No, but then I don't really believe in a soul either. It's a nice idea though.

Nope. I believe there's some people out there I'm more suited to than others, but not soul mates. Besides, all good relationships are at least a little dysfunctional at times!

Poll now there Claire, you were just a ninja as I was setting it up.

And I don't think there is either. I think we all have a purpose in life and sometimes we can get distracted by someone else... I'm coming at this from a religious point of view so I wanted to get others opinions.

I believe in soulmates. I am kind of a hopeless romantic at heart so it is natural for me.

I believe that their is someone out there for everyone but we don't always find that person and that is not saying you can't love someone else because you can. My idea of a soulmate would be someone who is my other half and completes me [yes I know it sounds corny but oh well]. I can't really explain it very well blah.

I may believe in soulmates but I feel that it is more common that we don't find them. I think in life we go through different loves and that isn't a bad thing because eventually we find someone we truly love and are good with.

I am aware I am not explaining myself very well but it is hard to put it into words since it is just something I feel is true in my heart so I guess I am done trying lol.

No other sadness in the world would do

No. We meet people who elicit chemical responses. THen we grow to care for their personality traits.

I don't believe in soul mates. I think that every relationship takes work and compromise from both ends, even if the love is there. I know it's pessimistic but I'm not the most romantic person in the world!

lol I feel so alone. *sits in corner alone* I am just one of those people who prefer to live in fantasy rather than reality and since I have never been in love I just imagine what it will be like.

I mean someone who completes you, who makes you whole.

(like Adam and Eve in Genesis... yes I know I'm being all Christian but it was a conversation the other day at uni (Bible College) that got me thinking about this).

I'm taking this from a Christian angle because my life is my faith and so that is why I'm asking this question to all yous, I want to get different, secular and religious (for lack of a better word) opinions. This is what I wrote in my latest blog post, about soul mates:


Soul mate, do we all have one? I think that God knows, I don't believe that there is someone out there for everyone. It is clear that God calls some people to live a life celibate for him. For example, one of my tutors at university is single. He lives a life completely for God, one that I'm sure would have been different if he was married. Sometimes we have to be single to walk the path set out for us and do the work God calls us to do.

My last relationship has so many great things that came out of it but I do believe that it blinded both of us from what God had planned for us. I believe that we were too wrapped up in not being alone and trying to make our relationship work that, I certainly, took my eyes off God and lost my way. Once I got back on the path again I realised that us being together was not the best thing for anyone. We broke up and it was hard, it still is.

I struggle with being single, I have very low self-esteem and I just want someone to love me. I know God does but I long to have someone to hold me and kiss me on the forehead and hold my hand. I long for this, I long for my soul mate... if I have one.

I struggle with physical touch with guys, I think this will be one thing that will help me know if I meet the right guy... I will feel at ease with him and not jump when he goes to hold my hand or hug me.

So then, soul mates. I don't believe we all have one, I would like to think we do but it is clear that God calls some to be single for life. He calls us to all be single for parts of our lives, I believe this is so we can grow and become closer to him.

My prayer tonight, then, is that I will find my worth in God, trust more in him and follow where he leads. Do I have a soul mate, I don't know but what I do know is I have God. Even when I don't feel him he is there, when I don't hear him he is there, when I don't want him he is there. He is always there, no matter where I am.

That is a good point of view to have on the subject. My view is based on how I feel and what I truly believe.

I believe in god but my religious views tend to be all over the place and the only thing I am sure of is that god exists and that he gives me hope for a better life. I guess my belief of soulmates tends to stem from the fact that I truly believe we aren't meant to be alone in this world and that their is someone out their who will love us for who we are and that they will somehow be the missing part of us that we have always been looking for.

I am also a very self conscious person and my self esteem is not the best so I worry that I will spend my whole life alone which is frightening. I am one of those girls who dreams of love and someone to share my life with who will love me for who I am although I am not stupid I understand that there will be hard times and it won't always be perfect and I know it will take work and I am willing to work at it. I don't believe in love at first site though because I personally don't start liking someone until I spend time with them and get to know them.

I can't say much about love since I have never experienced it but it is something I hope for in the future.

I'm that girl too... I really hope and long to be with someone for life, but I know it's not always that way... I just hope I'm one of the lucky ones to find someone amazing who loves me for me, faults, failures and successes

Basically no. I believe people are too unpredictable and changeable to 'complete each other'- what may be what they require in one moment may be wholly and completely different and at the opposite end of the scale from what they require in the next moment.

And what Jodie said, the science behind it leaves no real room for God or the fluffy idea of soul mates in my head. That being said, Im an utterly confused person in that I would quite like to meet someone like that even though I do not believe they exist.

lol I am the only one in my family who even believes in the idea of love and soul mates. Logically I probably shouldn't believe in such things because of my past and all of the stuff my mom has been through but idk I guess I just hope for something more.
My biggest fear is people changing. I have seen marriages fall apart and it's inevitable because people do change and sometimes love just isn't enough to save a relationship which scares the heck out of me.

I just prefer to live in my own little bubble of fantasy and unrealisticness.
