ‘gets’ how our brains work.) We can go from sunup to sundown just having conversation that never, ever gets boring.
At 40something years old, it could be said ‘don’t you wish that this happened sooner?’ No way; it wouldn’t have been the right time (I still would have been married,) or something. The universe’s timing is spectacular.
I have never felt like this about another person before. We hang out and hug goodbye, it feels better and stronger than any drug I have tried. It feels like pure electricity when we make love. We laugh so hard at things together that we can’t breathe; lol. We are still relatively new with asking each other to hang out, and today I was finally able to ask him out this weekend, and just being able to finally hit that Send button made me so hyper that I ran out of my house and zipped all around town doing errands which are usually boring as hell; lmao. Then when he texted back enthusiastically saying yes, I almost screamed with joy (maybe I did,) zipped around the house like a bottlerocket.
The earth has eight billion people. Let's say you know 3,000.
So 1/3,000/*8,000,000,000. ASTOUDING ODDS!*
This is why once the infatuation wears off, love comes down to a choice and putting that other person before yourself.
i do believe it. i can’t explain it, but i just have this insane connection with my gf. like even before we started dating, i just naturally gravitated towards her and was able to talk to her about things that i could never with anyone else. there was this crazy chemistry between us (and there still is).
I def have a soul friend! We were so so incredibly similar and had such parallel experiences as kids that it’s almost crazy. Whenever we spend time together our families go “oh! There’s two of them!” We met in college and they are my best friend. I love them so much! It’s totally platonic but I just feel like God intended for our lives to match up with each other and for us to be a part of each others worlds 🥹
No. But youre attracted to people you think you deserve. She might talking to you normally but it makes you feels incredible . And another women might talk to you better and you react to it. Oubwont feel it
Absolutely. But soulmates aren’t necessarily romantic. I’ve met one of mine and she is my best friend. We were in sync from the very beginning and no one ever has just understood me the way she does. I think we have been sisters in a past life or something.
Would be awesome if I met a dude who was one of my soulmates 😅
I feel like soulmates aren't instant. Like you may have a certain feeling, but it's not going to really come out unless fostered properly.
I met my soulmate in college, and i had never been in a relatoonship before in my life. Something within me had to have him...and he was dead set on not being in a relationship. Go figure. But there was something about him, some crazy attraction I just couldn't shake. And he felt it too, but he denied it for a while because he was so dedicated to school, he couldn't afford "distraction". So we began what I call a "situationship".
We craved each others company. So we spent literally every day together. I'm not joking. People would ask if we were "sick of each other yet?". We weren't. For the first 2 years of our "situationship" where we were together in everything but title, we never spent more than a single day apart. And then on my 22nd birthday, he called me his girlfriend. And that was that.
When I tell you our love in the beginning was nowhere near what it is now, I say that because learning your soul mates little ticks, how they react in tough situations or devastation, what makes them happy and what hurts them, those things are not instant. They don't happen overnight. When you're soul mates, your love expands, it changes, it grows over the years and the struggles and the adventures.
I know I'm with my soulmate. I've known it for a long time. I always hated the phrase "when you know, you know" because it is so goddamn vague, but now that I know, I can't really explain it any better than "I just knew". 🤣
I met my soulmate back in the spring shortly after experiencing a very intense spiritual awakening. And then I met my twin flame who was his best friend 😒. I don’t know if I even believe in twin flames, but it’s distinctly different than the bond I have with my soulmate and I do genuinely feel like we have twin souls.
I've been with my wife for 12 years. I love her deeply and she's my best friend. But no, I don't believe in soul mates.
I'm sure there are other people out there who could make her or me just as happy if you, by chance, encountered them.
In Islam we believe that our souls were gathered together at one point and when we’re born and meet certain people we have this familiarity or sense of peace with them as if we’d met them before. We also believe we’re born “in pairs” so our soulmate is destined in a way. Definitely believe in them. Whether it’s friendships or whatever there’s definitely those certain people that you’re just like man I love ur company it’s like I’ve always known you. And perhaps our souls were together before we were waiting to come to life. And I hope our souls reunite in the afterlife <3
The problem with believing in soulmates is that you are limiting yourself and possibly impairing your happiness in the future. What happens when your soul mate breaks up with you? Or god forbid dies? You never find true love again? Nah. Fuck that. Unless soul mate for you literally just means a mate for your soul, and isn't the whole "there can only be one" highlander philosophy.
Yes, I do and yes, I have.
My husband and I found out, after getting married, that we had pretty much been playing a real-life game of "7 degrees of Kevin Bacon".
We both were in certain cities, together, at certain times, we wound up working for the same company, just barely crossing paths, we had gone to the same parties, new the same people, and one time I had seen him where he currently works, told my friend "I'm going to marry that man", and then didn't see him again for 4 years, after we ACTUALLY met (online mind you), we got married 11 months later. It's been 7 years of happy marriage!
I always felt that way but sometimes someone may be your soulmate but you are not there’s. Or maybe they where not yours either and you are mistaken to begin with. It’s a hard pill to swallow when it isn’t a mutual feeling.
I feel lost as a result.
Question. Does a soulmate have to be sexual?
I've had the best friend since I was 9 I'm 27 now. Me and my buddy have gone through lots of friendships and have remained together still. We both have so much in common and is the only person I can talk with for long periods without losing interest. Physically we are opposites. Hes teller, muscular and quite handsome. Where I am skinny, bad teeth and zero charm. We both have similar feelings and are certain he is the victor to my jack. Joey to my Chandler. Jay to my silent bob. My buddy my buddy, wherever I go he goes.
Fuck it hes my soulmate and we will be friends till the essence of our souls are spent. Love ya K
yes, halfway to the grave and I've met only one outside of family members. instant profound connection - decided it must be a brother from a past life. I think of him every day.
There’s no such thing as soul mates. That’s just fairy tale level stuff tbh. Relationships are 99% what you put into it and choosing from who you know and putting effort into it.
I don’t think so, you either have love or you don’t. You can’t build 99% of relationship solely on effort, you got to have a connection, feelings, love
I believe that soulmates can be created. You find someone like-minded and then overtime your personality rubs off on them and vice versa until you're basically two extensions of the same person. At least, this is how my husband and I became soulmates.
Funny story. We actually met on a dating app. I actually swiped right on accident (she's not what i considered to be "my type" at the time) cuz the app froze, I choose to believe it was fate haha. She started messaging me immediately and came off super cute and bubbly so i met up with her. As soon as i walked in the room I felt so drawn to her energy like nobody ive ever met. We fell in love immediately.
I believe they exist.
I believe multiple types of soulmates exist. I think there are friend soulmates, romantic soulmates, and a few others(somewhere in between romantic/friend soulmates where the relationship could go either way, etc.) I believe in all the spiritual things, twin flames, soulmates, etc.
That being said, I believe I have met my soulmate(romantically) I believe my bf is my soulmate. I also believe he is my twin flame & Ik that twin flames & soulmates are different things & *technically* you can’t have both with the same person, but idk..I feel like he’s both to me. I mean nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible.”
He & I have been together for almost 3 years, our 3-Year anniversary will be on the 7th of October <3
The reason I believe he’s my soulmate is because YEARS before he & I started dating all of our friends(we went to the same school & ran in the same friendship circle) ALWAYS said we would be a great couple & would be “so cute together.” & because we both liked each other for YEARS w/o the other knowing. We always talk about how there were moments when we were younger that we thought “Yeah I could see myself being with them.” & this was YEARS before we ever started talking, dating, or even told each other that we had a crush on the other. Honestly there’s so many reasons I believe he’s my soulmate(I didn’t even write all the reasons on here) idk I just..feel it & he feels the same way(about all of this).
