Why limit it to one?
There can be any number of people for you to fall deeply in love with.....

I believe love has to find the person, someone can't find it, they can be open to love but it has/will come to them.

I've heard that many times your first love is your true love.

I know of some really beautiful relationships that are each others first love, I don't think this is that common. I also know couples that were each others first love and for diff. reasons married diff. people then divored - never stopped thinking of their first love - then reunited later in life.

(I'm using "True Love" instead of "soulmate" since it's so overused)

I married my one and only first love/ lover... When we first meant we just knew this is the person I'm going to spend my life with, we married six months latter , been together 32 years, we our both still crazy about each other...Yes we our soul mates~ .

The question for me isn't if I have met my true love, because I love truly.

The question is whether I've been his true love. Doesn't seem that way in any of the cases.

I believe that two people can live and love their lifetimes together (if they are each willing to MAKE it work). I also believe that there is more than one person for everyone.

I know the feeling. Mine choked on an uncut vienna wiener in a can of baked beans. Amazing the way God takes those from us…

I have met my true love, my soul mate (though I want to note for the record that a "soul mate" does not always have to be a romantic partner)

I've already spent a large portion of my life with him and certainly do plan to spend the rest of this life and all of eternity with him too.

It's my personal belief that you don't have to "do" anything to find your soul mate - you find each other when the time is right.

I can not speak intelligently of truth, or of love, let alone of their fusion. Such wisdom is accessible only when sufficiently removed from the chase, in quiet and dispassionate introspection – which must never be conflated with premature surrender. And yet I do believe that I loved my ex-wife truly, and she me. But life interposed itself between us and truth, and we parted. Today I seek a repeat of those former times, like a wandering ghost pining for reunion with its dead body. And all the more ghostly goes the trek, for what discerning woman would abide comparison with my ex? The paradox of truth is that we must let go of it, to leave it in abstraction independent of ourselves. And only after new experience subsumes the old, can we prepare ourselves for truth anew, and with it an eventual love.
