QOTD #00044: “Do you believe in soulmates?”

It's what all the romcoms and Disney pricessess taught us at a young age. But once you get older, you realize life is a bit more complicated than the fairytales make it out to be. Do you still believe in soulmates? Why or why not?

No, used to but then realized how many single people, failed marriages etc.
“Um this question is a tough one. I feel like I definitely used to believe in it, um however, as I grew older, you know, learning about how many like older people that have been single their whole life, or people that thought they found their soulmate but the marriage didn't go as well. I think I've come to be more realistic, and maybe in a pessimistic view, and I honestly don't think I believe in soulmates, I think. I think it's something that people kind of believe in just to keep themselves going. Um but I don't know. If you believe in them, I don't really... I don't really have, you know, much to say about it.”

Yes, everyone has a soulmate out there somewhere.
“I absolutely believe in soulmates. Umm I believe that we all come to this Earth with a purpose, especially to find umm that one person that suits us, that understands us, that um -- doesn't necessarily need to say anything, but that just know who you are and how to um support you, and how to love you the way you're supposed to be loved. So definitely believe in soulmates and everybody on this Earth has someone, somewhere waiting for them or just waiting to -- to meet them.”

Yes, may take a while, but happens in the end.
“I do believe that everyone will find a soulmate. It might take time, but I believe there is someone out there who is perfect for a person. Again, it might take a while before you find them or before they find you, but I do believe, ultimately, in the end, it does and will happen.”

Yes, but there can either be more than one/others as well.
“Do I believe in soulmates? I... As a hopeless romantic, I want to say yes, but I also do believe that there are people that are meant to be in your life and teach you things. So I think you can have a couple of soulmates, or just people that were really meant to be, you know, a love in your life.”

No, the world is too big.
“Soulmates, like one person was made for exactly the other person in this complete, entire, huge world? Uhh no. I think it has a lot to do with timing and probability, and um like the saying goes: 'there's a lot of fishes in the sea.'”

No, chooses not to believe and thinks there are multiple.
“No, I don't believe that. Actually, I choose not to believe that, because if I start to believe, it will mean that I've already lost mine. So there are multiple, multiple people.”

Everyone has a 'perfect fit' but it's hard to find

But everyone has someone who is just their perfect fit, who like just like is the better half of them, you know? Yeah.”

Yes, but is a soulmate necessarily forever?
“Great question. So I do believe that there is a soulmate, and umm there's someone I'm supposed to be connected with. My question would be for how long though. Like I have not been able to replicate the intense love I had the first time I fell in love with anyone ever since. So is that my soulmate? It could be. It's just a great question, and ultimately the answer is yes, um I do believe that there is a soulmate.”