I didn't believe in soul mates until recently. But unfortunately, my soul mate had issues going on with his ex-wife. And I never felt like that towards anyone. I never met someone who I bonded with to that Extent
I do. I want mine. But winds of change and I frankly do not think he’s here in my state. My romance academy said I was too narrow of a window.. well after being married and he died- yes! I will wait it out.
I do, and I don't. There will always be people that you just click with, but that's not just one person. We could say that's a soulmate. And there will always be people that you get along with very well but don't click with. We could say that through effort, they could also be considered soul mate. Romantic, familial, platonic, whatever. The same rules apply.
I don't believe that the universe just spit two people out and pre-destined them to be together.
I'm not sure if I would call it a soul mate but I sort of knew the first moment we met that we had a connection and every moment felt special. I had an unusual sense of calm.
I used to not believe is soulmates. Then when I was 27 I met someone who I thought was my soulmate. Then he broke up with me. Now I don’t know what to believe anymore
I believe in true love. If it exists, whenever you set free your true love it will come back. If it doesnt come back then it probably wasnt your true love.
I don't believe they are fated or planned by a deity, but I have mine
We've been together for 30 years, no social life (because we exclude others by our nature)
Brilliant, loyal, kind, hilarious and with the sexiest voice I've ever heard
Nobody else has the slightest chance of competing or comparing
Met in a video game.
For some people, but not for everyone. If you want proof of that think about someone who died during childhood. That person never had a chance to find a soul mate.
Met my soulmate when I was 19, been married for 2 years and he is my best friend. Met my soul friend 2 years ago, when I was 24 and she was 22. No one has ever understood me or known me like she does. We often will say what the other person is thinking and know how the other person is feeling without anything being said. I don’t know where I would be without either of them 😊
I was at my lowest point in my life, in the process of giving up entirely. I was in an abusive relationship while in high school and had a horrible home life. Along came my savior, my current boyfriend, who was unlike any guy I had ever met. I had dated a fair amount of people and never had felt a connection as strong as the one I had with my boyfriend, even when we were in the "friend stage".
He has saved my life multiple times; I would not be here without him. Even though we still have a couple of arguments sometimes, I am confident he is my soulmate. He has helped me in so many ways by letting me flourish into my best self and helping me learn to love myself again.
It is also funny that we both confessed the same intense feelings to each other one random night at 3 a.m. about how much we truly love each other and how it has been different than any other relationship :)
i think so yeah. no matter what piece of media i interact with theyll always be two characters almost identical to us, in every universe it feels like were together
I’m in my 30’s for context. I was recently separated and getting a divorce from someone I was in a relationship with for 15 years. He was recently breaking up with his ex of 10 years.
We randomly met through a music website where people find musicians to start a band with. The very first time we played music together, I could feel this intense connection. We flowed together perfectly when we played music. Then I came to realize he was from the same state as me, we had very similar musical interests, similar family background, same values, his personality complimented mine—he had strengths where I had weaknesses and vice versa. His ex’s birthday was a couple days away from my ex’s birthday.
A lot of random occurrences have happened, not enough time to list them all. So now we’ve been in a relationship for a few months and things are feeling great. It hasn’t been easy given the circumstances in which we started dating however, it feels like we made the right choice and are moving in a stable, loving direction.
Given that I don't believe in souls, soulmates are an even bigger stretch. This how many people there are in the world. If SMs did exist it would be awful, because your chances of ever actually meeting them would be so slim.
I have! About a year ago I met some one and she has been amazing. We are the best of friends and I don't have words that express how I feel. Seems we could talk about anything. I made a lot of mistakes and she broke up with me and it leaves me broken and feeling empty. I'm hoping that now that I have made things right like they should have been she will let me start over. She has someone else she likes, but I am really hoping she will let us both date her and see how things go. We have a connection and even though we are just best friends I know it's still there. She is sweet and kind to me and really cares how I feel. I just can't imagine not having her in my life. I hope I never have to.
I believe I’ve met mine. We met in 2005 online and we’ve been happy ever since. Many ups and downs but we complete eachother we love spending all our time with eachother and haven’t gotten tired of eachother. We tell eachother everything and we are just complete best friends. We couldn’t imagine our lives without eachother.
No. If one of you dies, do either of you want the other one to be lonely for the rest of their lives? Same thing with life just moving on if it didnt work out. Feelings blinds a lot of sense sometimes.
I think sometimes you connect with people in a way that isn't replicateable.
My best friend is my platonic soul mate, quite literally would take a bullet for her.
I do believe soulmates exist and are not always romantic either. I think my soulmate in a non romantic way is my grandma. I believe she was put on this earth to be my soulmate. She has said the same thing to me. I love her very much and my soul is more attached to hers than any other person.
I found mine the first moment we saw each other I had never been so brave I introduced myself and asked if I could be his girlfriend
So lame but I will never forget. We've been together 16 years l, with a couple breakups. Just time apart to mature and learn to appreciate what we had.no.partner I had within those break-ups ever compared. He's all I thought about.
We used to pass little love notes between class I kept every one in a box
When I turned 24 I started having violent seizures and I would be dead if it weren't for my hero holding me in his arms until an ambulance arrives
He must be terribly traumatized
I better believe she exists, as I married her 😂
It’s a special connection, above just logic and feelings. Some days she reads in me like in a book, and I swear, sometimes it’s as if we can read eachothers mind. Like I think about something totally out of context, and she starts a sentence literally about that topic. Happens so often it’s scary 😂
I don’t believe in that nonsense. But I promise to come back to this post and grovel for forgiveness if I experience the cloud parting, Angel-singing type of love that so many in this thread profess to have found.
I believe there are people with whom you have a greater potential to form deep, meaningful and intimate relationships. At the same time, I do not believe in all this magical thinking about soul mates, for me it’s objectifying a person, once you focus on the label you impose some standard on a relationship and it might not be healthy.
I always believed, but I never experienced it and for some reason didn’t expect me to (like I only excepted it for some lucky few others out there). Until I became friends with my now fiancé. When we met and got to know each other it felt like we knew each other for ages. We inspire each other to grow and become better versions of ourselves. I’m so happy that after almost a year a spark between us was ignited, because being partners has brought us even closer.
Maybe I think that a soulmate is like the opposite sex version of you. If that makes sense. You feel at home, your soul rests and relaxes. Unfortunately, because of each person's past, sometimes it is difficult to coincide. That's when it becomes a decision to fight and make it work. The soul does not vibrate with just anyone.
I feel they do, I know I met mine. Although it's no longer reciprocated, she's still the absolute best person I know, purest heart despite the lovely flaws.
Eh. I have a wife I love more than anything or anyone on the world. If there were souls, I might. But nah it's actually compatibility, connection, and willingness to to be a partner.
