Posted: 7/25/2006 5:37:28 PM | well my thoughts on this would be . Ummm 38 is a lil young to be giving up on finding your soul mate. There are stories that people that are 60 are finding their soul mate.
MY suggestion would be not to give up!! There is someone out there for all of us.... well i live in hope!! | |

Posted: 7/25/2006 5:53:37 PM | | I think you are too old to meet your soul mate when you are dead. Even this I am not 100% sure of as I don't know 100% what happens after you die. | |

Posted: 7/25/2006 7:55:07 PM | I will be 37 this year, and while I also have not met my soul mate, I have had two long term relationships, both of which were loving and I learned something from.
I truly believe that people come into your life for a reason and when you are ready. Don't give up. You still have a lot of good years left and I am sure, a lot to offer the right person, when you find each other.  | |

Posted: 7/25/2006 9:23:39 PM | I wasn't looking for my soul mate. I think, in terms of ethereal attachment, there are any number of people who could have a strong and powerful bond to share with me. In terms of my other half, there is the inference that I am not whole to begin with, and last I checked, I was complete all on my own. In terms of earth-shattering falling in love, I finally did it and it was great. It did take 38 years but the only thing holding me back from it was me, we can fall in love anytime-it just might not always be requited. In terms of being ready to fall, I'm all geared up to do it again, since I've opened up my wee heart to the experience of being in love, I'm not fearing rejection, I've learned that a man's rejection of me is no measure of my worth. Love from me is a gift, with no strings attached.
In terms of, will I find the person I can spend the rest of my life with? I think that's the rare one, timing is everything, can two very compatible people remain compatible over the years in this modern world? I'm 38. it's ok to be alone, it's ok to be single, it's ok not to have a date or even a casual friend with benefits-it might have its bad moments, but the more I find the good moments, the more I'm willing to find the balance between actively looking for my mate while being content and learning to live as fully as possible as is.
Fear nothing-everything you fear, you will face.

Posted: 7/25/2006 9:26:02 PM | | I would have to say there have many times lately that I've felt the same way. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I am a pathetic romantic and every so often that will slip in and give me hope. (Even at 40...I love that) don't give up, it's never too late to be swept off your feet | |

Posted: 7/25/2006 9:38:02 PM | It's NEVER too late!
if you believe there is only ONE soulmate in this world, well i don't think the chances are very good of finding her. However, I believe there are MANY women who would be right for you and vice versa.
i'm older than you and still haven't found mine, even though I was married for most of my adult life. I'm sure you will find her.....but maybe you need to be more open and look for someone different than you have been? Maybe you have let some good ones slip by?
Anyway, positive thinking will change your life. So don't give up! Maybe you're not ready for her, or she's not yet ready for you. Who knows how it all works?
But you are way too young to think "it's too late." It's only too late when you give up, lose all hope, and become negative. And at that point, you can turn it all around again if you want.
Good luck.

Posted: 7/25/2006 11:13:10 PM | I may throw a little spin on this. Though I don't feel old (I'm 35), at times I get the feeling that the "soul mate" is a buzz word. Sure I can find a partner/companion, but I believe a "soul mate" may be a fantasy. Does this constitute as "settling" for what you can get? I for one don't want to settle I want to have the works in a potential mate; attraction, respect, affection...blah, blah. but I can't honestly feel or believe I will have a soul that will connect in all levels, if and it ever happens in my life, I suppose it will be a supernatural experience, is this what you call love? Man, I'm confused, I need to sleep..zzzz. | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 9:46:10 AM | i've finally given up...just tired of trying, putting myself out there and guys lying and taking advantage. i do believe in soulmates but i'm at the point where i don't really think the universe has one for me, or my soulmate was someone i wasn't supposed to be with and it is dead and done.
i'm in my 30s, no chance to now have family and all that stuff. it hurts. i know people have lots of positive tihngs and say keep tryng, have hope, and for others, that's great. i wish i still had hope. but how do you regain hope when every time you believe, you end up having your heart have a knife through it? | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 9:51:15 AM | | Totally gotta agree with guitarman, look, focus on being totally happy in your life and trust me you will find the person you are looking for. You are totally not too old, you are just beginning man! Hang in there cause your soulmate is out there somewhere. Just enjoy and love life and be happy being alone and like they say the rest is all gravy. | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 10:01:18 AM | | gravy is good; especially on toast.....I'm just glad I DIDN'T find my soulmate & then find out he's a slob with a big hairy dog that wants to eat all my food & lay on the couch all day....careful what you wish for.... | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 10:02:26 AM | I don't think 38 is at all too old. I don't think there is *ONE* person out there for each of us - I think there can be more than one that you connect with, click with on a very deep level and I think these connections can be found at ANY age. My grandpa, bless his heart, passed away last year in his late 90's and he had a lovely woman he was very close to for the last year of his life, after burying two wives whom he loved very much, and with whom he had a very deep connection.
If what you're doing isn't working, you need to try something new! | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 4:17:58 PM | | I am 36 and I feel that its never too late to meet your soulmate....and I do believe in that, and fate. The only thing I had a hard time coming to grips with, is at 36, my time to create a family with my soulmate is nearing its end. I cherish my son but unfortunately, his dad turned out NOT to be my soulmate. Thats where you gentlemen have one up on us women.....u can make families waaaaaay past when we can...... | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 4:25:30 PM | Ekkkkk........... if 38 is too old then I guess 42 is just freaking pathetic......
Honestly..... soulmate........ maybe......... someone who you can share the rest of your life with and actually enjoy it........ now that is what I'm looking for.
A friend told me I was trying/looking too hard......... if I just gave up then the right guy would just come walking into my life like that..... snap*. But I guess I'm just a lonely gal who really really doesn't want to miss the possibility for happiness........ sad isn't it | |
