Re: Soul mates
What do you think the chances of finding your soul mate are?
Do you think that for each of us the ONE exists in this lifetime?

More realistically, is it that we can just find people to be with happily til the end?
 Quoting: Qarley


To me, that sounds like settling. I know too many people who did that. And they are all divorced. And now that I met someone who's grabbed my heart in ways I didn't think possible, how am I suppose to know what's normal or not?

And I am sure people get married, being soul mates, and still divorce.

So nothing's for sure at all. It all sucks...eh.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24512322


Yes, but finding your true soul mate would be dependant on your own self. Your personal impeccability. If you yourself are not ready to receive such a love then how could it ever last?
 Quoting: Qarley


True.

The guy who I feel like is my soul mate, I learned to not settle. He opened my heart into receiving love. I just wish it was with him. I wish for once, I could get the guy. And of all the guys I have liked, he's one I really wished I had.

Seeing him, I feel my whole body fill with sadness. I stopped talking to him at work, since his gf works there. And I know she knows I like him. When I found out he was taken, I felt like I shouldn't try. If he felt the same, he would of dumped her by now. He still looks at me, and it confuses me. I got so shy when he would chat me up, I wasn't used to the attention either.

It's one of the most irritating experiences in my life. I pray to God for wisdom. I have this itching what if part going against "he is taken" part.


I have tried to like other guys, but nothing compares...nothing. This deep connection I feel when we look at each other. It's intoxicating. I rather just be single than settle. I'll go on dates with other guys, but I feel nothing. I try to move on, but this itching feeling won't let me. It doesn't feel right.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24512322


There is a learning experience in everything. Perhaps this guy is still teaching your heart to be receptive of love so that when mr right comes along (whether in this life time or not) your soul will be ready. You can overcome the sadness. Not to say is bad to feel that way. Just don't let it consume you. Always stay positive and open to new things otherwise you could miss your chance,

Re: Soul mates
Agreed, can't say much more. I'll tell you what though even my 10 yr old daughter sees his lack of strength and sometimes it's hard to move forward with this relationship.
 Quoting: Rochelle


you could always try to subliminally teach him how to be masculine...hahaha
 Quoting: Qarley


Ya I've tried. Ahahahaha! Just deal at this point there's no way out. I told him if I make it to 40 my ass is gone traveling weather you come or not that's his business. He's afraid to leave the country so we shall see.
 Quoting: Rochelle


well i hope good things for you both. How long have you been married. There is always a way to communicate honestly and grow together. It is never to late for that, considering there was an initial spark that led to the marriage in the first place.
 Quoting: Qarley


5 years now and believe me I have communicated, I'm big on that. We will be ok I am just the man in this. Lol!

Re: Soul mates
I know my soulmate. The feeling is mutual.


Still she chose others and has a family now.

Neil Young's spng The Loner resonates with me:

"On the day that she left, he died, but it did not show"

We do keep contact though which is hard sometimes.

Re: Soul mates
What if you find that "soul mate" but yet he is taken?

It is so hard not to compare everyone else to the feelings the "one" evokes.

That is my dilemma. The one I have found will never be mine but I can't stop comparing others to him.
 Quoting: NothingFancy


I am in the exact place. I don't know how to cope...move on. How long have you known this soul mate?

Have you let them know how you feel? Or because they are with someone, you backed away? Do you still talk to them?

How the hell do you cope?

Does he show he feels the same way? And if he's taken, do you assume if he stays with her, he probably doesn't feel the same way?

Love is complicated.

You'd think that we would all just live happily ever after with that ONE perfect person but it RARELY works out that way. Just look around.

But sometimes dreams do come true, and from the bottom of my heart, I hope they do for you.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24512322



I have known him a little over two years. He is my best friend. We talk all the time. He has been there for me for every obstacle and every problem in this time period.

I do not know what I would do without him. I told him how I felt and then backed off. I didn't want the friendship to be under false pretenses. I stopped talking to him for well over a week and he contacted me because he missed our friendship.

I do not know how he feels. He isn't the "emotional" type. I honestly don't ask questions that I may not like to hear the answers to. Therefore, I accept the boundaries and wish for what may be. Maybe someday.

Is regret or rejection better to live with?

That's the question I deal with.

I posted another thread on how to move on from a soul connection, and it seems like it impossible at the moment.

As someone else respond, accepting "What Is" is a VERY hard.

And not being able to tell him how I feel kills me. I feel like if he rejects me, I can move on. But since he's a taken man, I feel like it's wrong to even tell him.

Re: Soul mates
Moronic concept.

Not only is there no such thing as a soul, but relationships and love are built on chemical reactions in the brain.

Even if there was a soul, it would have nothing to do with building a loving relationship.

There is not just one person out there for someone. The concept is moronic. Also there are more females than males in the world. This one to one ratio does not hold up.

God also must have fucked over the Chinese because the current generation is 60 million females short...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9425489


That is an opinion and even though i do not agree on all counts i respect it.

Curious do you seek a loving relationship?
 Quoting: Qarley


It is actually not an opinion. The non-existence of a soul is a fact. The concept of a soul was simply made up with out any evidence. Just like it is a fact that a flying spaghetti monster does not control the universe.

Also the chemical reactions that produce loving bonds between people are very well understood.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9425489


People like you are so simple. Quantum physics says otherwise about a notion of a soul, scientifically. There is more evidence for it, than against it.

That evidence includes:

Scientific and circumstantial. You are just spouting off another belief by stating souls do not exist are a "fact".



Most of the things you were taught as facts aren't even facts, and that includes evolution.
