- Go to Soulmate? Not for Me
Jeff, so you feel your Destiny is to ...........
be a Slut, er, I mean, Stud, and not renege on your duty and obligation to the Woman of the World.............by depriving any of us of the opportunity to be with you, by committing to just one?! 
I admire you, and respect you for making those sacrifices, and condemning yourself to such a noble cause....
Luv,
Whammie

Don't know if I beleive in
soulmates. At my age - 45 - I've been in love a few times, and am deeply in love right now, and feel this is the best relationship I've ever had - but I wouldn't call him my soulmate. It implies being so much alike - and we're not. But he makes me laugh - and cry - and happy to wake up each day - so who knows. But I will never get married again - been there - done that and am not good at it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it applies here.

Jolly - I enjoyed your post. I believe my soulmate left me, but if I find another I will be rapt. Happy dating!

I had a similar
experience MiaElla. The one woman I thought I might marry broke up with me to marry another man.

I agree to a certain extent...
Some of the best relationships I have ever had were ones in which both of us knew we weren't going to get married, settle down, and have babies. I think that was actually a freeing experience as there were no expectations for the future and we were free to enjoy the moment.
As far as soul mates, I think each of us probably has many. My grandmother told me since I can remember that we were soul mates. And, I do think this is true. We always had an understanding without saying anything, it's like we have known eachother for far longer than her 71 years or my 24. Soulmate doesn't just have to be applied to romantic relationships.
A good friend of mine is a soulmate, also, I believe. He and I were very attracted to eachother...it was almost scary. But we were and are at very different places and our lives were never meant to meet up in that fashion. We tried...and we enjoyed the one night experience, but went back to being just us (however one would define that) and neither has said a word about it to anyone else. Until now, that is.

There probably are different scenarios...in which
you can find "the one"...doesn't mean it is just limited to one person though. I know I met "the one" for me, but he married someone else.
So maybe I'll have to borrow your theory for a while.

Jolly...
I don't know...but then again, it's your opinion. But deep down, I think EVERYONE is looking for that special someone. I think it's apart of the Law of Nature. On the other hand what you never have you won't miss, or look for. My opinion of course. I'm here waiting for my SOULMATE. Poor me. Great post.
