We’ve all heard the phrase “soul mates.” But what does it mean? And when will we meet our soul mate? When will I find my other half and live happily ever after?
We’ve all heard the phrase “Soul mates.” But what does it mean? And when will we meet our soul mate?
A person who is so right for us that no matter how many times we try to move on, we can’t seem to forget them or let go.
We’ve all been there. The person who was there at that pivotal moment in time when we were young — maybe even young enough to be their children — when we realized “this is it.” This is the one who’s going to change everything.
This is the person who’ll get us through anything. Who has our back when we want to throw up our hands and give up? This person makes us feel safe in a scary new place. They make us laugh, tell us to take risks, and help us see things differently. This is the person who knows exactly the right thing to say at the exact right moment.
In short, this is the person who completes us. We are meant to be with each other forever.
“Soul mates” isn’t scientific, but we don’t need science to validate the feeling. It’s real. It exists. And it is a beautiful, wonderful, magical thing.
But what does it mean? How can we find someone who will complete us? What do signs say about finding love in this world?
Let’s look at some signs.
So, when we first hear about the concept of soul mates, we think of people outside our normal society. Maybe you think of the characters in fairytales or legends, where two lovers are destined to spend eternity together. Or you think of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the doomed star-crossed lovers whose passion burns on into the afterlife.
Or you think of something else entirely. Maybe you think of your parents. Perhaps you think of your grandparents. Maybe you think of a friend, a family member, a teacher, or maybe even yourself.
The point is everyone has these people that they think of as their soul mates. And while we may not always agree with whether or not they’re our soul mates, we know they’re important to us.
And then there’s also the idea of finding soul mates within our lifetimes. What about those people with whom we feel connected but don’t quite understand why? Perhaps they remind us of something we saw or heard in an old movie or book, or perhaps they remind us of someone we knew years ago. Or maybe they seem like “the one,” and we can’t let go.
Whatever the case, we know these people are important to us. They may be part of our past or our present, but they’re part of our future.
What happens when we meet someone special? Do we know it immediately, or do we wait a little longer? Are there certain signs that show us we’re on the right track? Let’s find out!
I’m not sure I have a soul mate, but if I did…
One definition says that soulmates are partners who share a deep bond, like a spiritual connection or a strong emotional connection. So, if you believe in spirituality, you may already have a soul mate. If you don’t but still believe that a life partner would complete you (and vice versa), you might want to consider meeting someone who shares similar beliefs.
Another common sign is a strong sense of intuition about a person. A lot of people think they have intuition, but really, it’s more than that. Intuition means knowing without thinking. You intuitively know something about someone without any conscious effort on your part.
For example, suppose you feel your partner has been distant lately or seems distracted or preoccupied. In that case, you’d probably be right in assuming he/she has difficulty coping with some recent news or event.
Some call it instinctive knowledge because it comes naturally instead of based on conscious reasoning. And if you don’t have much experience with relationships, you could also consider reading books or articles that speak to your intuition and ask friends or relatives to give you feedback on the ones that feel right. That’s an excellent way to determine which ones resonate most with you.
Of course, there are plenty of ways to know if someone is suitable for you besides just by instinct alone. There are many ways to test whether you’re a match, and we’ve covered some of them in detail.
How to Know You’re on Your Way?
If you’ve been dating someone for a while and are starting to feel that spark, it’s worth asking yourself these questions. If you’re the type who likes to keep things simple, then this should only take a minute. Just ask yourself:
- Do I trust her?
- Is she trustworthy?
- Am I comfortable around her?
- Does she make me happy?
- Would I marry her?

What do signs say about finding love in this world
You may not find your soul mate during your lifetime, but you’ll find love. It’s just a matter of time. The universe wants us to find a loving partner, and it wants us to be happy. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s, someone is waiting for you out there; chances are, you just haven’t met them yet.
So remember: keep smiling, living, and not sweat the small stuff.
