There's no such thing as a perfect person there's only someone who is perfect for you.
Well said, I agree

I'd put it this way, for me my soul mate was the one I could not live without, the one who could not live without me. When you find THAT person, he's your soul mate

In your dreams, I suppose.

And of course, on those "must have" lists that many women prepare.

The longer the list, the more perfect he is!

I believe in soulmates, but many of us will go through life without ever meeting them. Or in some cases, you'll meet them but the timing is all wrong. That was my situation. Having that someone within my grasp but the timing was wrong. Those are the ones that haunt you.

No one and nothing is perfect. We may all agree that no person is perfect. So why would we expect a perfect match?

As time passes, we find that a "perfect" partner, a soul mate, the perfect person for me is ... a figure of speech. This is not to say that some people are not better matched than others but there is little "perfection" in the world. The whole quest for a sole mate makes us think there is some magic at play - something that "happens", and then we can "live happily ever after". But in fact, a good relationship takes WORK. Much of the work is to learn to accept the imperfections of the other!

There's no such thing as a perfect match, or soul mate. There are just those that you can fall in love with, and since you're both such an overall decent match you don't really have to try or otherwise "work" to keep things going. Or since there's that much love behind it, it's not work to you to change certain things to keep things going.

Still lookin' myself.

Wow, me thinks we have a case of a highjacked moniker!