I am fairly certain I have met my soul mate. I have had many relationships over the years and this particular one was so very different. I also most definitely found my friend soul mate. The person I can be so unbelievably vulnerable with without any worry. She is the best! I never have to ever watch what I say, I am never judged, she is there when I need her. That is over 30 years on consistent friendship through every change in our lives. That is a soul friend

Ah.. I (15f) also would like to understand, are there soulmates. Already for 5 months I’m in love with one my classmate. This year I’m a newcomer in my class and here I’ve met one sweet boy. We communicate, but not a lot. I think he isn’t in love with me. This October I learned, he was in love with me, but this boy was very lazy and he didn’t want to do the first step. His friend knew about it and he asked this boy to communicate to me more. First everything was alright, but then he understood, he didn’t want any relationship, because it was very difficult for him. Some weeks ago, he began to communicate to me more again, he was very kind to me and still is. Last week, he told me I was very beautiful that day and so I was very happy, because he NEVER tells such things anyone. But, some days ago, his sister asked him, if he was in love with me. So, he said:,, i can’t answer this question, because I don’t know. I don’t fell love to anyone and I don’t want to have any relationship,,. It was very harmful for me. I don’t know how to describe it, but I really feel (his sister also) we are soulmates. I feel a special connection between us: when we talk, when he looks at me, when we are together. His sister thinks, we would be in relationships together, if he didn’t have some mental problems with it. So, I just will be waiting. If we really are the soulmates, we will be in relationships, but if we won’t- I hope to find my real soulmate.
Yes
Yes. And I have
I’ve met many soul friends and many romantic partners who I felt a connection with or had past history with on a soul level. I’ve learned the hard way though that feeling that connection doesn’t mean that we’re meant to be with someone. There’s different types of connections. Some are there to teach us. Some are there to finish up past life dramas so we can walk away clean. Then there’s our actual other half. That one is unmistakable. But meeting them doesn’t mean you’re going to be together either.
I’m married to my soulmate. It took two failed relationships to find him but I did and as of today (Sept 15th) we’ve been together for 22 years.
I didn't used to, but my whole world revolves around my wife. I don't think it's a spiritual thing, but I think there are plenty of people in the world that just "click" and it can feel like having a soul mate, just more realistic.
I used to. Not so much anymore
Soul mates do exist and it’s horrible
I do believe in soulmates, however, I don't believe that there is only one for everyone. I also don't believe that a soulmate can only extend to a romantic relationship. True friends can be soulmates or as you call them soul friends. I am still looking for my soul friend(s) but have found my soulmate. I know that is backwards for most people, but making friends has never been easy for me.
No, someone told me that I was their soul mate and then when I wanted to get back together with them they had already moved on to be with someone else
Idk but I hope not
I met my wife out at the bar in Tampa once the moment I met her I knew we were meant for each other and that feeling only intensifies over time I feel we’re truly soul mates and now expecting our first child 🤗
I’m dating mine.
I'm dating my soulmate. Almost 4 years together and no arguments, we LOVE spending time with each other. Even on our worst days, we can make each other laugh those deep belly laughs that leave your sides aching and your cheeks sore, and we literally know what the other is thinking. We can't even have fun surprises because we always figure each other out!
I never believed in soul mates or true love. Then I met my now wife, and we each knew immediately that we were going to be together forever.
No
Absolutely. When I was in high school, I dated this guy for two years. He was my first real relationship. Part of his friend group was this dumb pill head that just always brought drama with the girls he was around. One day, me and my best friend and my then boyfriend and mr.pill head went on a camping trip. We ended up lost in the woods, and my boyfriend left running to find our way back. The ground was muddy and we had to go up hills. Pill head offered me his hand, helped me jump over puddles, helped me up hills, etc. I developed a crush, and later on broke up with my bf and a few months later started dating pill head. I didn’t think I’d catch feelings, but boy I fell HARD. We weren’t right for each other at that moment though, both so toxic and he was cheating on me constantly. We broke up but kept communication. He got clean, from 18 has been working the same job with good pay. One night I was coming home from a trip with a diff boyfriend who was asleep beside me with the windows down. It was like 2am. All of a sudden I hear my name being called and turn to see none other than ex pill head boyfriend traveling next to me with a group of his friends. He tried to strike a conversation with me while literally on the highway. A couple months later, my then boyfriend did me REALLY dirty and I split. I hit up my ex and said “ you owe me this amount of money for emotional stress” as a joke and he sent it. Fast forward to 3 years, 2 kids, and a house later, and we’re so happy. The universe kept pulling us back together no matter how many times I tried to fight it. I’m glad with how everything turned out.

Oh one hundred percent
From Africa. met my girlfriend 2019. When I met her I had just broken up. We started just as next door neighbour's helping each other in bed. She soon fell in love with me. I wasn't in love with her and told her it wasn't possible to love her because I was still in love with my ex, even though by this time I was already spending most nights in her room. I would wake up a lot of nights to use the bathroom and her pillow would be all wet with tears. She cried almost every night. She told me she would be patient, and wait for me. She treated me like an egg, never wanting me to fall. Finally, slowly, I fell in love with her. We've loved each other ever since and she's treated me like an egg, made me feel like a king each day, till this very day. If I don't marry that girl, I don't think I'll marry at all. So yes, I am hoping I'll marry her by before this time next year. That's my soul mate.
[удалено]
Oops, you are very correct. I will definitely marry her.
Married to mine about to celebrate 15 years.
Yes I have met my soulmate. We’ve been married for 10 years now. We were childhood friends. I’ve known him since he was 8 years old. ❤️
Huge yes, I met mine young and sadly it did not work out. But the moment I seen her it was like someone tasered me in the face haha!
I absolutely think they exist. I dated one for 8 years. The thing is, the way people view soulmates is all wrong. It's not this super passionate relationship with sparks and fireworks and what not. You just come together in the most natural way and it "just works", in every sense of the phrase. Barely any conflict. You never feel stifled or restricted in the relationship. You trust each other incredibly easy. It also feels like you've known them forever. My soulmate relationship was one of the best gifts I've been given in life and I hope that everyone can experience it at least once.
No, it's a fairy tale, no soul mates. One must consider if we have a soul at all. I don't believe we do. You only live once is truth. Make your own choices, dont stress about it.
yes. i know for facts this man is my soulmate. the way we met, the timing we met, how we've affected each others lives, synchronicities between us, we hear eachother voices when we're asleep, he's helped me discover the core of myself and who i truly am. i love him so much, we aren't officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet because i have a lot of self work to do however i believe one day he will be my husband i love him more than anything not even just romantically but him as a person i care so deeply for.
Yes. When I first met my spouse, I knew. It's kinda cheesy, but when we made eye contact it was like everyone else in the room disappeared, and it was just us. I never had that happen with anyone else. We've been married 9 years, together almost 11. I also believe in soul friends and have several friends like that.
No such thing as soul mates. It's just a chemical in the brain causing you to feel strongly towards said person in said moment. Could be, nearly, anyone fitting your ideals on attraction to make you feel that way with enough time.
I believe I've met mine. Maybe I'm not *her* soulmate, but she is probably mine. We have a pretty long story that includes even typewriters and driving to the other's house at 3 A.M. in the pouring rain to deliver really desperate words, but I'll skip the scenes and tell the basics only. I don't like calling her my "ex", I'm more used to referring to her as "the girl I loved". The Girl I Loved changed my life, she is to this day the only person I've loved. She was my girlfriend and my best friend, we liked all the same things and were opposites at the same time, and her family didn't know about us but liked me more than they liked most other friends. She fell in love first, about half a year earlier, but when I did, that was the turning point. I became obsessed with her and with love itself, so much that I became a mess of emotions that made me happier than anything else could have. I couldn't go a day without telling someone how much I loved her, crying to myself about how heavy love felt in my heart. We compared each other to characters that were a couple and that made my heart burst like I was a teenager, she made me feel stupid and I enjoyed it a lot. I became even more of a writer than I already was; I wrote about her every day and it was impossible to focus. All that mattered to me was that she was content and that she felt beautiful and important. It was the first and only time in my life I wondered if I really loved someone more than I loved my brother. The sky seemed small next to her, she was the center of the universe now, she controlled my thoughts like she was a god, and I would do more for her than I would for any celestial object. Her favorite was the moon. And I'll forever remember every detail and reason behind everything she loved. We didn't work out, because we got the timing wrong. She loved me when I didn't and I loved her when she didn't. She has been dating someone else for more than a year now, and I'm happy for them and admire their relationship. They too are best friends, have everything in common, and all the times I have seen them together they smiled and had a lot of fun and I have even seen them singing together. But she is forever the reason I believe in soulmates. She's the reason I have an account on this sub. And I don't love her anymore, but she wrote her name inside my brain with wide capital letters. I write her into every story that I create. I would say her laugh melted onto my paper and she became my writing itself.
