Are Soulmates Real?

Scientifically speaking – no. Though science has figured out that certain animal species mate for life because of a distinct smell that bonds them together, or to ensure survival while raising offspring together, the same cannot be said for humans. After all, several cultures practice polygamy and there are multiple historical documentation of the same. Therefore, the more important question must be, do you believe in the concept of soulmates? Whether two people can be soulmates and treat each other with mutual reverence, completely depends on the personal beliefs of the people involved. Further, deep human connections are real. Hence, how one defines the concept of soulmate, can play a large part in their relationships.

Let us see what are some qualities that are generally believed to be associated with soulmates.

What Makes A Person Your Soulmate?

There is no definitive answer to this question as there are different kinds of relationships. For example, you might consider someone your soulmate if they fulfill all your needs and make you happy when no one else can. You might also consider a person from your past to be your soulmate if they came into your life at a time when you needed them the most, even though they may not fulfill all the qualifications that you were previously looking for in a companion.

The point is, there are different kinds of relationships and different ways in which people can be your soulmate. Whether someone is your soulmate depends on how they make you feel. If they bring happiness, peace, a sense of fulfillment, and security, they can be the one!

If you are actively looking for your soulmate, the next section lists some pointers you can follow. Remember, introspection is as important as evaluating your prospective partner.

4 Steps To Find A Soulmate

1. Prioritize What Is Truly Important

You may find that some qualities in your partner naturally align with the qualities you need. For example, they have good communication skills and give thoughtful responses. If they also have a positive attitude and are fun to be around, they are more likely to make good conversation when you need it most.

Pro Tip

Finding your soulmate often involves self-discovery. Focus on personal growth and be authentic in your pursuits, and it will surely lead to genuine connections around you.

If you think your partner might be your ideal match, focus on getting to know them better by learning more about who they are and how they behave in various situations.

2. Get Out There And Meet People

If your friends tell you that you are putting too much pressure on yourself to find ‘the one,’ they may be right. It is impossible to know if someone is your soulmate until you have spent enough time with them. So, don’t expect to land on a decision in the first five minutes of knowing them or even after the first date.

An excellent way to make sure is to meet new people through activities that you enjoy. For example, join a hiking group or join a local book club. Not only will you meet new people, but you will also get to know them better by learning about the things that they enjoy.

Ashley Broadwater, a blogger, shared her experience in a blog post about how to find your soulmate. She writes, “Not every person you meet is the person you’re meant to be with. When you accept that and don’t stick with people whom your gut tells you aren’t right, you can actually find ‘the one’ (i).”

3. Focus On What You Have In Common

When it comes to potential soulmates, you should keep an open mind even if you are not interested in them at first. If they continue to display the same positive qualities as before and improve on the ones that you feel need work, there is a chance that they could be your suitable companion.

Consider how you would want to spend your life with someone and what you enjoy doing together. Make it a point to discuss your thoughts and feelings with your companion, as it will help you both stay on the same page.

Quick Tip

Expand your social network by trying new activities, attending workshops and events, or joining clubs related to your interests. It creates or increases your chances to connect with individuals who share similar values and goals.

4. Live In The Moment

If you are too caught up on what you think your soulmate should be, it is easy to become disillusioned when you realize that no one person can meet all your expectations. Your friends and family might tell you that having high standards is good because it means the person who does end up being your ideal match will be perfect for you, but this isn’t always the case.

You should consider changing your expectations by focusing less on the future and enjoying each date for what it is. Even if the person you are currently dating does not fit your criteria for a soulmate, there is still a chance that they could be the right person for you.

If you have someone you feel might make a good partner, head to the next section for some common signs to know if you have found your soulmate.

Signs You Have Already Found Your Soulmate

• They Get You

You may feel that the person you are dating right now understands you in different moods or situations. It feels amazing when someone can read your vibes and knows whether you are on cloud nine or navigating a storm. The way they tune into your emotions creates a connection that goes beyond words.

• They Are All Positive

You will know if you have found your soulmate by taking note of the good qualities they have and the negative ones that you can help them improve. If your companion possesses all the positive traits, it might be a sign for you to start thinking about getting serious with each other.

• You Don’t Desire For More

You should also try thinking about how you would feel if the person you were dating was no longer a part of your life. It can help determine whether they are a good fit for you. If you sense that your life would lack fulfillment without them, it could be an indication that they might be your soulmate.

• Compromise Comes Naturally

While it may not be easy to find out whether someone is your soulmate, if you are willing to compromise, work together with your companion, and keep an open mind, there is a good chance that you may hit it off. Take things one step at a time and enjoy each moment for what it has to offer instead of focusing on who your soulmate might turn out to be.
