soul mates Options

[brooklyneast05]

just because some cute girl likes the same bizzaro crap you do, that doesn’t make her your soul mate tom.

do you ever feel like this? if you find out someone likes some obscure thing you like that you assumed almost no one else in the world liked, does that make you fall for them or believe you were supposed to know them? does it drastically change how you feel or your interest in that person?

do you believe in soul mates? in a literal sense? broad sense? what is your view?

First off, LOVE the picture and quote you used. <3

if you find out someone likes some obscure thing you like that you assumed almost no one else in the world liked, does that make you fall for them or believe you were supposed to know them? does it drastically change how you feel or your interest in that person?

It would pique my interest if I find out that somebody else has something in common with me, but I definitely would not fall in love with them simply because of that. Falling in love with a person for one thing seems kind of impossible to me -- it takes time for affections to grow. My opinion of people who fall in "love" over one or two things is that they're just in lust. Pardon the cliche, but I think they just like the idea of being in love. They like the romance and mystery(?) of it.

But yeah, on the changing how you feel/your interest in that person you share something unique with... definitely. I met a girl the other day who is as terrified of whales as me, and I have to admit that I enjoyed her company a lot more since finding out about it.

do you believe in soul mates? in a literal sense? broad sense? what is your view?

The way I see it, there is no such thing as a soul mate or "the one". It's highly unlikely (impossible, I'd say) that out of the 6 billion people in the world, there's only one that is "meant" for you. People fall in love with those who are conveniently close in proximity, and it is sheer luck that a person finds one person who works for them over another who'd fit just as well.
