Well, that's another thing, are such scenarios (which are sweet, BTW!) support for the idea of soul mates, or simple clairvoyance?
Clairvoyance wouldn't mean there has to be such a thing as soul mates, it would mean there has to be such a thing as clairvoyance.
I do love those stories even though I really don't believe. I enjoy a great story and I enjoy seeing people wind up very happy.
I see what you mean. Well, life works in mysterious ways. Maybe some people have soul mates, and others don't, because they're more open to finding compatible people (there can be several, over a lifetime), and being content with that, instead of some big fireworks-driven "soul mate" thing. Different strokes for different folks.
I would tend to say "no", but I've heard some pretty unusual stories, so maybe in some cases, the universe does conspire. I've heard of people who knew years in advance exactly the circumstances in which they'd meet their future spouse. Unusual circumstances. Some seemingly clairvoyant moments. Odd.
Come to think of it, it is kind of funny how the Mr. and I ended up getting together. For years we lived only a couple of blocks away from each other, shared at least 1/2 dozen mutual friends, and worked a couple of doors down from each other, hell, at one point he was even dating a girl I was friends with... but our paths didn't cross until the timing was right and we both just happened to be single (well, he was soon to be single). It's just strange how in an everyone-knows-everyone kind of community, we were never in the same place at the same time until then.

No, definitely no. However, I do think two people can be extraordinarily well matched, and that's what gives rise to the nonsense about soul mates. It's just extreme compatibility, and there can be many such people in the world - you just may not meet many of them, but it feels special when you do.
My wife is what some would call a soul mate - but we're just remarkably well matched and compatible in so many ways. There's really nothing mystical about it, but it can feel that way, I suppose.
Yea I dreamt of my old bf a year before I met him,I was in a lake with him in poland (he was a polish guy )there was talk of polish kings,till that point I had never known any polish people I met him about a year later and became very into Poland after that.
People are no longer very intuitive,they focus more on reasoning so this feminine aspect is ignored.

You may find your soul mate next month, but in 20 years he will be that same old ******* you divorced this year.

Do you think soulmates exist? Does the universe really conspire to bring two people together? Thoughts and experiences welcome!
Absolutely, yes. Its not an everyday thing, and many people who are guided to each other , choose to dismiss the signs of that guidance, and follow another party. That whole free will thing. I firmly believe my lady and j were brought together by a higher power. We were put on a collision.course. before we ever met. When we did meet, were were both taken with each other. But, we were both married to others, and our feelings, which did nothing but grow, weren't expressed, until quite sometime down the road. She even moved away for a while, but circumstances kept working to put us back in each others path. we remained close friends during all this time, even though we lost touch for a while, we each had the other on our minds.
She divorced from her abusive marriage, I remained in mine for a while, but , as all sjch relationships go, I divorced as well. During that period in my life, I lost touch again, but staying that way wasn't part of the plan. After all this time in the same orbit, we wound up culminating that collision course. Fi ally we were able to actually fell each other how we felt. After a LONG time repressing feelings, each of us not really knowing how we really felt, wanting something we both thought we could never have, and then crashing into it. Then, looking back at all that time, and seeing how things always kept us in each others path. Always. Truly amazing circumstances, that kept us moving toward each other. Regardless of where we were, no matter bow far away, and of the times we were out of touch.
The odds seemed astronomically against us coming together. Like another force was fighting against the one that was pulling us together, and trying to keep us apart. Fi e years ago, we. became a couple, a d despite seriously traumatic evengs, gbag happened to us after our. coming together, things that could easily destroy most relationships, we never gave up, and we are stronger now for the trials. We've.never used the term "soulmates" in describing what it is we have. Never really tried to attach any term to it. But, we do both believe a higher power brought us together for some reason, and that a dark one has tried very hard to keep us apart. We would both fight to the death to see the latter doesn't win.
Other than how much we love each other, why it is we were brought together like this, we don't understand , yet. But there has to be a reason but, until that may be shown us, what we feel for each other is more than enough. We have received both high praise and happiness , and naked disdain from people for how we feel, and the scrafices we've made to keep it together. Neither of which matters to us. Were just thankful for what we have. Something we felt, for a long time, we couldn't have. Never been so happy to be wrong. So, I guess we both believe in "soulmates" , even if we don't call it that, or anything, really. We just believe in each other, and don't need a trendy term to call that by.
The basic material for a soul mate may be there, even if it has not been tapped. But yes, people can and do randomly collide and bring out the best relationship qualities of themselves and their partner, even if previously hidden, and bond for life
I believe that we can click very well with certain people, but my belief that we make our own destiny precludes the idea of soulmates or "the one." The concept that two people are made only for one another doesn't mesh well with evolutionary theory, either. It's a very sweet idea, though.
