Do you believe in soulmates? Some people believe that they have met the love of their life or that they will meet their soulmate in the future. Others aren’t sure whether or not soulmates are real, but hope that one day they will find the right person and know they are the one for them. What happens when you meet your soulmate? How will you know when you meet the right person?
Are Soulmates Real?
The existence of soulmates is difficult to prove from a scientific point of view. It’s also difficult to establish consistent criteria to determine what constitutes a soulmate.
There are some questions to consider when one thinks about the concept of soulmates:
- How can you know that someone is your soulmate?
- What are your chances of meeting your soulmate from a statistical point of view?
- What if you and your soulmate aren’t alive at the same time?
- Wouldn’t most people walk by their soulmate without knowing, or simply never run into them?
- Will you meet your soulmate at the right time in your life? What if you’re not ready for a serious relationship?
The good news is that 73% of Americans believe that soulmates are real. It’s comforting to know that a majority of people believe there is another person who is the one for them.
Men are slightly more likely to believe in soulmates than women since 74% of them believe in the concept of soulmates. Among women, 71% believe in soulmates.
People become a little less likely to believe in soulmates as they age. Among those under the age of 45, 79% believe in soulmates. That percentage drops to 69% among people over the age of 45. It’s possible that people become less likely to believe in soulmates as they meet more people, or stop believing that they will meet their soulmates as time passes.
What Is a Soulmate?
If you ask people what a soulmate is, you are going to get different answers. If you were to ask what happens when you meet your soulmate, you would get different answers as well.
Asking someone what they think about soulmates can give you an interesting insight into their worldview and how they feel about love and relationships.
Some people believe that a soulmate is someone you meet and fall in love with instantly. Meeting your soulmate can result in a passionate and intimate relationship that is unlike any other relationship. A lot of people see a soulmate as a perfect match.
Some believe that a soulmate is someone you can build a successful relationship with and even a marriage that lasts a lifetime. You will instantly understand each other and have a special connection, or it might take you a while to realize that someone is your soulmate.
Some people believe that compatibility, similarities, or even chemistry are the keys to finding a soulmate. Others see a soulmate as the right fit for them, even though you might have some differences. Everyone agrees that a soulmate is a partner who is loving, supportive, and accepting.
For some people, meeting one’s soulmate is akin to forming a unique bond. They see their relationship as themselves and their soulmate against the world.
A lot of people believe that there is a link between the idea of destiny or fate and the concept of a soulmate. It might be your destiny to meet different people in your life, including your soulmate.
There is an interesting theory that claims that your soulmate is a person you keep meeting in your different lives. You will instantly know that there is a special connection between you and this person because you will unconsciously remember them
Some people know that someone is their soulmate because there seems to be a special connection. For instance, they will think about their soulmate and that person will call them, they will be able to finish each other’s sentences, or have the same thought at the same moment.
Love at First Sight
There is a common belief that you will know right away when you meet your soulmate. This experience sounds a lot like love at first sight.
Seeing someone could be enough to know that they are the right one for you, or you could simply feel intrigued or fascinated and want to know more about this person. Love at first sight is something that 60% of people have experienced!
However, it seems that experiencing love at first sight doesn’t always mean that you have met your soulmate. For starters, we are more likely to experience love at first sight when meeting attractive people.
Love at first sight isn’t always something that both parties feel. This fact could be proof that love at first sight isn’t quite the same thing as meeting your soulmate. It seems that experiencing love at first sight is common among people who have found their soulmate, but not every case of love at first sight involves soulmates.
It’s possible that people who are in happy relationships tend to look back on meeting their significant other and convince themselves that they experienced love at first sight. Their current feelings for their significant other could change how they remember things.
Soulmates and Instant Connections
People who have found their soulmates have different ways of describing that experience. A lot of them talk about experiencing an instant connection and developing a gut feeling that they had met an amazing person.
