How do you know if a person is made for you and you made for him/her?

If you believe in soulmates, as I do, then the chances of finding that specific person is very, VERY SLIM.

Why?  You might ask.  Well here's a little info to work your mind:

FACT: The Earth's population reached 6.5 billion on Saturday, February 25, 2006.

So, if you meet all 6.5 billion people at the same time; the chances of finding the right one decreases to 1.5384615384615384615384615384615e-10 % (!!!)

What am I trying to get at here?  Nothing really; just that I'm not going to hurry finding that person anytime soon.  So, how do we know that the person we meet could be the one true love to spend the rest of your life for the rest of eternity? 

Nobody knows.

There is clearly no empirical, scientific, demonstrable solution to such a problem. 

What we do have is faith.  Faith that someone out there is made for us and that all of us will eventually find that person because we were made for our respective soulmates.

Do tell me what you think.

    I think that there isn't just one 'soulmate' per person, but many.

    So in my opinion, your odds just got better!!

    If you want to know that persone made for you or you made for that persone, its simple. How far you with that persone one day you will meet each other, lets says you are singaporient, then the fact says your couple is scotish. Is it possible? When the fact says that person for you, you will meet that person. Its about time. 

    Just be like me, I have a scereet admire since 10 years ago, until now I still admire with her but i dont tell her that i love her. In 2002 i know she have a couple, but i stil belive that she is mine, what heppen? after 3 month she brake-up until now she still solo. And until now i dident tel her that i in love with her. But last 3 weeks, I know some one want couple with her, you know what happen? She call me for the 1st time and ask me to do decision for her life. for your information I meet her lass then 2 time in a year.

    Maybe she know that my life for her, so she let me do desicion, indirectly she want to know wether i love her or not. Then i say dont couple with that guy. Then she smile at me. But i have a problem to start serious relationship with her. "Both ego" :)

    i have been intrigue by this for a long time, wondering if it exists. i did research & read up on it too. i read somewhere saying that soulmate may not necessary be your partner, it can be someone related to you or a buddy, coz that person or persons can be in your life for a long long time.

    when my daughter was born, i instantly have the idea that she's my soulmate. with her, i can go thru whatever life throws my way... i donno how i know, i just know! we are very close & protective of each other.

    now with my current bf, i know he too will be in my life for a long long time (no idea how i know) but because of my past unpleasant experience with men, i am more skeptical, ie i think more with my head than with my heart. there are many times that i just follow my heart tho my head tells me to be careful. what more, he & my daughter just clicked the instant they met, he fits right in & we are like a family just like that.

    so i guess, when it happens, you will instinctively know & time will confirm what you know. also, you don't have to go search high & low for it, it will come eventually when the time is right.

    I agree with melodii's statement that, "you don't have to go search high & low for it, it will come eventually when the time is right."

    I agree with you on the slim part. However, I could spend my entire life waiting and hoping, or I could try to find someone, as I did, that I felt drawn to on a intellectual as well as the more physical plane.

    We almost always have something to talk about, and our solutions to problems often have the same outcome, even if the methods were different (I.e. We have similiar standards, values).

    Alright, admittedly, I seem a dog chasing my tail. Anyway, I like the idea of a soulmate, but the odds...

    I remember when first I met my husband, I was so drawn to him. And it wasn't love/lust at first sight, either. No, it was something else altogether. Some aura about him. I know. I am a weirdo. But I have never felt for anyone else as I feel for him--and really cannot imagine doing so.

    He has told me the same thing. He is a brutally honest person, so I haven't reason to disbelieve him. So, for as frustrating as things can be sometimes, I still wouldn't change who I am with (at least not now, anyway).

    i'm not sure i understand precisely what true love waits for in your mind, PIB.

    however, science and logic are useless WRT relationships and love.  emotions aren't logical.  emotions transcend logic and reason.  logic and reason explain how we decided to do something; emotion explains why.

    Trying to understand how love and life mix appears to be ultimately pointless to me as there seems to be no way of predicting when and where love will strike.

    I know many people believe in the adage that 'love will find a way' but applying that to real life and statistics just makes no sense, the coincidences required are enormous.
  • paidinblood said on Nov 20, 2006....
    Woah, I wasn't expecting this much attention. :D

    melodii & FLW: exactly!  However, most people I know are doing the very thing that we shouldn't be doing.

    Jade: I remember something saying something like the real relationships that do last are the ones that do not involve love at first sight, but one that slowly, yet steadily grows.

    ed: You have a very good point.

    Alyss: guilty as charged. :P (with the statistics)

    What I do mean is that I'm not on a hurry to find true love, I'll know it when I do; I just want my voice heard by those who are on a hurry and may ultimately be wasting their time. :D

    Much respect,

    Interesting posts here pib.
    With this one it reminded me of something I heard rather recently.
    Supposedly, it has been 'proven' in some way or another that everyone on this planet knows everyone by no greater than a removal of 6.
    Apologies if I didnt express that right.
    You ever hear of that game, whats it called... 6 steps to Kevin Bacon? or something like that.
    Everyone on earth, is able to know everyone else on earth, by no more than a 6 person removal.
    Lets see if I can explain it, sorry, I am horrid at remembering the actual 'labels/names' for things.
    Say I know Bob. Bob then knows Billy. Billy knows Joe, Joe knows Katie. Katie knows Jackie and Jackie knows you. So, I know you by no more than 6 removal.
    Make sense? eh dunno.

    Anyways, I heard that and it simply blows my mind. So, presuming that is true, what you list above, with your soulmate being out there somewhere... that really increases your odds of finding that person wouldnt you say?
  • paidinblood said on Dec 28, 2006....
    I think what you mean by that is 6 degrees. :D

    Yeah, that and sooner or later you're going to meet that person anyway.  Don't know why, it just happens.
  • queenparanoia said on Dec 29, 2006....
    yeah i still believe in soulmate. i'm just frustrated cuz i havent found him yet.
