I don't believe in forever. I believe in love. I'm not sure if there's a person meant for another one. What do you think?

Is it possible that there is a person that is just entirely perfect in absolutely every, who will love you as much as you love them?
Let me say again: is it POSSIBLE?
Sure, it's completely possible. It's also possible that there are whales in space, and that ghosts exist, and that the Mayans were right about 2012.

It it PROBABLE that you will ever meet this perfect person?
Looking at statistics: there are ~7billion people on this planet, and you're looking for only one. Then you have to factor in the realization that this one person is very likely nowhere near wherever your current location is, and that they could hypothetically be on nearly any of the six continents (excluding Antarctica due to its very small population). Do all the math and... well, it's a really big number...
Is it probable? Absolutely. Anything is probable. But it is not freakin' likely.

On the bright side, statistically, your soul-mate probably lives somewhere in southeast Asia.

I don't believe we are born destined to be with one person, but I believe everybody has someone out there who's absolutely perfect for them. I've found mine :-)

I do believe in soul mates because I have found mine. It is not what I expected it to be, though. It's not like talking to yourself, not a bit. It's more like feeling home. It's like breathing words. It's someone that really understands every single one of your words, even if you can't find the right words. It's someone that knows so much about you that he can see how much of you is hidden still. It's this one special person that will spend the rest of your life with you just to find out what's the reason for you living. It's a person that cares about your life rather than his own.

There's no arguing that there are those out there who you are far more compatible with than others, but the concept of soul mates is just a silly romanticized idea. If it really were true that there were only one person out there, out of the whole world's population, then the chances are that only a handful of people would ever discover their true partner.

I met the man I'm going to spend my life with in an English lesson when I was twelve. We're perfectly suited and have a wonderfully harmonious, relaxed relationship. However, as much as I love him, I know that were something to happen between us or had we never met, I would eventually find someone else who I'd be happy with.

In short, I think there are millions of potential 'soul mates' out there, and by assuming there is that single 'one' you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot.

No.

I have a realistic view on love and life. I don't believe in soul mates because, based on the amount of people on this Earth, the chances of me finding my soul mate is very slim. And, like Chris said, statistically, your "soul mate" probably lives in Southeast Asia, considering the most people on Earth live in that portion of the world.
But, of course you're going to find the person who fits you as best as they can and that's good enough for me.

I believe in forever. But I believe it takes a LOT of hard work and determination.

I absolutely do not believe in soul mates. There are so many people in the world, what would the odds be of that ONE person who you are "meant" to be with bumping into you in a local club?

There are many, many people out there who would be perfectly compatible with you. You only need to find one of them.

@Katie L.

Coincidentally my boyfriend's mum is from South East Asia (although he was born in the UK) so maybe he is actually my soul mate :-)

I'm going to agree with Chris and say that it's possible, but not probable.

I think it's possible, but that it very, VERY rarely happens.

I believe in soul mates =]

I met my love almost 3 years ago and we fell in love at first sight. We've been together for 2 and a half years now and share everything with each other. He's not just my boyfriend, he's also my best friend and we do everything together. I can't imagine life without him.

I'd love to shout out ''No. Fuck that'' in a childish rage, but that's simply because of how bitter I currently am about certain relationships from my past.

Deep down though, I guess there's a possibility of someone really special out there who won't eventually fuck me over. I'm fed up of 'love' at the moment though, too much pain when it goes wrong.

I am a really loving person though, I kinda miss having a great girl to love / be loved by.. I almost wish I was a really cold person so that this shit wouldn't hurt me anymore, fuck, its amazing what a girl whom I love can do to me emotionally.

I don't think there are soul mates, and no i haven't found them if there are. I would like it if i found him, but like Levi i also feel very bitter right now and am fed up of people screwing me over. I miss being in a relationship, especially snuggling but now looking back just fills me with bitterness because it seems like it must have all been lies and he didnt care about me all along :/

Soul mates seems so unlikely to exist, i think you have to work at any relationship

not really.

but if i'm going to be totally honest, there's still a tiny part inside the cold, heartless cynic in me that wants it to be a possibility. possibility, not belief, because we can't be certain anyway. it must be the product of reading too many fairytales when i was younger.

Yes and no. I do believe that there can be a couple which resemble a lot in character, habits, opinions. But I don't think that there is only THAT ONE soulmate.

And yes, I found mine (or one of my soulmates). Even if we argue almost daily I'm sure I can call him a 'soulmate'. It's like we are basically the same person but had to make a decision once. And we chose different aims and therefore became still really similiar, but yet not identical personalities.
