Soulmates can’t exist - it’s not possible, right?
I’m a cynical person. I always believed you can fall in love with absolutely everyone.. it’s not “fate”, there’s no one destined to “complete” you - it’s just timing, attraction, and familiarity… ya spend enough time with someone, it’ll happen!
But if that’s true, then what the hell is this?! There’s someone, and, not only did we click, I know him better than most people I’ve known for years - and I barely know him!!! If that makes ANY sense. We’re on the same wavelength, and talk for hours, and I don’t know about him but afterwards I feel so wholly content and the usual million voices in my head are quiet - there’s only one, content, and cooly wondering what the hell the deal is with this guy..
We dated years ago (if you could even call that short encounter “dating”) and it was the same - suddenly became bizarrely close, then mere weeks after we got together it suddenly collapsed in a huge explosive disaster - a lot of it maybe had to do with the fact we were both freaked out at how fast things were going I think…maybe… I’m not sure. Also, finding it so easy to talk to each other, and getting on so freakishly well, meant when it looked as if it mightn’y work out, I went psycho-angry. I picked a viscious fight, but I was more angry at myself “for being stupid enough” to fall for the too-good-to-be-true connection we had - “I KNEW it was ********, he’s a pr!****!! I’m an idiot for trusting him!” etc..
But I haven’t seen him in years, until the other day he reappeared and both stopped dead in our tracks, then found a moment alone so we could both apologise eagerly, and now we’ve found ourselves closer than ever. Within a few hours we were talking like old friends - no, like family. We talked all night. And seems as if I didn’t just get fooled last time - there really IS something special there. Something odd, and frightening.
IF I add up the few weeks we were together before, and the few days we’ve seen each other since, I probably know him just over a month - a month scattered over two years, that is!! How can I be this intensely close to what is, essentially, a stranger? How can he finish my sentences and read my mind better than even my best friends? Am I being duped?
And it’s not infatuation. Unless I’m infatuated with his mind. The attraction’s not physical. It’s much, much more than that, and I can’t put a name on it.
And if anyone feels the need to say “it’s love at first sight” - just don’t post it! Because it’s not. It can’t possiblt be. BEsides… my cynical side might throw up…
Sounds like love to me. Not at first sight, that doesn’t work. A mutual understanding and kinship through sharing of self, that is entirely possible.
I am sorry but love is real and cannot be made between just any two people. It is a special connection, which you seem to have formed. Why not run with it and see what happens. You could be happy for the rest of your life. :D
Ya know, love doesn’t exist. There’s only attraction. And it’s slightly dependent on someone’s physical statue, but mostly on someone’s personality.

well dating is out of the question at the moment - i just broke up with someone a short time ago and i always avoid any sort of involvement for a month or two after anything like that..
we broke up for a real stupid reason minnie, we were both just in a bad place - last night we even talked about it, and both admitted the way we acted had very little to do with each other, we kind of just acted out - like, i took stuff out on him, resentments i still had for bad treatment from a different guy.. he said something similar..
I don’t beleive in soulmates either but I can believe that two extremely compatable people can meet and fall in love. You’re lucky to have a second chance to be together; maybe the timing wasn’t right the first time and maybe it isn’t right this time but there are people who accept that if they are meant to be together fate, or coincidence, will bring them to eachother again. Don’t jump into anything with him if you aren’t ready but don’t try to stop it either.
It certainly is too late now Luckette, we know it’s you! I’ll pretend i didn’t see it if you like?
Well you can stay in contact and go out for drinks/ coffee or whatever you both prefer whilst you both sort out your feelings? If it’s going to happen it will if you’re both doing things together. :)
yeah he was like, we really need to spend more time together, and i was like, yeah, even when i hated you, i still thought you were really cool, and then i was like, we’re gonna be really good friends! and that was my subtle way of saying, that’s all i want right now.. y’know? and since he can totally see through me, i assume he got that…
we can talk now! that’s the weird thing. it’s bizarre.. that’s the only word for it, like, we were talking about what happened before, and we were so cool about it we were even able to talk about the night we spent together - it was only when i got home that i realised, that should have felt so inappropriate, why didn’t it seem like it?

It didn’t seem wrong because you’re both soo right together silly! You are clearly a pair to behold, lucky girl. It’ll work out for you, I know it will. Best wishes :)
i dunno.. i’m just… especially after last time and it going so wrong, i always felt, that anyone who goes on about instantaneous attraction - like i used to - was an idiot - like i turned out to be (at least, that’s what i thought)
i’m afraid i’m getting carried away, too. y’know how girls can do that. especially after a break up! what if i’m making more of this than it is..?
rrrgh i’m just so confused. and my usual cynical, analitical mind is like, fried, cos this makes no sense at all..
(re: what minnie just said)
haha.. i hope so.. i suppose all i can do is wait and see…

well, it was, yeah, and im not prying, but i just always thought you have to grow to love someone. it takes time. and not necessarily a LONG time, it can be weeks, months… but we’re talking HOURS here… it was mere hours before i felt the connection the first time round. which is ridiculous!

the one I love I knew I loved the minute i saw her
we never hung out, we never really talked outside of school business, aside for the rare hello.
yet, 10 years after i still have feelings for her
It could be that they exist for some people, but sometimes they don’t. Some people may not be destine to be with someone, as if someone who dies young, unknowingly they aren’t destine to be with anyone but may believe that they were to be with someone in life. It dosen’t matter if they lived, for if they did, they still would not have found love. Some people’s destinies are different then others.
Then there is this possibility. It could be that there are people meant for other people but they can’t be together for various reasons. For example time, one person could be compatable with another but there is a big time gap, like if one person was born 50 years earlier then the other, it could be if they were born around the same time things could had worked for them. Similarly, another factor is location, some people can be compatable with each other it they got to meet each other but live far away from each other like if they lived on two different continents but can’t meet each other, but if they did, they would be perfect for each other.
This was just to awnser the question to the post’s title.
Soul mates exist. I met mine.. but we cant be together. There s a religion problem. Both of our parents are very conservative and they think hat it might be a problem if we get married.Im 22 and I ve never felt this way before in my entire life even though he has had a couple of girlfrinds before. We tried to stop it a several times but we cant stop talking to each other.. its soo addictive. :)lol
well for u i think u met yrs. just dont ever let tht person go. give it a try n c :). Its ammzing to knw taht u have some one hu will be there with u for the rest of yr life. :)
gud Luck
