Hello my friend, I am a strong believer of fate, destiny and kismet but I do not believe in soulmate, the two are totally different, maybe fate will lead you to someone special in your life, it's up to you to decide whether they are your soulmate or not. Fate has played a big part in my life both good and bad, but finding a soulmate well I have never found them, don't think I ever will, fate hasn't been kind to me about finding someone but I accept that, that is my fate in life.

Yes, my friend i too believes in fate and destiny but i just don't know about my soulmate. I have been married once and i accept it was my destiny to have a bad marriage but i am grateful for my girls out of that marriage. Now, i have been alone for the last 154 yrs but i am happy maybe i have accepted the fact that this is what my life is suppose to be. Though, i admit there are times that i get these feelings of loneliness but after awhile i just shrug it off and continue with my life with no regrets. Nice to be exchanging ideas with you, my friend. Appreciate it very much!

It is ok I understood, thank you, sometimes it is best to be alone than in bad company, I have had two bad relationships in the past and I am much happier being on my own, single and a free spirit!

Destiny is finding the person destined to be your partner forever, soulmate maybe your partner at present but may not be destined to be your partner forever. Did you found your soulmate already?

Thank you Long for responding to my discussions. I thought i have found him but i was wrong, it didn't work out. Still hoping that there is someone out there for me. Thanks!

Hi sweetie I strongly believe that the two are intertwined. We can never have to HOW TO, WHEN TO and WHERE TO stuffs to choose our partner. It happens and we are just made to meet by DESTINY. Or else why, even a copybook marriage doesn't work and the most apparently bizarre marriage makes the happiest couple!

I believe in "destiny". Everything in our lives are destined. That's how I see it. The very reason why one comes to meet this person was because it was all driven by destiny.

I believe in destiny but I have learned the hard way a person can miss it. On the other hand I don't think that destiny means that a person only has one chance at love. I think a person can fall in love with more than one "right" person, as in the case of widows who remarry. I do believe though in the more immediate realm, such as where you work, where you live, which route you take down the street, and all these little decisions are a part of our destiny. For instance, I almost decided not to go to Wal-Mart the other day and I am glad I did. I ran into someone I have not seen in awhile. I also ran into a cousin I have not seen in years when I first signed up to go to the YMCA.

Just so ppl understand...are you asking us do we believe in destinys and soulmates? if thats what you want to know then my answer is yes..I think our lives are planned out by us before we are born each life and I am a FIRM believer in Soulmates. In fact we all have soulmates in our lives, at least one of them but usually more....Something ppl dont generally understand is that a soulmate IS NOT always a person you are intimately involved with or sexually attracted to and I'm very lucky to have my intimate soulmate in my life AND other soulmates that are non intimate as well....