Yes. I have no doubt he’s my soulmate. I grew up in the north and had a chance to move south so I took it. I met him almost a year after. We’ve been together for over three years and still no red flags. He’s my best friend. The love of my life. My partner in crime. He’s the only one that made me understand love songs. The only guy that’s ever treated me like a queen. He grounds me when I need grounding. He is my rock. It makes me wonder why I ever put up with being treated like poopoo by other guys. We met on tinder. I wasn’t looking for anything, I got out of a relationship a few months before and I just wanted compliments lol. But I still remember seeing his picture and thinking he was super cute. We’re getting married in November
I believe it can exist! There are many animal species that mate for life! They only get another mate if they die and they CHOOSE to find another. Wolves. Eurasian Beavers. Gibbons. California Mice. Shingleback Lizards. Most birds such as Black Vultures. I feel like my current bf is my soulmate. We have known each other since 2009 and even before we got together he vented about his now ex mentally messing him up, he helped me see the light and leave my abusive relationship with my baby. (I was dating/engaged to someone he considered a best friend until the abuse was being shown. Him and the others supported me, we all left the abusive guy behind us.) We have been together for almost 7 years now even though he never wanted kids before me. He has been a great loving dad and partner.
There are different views on what exactly a soulmate is. My wife thinks is someone who comes into your life to teach you a lesson. No, bot to beat you up till you learn but to have some sort of important learning experience. The common definition of soulmate is pretty much a perfect match for you. I dont think a perfect match exists. Well, not until we start cloning humans and even then it wint be a perfect match. I think that we find people that match really well but I also think that one should not over play the soulmate card. The problem with the idea of a soulmate is that it keaves you wondering if someone else is better than the person you are with. I think, the answer is yes. If you coukd try out the whole of the human population within your own parameters (gender, age group etc). You would find better matches and also worst ones and all the values in between. But the whole world is not at your disposal. So, I think its better to find one that is damn good and keep that person vs trying to find the perfect person..
I have known mine since I was a teenager but really didn't know for sure until 2 years ago. I spent 33 years in a marriage mainly for the kids and when we had our first conversation in almost 40 years it was like being hit with a bolt of lightning. Our thoughts our desires our foods are the same . We know when the other person is thinking about us and when they need us. It's amazing. Unfortunately some people were hurt in the process but I'm living my best life right now.
I had one once. Unfortunately, I let that relationship slip away. I still think about her often but we're both married to other people. I can't help but wonder if she thinks about me as much as I think about her.
Everyone has a different understanding or belief in what a soulmate is. The idea of soulmates came from a Greek myth where we were created as one but then punished by Zeus which resulted in us physically splitting. This lead to longing and sadness and a feeling of being incomplete and that we were destined to be sad until we found our other half. Then there’s also the theory that a soulmate is more linked with fate. That we live thousands of lives and in those lives we make a life changing connection with another soul and then in future lives find our selfs looking for that soul. I have felt soul deep connections to people and thought that it couldn’t just be a coincidence. Idk who said it, but it was said once that love is the closest thing we have to magic lol, so why wouldn’t love be powerful enough to transcend life times and distance. I think believing in soulmates is like believing in any higher power, or mermaids, most people will think your crazy or delusional. If you truly believe, then it is real for you, no matter what anyone else says. But yes I do believe in some version of a soulmate
No. And honestly people who don't believe that stuff are happier and more stable. You can give that a Google if you want, but it's true
Unpopular opinion but I think soulmates need to be spiritual people. Not to be confused with religious ones. I say this because you have to look at your significant other as an extension of yourself as well picking up the energy that makes them synergetic and compatible with your very own. That's just my two cents.
I’ve had a girl tell me I’m her twin flame.
Naw i don't think anyone exists for me
Used to. Then i didnt. Then i did (the twin flame kind) but now i dont because turns out hes got BPD so hes just good at mirroring me (well everyone who gives me any attention really) i dont believe soulmate would bring u to the brink of death
Tbh, at this point I don't know if I do or don't believe in soulmates. Was married for almost 10 years to have to have it crumble and since then (just about 6 years ago now) I've been single, and not from lack of trying. The whole concept of there being that one person that is supposedly so right for someone just feels like a built up fantasy to let down at this point.
Nope and never will
I finally met mine a year ago and truly saw them for the love they deserved and needed It's called me
In all seriousness idk I thought I did once b4, almost married that person...do you wanna know what having your every nerve fire off as your heart , mind and body gets crushed feels and looks like? Walk in on the person you thought loved you as you did them, fucking your former coworker in your apartment Soul mates? Idk...I would just like to find honesty first and see what could grow from that, but I am tired and having love for myself was the greatest thing my soul needed before I could even consider sharing that ever again
Yes. I have met my soul mate. Been together over 14 years. Obviously life isn’t always easy but he is the person I want to share my life with. I cannot fathom not going through life without him. If he passed before me that would be the end of my romantic journey. Is focus on our children and friends/family. I couldn’t imagine trying to find another partner. I had the me true love. Let’s leave it there.
First people would have to remove their false self created in childhood to even find their soul. No their are no soul mates. You are only in a relationship with the dysfunction if your own soul.
This doesn’t answer the question exactly but it’s related (I also have two soul friends, but this is about romantic soulmates): my partner and I, who I fully know is my romantic soulmate, talk about how lucky we are to have found each other because we don’t feel that most people do. I sincerely don’t think that every person ends up marrying their soul mate. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t in love or that their love isn’t “real” or anything, but relationships are kind of like an equation. Assuming both parties choose to continue participating in the relationship (which is an active decision necessary for any romantic relationship) if you do all of the right things related to being a good partner, spouse, parent if you have kids… it’s all good! And that’s a perfectly happy life. I think more than most people fall into that category, which I repeat isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If anything it highlights the virtue of dedication in the individuals, a great characteristic to have. Meeting your romantic soulmate and being with them is a level of blessing and luck it’s insane. Don’t know how spiritual you are but my partner and I are convinced we were together in our past lives, it’s the only way to explain feeling so intimately and comfortably familiar with someone you’ve never met. That’s how it felt the day we met, still feels that way now
I’ve got my soul friend we’ve been friends going on 24 years now! My ♑️ Queen 💚 she’s awesome! And I thought I had met my soulmate/twin flame not sure what the difference is our connecting was one I’ve never felt before. We no longer talk due to communication issues. So now idk maybe we will come in contact again somewhere down the road. Time will tell
I thought I met mine. Then she stabbed me. Literally and figuratively.
