Does everyone have a soul mate?
How many?
Does it have to be the person you are in a serious relationship with?

I find the idea of soul mates... well, it scares me. its a bit 'one-shot', if you will. Even if there are plenty of soulmates out there for one person.
I believe in friends who become something more. And it does not have to be the person you are in a serious relationship with. It can be a bolt of lightning on a given day or something akin to a slow burning flame - to be realized over a duration of time.

I think its a state of mind. We can have real soul mates but what we try to find here is "created by the society". We have started thinking the way media and market is telling us. We try find soul mates on Valentine's day, Friendship day and on occasions and festivals created by us.
I have never met any yet. In starting they say "I love you" and "I Think we are soul mates".. and I simply smile because I know that soon soul will end and just "Mate" will remain.
I just enjoy friendship, that is the most "Soul" fulfilling relationship i have ever known.

Hmmm I suppose I agree with Biryani that the term "soul mate" is a very socialized concept. I like to think of "soul mates" just as people we connect to in a way that we don't with others - not necessarily a spiritual thing, some people may feel that they have many and others may feel that they don't have any. I feel like I have maybe 2 friends that I connect with on a "soul mate" level. Although my partner is the one I love and go home to everyday, there are things that only my "soul mates" will understand because they have more similar lifestyles and experiences to me. Even these 2 friends though, are not my perfect soul mates. I wonder if I have one...

I don't think you have only one soul mate. I also don't think your soul mate has to be the one you're romantically involved with. And I agree that a soul mate is just someone that gets you like no other does (except another soul mate!) :)
I have 2 soul mates - one is my best friend and the other is my partner.

I have gone through a phase of believing that soul mates must be romantic partners. However now I think of it as people with whom one feels a connection and that exists irrespective of the time or space that may separate you. In fact now I look at it soul family in a way..
