Yes, but to me soul mate is not synonymous with lover.

No, since I don't believe in fate. Unforeseen occurrance befalls us all after all.

I also believe that you can genuinely fall in love with more than one person. If your personality lends to it.

Personally, I feel that while I can "love" more than one person, I will only ever truly be "in love" with one person.

No.

But I'm a fairly down to earth type of guy. Friends and happy marriages, sure. Soul mates? HA! Keep dreaming kid.

Other; "How the heck should i know?"

Not to mention that depending on the state of mind of people at the moment, the vote will, most certainly, change.

But, what ever, let's hope there is a special person looking for you as you look for him/her, that sound romantic guess

No.
It's logically, mathematically and biologically faulty.
Guys dig chicks that are shaped nicely and chicks
dig guys who other chicks dig, the capable, charismatic,
successful alpha males. Disregarding queers etc.
That's how sexuality works. Making love supernatural
is just far out.

I'm very open minded about such things because I don't believe in the materialist idea that consciousness and mind is reducible to the brain. Since I believe in a 'soul' it's not too much of a stretch to think there might be a soul mate.

I chose maybe, because I think there's a possibility that soul mates exist, but it's something I don't have direct evidence for.

I'd like to believe in them, yes, but even if they do exist, I'm sure most people never find them.
To all believers and nonbelievers, there's no real way to know if they truly exist or not... there's no definite proof for or against the idea. It'd be neat if it were true, but it's another one of those things that I find hard to feel true belief in.

________________

I don't really believe in soulmates in the sense of being destined to be together. If they exist i'd rather think they'd be kindred spirits.

If I only had teachers like that... I completely agree with this. People are selfish, rarely are they ready to sacrifice themselves for another person especially if the person's not blood related to them. They expect to be loved and cherished unconditionally but don't give themselves in return. They don't even try to truly understand the other person and empathise, they easily give their body but not their soul because they fear of someone completely understanding them. The thought of someone knowing their core is what they're afraid, feeling of not being able to run away and vulnerability emerge. That is why most of them will never find their soul mate because human instinct works in a way that says you should put yourself first, you need to survive the rest should take care of themselves. Also I agree with ones that said that a soul mate doesn't have to be a lover. Friendship is fascinating to me because it's not about mating, just enjoying another person's company without those ulterior motives.
To me a soul mate is a person who can see through you with one look and a few spoken words. You can spend your whole life with someone and they can try to understand you but they will never be able to.
Existence of your soul mate depends only on you.

Yes, I believe in having multiple soulmates.

I do indeed believe in the concept of soul mates. I want to find a man right for me, and help him achieve greatness for the rest of his life. There is nothing a woman needs more than a man to support. I, personally, have always been interested in the food industry. So I want a man that knows how to cook a good pizza, if you know what I mean.

If I could I would pikachu.

i can't say i believe or not and maybe neither. in friendships, relationships, etc.

i've experienced commonality and compatibility but i wouldn't be so sure it truly signifies being ''soul mates''.

i don't even know.

I want to believe in it. But, I don't really believe it
It would be awesome if such a thing does exist. But you see, people can fall in love with anybody that fits them. And at anytime, they might turn to love somebody else because that person fits them more. And somewhere in this world, people could somehow fall in love with a person who's been with them for quite a long time. So, no for soul mates. If soul mates do exist, nobody would be single. And this world's population would increase Just an opinion lol.

Well, actually is quite the other way around, mathematically speaking is almost 100% sure that there is at least one person who fits your needs both in mind and body and is looking for some one like you.

This is basically a given since humans are actually much more similar to each others that what they want to believe and also thanks to the fact that there are about a billion humans in the world

What's really low is the chance of meeting that person and even worst is that of actually noticing that he/she is the person for you, since "knowing" someone is not as easy at just meeting

But that's just from a Psychological, Biological and mathematical point of view.
