I like your posts for some reason. I think many people we encounter are soulmates. As far as ending up with someone to be intimate with, maybe that's just a repeat meeting from another lifetime. Then, some of those encounters may not even work because this lifetime isn't going to work at that level for a particular soulmate. I'm just speculating how to form a belief about this. Say this guy is your soulmate, then that could mean you've been with him before and that's what drives all the signs or your seeding of signs - that you recognize his pull for you in this life. But that doesn't mean this lifetime is going to work out. I like to think there are many possible soulmates floating around in our lives. Some we've been with in the past or tried to be with and then we recognize them now. Then it's a matter for timing for one of those possibles to pan out.

I guess my next step is to get a pychic reading to get a professional's opinion about it. But then there will always be other pychics who would say something different! lol I feel like a ping pong ball,bouncing from one corner to another,never sure what to believe in anymore. I have always had a tendency to believe in miracles,magic,faith,signs,all that cool "unseen" stuff...so it is really depressing for me to consider that this stuff isnt real.

You already see how that would go - don't do too much of that, right? you can get addicted to readings you know?

I want to feel like something is MEANT for me and is going to happen. But i suppose that's taking the easy way out. I just cant help but want that magical moment where i meet "the one" and i want to know that it's coming before i get there.

Magical moments, sure, why not. However, knowing before hand would take away from the magic. All the sparks I've felt from someone, was not from knowing ahead of time. And that magical moment is mutual physical chemistry, I think. You both ketch each other's gaze and feel a jitter.

I guess i don't like uncertainty and thats a big no no right? lol I want to know that something that i want is coming,i dont want to live HOPING i get it but not really knowing for sure if i will. I guess its from living so long like that,that i cant trust in it anymore. Every time i see signs about a certain guy,i beleive in them,and i beleive i will be with him,and then i inevitably waste years of my life on waiting for this to happen when it never does. Ugh i hate how i really believe in things and then they dont work!

Radically all beliefs are a form of attachment. Attachment is suffering. So then that's my belief (he he) that all beliefs lead to suffering. I'm still working that idea out.

This is why i got so upset this time,because i believed in this more than anything before. I guess i'll just work on myself and forget about relationships,even though by doing that,i feel like the universe will see that i'm happy alone and that isnt what i want. How do you live alone happily yet still want more,what does the universe respond to then? Ugh you'd think i would have this figured out by now,but i feel like i'm going in circles here LOL I'm sure you all are ready to slap me right off these boards LOL

So you built of a belief which was an attachment to a certain thing panning out, and then it didn't. I would venture to say living alone and finding love in whatever sphere you have is how it works. Find love for yourself and expand it and it will start to touch others and be a vibe that opens doors to the possible soulmates that you haven't met yet. You won't be living in a feeling of lack or sending a vibe of wanting more, but a vibe of "look how cool this feeling is, it would be cool to expand it and include some others". Does that make any sense? btw, I doubt anybody is thinking you need to be slapped off these boards. Probably the opposite. You are very welcomed here, it seems to me. What you write about is a struggle that we all face, and your ability to state how some of these 'new agey' or 'IM' ideas don't seem to really work helps others see how to put these ideas together better. Right everyone reading this?