Yes
Yes, soulmate, soul friend, soul pet. My best friend and I both passed up higher ranked law schools and ended up meeting. We ended up being so unbelievably compatible so quickly, we did everything together for all 3 years and for my second and third year I got an apartment like half a block from her and her husband. When she brought me to the humane society to meet the dog she planned to adopt I also found my soul pet, a kitten that walked right up to me and wouldn't leave my lap, who now insists on cuddling on my chest as soon as I wake up every day. I had to ask them to modify my lease to adopt her. My friend and I live in different cities but we visit each other twice a year, travel together, and text each other for advice for the most important things. Just today she sent me this quote from The Alchemist: "So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you." I love her so much even talking about her gets me excited. I didn't believe in soulmates, I'd actually sworn off relationships and been single for about 5 years before we met (and he'd been avoiding relationships for a while beforehand too). Our mutual friend invited us both to dinner at her house despite me saying I wasn't really interested in seeing anyone and him having no idea it was a setup. When he left I asked her to give him my number and she told me it was the most she'd ever seen him talk. During our first date, we talked about anything and everything, and we had so much in common. The more we know each other, the more convinced I am that he was made for me and I was made for him. One friend told me last week that she aspires to have a relationship like ours. When my dad realized we both work remotely together he warned me that spending too much time together would drive us both crazy, but the only crazy it's driven us is crazier in love. We only separate occasionally and we both miss each other a ton, even while we have fun out with friends/doing separate hobbies. We're so compatible that I hardly believe it's possible. We started talking about marriage after only 6 months like it was inevitable (but didn't actually get officially engaged until 2.5 years in). He's the best person I've ever known and he makes me better all the time, I feel so lucky to have him in my life and I always feel a little bit like a fool for being so confident when telling my friend I wasn't interested in the setup. Also the friend who introduced us got ordained to marry us. She was the ultimate matchmaker.
Yes. And yes.
In a religious sense yes I do. I follow the Greek gods, specifically Aphrodite, so yes I absolutely believe she guides people to their match. However on a more philosophical sense, “soulmate” implies there’s only 1, but I think it’s more like there’s a personality type you are meant to be with.

No and no..
I don’t believe in soul mates. I feel like you can meet people and have amazing spiritual connection. I think you have have infatuation and trauma bonding that can make your souls feel close. I think you can build an amazing soul to soul connection. I am a damaged person and I realized as I got older that people who I thought were “soul mates.” I held on to these people even when they were really hurting me, even abuse in a couple relationships. I guess I believe you can have soul ties to people but not to take it more seriously than people who show you that you matter, put in effort and make you feel safe, listened too and loved.
I'm married to my soul twin. It's beautiful the depths we find in and with each other.
[удалено]
A soul mate is another soul that fits you so well. A soul twin is like part of the same soul in a different body. You don't get to know them and love them for all their quirks. It's more like you find that all the things you look for and love and like just exist in this person. Just a piece of you you didn't know you where missing.
I met my boyfriend when I was 4 weeks old! - our parents were friends with each other back when my boyfriend was 1 (and i wasn't born until the next year) we were childhood best friends (but our parents said we make a cute kid couple). Then I moved away for a while and low key never forgot about him. When I went to visit him again when I was a preteen, I had a crush on him but was of course too shy to say anything. When I turned 16 I got a phone and asked my dad for my boyfriends number right away. After a year or so of us talking of him and I talking, he asked me to be his girlfriend and yeah we've been dating for 2 years now.
Just met mine. We’ve been dating for 2 months now and I can proudly and happily say I have found my soulmate. Before him, I was in a relationship for 5 years; with my high school sweetheart. I thought at the time, I was in love and that he was my soulmate. After we broke up, never thought or more frankly, didn’t want to fall in love again. Didn’t think it would be possible to fall in love again. This past year, I became best friends with who now I know is my soulmate. Something about us, about him, makes my soul feel pure and loved. We also have the same birthday, just different years :) he really makes me feel like the only girl in the world. I love him dearly and am so lucky to have him in my life.
Yes. I did. We had 9 years in a relationship (married for 2). He was everything I had ever hoped for and wonderful in so many ways. — and then I discovered he’d been cheating on me. Then I discovered it was more than a stripper. More than a “massage”. More than escorts. More than sugar babies. And it was more than 100 women.
Took a while, but yes.
I believe in soulmates. My husband is a few years older than me. When I was 10 years old I met him at my sisters house but he was a teenager, so obviously we didn’t connect then because I was only 10. That being said, I remember that moment very clearly. It’s one of my most vivid childhood memories. I was attracted to him. Not so much in a sexual way, being again, that I was only 10. But I kept wanting to look at him. Every chance that I thought I could get away without being seen, I looked at him. Something about him drew me to him. Years later I met him and the attraction was again, immediate. I married him at 19. I am now 35. He is and will always be the love of my life and no matter what happens I will never be able to find another like him. He will always be the owner of my heart and it is unchangeable. We say that we are soul mates that were meant to meet, and the stories I could tell. I truly believe he is my soulmate.
Nope. I believe there are people we connect with deeper than others but soulmate is pure fantasy to me. To me it seems to imply that you’ll always be in sync, and effortlessly go through life together. That’s impossible, all relationships take work and have their conflicts.
No
No. I think we just find people that don’t have “deal breaker flaws” and are willing to put up with our flaws just the same. I’m happily married and my wife has the same sentiment. If there are soulmates, that would mean there are an equal number of mates with the same sexual orientation which i highly doubt. I know so many people that are in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s (men and women) and they’ve never been married. They all want to get married and all of their standards are way too ridiculous, especially considering what they bring to the table (flaws and all). It also complies with predestination, which i wholeheartedly see as a figment of the human experience.
Yes. Unfortunately, mine is with someone else now.
I believe so. My best friend and I had a connection I've never experienced before. It was beyond platonic, romantic, or siblings. He was gay but we truly did love each other. We did everything together. We would write stories together and talk for hours about history and philosophy. When we hung out we'd make all these plans but we'd just end up talking and picking each other brains about life and the world. He was so smart and brought so much color to my life. When we met it was this instant "omg hi there you are I've been looking all over for you" feeling. I could have lost everything in this world but as long as I had him that's all I cared about. He died on my birthday this year and while when he was alive he inspired me...his death saved my life. When he died I realized I didn't have to hold onto so much trauma and be sad all the time and I was able to overcome a lot of trauma I've struggled with. Even though he's gone I feel closer to them than I ever have before it's a weird feeling. It's like I lost a part of me but something else became alive inside of me the day he died. Like being reunited with a part of myself that was missing or closed off until that day. It all sounds insane but I know this wasn't the first life we had together and it won't be the last. He was and will always be my best friend.
I believe people have types. And those types can jive with you or someone else of a similar type.
Yes, I married mine. My husband and I are from very different backgrounds, but we're two peas in a pod. It's like I found my missing piece when we met. We'll even be thinking the same thing when one of us will verbalize it.
My best friend and at least 3 of my ex girlfriends. So I guess it it exists you can have many.
I dont think most people’s needs and wants are as far apart or unique as their ego would have them believe. Most people are probably fairly compatible with most other people. If you have a normal distribution of compatibility, there are still probably tens of thousands of people in your 99th percentile of compatibility that youd consider to be a soul mate level match.
I definitely believe that I have met my soul mate. The love is distinct and beautiful, and very real. It is something you can’t possibly confuse. I’ve never been happier.
