i believe in those who complement us in cosmic and incomprehensible ways. i just love people like that. they make me go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Other half? Better half? As if I'm not whole and better than fine as I am?

I get your point but a soul mate is not someone who completes you, if you can't do that on your own, no other person can do that for you and to put that burden on someone else is grossly unfair and an impossible standard for someone to live up to.

But, to answer your question, I do believe in soul mates, I believe there is more than one for everyone, they come in both sexes, animals, all shapes, forms and colors. They are not relegated solely to a romantic role and they come into your life for just a moment or may stay in your life for long periods of time. They serve a purpose to your soul as you do for theirs.

yeah i'm a believer

sure do, but I also realize that soulmates don't make for perfect partners. And yet no matter how difficult it is you are still inexplicably drawn to them.

You know they will make you furious and still you love them, unconditionally.
Time together ceases to exist as we know it.
Time apart is just a prelude to what is to come.
Things they do never cease to amaze you
And yet, it's as if you know everything about them.
You feel their pain and exhault in their joy

I don't believe there IS one other half. I think that there are many people with whom you feel that deep connection. It may not even be on a romantic level, or even with the opposite sex.

I think that people pass through your life at certain times for they are needed, and that you should appreciate and value whatever time you have.

The idea of a 'soulmate' seems like a marketing ploy by Hallmark.

"SOUL MATE"

Only happens when you find that certain person. We are not meant to be "solitary" beings. When/if you find that certain soul, you get a feeling, that never changes. You may argue, fight, still have life's normal problems; even get seperated by choice or things beyond your control. Thing is, that feeling of a "joint soul" never leaves. Is seperated, there becomes a permanent emptiness, that never gets filled.
I never believed in "soul mates" till it happened. Since she died, I have dated, had relationships, all the stuff. There is just a constant sense of something missing, that none has filled, for the past 12 years.

Lots more to our story, to much to put here.

SOUL MATES...only one to a soul.

Opinions of one that is there & living without the physical person, her soul is still here.

I do believe in soul mates. I do not believe a soul mate is my other half nor are they someone who completes me, I'm quite whole thank you. It seems to me that there are whole cohorts of souls out there to whom we are inextricably connected. They may be friends, family members and/or love mates.

I have a sister who is my soul mate. I was lucky enough to have a soul mate to whom I was married. Like oldsage, I am experiencing that "emptiness that never gets filled." Since I believe we have many soul mates, I am hoping that I will find another to be a love mate.

Love comes in varying levels.
Love mates can be found & are one of life's many blessings.

Yes they do!!!! Had mine lost her in a car accident. She was a true blessing to my life and made me a better person. So keep looking for yours nothing will make you or them happier.
