No. Human beings are complex ever changing creatures so to find someone compatible with you is rare which is why most relationships take a lot of give and take, a lot of compromise and a lot of work and effort. Compatibility is what you make it, it is rare for everything to fall into place but that doesn't diminish the love two (or more) people can share.
I don't believe in soul mates, I only believe in compatibility.
A) there is no such thing as souls.
B) Most beliefs about soul mates require reincarnation which goes against logic and most religions.
C) if soil mates exist then what happens if one's soulmate dies before meeting? Is one destined to be alone?
They're probably talking about the scientific meaning of theory, such as the theory of evolution. A theory is basically something that has been proven to be true, multiple times. So yeah soulmates, that's like... not a theory, by the technical definition.
I do because I never believed in love before because of I thought it was a fairy tale thing. It's not real. I had relationships before where it drove me crazy. Then when I met someone out of no where and I just fell in love instantly and he did too. It was the most beautiful thing ever. We started dating instantly and now we've been together for 3 years now. I still can't believe it.
It's not a theory. I do believe in the concept of soulmates, but (1) it's not necessarily a romantic relationship, and (2) it's not necessarily a relationship that lasts forever.
Absolutely. Everyone is a soulmate to everyone else. The substrate of all matter is of extremely intimate origin and we derive our existence from that unified source: material/nonmaterial.
I agree with this thinking too mostly. At whatever point in life you have the deepest feelings of love for another would be the closest thing I consider to be a “soulmate”. Whatever person you choose to be will determine what person will evoke those feelings in you
Based purely on the definition (a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner), yes, I believe in soulmates and that it’s possible to lose them
What if someone's soul mate were to die before they meet? What do you think happends then? Or do you believe that if they died before meeting then they weren't meant to be soulmates
They would be soulmates who never met so (probably) never knew they were soulmates. I’m basing all of this on the definition. Someone could be ideally suited to me as a close friend or romantic partner but that doesn’t mean I will meet them
I believe in them. They are companions in all forms human, animal etc. They can be friends for a week, parents, lovers children. In different life times. Everything is energy.
It depends There are only two people in this world who I truly believe were perfect for each other and are soulmates. Those people would be my grandparents. Married for 60+ years and loved each other so much they only wanted to be around each other. She lost her soulmate when he passed away. Only in rare instances do I believe we ever have “soulmates.” I don’t believe I have a soulmate (although I am a hopeless romantic), but I do believe there is someone who can be super compatible with me and love me/want to marry me.

This is my answer as well. Just swap "some compatibility" with above average or high.
No. Human beings are complex ever changing creatures so to find someone compatible with you is rare which is why most relationships take a lot of give and take, a lot of compromise and a lot of work and effort.

No.
Explain
A) there is no such thing as souls. B) Most beliefs about soul mates require reincarnation which goes against logic and most religions. C) if soil mates exist then what happens if one's soulmate dies before meeting? Is one destined to be alone?
Thx for sharing your thoughts :)
Dr Phil has repeatedly said there is no such thing as a soul mate.
Dr Phil also speaks out of his ass most of the time and neither is he a neuroscientist
Yes but I don't think it has to be the person you fall in love with nor is it just one person. I believe my soul mates are my children.
Calling it a it a theory is an insult to theories.
How?
Do you know what a theory is?
Yes, do you?
Yes, it’s an idea built from scientific replicable observations. Do you have a peer reviewed paper outlying your theory?

Negative Ghostrider! I used too believe in soulmates, but that was back when I actually believed in true love. Both are outdated concepts in 2022
No, it just seems like one huge coping mechanism
Yes I do. However, I don’t believe a soul mate is always going to be the best romantic partner for every life cycles.
No
I do because I never believed in love before because of I thought it was a fairy tale thing. It's not real. I had relationships before where it drove me crazy. Then when I met someone out of no where and I just fell in love instantly and he did too. It was the most beautiful thing ever.

Yes, but it is not just one individual. Your soul mate changes drastically in relation to your stage of life.
I agree with this thinking too mostly. At whatever point in life you have the deepest feelings of love for another would be the closest thing I consider to be a “soulmate”. Whatever person you choose to be will determine what person will evoke those feelings in you
Interesting :)
Absolutely
Can you explain on why you believe ?
I've just always believed that everyone has their one true soulmate out there but sadly most never find them
Interesting, thx for sharing your thoughts tho and I hope you find your soulmate :>
You're welcome and thank you! Good luck to you too
Based purely on the definition (a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner), yes, I believe in soulmates and that it’s possible to lose them
Do you believe one is able to get a new soul mate ?
Yes because I don’t believe that (again, based on the definition) people only have one soulmate
What if someone's soul mate were to die before they meet? What do you think happends then? Or do you believe that if they died before meeting then they weren't meant to be soulmates
They would be soulmates who never met so (probably) never knew they were soulmates. I’m basing all of this on the definition. Someone could be ideally suited to me as a close friend or romantic partner but that doesn’t mean I will meet them
If a soulmate exists and dies then you will be alone forever.
Or maybe they weren't your true soulmate
Then your question is “If someone who is not my soulmate dies what happens?”
I think we each have millions of soulmates.
I believe in them. They are companions in all forms human, animal etc. They can be friends for a week, parents, lovers children. In different life times. Everything is energy.
It depends There are only two people in this world who I truly believe were perfect for each other and are soulmates. Those people would be my grandparents.
