Okay, perhaps this belongs in the "Musings" thread, but...
Have you ever thought that maybe, at some point in your life, when you met the person you are "destined" to love-- it isn't this person, period. It is one of two, three, eighty, more... and any of them would be your perfect match, or close enough as no matter. But you "miss" some of them, and then meet one, and that becomes your match.
It removes the other forks in the prophecy, perhaps, to refernce the Sword of Truth novels.

Okay so we're talking about the One now? And you think 2 people you love, that one of them is THE One? Or are you musing whether the One even exists?

::dons sunglasses:: I am the One.
Oh, please.
I believe that there could be more than one perfect match ... I mean, I believe there is someone you're destined to meet, and if there was only one of them, then it'd be hard to find 'em ...
FREE YOUR MIND!
::puts a muzzle on Pocket::
Mmmpph!

I think that there're more than one,too. Hell,anyone I've been with could've been one of them. It's impossible (well,I never say impossible...improbable) that there is ONLY ONE.

I don't believe in the One, either. I think there are more than one "One"s, if that makes sense. Loads of different people that you can meet which could be the person that you could make things happen with. Sparks could fly with any of those people, and I'm sure there are many out there that are meant for you, but you only meet a few in your lifetime.
That probably only made sense in her mind.

Well, Zoe, I'm not trying to be so pretentious as to say that right now I have met "the one for me," no. I am considering the possible existance of the "soulmate," the single person (or maybe not single, as I said above) whom your are destined to love shuld you meet her (or, of course, him).
I do not know if I believe in destiny or not... does free will even exist? I don't know. If destined to love a person...would it be real? I would have no choice, no control, no impact at all, right?
And if I have a choice, then anyone could, in theory, make me as happy as anyone else, right? So how could there be a destined mate?
This is what I do with my free time anymore. Anyone else confused yet?

Oh yes, it is extremely confusing but who ever said love was easy? It's supposed to be complicated. I don't believe in the One but I believe there is someone you're meant to be with. You could fall ridiculously in love with a million people but everyone's paths in life are pre-decided and as Serafina Pekkala said 'we are all subjects to the fates but we must all pretend we're not, or else die of despair' so yeah we're all destined to marry etc a particular person, whether they're the One or not. Everything's predecided so basically free will is not existent, we just think we have free will. God this is depressing

This reminds me of something a good friend of mine told me. She said that everybody can have more than one soul mate. She said that soul mates aren't even necessarily the person you fall head over heels in love with...nor does it mean that you and that person will be friends together for always. She said that a soul mate is someone you share a deep connection with. If you can teach each other anything, that lasting impression will last you, even if your closeness with that person may not. A soul mate is someone who touches your soul...a teacher, a friend, a sibling, perhaps or perhaps not a lover. I like her idea. There have been a lot of people in my life who have touched a deep part of me that nobody else could. None of them lasted, but we did teach each other. And I wasn't with any but one, the most painful one. People say that there is a One out there. But the truth is, we meet many The Ones in our lives, most people. And we meet many we thought could be the One, but end up being friends with, instead. And that's okay, too. The basis of any good relationship has to be friendship and trust. Without those two things, -no- relationship will work. Not an enjoyable one. I won't say that I don't believe in a One for everybody. I just think there are more than one..Ones. ^^; And those Ones might not necessarily be the one you marry. Am I making sense? o.o; But that's just my two cents.

That does make sense, Kate. I like that idea. =)
So I've already met one soul mate. Cool.

Wow. There is no One, because there's more than one of them. And here I thought I was out of math class. XD Well, yeah, that makes sense. It's why I'm so confused. Are you *trying* to make them run in confused circles? Yeah. No. I don't know. I'll leave now, shall I?

Well, at this present time, it's difficult for me to believe that there could possibly be more than one 'One'.

You fall in love with quite a few people in your lifetime, most people do anyway and when you're in love you think they're the One. Just because you marry one of the loves of your life, doesn't mean that they definitely are the One. You just never fall out of love with them, and if you do, well you get divorced and start looking for the One. Which would actually be the next One.
So there's no one who will ever completely love you for you?

This can be connected (possibly) to a book called The Sullestine [?] Prophcy. It says something along the lines of very interaction forms a connection that flows both ways, you give and recieve whenever an event, a connection, exists. I only heard of it today, but... has anyone here ever heard of it?

Not me, but it sounds cool. I see where you're going with this, too.
