No. But I've known some incredible women and I'm thankful that I've gotten to be a part of their lives.

The person I've clicked with on the deepest level wasn't really the type of a woman that I usually go for, but I guess she's the closest to a "soul mate" I've ever met. Sometimes the chemistry is just there and you can't choose that person beforehand.

This guy:

Call it what you want and say it doesn't exist.

I don't care.

This thread touched me because The Cosby Show is one of my all-time favorite programs, and I wished for a love like the parents on that show. Always teasing each other and making each other laugh, doing everything they can every day for the happiness of the other, completely at ease and at home with each other, just love love love and perfection amidst all the imperfection of each other as humans and the shit you have to slog through together and misunderstandings that you always come out of on the other side together and stronger and HAPPY, not just "ok I survived that"...

Yup. I've met my "soulmate."

U make me sick ... just kidding.. I would be soo lucky 2 have what u and ur hubby share.. u guys are truly blessed

You can hate us a little less when I tell you that I'm physically disabled and we both lost our jobs recently, with no chance of unemployment checks due to our respective employment conditions. (We are, however, taking every step we can to rectify our situation so we have hope that some things will change for the better soon.) We love our four kids and dog abundantly, but that doesn't feed them. We're dealing with some hard times, and without the kindness of family members, friends, and Orgers (yes, really!) I don't even know how we'd be surviving right now.

And that's how I really, really know that I picked the right partner. Because we're in the thick of the "in sickness," "for poorer," and "for worse" right now, and although we're human and take things out on each other as all family members can be guilty of doing...

in the middle and surrounding all of that, I have this thing that burns and feeds me with happiness and spiritual understanding and motivation. Connection and touch beyond desire and ego and anything. Something that really, really feels like it's somehow possible for there to be a thing like "twin souls" no matter what is smart or can be proven. Home like a shell on my back and I really am safe no matter what.

Being safe. Some people don't know how special that can be. I envy THEM.

You know it better than I do.

I haven't met what some people would call "the one" but i do believe I have several soulmates. I have met a few of them through the org, and I met one 28 years ago on the first day of high school.

It has been a source of contention when their signifcant others hear them call me that, but I don't think I did anything in particular to make them feel that way about me.it is what it is. It is simply a wonderful feeling to not have to explain yourself to another person.

So true!

If there are soulmates, it doesn't have to be limited to one person or a significant other. I was just reading about karmic people you meet and twin souls and all. I don't know if I believe in soulmates or not, but I do believe in life lessons and certain people who come into yours will teach you that, though I hate saying everything happens for a reason, cause it doesn't justify the awful things people have gone through.

I don't think that the term "soulmate" really implies the belief in God or anything like that, it's simply a term to describe someone who you believe to be your "other half"...someone who you can't bear to be without, who - through thick and thin, through good times and through bad, through sickness and in health - is there to hold each other's hand. Someone whose warmth tempers the coldest night and whose breath cools the hottest day. Someone who finishes your sentences, who you can have an entire conversation with yet not utter a single word. Someone who you feel you've known for a hundred years if but only an hour. Someone who transcends lust. Who you want to devour even with the wrinkles and stretch marks and zits that come with age.

Maybe it sounds corny, but anyway that's my feeling on the matter.

Nah. That soulmate shit is 4 suckers and doesn't exist. It's ridiculous.

I've met my soulmate, however, it didn't work out between us, but we are still close friends.

I've met so many soulmates, that I almost feel like I'm an expert on 'em.
And I hope to keep meeting many more.
I can't get enough of 'em.

I once had a best friend. We fell out big time. When we were stuying the samy study, working at the same place and have a lot of shared friends, I was convinced we would be best friends for life.

Somewhere she changed big time. She lied, cheated and made a career with her elbows at the cost of many other people. I'm very glad I never have to see her again.

However, when we were friends I really think we were soulmates. And have never had the same connection with any other friend. Somehow I still 'know' her better than anybody. That's the reason we were so close and the reason I don't want to see her again.

I never believed in a 'soulmate' for a lover. However, I am a very much in love at them moment and actually since I met him I am convinced that he is my soulmate and it does exist.

We emailed before we met, and when we did meet, I just knew. I looked in his eyes a couple of hours later and asked him: "this is it, isn't it?". And he agreed. He said: "Yes, this is it".

And that's just how it feels. I just know it.

At least once or twice a day we similtanously email. At one point that started to freak me out. Now, I expect it almost. When I have send an email to him, I expect to have received one from him in the meantime.

Also, we both sort of 'know' when the other is around the corner.

For example, when I went in a shop and he waited for me outside at the street. When I'm I walk to him his back is turned to me. He will put his iphone down, turn around so he faces me without knowing that I was aproaching him. He'll say 'hi' as if expecting me.

And, before him, when contemplating about any current romance, I always thought, Oh well, if it doesn't work out, we can always split up.

However now, I know that's not an option. Not because of some dependancy or fear. It's just sort of matter of factly not an option. We just have to work out how we will sort out sitations together, because we will not be without eachother anymore.

Actually, it's similar as with the best friend I described above. Eventhough I haven't seen her in years, I know we will somehow never be separated.

Now, tt's the same with him. We could split up, however we can never be separated. I can't really explain it. Because it isn't an emotional thing. It's a matter of fact thing.

Yes.

No,

but I've met my twin soul mate, she was like another side of me... Ive never connected so well with a person and even though we had our differences, life would always draw us back together. I was fortunate back then

My mate as in love... not yet.. haven't met anything close to that

Doesn't sound corny at all.

I sure did, and I married her 24 years ago!

I read your tagline. The thing is, there is nowhere he could play that would bring 12,000 L4OA's or RodeoSchro's together to buy tickets to listen to stuff most people have never heard.

So if he's going to play 12,000 seat arenas, those are going to be filled mainly with people that only know his hits. He's just giving the ticket buyers what they want.

If you want to hear the newer stuff or deep cuts, your only chance is a club show. He's done plenty of those over the last few years; in fact, I can't think of any other performer in his class that have done ANY club shows.

Granted, getting in club shows is hard and expensive, but at least there IS that opportunity.

That's something that fans of Madonna or Lady Gaga or Coldplay don't have, isn't it?

Very much so.

We didn't find each other until around thirty years of age, so we both know exactly how rare and special it is. We treat it with more care than we probably did our respective earlier relationships in younger days.
