How Do You Know If And When You've Met The One? by Mindependent(f): 12:34am On Sep 28, 2014
I mean the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with. I know it's possible to let yourself believe someone is meant to be your soul mate and bla bla but how are you ever 100% sure?! The rate of divorce today is way too much and I believe the sole reason is people just run into marriage deluding themselves to thinking they are meant to be with someone when in reality this person might be the complete opposite of their true soulmate. I'm currently in a serious relationship and love this person truly but I just don't know if he is my soulmate, is there a 'litmus test' to know or do I just accept his proposal if and when he does? Cheers.

You can't be 100% sure someone is ur 'soulmate' and I doubt there's a 'litmus test' for identifying one.

Honestly, I don't believe there's anything like a soulmate. Having to spend the rest of ur life with someone is a matter of choice made from good questions: "Do i see myself living well with him/her? For the rest of my life? Does he/she truly loves and adorns me?. Am I willing to sacrifice ANYthing to make sure our relationship works? Am i willing to look pass his/her personality(the bad ones)? Do I foresee a peaceful environment with him/her?

You know, people use the term soulmate as an excuse for getting married to.someone based on their appearance or wealth..and they go like "I've found my soulmate!" But what happens when these factors get affected? Quarrels then divorce!

If you want a good relationship, u should know "determination, patience, acceptance, forgiveness, love and many other factors" is responsible for it..

If he happens to propose to you today, would u say yes or no? Without a second thought in ur heart..Even after reading this.

N.B: Two people don't need to be 'soulmates' to have a fulfilling relationship!

u can only know your soulmate by the time you around 70 and still loving each other.
for now u can only hope he is what you wish for

i am very sorry to say this, I do not mean to be insulting but your question about if you should just accept his proposal sounds foolish.
it makes u sound confused

u are d one wearing d shoe so u know where its paining u. u don't just expect us tell u to test him or accept his proposal when we know nothing of your relationship

if you truly love him like u said, you won't ask that question unless u are doubting him or he's done something to u

God knows the ending from the beginning.

Take the case to God,if it's God's will,he would reveal it to you.

He is not a liar or deceiver, his name is God of revelations.

Six month for a start,if you both can withstand each other's flaws and still stand strong then you might be in for a blissful relationship ahead.

It requires a lot though to stand this test of time. How much can you take in of your partner's shortcoming? Time will tell like i said earlier. Good luck.

This remains one of life's trickiest questions. Human beings are fickle. I thought I'd met my soulmate twice before but they changed their minds eventually. At some point I began to doubt my emotional eligibility. But I am a happy individual, I emerged from that mood and later realized that the problem wasn't my person. It was just life happening. Right now I am cautious 'cos people are not as they seem.

How\why did they change their mind? How are you sure you weren't the cause?

I discussed with them after the break up and they responded stubbornly. I evaluated my actions after each breakup because I am someone who hates to repeat a mistake. I am certain beyond any doubt that they left for selfish reasons. One of them admitted that much later.

Young people do not always appreciate good partners early enough and then they begin to build fantasies around other individuals who APPEAR to be angels.

I have learned that a man is easily burned when he is too good to be true. Cos deep down, women don't want a knight. They like tension and anxiety.

You never know... u just have to wing it... remember there are two hearts in this matter
.. Two thoughts...
Two of everything that u can imagine...
But the truth is if a guy really loves u, he'd respect u, then he'll give u more than enough reason to stay even when he doesn't know he's doing that...

Things just happen... never forced... never feigned... that doesn't mean there wouldn't be times when u feel like strangling him... but even in ur anger or his anger, u can still feel the love...

never forget that the best kind of lovers are those who are also friends...

All in all... u pray... and ask God to direct ur steps and never doubt ur guts..

Try getting on his nerves...... His reactions will go a long way in determining how you guys will relate in the future...... Like Marilyn Monroe's quote "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"
