Differentkindofwench I enjoy your posts!

So funny..

So basically your point is that although not all of your relationships
lasted they were all meant to be?

I believe they all had their purpose, yes.

I agree in life you live and learn.

My question is not about the number of relationships. It's the question
on whether you believe that there is that one special someone you're
meant to be with until you die? The person you were made for?

Absolutely not. Soul Mate is a -marketing gimmick to get into the
pockets of the lonely, desperate, and socially maladjusted people,
emotionally crippled by their fantasies.

There are more online single sites than people. Everybody is looking
for their soul mate. Previous civilizations would not have survived
such foolishness.

Great topic to ponder.

Okay, okay Bored, I'll stick with the subject and give you the best
answer I can.

For some people, a soul mate as you call it is what is right and proper
for those two souls.

For others - nope, one only would apparently stunt/stagnate that soul's
growth.

thankyou swimsforrealgirl I really like your post. There are tons of
dating sites that use that line haha

Let me reword it.

If you meet someone that sparks an interest within your very soul it
then matters not how many other people you might find compatible for you
have found a person that is compatible.

If there is such a thing as a soul mate they will be placed in your
life.

Thankyou AB that clicks haha

"If you meet someone that sparks an interest within your very soul it

I think it doesn't matter how many other people are out
there in that case.

I don't know anymore....I used to think and believe there are soul
mates...any more I just don't know...I don't even know if all this love
stuff is even worth the effort put in to it

I heard a pastor once say that Adam had all of the characteristics of
man and woman. God took Adam's efeminate nature and created Eve.
According to him, when Adam saw Eve, his first thought was "I need
that". Not sex (Adam didn't have sex until after the fall), but her
softness. Men burn with lust for women, but according to this pastor,
Adam burned with desire for the intellectual and emotional attributes of
Eve. Once again, according to this pastor, each man and woman is only
50% of a whole and needs a mate to be complete. There is no scriptural
support for this belief, but it sounds romantic.

Hi CCP

I often get impatient waiting for that special someone but all run into
are guys that want that one thing...you know

So I'm trying to keep my hopes up

Spider that is VERY romantic

yeah Bored I know...after awhile though those types stop commin around..

CCP The moment they find out they're not getting anything they either do
2 extremes.

1. Too persisent or..
2. Run away

I've been single like..forever. Never had a relationship. I've dated but
that's boring

>> I don't even know if all this love stuff is even worth the effort put in to it

CCP, I think you are talking about the search for love, yes? (As opposed
to building an actual relationship, once you are in it...)

I've -never- been happy that I had put effort into looking for love.
But when I put energy into taking care of myself, sometimes it just
finds me.

Bored, you come up with the most fun topics.

In Hebrew and/or Yiddish (depends who you talk to), soul mate is
referred to as B'shert and is mentioned in the Kabbalah (mystical Jewish
writings). It is said that G-d decides the 'other half' of your soul at
birth.

I sure would like to believe this, but after one failed marriage and a
few not so great relationships, I'm not so sure. It sure is a beautiful
thought though.

Yes Mass, I was talking about the search..ehh never mind me I am just
not in a good place in my head right now...

massage I was always told love will find me and that's
when it's worthwhile because it last then.

I'm tired of waiting If I could catch it some how I
would

Thank you Michele. I really appreciate the compliment and
your post

Myself. I believe that you must look for certain traits in your
mate.Love can be blind. I did not find my mate in my religion. I looked
but the spark was not thier. My wife and me basically I believe found
each other. I was impressed by her compassion for other people. Taking
people in even though they used her. But she could not let them live in
the cold. That truely impressed me. Made me want to get to know her. She
has very little knowledge of the bible. Yet I told my own brothers in
the faith that to me she knows more about Yahweh and his will than
anyone I ever met. She has not come into the faith but she is learning
and encourages me. I love her dearly and I know she is a child of
Yahweh. Soulmate depends on your definition. I do know what I have
learned from studing the scriptures led me to her. I praise Yahweh every
day for her. May YHWH of Hosts Bless With True Shalom People Search For
Their Mates..... Miles