Here are some of the themes that are recurrent in the stories of people who have met their soulmate:
- They talk about how it made sense to get together and how natural the relationship felt.
- They often feel an instant connection with the person.
- Some talk about love at first sight.
- Others say that they felt chemistry or just clicked with the other person once they started talking.
- Some describe an amazing friendship that turned into something romantic with time.
- These people talk about finding themselves wanting to spend as much time as possible with their soulmates.
- They felt relaxed and comfortable around each other right away.
- They mention a lot of smiling, eye contact, and positive body language.
- People who have found their soulmate often say that their partner’s flaws didn’t bother them at all.
- They usually feel supported in the relationship right away.
- They immediately valued the relationship above everything else and would do anything for their significant other.
- During fights, the couples were able to communicate in a healthy manner and find solutions.
- Some people talk about finding a balance in the relationship. They say that their soulmate was different from them but completed them.
- Some say they had a gut feeling that they had found the perfect match for them.
- Running into problems only made the relationship stronger.
- The couples’ values and goals aligned almost right away.
- People who have met their soulmates say they felt secure in the relationship and felt like they could be themselves.
- Some say they felt that they had known their soulmate for a long time, even though they had just met.
Soulmates and Compatibility
If you have tried online dating, you know that some sites use a system that focuses on compatibility. You have to fill out forms or surveys about the things you like, and the site will match with people who share the same values, hobbies, and interests.
Meeting someone with the same hobbies or sense of humor can be a lot of fun, but people who have found their soulmate often say that compatibility wasn’t very important.
When you meet your soulmate, you will probably find that you are compatible on a deeper level. It’s possible to make a long-term relationship work even if you are two very different people as long as you share some core values and personality traits.
It will be easier to make things work if you have similar communication styles, feel the same way about important topics like career or family, and have goals that align.
Your hobbies, interests, likes, and dislikes don’t have to be similar for the relationship to work. Meeting someone who is different from you can help you grow, and a lot of people say that they felt like their soulmate completed them instead of resembling them.
Don’t worry if you meet who feels right for you even though you don’t seem to have a lot in common. Be compatible matters for key things like showing respect to each other, being a supportive partner, and working on common goals.
However, you might find that your soulmate is very different from you in other areas. Those differences are a good thing since they will help you discover new things and will help you grow as a person.
Getting to Know Someone
If you talk to the married couples you know, you will find out that they are still learning new things about each other, even after years of living together. A lot of people who have found their soulmate talk about an instant connection and say that they felt like they had always known the other person.
However, it can take years before you truly get to know someone. It’s possible that you can meet someone, develop a friendship or relationship, and realize that the other person is meant to be your soulmate after a few years.
As you go through different experiences and challenges together, you will get to know the other person better. You will get to see how they handle challenges like financial hardships, loss, and grief, or even being sick.
Couples typically go through a honeymoon period when they first get together. It’s easy to believe that someone is the perfect match for you before you encounter any challenges or tests.
It’s also important to ask questions and put in some time and effort into getting to know someone. You might feel that a person is your soulmate and that you can build an ideal relationship with them, but you should still work on getting to know them to make sure they are your soulmate.

Whether you believe in soulmates or not, the law of attraction can help you get the right people to come into your life.

Love and Synchrony
Synchrony is the idea that we can form stronger social or emotional bonds with people by mimicking their actions. It’s very subtle, and we usually do it without even realizing it.
You can achieve synchrony with someone by mirroring their body language or walking at the same pace. It’s not something you do on purpose. It’s something that happens naturally.
Synchrony makes you feel closer to the other person. It increases your empathy and improves your ability to cooperate with that person. Studies have shown that synchrony helps create stronger connections between people.
Synchrony is one of the things that can happen when you meet your soulmate. It can be very subtle with couples, and researchers have found that some couples will mirror their breathing or that synchrony can happen at the biological level, with couples having similar levels of cortisol.
If there is synchrony with someone you just met, it’s probably a sign that you might be in the presence of your soulmate!
