Okay, I am not in love, but have an idea of what it (love) is. Here's my question, if no one minds...

What if everyone has a soulmate out there meant only for them? Follow? Now what if that soulmate was already born, in the 1600s or something, or what if they won't be born for another thousand years?! This scares me, because it seems that it could be true, given that you believe in the whole soulmate thing. Should I love what I can get, or try for the ultimate love? I want the ultimate love, but what if they're not on this earth at this time?

I do not believe you should settle for less then what you want. You have to take the time to really see what you are getting into. Don't write someone off just because you do not think they are our soulmate. They might be but you haven't found that out because of haste. The ultimate love that you are talking about doesn't just happen. I believe that you can have that "bang" chemical thing happen but it always takes time for that true bond to develop.

have faith and use your head as well as your heart my friend.

I do believe in Soulmates, and if you were met to find them you will, even if that is later rather then sooner. Never settel! I woulden't dwell on it, everyones life path is different. To me, it's not what is at the end of that journey that is the goal, it's the journey itself. If it was met to be it will be. This probably makes no sense, sorry. But I too agree with Marilyn, love is a process, it takes time to get to know someone. You don't always have that spark at the beginning, sometimes the person you have been searching for has been right in front of you all along

I am struck by feelings of idiocrity. Thank you so much for your insight.

It never occured to me that, if you have a soulmate, you would find them, I mean, after all, they're your soulmate. What a moron I have been. I truely thank you.

You see, this special person is semi-semi-semi-involved with her boyfriend of 6 months and she loves him and hates him. It's hard for me to understand. She says these great things to me, but then says the other person's better. Not in those exact words, of course. It hurts, but sometimes, most of the time, she amazes me. Literally, she blows my mind. In her own words, "be a venomous snake" when you want someone. I try sometimes to be that venomous snake, but end up failing fin awe of her total beauty.

Please help me with some more fantastic insight.

(ignore my moronic signature...if I ever post it...)

I have to be blunt. This "relationship" with this girl is obviously all wrong. She is only playing games with you and the other. And when she gets bored she'll move on. Love is not about making someone hurt. Which is obviously her intentions by the reference of the venemous snake. My suggestion is to run far and fast!

I am sorry...but there is no room in love for venemous snakes. Love is not anger nor deceit. It is truth and compassion. Caring and sharing. Anything else is just lust and infatuation.

I to have met a girl like that while attending college. She was a marvel for sure, and i thought we could have a world of happiness together... How ever, if she were true, then she wouldn't share that happiness. Hence the creation of my "A Tear Named MEMORY" in dark Passions.

I agree with Danni and Marilyn. I also have to say it sounds like she is the venomous snake and she has quite a bit of growing up and settling down to do. Your soulmate will find you, Brandon, somehow.

I have a soulmate whome I have been with for 30 years. The first time I laid eyes on him he was nothing to be desired, in fact I told my best friend he was hers for the taking if she wanted him. She did in fact become involved him for a period of time, and found that he did not suit her so she broke off with him.  During the process of her breaking up with him, I began to see his beautiful qualites that lay hidden, and he in turn began to see beneath the surface of my being.  There was never a flash of lightening or an instant attraction, love just began to grow, and is still growing to this day. My advise don't get in a hurry and don't depend on outer beauty, or lack of it to guide you, become the person you are meant to be and love will find you.

Well, I have to tell you here that God put everyone on this earth for a purpose.  If you find someone you love then go for it. But your time is for here and now. I don't think He would of placed a "soulmate" before or after your time.  
Just remember I think a lot of what we look for would fall under infatuation and not love. We look for that "feeling," and that's exactly what that feeling is.  

I wish you luck but I would go on with life, and it will happen, most naturally. No worries!
