    I think circumstances cause a person to make their partner into that.....so in that sense yes.

    Not really. Finding your true soulmate is just usually determined by what classes you take in school, what company you work at or what zip code you live in.

    I believe you can be truly in love with somebody, but I don't believe there is just one specific soulmate.

    Of course. There has to be someone in this planet that's perfect for you, or nearly. However, the chances of you ever finding that person are very small.

    Sure, but it's like a good investment in that you don't know it without years of patience, loyalty, attention and loads and loads of cash.

    I feel like as a child, your brought up to believe that everyone get's their special someone.

    Whereas in reality, most people end up miserable, thinking about a past loved one that they've lost or settling for someone they aren't truly in love with.

    I used to. I don't anymore. At this point in time I feel like what's best is a person you can work with and a situation where you like her family and she likes yours. College kind of killed that notion for me that true love exists.

    But in a settling relationship, usually only one side is settling.

    I wonder in what percentage of relationships one person or both is settling?

    true love? to me that means some kind of nirvana. as far as it regards other people or things, no that is impossible in the sense i assume you mean it. i "fall" in love all the time, more than once a day sometimes. i am a pleasure seeking missle that more often than not has to use societal norms to keep from blowing up too much stuff. everyone and everything is my soulmate so long as they/it are beautiful and doomed.

    Nowadays no.

    People just tend to settle with what's best for them at the moment and deal with it.

    We don't have enough time to date others all around the world

    I think we can find more than one soulmate if we had the time n options

    Nope. If there really was a perfect match for everybody, you'd be better off trying to win the lottery than to think you can find her out of over 6 billion people. It's selfish to think you've found "the one" in your own high school or city. It's all about how well you mesh as a couple, but I'm confident there isn't 1 specific person for everyone.

    Not after getting divorced. I would say I'm a lot more defensive about the idea of finding a true love again. I think there are people out there that you can find compatibility with. That compatibility can change just as much as people change over time. True love to me is like finding someone you will continue to be truly compatible with for the rest of your life. That's tough and there's no guarantee you'll know you'll have found it until you've reached the end of your days and you're still happily with the same person you made your vows to. Who knows though.

    True Love = what you make it . . .
    it is not running into the perfect mate
    it is about making perfection with the mate you choose

    The idea of TRUE LOVe generally comes from this all american
    instagratification without working for it mentality