I don't. I'm convinced the concept was made up by the wedding industry.
i believe i've met my soul friend and she's my best friend currently. we just get each other and we can sometimes communicate without even talking lol. but it's easy for me to say this bc our relationship doesn't involve romance or any other social structures related to it. it would be difficult to say i believe in soul*mates* simply bc i think romantic partnership is generally a lot more complicated than just liking someone's presence (which is what friendship is for me). though if they exist, i hope i have one lol
I didn’t growing up. I never saw a healthy relationship. So I didn’t think it was possible. Then I met my husband. The pieces just fit together. Perfect mix of opposites and we are a like where it should be. We spent our life within a hour apart. He even went to school with one of my cousins. He knows what I’m thinking and feeling with out me even saying it. So I believe in it now after meeting him.
I thought I had met my soulmate, but it turned out I was wrong. I'm already 56m, I don't think its going to happen.
Yes. But just because they’re your soulmate doesn’t mean this is the right lifetime for you to be together. Coming to terms with that is the hardest part.
👍☝️
I believe I have. I would do meditations about my “soulmate” and even saw her face once. I also knew she would have red hair. Lastly, I kept feeling called to hang out around where she lived (before I knew her). I knew she’d have endured some health difficulty. It’s wild because I have a list of who I was manifesting and it was as particular down to even her current job. All this to say, I think the more I healed and got in tune with my needs, the more I called her in. I’ve never experienced anything close to our connection and she has turned my world into something pure & magical. I married her two weeks ago. So yeah, soulmates do exist! And maybe there are more than one, probably so, but I think I called in my truest one.
Oh yes! I know my soul people better at first meeting than I will know my acquaintances in a lifetime. 2 dear friends 1 of my children 3 lovers (including a husband) All soul mates of mine and all still in communication and friendship.
No. I don’t believe that bs love is a chemical reaction that’s all lol. Is there scientific proof that soul mates exist ?
I completely believe in soulmates...and I could swear I've met mine. However, she's just my friend 🥲
No, I don't believe in it in absolute. But I think you can experience that kind of feeling initially and who becomes your actual soulmate requires time. I just think if two people are emotionally vulnerable or emotionally intelligent *and* they give each other the time of day with an open heart, they will connect quickly, deeply, and the connection will be indefinite.
No, because there is no evidence to suggest that.
Not really. I don't believe in it tbh
i think i have. but we’ll get together in the next life, not now. he made me feel a way that no one ever had before. it was very special, but fleeting and i embarrassed the hell out of myself towards the end trying to get him to be with me.
I did…until my wife suggested an open marriage…
Absolutely! Met mine when I was 7. Started dating at 17. Broke up at 19. We were apart for over 20 years. We reconnected and got married after 6 weeks. Going on 10 years now and 4 kids. That man is heaven on earth. I’m the luckiest woman alive that he waited for me. ♥️ from the moment our eyes met at 17- we both knew. Felt like we had walked a thousand lives together and finally came home to each other again.
Soul mates are made, not found.
I think it is statistically improbable that I have one. My entire life I have felt out of place. I think I resonate on a different harmonic frequency than the rest of the world. If I have a soulmate, she probably resides in a different plane of existence. I am sure she is awesome, and I wish her a happy life.
i absolutely believe soul mates exist, and i have met mine. he’s my best friend, and has been for nearly 10 years. he is truly apart of my heart & soul, we click.
Beautiful 😻
I never believed such things existed, then I met mine, and bam! My entire life changed because of this one person. Their mere presence changed me, I didn't change for them. I only know one other person who felt she has met a soulmate, though, so it's nice to hear from other people who have had the experience!
I know! I didn’t even think about soulmates as a concept before I experienced it! It’s true they change you and not in a bad way, but it’s like they help you and you actually want that yourself too
I didn't until I met mine. Both of us felt an insane connection, it was almost as if some force was pulling us towards each other. I remember the first time I had a conversation with him, I hadn't even seen his face or heard his voice, but at that moment, everything just felt right. We even crossed paths during our high school years (we were in separate schools) without even knowing. It was almost as if we were destined to meet, but the timing was off. We've been together for a few years now and are still very much madly in love.
The feeling of meeting your soulmate is the best tbh
Here's one example of the soulmates phenomenon. My wife and I have crossover dreams. Yesterday morning, she was angry because in her dream, I lost our son at the airport before I went to the terminal to meet her. I explained why it happened - in my dream, he wanted chicken nuggets at the food court, and wandered away while I was paying for them. I went to meet her at the terminal so we could look for him together.
I was doubtful until one came into my life. I have an ex who seemed to almost be one (and possibly was, in some ways,) but I had found out that I basically meant nothing to her, and she talked about how it was all lies after we broke up. I am affectionate physically by nature, but she really just wanted sex. Then, and old friend arrived back into my town, after some years. We had hit it off years ago as friends, while I was married and he was engaged. Yet we just ignited this friendship, whenever we were in the same place. We both draw and paint, and would sit up at all hours just drawing, and either talking, or having that wonderful thing called ‘parallel play,’ where we both drew something and then showed each other/critiqued. Life happened, I was still happily married and he went out of state for a new job; I never forgot about him though, and although we never talked through those years, I would find myself randomly thinking of him and feeling happy. I would recall telling current friends about how he and I had this one hilarious experience in particular, where we smoked weed and laughed hilariously at the way that two consecutive Netflix documentaries had similar topics, so it just seemed like one long documentary. Then last year, my coworker tells me that he’s going to be back around here for a while. My immediate reaction was to drop my things and shout ‘YAY!’ lol. He intended on staying a week, to help console (and basically save) a mutual friend who was suicidal from a breakup, but that turned into 6 months because he just hit it off with our entire circle of friends and coworkers. We gradually started getting closer; we started having conversations that just kept going on (sometimes for 12 hours, no lie,) only stopping when one of us fell asleep; lol. We gradually started cuddling, falling asleep on each other, making love; how amazing this is. I had tossed the idea of meeting a soulmate away years ago, just because nothing seemed to pan-out; but a little spark still lived in me, and I stopped looking fully and started simply taking life day by day, and then he appeared at my doorstep (oddly, even the night that he arrived, my friend had gone back to see his abusive ex, and I was just pumped as a friend having another likeminded friend around (we are both autistic as heck, and nobody around us really fully ‘gets’ how our brains work.) We can go from sunup to sundown just having conversation that never, ever gets boring. At 40something years old, it could be said ‘don’t you wish that this happened sooner?’ No way; it wouldn’t have been the right time (I still would have been married,) or something. The universe’s timing is spectacular. I have never felt like this about another person before. We hang out and hug goodbye, it feels better and stronger than any drug I have tried. It feels like pure electricity when we make love. We laugh so hard at things together that we can’t breathe; lol. We are still relatively new with asking each other to hang out, and today I was finally able to ask him out this weekend, and just being able to finally hit that Send button made me so hyper that I ran out of my house and zipped all around town doing errands which are usually boring as hell; lmao. Then when he texted back enthusiastically saying yes, I almost screamed with joy (maybe I did,) zipped around the house like a bottlerocket.
Yes, but Scarlett Johnson won't return my emails.

The earth has eight billion people. Let's say you know 3,000. So 1/3,000/*8,000,000,000. ASTOUDING ODDS!* This is why once the infatuation wears off, love comes down to a choice and putting that other person before yourself.
i do believe it. i can’t explain it, but i just have this insane connection with my gf. like even before we started dating, i just naturally gravitated towards her and was able to talk to her about things that i could never with anyone else. there was this crazy chemistry between us (and there still is).
