ORIGINAL: Archer Personally I think the One true Master/ soulmate stuff is crap. Now that will upset a few folks, but it's my view. Personally I think there are several really good matches for each of us out there people who we can form viable loving fulfiling relationships with, rather than a single "soulmate". A study I read years ago (I forget which one it was) made the claim that statistically for each of us there was an average of 50,000 people with whom we could find romantic bliss. Course for some of us, that 50,000 happens to all live on another continent.... LOL I do believe in the concept of "soulmates", even if I don't believe in souls. There are those special individuals you meet with whom you share a deep connection. I've experienced it in the past. I'm also self aware enough to know exactly why it happened, what it was about her that allowed that to happen. There wasn't anything mystical too it, it was a matter of the kind of person she was and how that meshed with who I was at the time. I also know it can happen again, provided I find someone with whom who I am now meshes with just as well. So to answer the OPs question... only you can know when you've met the right person. And sometimes, you might be wrong. You're human and we all make mistakes. Sometimes we get hung up on all the wrong things and miss a real gem. Sometimes we trust the wrong person and let ourselves be fooled. It happens to us all. All we can do is try to learn from each experience, try to get to know ourselves better, know better what is really important to us and keep following our hearts while still listening to our heads. As usual, someone else has said it better than I could.
