I always believed there was a person out there for everyone but after my gf of 2 years who was the love of my life and I broke up I have sort of lost faith in relationships and am quite weary to get into another one in the near future. What do you guys think about soulmates?

Wheeler agony auntSoulmates, and love for that matter, come in many different forms.

The most important thing, in my opinion, that you can do in the meantime (before you find such a person) is do everything you can to be the best person possible.

You may already have met a soulmate, but the timing wasn't right. Or you may meet this person ten years from now when you are ready. Don't worry with trying to answer the questions that can't be answered.

Just read some of the posts on this website, and you will see that people find their soulmates at any and every age, location, or situation in life. And there are literally hundreds of posts on this website alone from people who thought they were hopelessly in love and lost the other person (for a million different reasons), only to find someone even better later.

Everything I know suggests that there is absolutely not just one soulmate for each person.

I promise, when you finally do meet the right person, you are not going to remember a single reason why you didn't want to give your whole heart to someone.

firstlovelastlove agony auntUntil I was 45 years old I had always thought the idea of a man to have a soul mate was weak and dumb. I no longer think or feel this way. I met my soul mate when I was 15 but I didn't know it at the time. At 45 we met again and it was simply the most calm yet overpowering feeling I have had. I hope this makes sense and I hope this helps.

"lost faith in relationships and am quite weary to get into another one in the near future." I think this is a good idea. Try to fill your time with playing guitar or video games or something that will keep your mind and hands occupied. I wish you luck!

I believe that you meet people in your life who you either connect with, or you don't. I don't believe in definitive 'soulmates'.

There's more than one person out there who you will connect with in your life. When you find out, and you make it work, you could argue that this is a 'soulmate'. You connected with your ex, and for some time she was in fact your soulmate. Now it's over, and she can no longer be that. So, you will need to find another woman, one who you connect with even more. And you will find her. Remember, you're still young, and there are a lot of things you've got to learn an discover yet. There is a woman out there - just be patient and receptive and you'll find her.

There is no soul mates. There are lots of people out there we could be with BUT there are few who are life partners and that is what we are all looking for.

janniepeg agony auntA soul mate is not a guarantee that your relationship will continue till death do us part. It's more like a mystery. When you look into her eyes you see a glimpse of eternity. Some women walk with you on a longer path, some just short ones but each time you learn something valuable that makes your soul evolve into the next level. I think if you get too attached with the term soul mate and when you break up you feel disappointed. If you get totally atheistic about it then you become stiff and unromantic.

Not to tell you your a little kid or anything, but your young don't worry about it. When you meet the girl you really will know. Everyone thinks their first boyfriend or girlfriend is their soul mate and thats almost never the case. Trust me I thought mine was, but now that were a lot older I couldn't even imagine being friends with him let alone his girlfriend. people change as they get older. Stay single its the best advise I can give you. Relationships are a waste of youth. But, really do whatever you want, everyone is different, thats just the way I see it most of the time. In my opinion there is no definition of a soul mate because everyone's is different.