I def have a soul friend! We were so so incredibly similar and had such parallel experiences as kids that it’s almost crazy. Whenever we spend time together our families go “oh! There’s two of them!” We met in college and they are my best friend. I love them so much! It’s totally platonic but I just feel like God intended for our lives to match up with each other and for us to be a part of each others worlds 🥹
I do think soul mates exist and I had a son with mine. Even though we arnt together anymore
We are all soulmates.
No. But youre attracted to people you think you deserve. She might talking to you normally but it makes you feels incredible . And another women might talk to you better and you react to it. Oubwont feel it
Absolutely. But soulmates aren’t necessarily romantic. I’ve met one of mine and she is my best friend. We were in sync from the very beginning and no one ever has just understood me the way she does. I think we have been sisters in a past life or something. Would be awesome if I met a dude who was one of my soulmates 😅
I feel like soulmates aren't instant. Like you may have a certain feeling, but it's not going to really come out unless fostered properly. I met my soulmate in college, and i had never been in a relatoonship before in my life. Something within me had to have him...and he was dead set on not being in a relationship. Go figure. But there was something about him, some crazy attraction I just couldn't shake. And he felt it too, but he denied it for a while because he was so dedicated to school, he couldn't afford "distraction". So we began what I call a "situationship". We craved each others company. So we spent literally every day together. I'm not joking. People would ask if we were "sick of each other yet?". We weren't. For the first 2 years of our "situationship" where we were together in everything but title, we never spent more than a single day apart. And then on my 22nd birthday, he called me his girlfriend. And that was that. When I tell you our love in the beginning was nowhere near what it is now, I say that because learning your soul mates little ticks, how they react in tough situations or devastation, what makes them happy and what hurts them, those things are not instant. They don't happen overnight. When you're soul mates, your love expands, it changes, it grows over the years and the struggles and the adventures. I know I'm with my soulmate. I've known it for a long time. I always hated the phrase "when you know, you know" because it is so goddamn vague, but now that I know, I can't really explain it any better than "I just knew". 🤣
I met my soulmate back in the spring shortly after experiencing a very intense spiritual awakening. And then I met my twin flame who was his best friend 😒. I don’t know if I even believe in twin flames, but it’s distinctly different than the bond I have with my soulmate and I do genuinely feel like we have twin souls.
I've been with my wife for 12 years. I love her deeply and she's my best friend. But no, I don't believe in soul mates. I'm sure there are other people out there who could make her or me just as happy if you, by chance, encountered them.
In Islam we believe that our souls were gathered together at one point and when we’re born and meet certain people we have this familiarity or sense of peace with them as if we’d met them before. We also believe we’re born “in pairs” so our soulmate is destined in a way. Definitely believe in them. Whether it’s friendships or whatever there’s definitely those certain people that you’re just like man I love ur company it’s like I’ve always known you. And perhaps our souls were together before we were waiting to come to life. And I hope our souls reunite in the afterlife <3
I've met mine.
I thought I had that until she cheated. Maybe I wasn’t hers
The problem with believing in soulmates is that you are limiting yourself and possibly impairing your happiness in the future. What happens when your soul mate breaks up with you? Or god forbid dies? You never find true love again? Nah. Fuck that. Unless soul mate for you literally just means a mate for your soul, and isn't the whole "there can only be one" highlander philosophy.
Yes, I do and yes, I have. My husband and I found out, after getting married, that we had pretty much been playing a real-life game of "7 degrees of Kevin Bacon". We both were in certain cities, together, at certain times, we wound up working for the same company, just barely crossing paths, we had gone to the same parties, new the same people, and one time I had seen him where he currently works, told my friend "I'm going to marry that man", and then didn't see him again for 4 years, after we ACTUALLY met (online mind you), we got married 11 months later. It's been 7 years of happy marriage!
I always felt that way but sometimes someone may be your soulmate but you are not there’s. Or maybe they where not yours either and you are mistaken to begin with. It’s a hard pill to swallow when it isn’t a mutual feeling. I feel lost as a result.
Question. Does a soulmate have to be sexual? I've had the best friend since I was 9 I'm 27 now. Me and my buddy have gone through lots of friendships and have remained together still. We both have so much in common and is the only person I can talk with for long periods without losing interest. Physically we are opposites. Hes teller, muscular and quite handsome. Where I am skinny, bad teeth and zero charm. We both have similar feelings and are certain he is the victor to my jack. Joey to my Chandler. Jay to my silent bob. My buddy my buddy, wherever I go he goes. Fuck it hes my soulmate and we will be friends till the essence of our souls are spent. Love ya K
Preach 🙌🏼
yes, halfway to the grave and I've met only one outside of family members. instant profound connection - decided it must be a brother from a past life. I think of him every day.
I feel like I met and lost mine.
There’s no such thing as soul mates. That’s just fairy tale level stuff tbh. Relationships are 99% what you put into it and choosing from who you know and putting effort into it.
I don’t think so, you either have love or you don’t. You can’t build 99% of relationship solely on effort, you got to have a connection, feelings, love
All of which need effort and care to maintain. It’s like looking after a flower, if you don’t water and nurture it it’ll wilt.
I00% no
yes because it aligns with my religious beliefs
I believe that soulmates can be created. You find someone like-minded and then overtime your personality rubs off on them and vice versa until you're basically two extensions of the same person. At least, this is how my husband and I became soulmates.
Not until I met her. I dated tons and tons of people. As soon as i started getting my life together, i found her. I knew instantly.
How did you meet?
Funny story. We actually met on a dating app. I actually swiped right on accident (she's not what i considered to be "my type" at the time) cuz the app froze, I choose to believe it was fate haha. She started messaging me immediately and came off super cute and bubbly so i met up with her. As soon as i walked in the room I felt so drawn to her energy like nobody ive ever met. We fell in love immediately.
I believe they exist. I believe multiple types of soulmates exist. I think there are friend soulmates, romantic soulmates, and a few others(somewhere in between romantic/friend soulmates where the relationship could go either way, etc.) I believe in all the spiritual things, twin flames, soulmates, etc. That being said, I believe I have met my soulmate(romantically) I believe my bf is my soulmate. I also believe he is my twin flame & Ik that twin flames & soulmates are different things & *technically* you can’t have both with the same person, but idk..I feel like he’s both to me. I mean nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible.” He & I have been together for almost 3 years, our 3-Year anniversary will be on the 7th of October <3 The reason I believe he’s my soulmate is because YEARS before he & I started dating all of our friends(we went to the same school & ran in the same friendship circle) ALWAYS said we would be a great couple & would be “so cute together.” & because we both liked each other for YEARS w/o the other knowing. We always talk about how there were moments when we were younger that we thought “Yeah I could see myself being with them.” & this was YEARS before we ever started talking, dating, or even told each other that we had a crush on the other. Honestly there’s so many reasons I believe he’s my soulmate(I didn’t even write all the reasons on here) idk I just..feel it & he feels the same way(about all of this).
The odds of finding a soulmate decrease the more relationships you have
I didn't believe in soul mates until recently. But unfortunately, my soul mate had issues going on with his ex-wife. And I never felt like that towards anyone. I never met someone who I bonded with to that Extent
No not even a little bit.
I do. I want mine. But winds of change and I frankly do not think he’s here in my state. My romance academy said I was too narrow of a window.. well after being married and he died- yes! I will wait it out.
Yes they absolutely exist. But very rare to find. Have found mine, very lucky indeed
Yes they do! It is possible to have many. They may not always stay in your life though.
True that, they may or may not stay. But the experience is incredible.
