Soul Mates

[inacan]

Here's a good question;

Do Soul-mates exist? and if so, should they be romantically involved with each other or not?

here's my take;

I think that Soul-mates do exist, but that they should for the most part not be involved with each other in a romantic situation. I used to think they should but after a friend talked to me, she made perfect sense, because of the deep intense connection, a romantic situation makes everything a intense emotional rollercoaster, which can be very damaging to people.

Ummm, the only time I don't think it's a good idea to become involved with your 'soul mate' is where you find out you're related. See also 'Say it isn't so'. ;)

I don't believe in the stereotypical soul mate , when two people lay eyes on eachother they just fall in love.
I belive that with some poeple, you just click, your personalitys are either so similar or so opposite that somehow you manage to get along so well with some kind of unwritten mutual respect for eachother.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a deep connection that you feel that you can't explain, a nagging feeling that the 2 of you belong together in some capacity.

[Dark Blade]

I know someone sorta like that, but I don't feel the need to be with them.

[Jim]

Yeah, I know what you mean but I can't understand why you would believe you shouldn't be together.

Call me crazy but I think your friend may just be having a massive bout of sour grapes. Either that or never found thier sould mate.

If someone is your soul mate surely it means that there would be no rollercoaster relationship?

If thier your soul mate surely you fit togther complimenting each other???

I dunno crazy ideas I have. Have to say I know a couple of candidates for mine but not sure.


If I was I'd be with them.

If there is a such thing as a "soulmate," I havent found mine. Hell, I can't even find people interested enough to converse with me, period.

... or if you both are otherwise married!

Hahaha - trust you to be so sensible Kickchick! ;)

There are various degrees of "Soul Mates" I feel. Male and female - you can have incredibly close friends that even after a really short time of knowing you, can empathise and care for you and these feelins can be returned too - then there are the ones that come to mean more to you than that. I haven't made up my mind about whether you should be together with them or not - I'm in no position to respond to that question at this time!

it's a bunch of hoo-hah

i'ts fantasy wish fulfillment nonsense - "there is somebody out there for me for whom I will not need to put any effort into a relationship because our souls will be so perfectly matched."

it's infatatuation where the particpants don't want to admit it is just that. "Our Love is too Important to be merely Attraction. Only We can understand the True Depths our Love reaches. Our Love is so Deep we dare not be together for the resulting Flames of Passion and True Love might consume us both and we would be Lost Forever"

it sounds to me Inacan like your friend just wants to ge laid. I hope you realized that in time hahaha IF I was still single and IF a woman said that to me the next thing out of my mouth would be something along the lines of "I feel the same way, I'm so relieved you said that. I've been feeling the same thing but was afraid to tell you for fear it would ruin our perfct soul-mate compatibility. Do you have any astro-glide?"

Sorry, I believe in Love but it ain't easy and it ain't even fun some days, and you can f_ck it up pretty easy no matter how good it is.

All that said - I have 2 soul mates - my 2 daughters.

Now just so you don't all think I am some cynical POS... here is a picture of me and my family. From RIGHT to LEFT that is : my daughter Emily (14), daughter Courtney (17), me(37), my fiancee Mary (25), and her (now our!) daughter Kaylamarie (3).

Well, it was the wife that first mentioned the word "Soul Mate". My wife and I are so different in many ways, yet we understand each others needs. She has her own goal in life, I have mine, yet it seems hard to achieve it without the others' support. We do share common beliefs of what life is all about and family is our number one priority. Don't get me wrong, we argue too and sometimes kinda loud but always end up finding a common ground.

Yes, she got me to believe that "soul mates" are out there, you just got to find them. I found mine, goodluck on yours.

I'm just a kid, so I know nothing :-\
I've never really given this much thought, but I guess it's all possible?

Maybe it's true, I wouldn't know...
