Soulmate question??

I have been confronted with the question of "Do you believe in soulmates?"...

Hmmm... I do think that their are people whom are of kidred spirits, whom lead the same paths as you and breath within the circles you follow...

and also believe their are negative soulmates as well as positive ones whom are here to get you through your journey...

I cant respond without sounding like such a flake... Help!!! I need some elaboration on the subject...

    I used to believe. I still kind of do but I realised that it is possible for you and your soulmate to part ways. Just because you might be destined for each other doesn't mean you will be together, human choice can still play a factor.
    I also think it doesn't have to be a romantic thing. Two people can just connect on a level beyond that. Make your flaky response. Who cares? :) we need more openly idealistic people in this world.

    I too believe that there are soulmates in a non romantic sense...

    thanks... I hate sounding flaky though...

    I get that question every so often...I honestly don't know WHAT I believe. I mean, I really WANT to believe in soulmates, it's such a sweet idea. And, if I do believe, I definitely don't think we just get one...because how sucky would that be if you never found him/her?!

    I think it's a sweet idea...but totally unrealistic and illogical.

    I think it's possible to find someone with whom you are extremely compatible...but I think the idea that there is a person just waiting to magically find you and love you forever is silly. :D

    Then again, sometimes I think we meet the people we are supposed to meet us...and teach us about life. And then sometimes I don't. I'm all over the place with this stuff! :D

    It does sound silly, I agree. That is until it happens.

    :)

    Well, god, I sure hope it doesn't happen to me! I'm married to the love of my life. :D

    No, sometimes I think we were meant to meet each other. We lived 800 miles apart and met randomly on here, actually. And if there is such a thing, I know he's mine. But then, at the same time...sometimes I think we're all just a bunch of apes and nothing means anything more than what you see on the surface. Does that make sense?

    I constantly struggle with the question of "are we here for a reason, or are we just here?"

    I'm rambling. :D

    I struggle with the same things though I do believe there is a reason. It's just hard to reconcile that with my complete rejection of god and religion. I believe in spiritual and metaphysical things, however unlikely they are. I just know that I have only ever had one relationship (and I don't mean a romantic one, though I loved her that way as well) that seemed to be on a complete other plane from any other. I hope, though I am sceptical, that we don't just get one person though because if so I missed the boat :o which would be depressing for someone my age.

    Exactly, for someone your age. You don't just get one person. All of the people and screwed up relationships along the way are there for a purpose. That purpose is to help you in your search for those perfect people. You learn what you like, dont like, what you can deal with etc.

    Oh I know. Thing is, you could go through life as happy as you expect to be, get married, have kids and die old with your family around you. Doesn't mean you didn't miss out on your soulmate though, if such a thing exists :) There's a funny thought...

    I do not believe in soulmates. If I did, I would not spend my time hooking up with sexy men. If you are a female, (which I am sure you are from this thread), you should try it. Never limit yourself on what you might find! ;)
    so boys......where do you want me?

    I believe 100% in soul mates
    and i know I met mine

    but, um, it didn't work out :)

    so I guess there must be another one out there for me

    but I absolutely 100% believe in it.

    I can never tell if I believe in soulmates because I want to believe in soulmates or if they actually exist.

    Seemingly there are people that are together that are just meant to be.
    I've never experienced it so it's hard to comment.

    I'm always wary of buying into this "happily ever after" bullshit that people are fed from birth.

    It would be nice to feel that you were with someone that understood you, that you were destined to be with, that you held above all others, but I can't see it happening really. People make connections and they go with them and see where they lead I guess and when it fucks up they find someone else.

    meh, I have no idea what I'm trying to say. :o
    NOPE!!!

    I have met and married my soulmate, we are just way to compatible not to be soulmates.

    I believe in soulmates. sometimes destiny brings unique and mystical events together that results in two people finding each other. then along with that you may find that you can totally be yourself with that person because you both have quite alot in common, both of you understand each other and your spirits are so closely aligned along the same path.

    so yeah call me flakey. I hope that I meet him someday soon. :)

    I don't think it's flakey pris. :) It's great that you see it that way and I do too I guess to a lesser degree, just don't see it being a happening in my life. I realise that others can and do have this kind of connection and it's a wonderful thing to see. I just don't think I will be experiencing it for any sustained amount of time is all.
    NOPE!!!