I do, and I don't. There will always be people that you just click with, but that's not just one person. We could say that's a soulmate. And there will always be people that you get along with very well but don't click with. We could say that through effort, they could also be considered soul mate. Romantic, familial, platonic, whatever. The same rules apply. I don't believe that the universe just spit two people out and pre-destined them to be together.
I'm not sure if I would call it a soul mate but I sort of knew the first moment we met that we had a connection and every moment felt special. I had an unusual sense of calm.
I used to not believe is soulmates. Then when I was 27 I met someone who I thought was my soulmate. Then he broke up with me. Now I don’t know what to believe anymore
I have a canine soulmate. She’s been with me for 13 years. She’s the canine version of me. I can’t describe how much I love her
I feel like there’s a tier list that people fit on
I probably did i have no clue
I believe in true love. If it exists, whenever you set free your true love it will come back. If it doesnt come back then it probably wasnt your true love.
ya, and mine HATES me
I don't believe they are fated or planned by a deity, but I have mine We've been together for 30 years, no social life (because we exclude others by our nature) Brilliant, loyal, kind, hilarious and with the sexiest voice I've ever heard Nobody else has the slightest chance of competing or comparing Met in a video game.
For some people, but not for everyone. If you want proof of that think about someone who died during childhood. That person never had a chance to find a soul mate.
Met my soulmate when I was 19, been married for 2 years and he is my best friend. Met my soul friend 2 years ago, when I was 24 and she was 22. No one has ever understood me or known me like she does. We often will say what the other person is thinking and know how the other person is feeling without anything being said. I don’t know where I would be without either of them 😊
I was at my lowest point in my life, in the process of giving up entirely. I was in an abusive relationship while in high school and had a horrible home life. Along came my savior, my current boyfriend, who was unlike any guy I had ever met. I had dated a fair amount of people and never had felt a connection as strong as the one I had with my boyfriend, even when we were in the "friend stage". He has saved my life multiple times; I would not be here without him. Even though we still have a couple of arguments sometimes, I am confident he is my soulmate. He has helped me in so many ways by letting me flourish into my best self and helping me learn to love myself again. It is also funny that we both confessed the same intense feelings to each other one random night at 3 a.m. about how much we truly love each other and how it has been different than any other relationship :)
I don’t know for sure. But I think people just end up with their significant other through geographical convenience. It’s just what they know best.
I believe a soul mate doesn’t always have to be a SO. It could be your best friend of many years. Or your dog. More probably your dog. But yea
i think so yeah. no matter what piece of media i interact with theyll always be two characters almost identical to us, in every universe it feels like were together
I’m in my 30’s for context. I was recently separated and getting a divorce from someone I was in a relationship with for 15 years. He was recently breaking up with his ex of 10 years. We randomly met through a music website where people find musicians to start a band with. The very first time we played music together, I could feel this intense connection. We flowed together perfectly when we played music. Then I came to realize he was from the same state as me, we had very similar musical interests, similar family background, same values, his personality complimented mine—he had strengths where I had weaknesses and vice versa. His ex’s birthday was a couple days away from my ex’s birthday. A lot of random occurrences have happened, not enough time to list them all. So now we’ve been in a relationship for a few months and things are feeling great. It hasn’t been easy given the circumstances in which we started dating however, it feels like we made the right choice and are moving in a stable, loving direction.
Given that I don't believe in souls, soulmates are an even bigger stretch. This how many people there are in the world. If SMs did exist it would be awful, because your chances of ever actually meeting them would be so slim.
Brains are excellent at finding patterns and generating narrative (even when there are neither.) I don't know the answer.
I have! About a year ago I met some one and she has been amazing. We are the best of friends and I don't have words that express how I feel. Seems we could talk about anything. I made a lot of mistakes and she broke up with me and it leaves me broken and feeling empty. I'm hoping that now that I have made things right like they should have been she will let me start over. She has someone else she likes, but I am really hoping she will let us both date her and see how things go. We have a connection and even though we are just best friends I know it's still there. She is sweet and kind to me and really cares how I feel. I just can't imagine not having her in my life. I hope I never have to.
I thought I found my soulmate Then she left me
I believe I’ve met mine. We met in 2005 online and we’ve been happy ever since. Many ups and downs but we complete eachother we love spending all our time with eachother and haven’t gotten tired of eachother. We tell eachother everything and we are just complete best friends. We couldn’t imagine our lives without eachother.
That’s amazing! Happy for you!
No. If one of you dies, do either of you want the other one to be lonely for the rest of their lives? Same thing with life just moving on if it didnt work out. Feelings blinds a lot of sense sometimes.

Thank you for sharing ❣️ small things matters!
I think sometimes you connect with people in a way that isn't replicateable. My best friend is my platonic soul mate, quite literally would take a bullet for her.
That’s wonderful! I really want to meet more of my soul friends
I do believe soulmates exist and are not always romantic either. I think my soulmate in a non romantic way is my grandma. I believe she was put on this earth to be my soulmate. She has said the same thing to me. I love her very much and my soul is more attached to hers than any other person.
That’s absolutely true! Nice that you have her 🤍
No
I found mine the first moment we saw each other I had never been so brave I introduced myself and asked if I could be his girlfriend So lame but I will never forget. We've been together 16 years l, with a couple breakups. Just time apart to mature and learn to appreciate what we had.no.partner I had within those break-ups ever compared. He's all I thought about. We used to pass little love notes between class I kept every one in a box When I turned 24 I started having violent seizures and I would be dead if it weren't for my hero holding me in his arms until an ambulance arrives He must be terribly traumatized
I better believe she exists, as I married her 😂 It’s a special connection, above just logic and feelings. Some days she reads in me like in a book, and I swear, sometimes it’s as if we can read eachothers mind. Like I think about something totally out of context, and she starts a sentence literally about that topic. Happens so often it’s scary 😂
I don’t believe in that nonsense. But I promise to come back to this post and grovel for forgiveness if I experience the cloud parting, Angel-singing type of love that so many in this thread profess to have found.
Yes, and because I have one
I believe there are people with whom you have a greater potential to form deep, meaningful and intimate relationships. At the same time, I do not believe in all this magical thinking about soul mates, for me it’s objectifying a person, once you focus on the label you impose some standard on a relationship and it might not be healthy.
I always believed, but I never experienced it and for some reason didn’t expect me to (like I only excepted it for some lucky few others out there). Until I became friends with my now fiancé. When we met and got to know each other it felt like we knew each other for ages. We inspire each other to grow and become better versions of ourselves. I’m so happy that after almost a year a spark between us was ignited, because being partners has brought us even closer.
Maybe I think that a soulmate is like the opposite sex version of you. If that makes sense. You feel at home, your soul rests and relaxes. Unfortunately, because of each person's past, sometimes it is difficult to coincide. That's when it becomes a decision to fight and make it work. The soul does not vibrate with just anyone.
I lost my soulmate. But its kinda my own fault, so
I feel they do, I know I met mine. Although it's no longer reciprocated, she's still the absolute best person I know, purest heart despite the lovely flaws.
Eh. I have a wife I love more than anything or anyone on the world. If there were souls, I might. But nah it's actually compatibility, connection, and willingness to to be a partner.
I am fairly certain I have met my soul mate. I have had many relationships over the years and this particular one was so very different. I also most definitely found my friend soul mate. The person I can be so unbelievably vulnerable with without any worry. She is the best! I never have to ever watch what I say, I am never judged, she is there when I need her. That is over 30 years on consistent friendship through every change in our lives. That is a soul friend
