So does anyone here believe in soul mates, other halfs, love of your lifes? Someone you're destined to give your heart to?
Cause I do. Like since I was three... anyone else out there believe that or is just me?

Honestly? I don't know. I used to, but I find that things I believed when I was younger slowly pass as I learn more about the world.

In my personal opinion (and I truly hope that I don't offend anyone), I don't really believe in "soul mates". To me, that term means one specific person. One. Yet there are multiple people that claim they have found "the one", seperate from them, then have numerous "the ones" after that. To some this may just mean that they were too controlled and/or blinded by their surging emotions, and mislead themselves into believing that they have found their soul mate, per se.
As I said before, I don't really believe in all that. It seems like people worry their lives away trying to find their fated other half, when there are more important things that need more attention (completely not saying love isn't important). In my family, just about every single adult as been married, divorced, and either got remarried or stayed single. This makes it hard for me to believe in soul mates when people can basically trick themselves into thinking that they have found this person. I guess what I'm trying to say with that is that long-term love for me is hard to believe in, since it has failed so much in my family. Love in general is hard for me personally; I feel extremely uncomfortable being so attached to someone in such a way (basically, I have trust issues).
Secondly, I believe that people are on this earth to learn something, in a spiritual way. Something like, your soul, spirit, etc. has multiple lessons to learn before it can become "perfect" (for lack of a better word). Until then, it will reincarnate after the body dies. To me, being so connected and involved in another's life in such a way means holding yourself back. I know it may sound extremely selfish and like I'm supporting people being single, but that's not the case. I'm all for people finding someone else to love, hell I wish I had someone I could love and them feel the same way. But I feel that the soul is already whole, and instead many people think their soul mate is their other half, in a way. I may be taking this all too seriously, but this is how I feel on the subject.
As I said before, I really don't want to offend anyone or sound like I'm trying to crush someone's beliefs because I completely and utterly respect them.
(P.S.-- Sorry this was so long, I didn't mean it to be... sweatdrop )

i believe in soul mates and fate. i cant imagine i would have met my husband if it wasnt for fate.
even if something happens and my husband and i seperated i would still believe he was my soul mate. i know we were meant to be together even if it isnt for the rest of our lives. i know i could never fall out of love with him even if for some reason we ended up hating each other

I find it hard to believe that two people are "meant for each other" and that soul mates exist. Mainly because as a species, we tire of people and we find ourselves jumping from relationship to relationship. Just because a person is just like you and shares all of your interest doesn't mean you should get dating. Also, not all of us are interested in relationships or finding "the one". People aren't perfectly fitted like jigsaw pieces. And sometimes you'll even find yourself in relationships with people that are completely different for you.
Also it seems kind of stupid because one person will pursue another thinking that they are "soul mates" whilst the other would have no idea and think that they don't love them back.
I dunno how to explain it though. XD

The Ouroboros Alchemist Shanna66 [everyone has their own beliefs and opinions and thats what makes this world such an amazing place to live in I tend to apologize A LOT (it's kind of a problem...) sweatdrop Your prolific apologies deeply offend me. Onto the topic at hand, no, of course not. I don't believe in fate, as I don't believe in a deity. The two are mutually exclusive, as fate requires some sort of guiding intelligence behind it, to exist. Besides that, it's completely irrational, deeply unscientific, and devoid of logic and reason. Even without this, who would want to believe in fate? If I did, I would never try for anything, because no matter how much or how little I tried at anything, it would end up the same way, so logically speaking all effort would be wasted effort.

I'm really undecided on this topic to be honest.
After 3 relationships going south, I started to think that I wasn't meant to be with anyone. However, part of me feels that the person I'm with now could be that one person...yet there's always a voice in the back of my head, telling me they're not...

I don't believe in soul mates. I think there are multiple people out there we can fall for, and eventually love fully.

I do not believe in this either... there are many people we meet on our journey that we could love. i believe that love is a choice. we are not under a spell. it comes from our will. "soul mates" to me very much sounds like something out of our control: "they were meant to be together." posh! they chose to be together. in my opinion, it appears to be an excuse for those whom no longer make an attempt to make their relationship work: "we were just not meant to be. that person was just not the one" perhaps, i am wrong. in any case, i believe that one encounters many people in one's life who teach him about the world and himself.
although at times i am led to believe that there might be some type of energy that pulls certain people together in life at distinct times. *shrug*

In my personal opinion, its just smoke and mirrors.
Theres no such thing, in my belief.
I have personal reasons for thinking so, many of them linked to science. Just really, REALLY dont feel like spouting a speech right now. That and I dont want to give off the feeling that Im correct and everyone is wrong. By my views, and that of science, it is untrue.
(But even I have to admit there are events in the world unexplained by science).

Soul mates? A romantic idea but one I don't believe in. The reasoning, I've been in love, great love more than once. Nor would I really want to believe in it. The odds of finding that one person in billions is bad.

I do and I don't.
Part of me thinks there's someone out there for you so keep your head up.
And part of me thinks what if there isn't someone? What will you do then?
I am conflicted. neutral
