Quote by MadMartigan
I don't subscribe to the "there's only one soulmate out there for you" theory.
I think there are several mutually compatible souls for everyone in this world. And you should consider yourself lucky when you find one, and not beat yourself up if one of them doesn't work.
The other half to that is that people become soulmates. They don't necessarily start out as one.

Brilliantly said.
My wife and I are soul mates. We're perfect for each other. There's no way I can't have her in my life. Now that's not to say there aren't dozens of other women out there who I'd be equally happy with, maybe even more so. But I'm the donkey she's shackled her wagon to, and that's the end of it. 'Til death do us part...the sweet release of death.

I believe soul mates exist, but not that they have to necessarily be romantically involved. A soul mate is someone you have a deep connection with.
Quote by Archadia
I don't believe in soul mates in the supernatural or destiny sense whatsoever, in the same way that I don't believe in fate. However I think that certain people have certain compatabilities with each other, based on their attaction parameters (and even then that doesn't matter), and that is the basis of whether or not a relationship can flourish. I don't think there is one person for everybody, I think everybody is for everybody, so long as there is a chemistry, attraction, a personality connection and a desire to be together. What more do you need than that?
I don't think that two people are destined to be together, real life isn't The Notebook.
Alot of people might find it depressing or unencouraging that their relationship isn't the work of some kind of supernatural love guru, but I think thats narrow minded and in fact I believe the truth it's quite the opposite. The infinate possibilities are amazing.
I think it's quite sad that somebody who is your 'soulmate', isn't somebody you're romantically involved with. I think the person I'm in a relationship with has to be the closest person to me in my life, and that there would be nobody else I would confide my feelings with before them.
I also think people set themselves too many parameters when it comes to chosing partners, because they are too specific with what they want, without really think it through. People have made poor decisions and ended up staying single because they didn't take a chance, and in hindsight it's their own mindset that has ruined them. People saying "I only go for a girl with big tits" or "I only go for tall guys" are shooting themselves in the foot by cutting people who could be perfect for them, out of the equation. Attraction is not a choice, so it's bizzare that some people set themselves such strict criterea, and often they end up regretting it.
My stepmother already admitted that my Dad is not the type of man she would usually go for, but she took a chance, now shes in love.

Nope.
That's a lot of pressure to put on someone as well. I believe you can have something like a 'short-term soulmate' - which often happens in the early stages of getting to know someone when you absolutely convince yourself that this is the best person in the world for you and the euphoria of connecting with them will never end.
But... then after that - life is flexible, people change, they grow. The likelihood that there is nobody else on the planet that could fulfill you in the same way (or in a better way) is impossible to gauge because you're probably looking at a rather small sample size compared to what's actually out there.
I don't like the concept of "you only have one soulmate" in general though because if you think you've identified "the one" for you and then inevitably as life happens, the relationship fails, then what does that mean? That you were wrong about the label you put on them (in which case, you could be wrong again and again), or that now that this person is gone, you are doomed to a life without real love. Again - wayyyy too much pressure.
If you can find someone that you connect with deeply and gives you that giddy high - just enjoy it - there's no need to look for higher meanings.
