| What is a soulmate? Posted: 6/27/2008 4:58:29 PM | I don't think that there can be "a" soulmate. In my view they are many. As individuals we grow & develop at different rates. Someone you meet at age 20 & is your soulmate then would be unlikely to be your soulmate when you are age 40.
Unless they are your siamese twin ! | |

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 6/27/2008 7:12:43 PM | a sole mate is: mutual understanding no need to compete no need to impress no need to lie they may judge but not sentence and it is done openly they will listen to your troubles and you theirs if they offer advice it is with you and your needs in mind not theirs. you are under no obligation to follow it, nor they yours. i guess the bottom line is. there is no competition between you. so the rest is a natural result of that. there does not need to be a romantic/sexual side to it. but if you find both together you've got it all!

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 6/28/2008 12:36:07 AM | I'd say, it's someone who can easily tune into your wavelength, and doesn't hate you for it!  | |
|
| What is a soulmate? Posted: 6/28/2008 3:50:20 AM | | Someone who accepts you for YOU. They don't care about your bad points, they love the good ones. Everyone has bad points and the day we all realise that is the day we will suddenly start finding soul mates. | |

I'd say it'd just be someone who gets you
So simply put, but absolutely spot on! You can keep all the flowery prose and romantic wish lists...someone with whom I can be myself - totally myself - without constantly having to explain or justify my actions....would be heaven.
...and if he's an energetic, imaginative shag too, that's a huge bonus!  | |

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 6/28/2008 7:07:19 AM | Soulmate?
My view is someone who you can feel at ease with, don't have to explain yourself to, does not judge, in fact someone you can TALK to , as in converse, and can listen to without having to be continually on guard . Basically someone you can Trust | |

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 6/28/2008 7:47:51 AM | I believe is something that girlies write on their profiles, without having any conception of its meaning - but it looks clever along with the little cancer bow and Maddie's angel!!!
It is whatever answers are discussed here, an over used term. Those that have been married and are no longer - did you marry someone who you knew was not your 'soul mate?' Or did you believe that person was at the time?
People change in life, sometimes react differently to a situation then they did a year ago - So for all the things you say your 'soul mate' is do you mean at that moment in time - because you may get a different reaction to the same situation in the future.
Today I have a hangover and am likely to react differently now then when i'm im ratarsed later! I'm glad I don't have a 'soul mate' scare the hell out of me! | |

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 6/30/2008 1:46:11 PM | | Not having found a soul mate as yet, does not make the word defunct nor obsolete. It does indicate that soul mates are rare and as a result usually not easy to find. If that is true, then it would generally take time and an extensive search to find your soul mate. How many profiles do you have to read, how many persons do you have to go out with to find your soul mate? As many as it takes to find her or him. And once you've experienced a relationship as soul mates, you will never settle for less again. | |

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 6/30/2008 2:21:52 PM | | Soulmate doesn't have to be a partner.....just someone you are glad you have encountered in your life and you know you will always keep in touch with them no matter the distance | |

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 7/19/2008 10:30:27 PM | | IMO *soulmate* relates to karmic connections. Although it is not a popular belief in predominantly christian cultures, In eastern philosophy it is believed that we have had countless past lives and existences, during which time we have met many other souls. The connection can be one of spouse, children/parent, friends, all sorts of things. When we meet people today, there are just a few that we click with, as if we have known them before, a sort of familiarity. This, to my mind, is a karmic connection, and it can be with same or opposite sex. The mistake many make is to believe that this connection must represent *the one true love* that they have been seeking in life. We all seek love, but love exists in many forms, and a soulmate can be any of the diverse connections that we have with others, not just a romantic interest. | |

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 7/20/2008 12:11:01 AM | I would use the word soulmate when I want to be ironic with 'perfect matches'
For example two of these media people both wearing the same style clothes and both having the same 'yes..we think so' opinion about everything and both wearing the same type of glasses with the black frame.
As I do not think the soul cares much about the looks and the dressing style. | |

A myth ..
It might be a myth for you Oggers, but for me its a mythter!!
For me I guess its just someone I can connect with on all levels (not just one if you know what I mean). I havent found my 'mythter' yet, but I am still hopeful that one day he will come out of hiding. | |

I don't think it is something you can quantify. I hope that it is just something you will know, both know even.
I don't think there is just 'one' soulmate out there either. It is more finding someone you just click with on every level for me. | |
|
| What is a soulmate? Posted: 7/20/2008 3:59:36 AM | Someone who totally understands you, never judges you and is totally honest with you no matter how they think you might react and someone who you can be yourself with.
Someone like my fella lol | |

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 7/20/2008 4:13:23 AM | a soulmate is someone who is the ying to your yang....
you soul sings and they hear your call.

someone who is the yin to your yang
That's it, right there.
IMHO, it's nothing to do with someone who's like another you, finishes your sentences (just means you're predictable!), fulfils your every need, etc.
Instead it's someone who takes the 'me' that I am on my own, and brings something new out of me - something that isn't there when I'm with others or on my own. And hopefully vice-versa.
A relationship between soulmates is that rare thing where the whole is greater than the sum of the individual people. I gave up looking years ago... :(
Might just take the advice above and look for a primate :) | |

| What is a soulmate? Posted: 7/20/2008 4:45:25 AM | Soul Mates are other souls that have agreed to connect with you on this planet for a purpose. In some cases it is to clear up karma, in other cases it is to finish unfinished business, and for some it is to accomplish a particular goal together. These relationships may be a joy to be in or these relationships may be a pain in your life. Either way they are here for a reason.
Do we really need a soul mate then? | |
