Soul mate is defined as: someone for whom you have deep affinity.
Is this the same as your definition or do you see it differently?
Do you have a soul mate? Or did you HAVE him/her and they left.
Can you have more than one soul mate?
Here is my answer before we get the discussion started. Yes, I do believe in Soul mates. That one person that is only for you. And you are only for that person. You may not be a perfect match made in Heaven, but somehow it works. Yes, I DO have my soul mate. The one person I want to spend my entire life with. [yeah, Im young, but love knows no age. We have been through more than most adults we know ever will.] I am not sure if there is a such thing as more than one soul mate because I found mine and never want to find out if another one exists. This is my quick take on the issue. More things will creep up once myLotters enter the discussion and get the wheels turning :)

Very true. Sometimes, either one or both parties involved do not realize or are not in the point in their life to see that they belong together.
Or outside influences prevent it [health, distance, family, kids, etc.]
Keep hanging on, you never know what the future holds...

Oh, I'm not really worried about my love life. I'm very much happy...and me and my boyfriend are expecting our first baby. 
As for my ex/soul mate...we did had a chance to be together. But the problem is that, he was already with someone else when we did so. So...my boyfriend now pretty much saved me from a wrong relationship.

When I was a little girl my mother would laugh and say I was special. She would joke that it would take somebody who was very special to be with me. I never really knew what she meant, but true to form, my mom was right, his name's Travis, and we waited a long time for eachother.

Same with me. There is only one person who could really deal with what I put to the table, same with him. Take it or leave it [we both took it]
Congrats on finding Travis =]

I do believe that there is one soulmate for every person and I know that I am lucky to have met my soulmate early in my life. The thing that made me able to tell that my husband is my soulmate was that when we first met we were totally on the same wavelength. The first time that we ever talked on the phone I immediately knew that he was the person for me. By the end of the first day that we met in person, we were able to finish each other's sentences.

I do believe there is a soul mate for every person. Unfortunately I have yet to meet mine. I was married and thought my ex was my soul mate, but it turns out I was wrong.

Yeah,I used to believe in soul mates but not anymore.I thought I met hi but he left me for someone else.We were so good together and even now when we talk there is that sparkle still there but he believes we were not meant to be so am thinking that maybe I was delude and there is no soul mate,just people we choose to love and be with x

I believe that there are people that are soulmates to one another; I feel I came real close to the man I'm with now. The sad thing out of this is he's been married twice and in a long term relationship and he has battle scars behind them as well. Not mentioning what I went through with my own marriage. But I feel that once you let something go and embrace what you really want, you'll get it. But you got to want it and trust God for the rest.

Actually before I believed I had a soulmate in the person of my guy close friend, we have so many things in common and we easily understood what we meant for something, we even have some sort of mental telepathy, we seem communicated through our thoughts! and I thought we ended up together, but things turn out differently because he got a girlfriend, a situation that I hardly accepted but as the days progressed into weeks, I learned to accept it anyway and my concept of soulmate changed drastically. It was a great mistake to believe that he is my soulmate.

I think I do, or I think I did. But like everything else, life happens. And you get distracted with the everyday things. And you fail to see the bigger picture. Or you give up your quest for your soulmate.
Geez, this sounds like the ranting of a guy who settled.

I know I had a soul mate in my first wife but, she went home to Jesus early in our marriage. I use to still do miss her even now (every time I look at my 17 y/o daughter I see her face) and I'm remarried again. I don't know if I can say w/o a doubt WE'RE soul mates b/c we BOTH are very opposite on our view points from raising kids to husband/wife roles in marriage. I know we love each other and want to make things work between us though.

I do believe that you can have a soul mate, or even more than one because I believe that there are people that do have love for more than one person. I think there might be someone out there for everyone, but some people are too late, too early, or are just not interested anymore because they're too busy, or damaged.

Yes i do believe in soul mates. What ive known is that soul mates may share some or several similar talents, appearance, characteristics etc..She or he may be your brother, sister, friend, lover.In my case, i am unable to tell if I've already found my soulmate. The thing is quit e interesting.

Yes, I believe in the notion of soulmate. In some religions it is said that God made all of us in pairs. However, many times I feel we have more than one soulmate in this world. Some you meet and feel you have known them all your lifetime. But they don't get to be part of you in your life. The ultimate soulmate is the one with who we share the best friendship in the world which is the husband.

Hi chelsgrrl, i believe that one could have more than one soulmates in her/him life. I encountered first soulmate on MSN which was owned to one of my colleagues form another city where was far away from me for 2years ago~ Then we met and made a beauty impression with each other. Obviously, that was a great start for us deepening our harmonious relationship. In that time, i knew he had been already part of someone's life——his wife, as the same thing he knew. Through out the 2 years separate life, we both are realizing what is meaning for "soul mate". Can be said a kind of miss, the ralationshiop of solu mate is also a kind of proven. His point of view actually sitimulat my own on somethings, and i learn something from it. It is interesting that my soul mate is always changing his role in my life, and refreshing thought by dialog.

Yeah, I believe in soul mates. Since we tend to outlive the other person in my family, I believe one person may be right for most of your life and another may be right for later on. I, too, don't want to find out. I would prefer to be in an accident and that we die together.
