what is a true soul mate?

Think of the words both seperately and together

SOUL MATE

Two kindred spirits who are MATES

If theirr is no physical, sensual contact they are not soul mates

Just Soul Friends

Soul Mates have it ALL
That is why they are so special, and so rare

God’s Gift to Me

12 May 2005


God gave me a sister
She was kind and sweet
and I think God was
so wonderful
and really neat

God gave me a sister
although I had one of my own
This Saviour in Christ whose
sacrifice was to atone

She had of self
a younger brother
Even though
in kinship her new
big “older” brother
was what she did not have

His tallness in stature
with long reaching out arms
In secondary in height to seek
cradling her in protection of harms


“And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following
after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest,
I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.”
Ruth 1: 16 KJV

True soul mate (noun) : One who brings you a cold beer as you rest on the couch.

If I understand religion correctly (they tend to all say the same thing, just differently) while we are alive we have a body. When we die, the soul leaves the body. Just guessing here, but it seems to me that we have to wait until we are dead to find our soulmate. So there you go. Happy hunting.......

I think part of it has to do with being someone you can tell "anything and everything" to>>> Like you would your best girlfriend/guyfriend.... You have to be that comfortable, I think... Although I'll admit, I thought I'd met my soulmate, but we couldn't seem to agree on a few issues that were the "deal breakers"....

some how finding a soul mate on line, can have its draw backs. To find who you think can be your best friend in ways never experienced before.
When trust was the key to every thing along with open communication

This feeling of who do I give my good news to first.

When I started this thread, I thought I had discovered a true soul mate and perhaps she is.
Only in time past, she followed me to this site and joined herself. Sure it was wonderful in knowing two good friends could enjoy the same things. Even if both were separated by half a world and several hours of a time difference.

Ten months later of her first contact, one day she decides life was different for her. Over the last two months of that 10, she becomes less interested. Even a family crisis on my end could not get her sympathy. Then as if what began from nothing, again feels like nothing

So was she a true soul mate, that begs the question. When at the same time, or way, I met a wonderful woman friend on this site and 6 months later she still is that wonderful friend.

Even if there are soul mates or those in a form equal to us in this world, do we need them?

My feeling is No!!!

All we need is True friends ~~~~

Your first friend was not a Soulmate
Just someone who thought along similar lines to you

If you ever have the opportunity to be with a Soulmate, you will realise just how wonderful they are
There is no feeling like it anywhere else
You become a complete being
You realise just how incomplete every other relationship was
Your life and hers will be inextricably entwined

True friends are great, but that is all they will ever be

There is absolutely that compares to the beauty and wonder of having a Soulmate in your life

It is just a pity they really are so rare
Perhaps if we all had the opportunity, they would not be quite as precious

Or perhaps they would

I doubt there is a definition of a "true soul mate." I could probably write pages and pages about the subject and for centuries people have attempted to describe things like love, loss, happiness, and so on. A true soul mate is something very special and many emotions cannot be described without referring to other emotions that are stronger then any spoken language can describe, and so on and on....see my point? To me, a true soul mate is not perfect but gives you that part in life that is always missing. Sometimes its that perpetual state of confusion that drives us, other times its that clarity that somebody gives us. It just depends on what is missing in our lives and who can fill that void at once is what some define as a "soul mate." But in all that jibberish, a true universal soul mate is somebody that you can drop your guard, relax, smile, look forward to seeing, and trust most of all. Its does not have to be a recipe for a relationship...just a really good friendship that few come across in their lives.

Well, to me, a soulmate is someone that loves you no matter what, someone that treats you with the respect that you deserves, that everyone deserves.

so, far i have no met my soulmate, all women tend to do is block me and say i am not their type of guy, just from a 'hello, care to chat?'

If a woman can't take the time to get to know me, she really isn't worth the time of day.

TO me... a soul mate is someone you have a connection with that goes beyond physical and mental attraction. It's someone who you connect to on every level and feel like yourself around. People today try too hard to make themselves appear attractive to the opposite sex and end up losing their identity in the process... a soul mate is someone who accepts you for everything you are and loves you unconditionally- the good and the bad.

I'm not a romantic. The idea of soul mates is a bit much to me.

I prefer to see people as kindred spirits instead of soul mates. Having an uncommon bond with someone is determined only by the ones in the bond.

It's easy to say' ohhhh he's my soulmate"...but there isn't any verifiable proof of such claims.

It's all just fluffy stuff romantics like to use to feel like love has more meaning than it does. Until they cheat on them or something, then oohhhhhhh doesn't their soulmate status just change so fast!LOL

Post 7 already gave us the dictionary definition -- works for me.

There's no mystical magical romantic destiny involved here, necessarily. Soul mates can be any age or gender or look like anything. They don't always reveal themselves immediately; and they don't come one to a customer.

It's the lack of explaining which helps you find each other and which feels so refreshing and even nourishing.

Your soul mates are just people with whom you relate well because you get each other, and you get each other because you're very alike in some very basic and satisfying ways.
