Do you believe in soulmates? I met someone and immediately felt like she is *the* one- but I am skeptical of the idea of people having 'other halves' and love at first sight in general. Plus, even though I felt this the second I met her, I've only known her a month. Have I gone insane? What do you guys think about the notion of soulmates?

I completely believe in it. In fact, every hot chick I see, especially if they're in yoga pants, feels like my soul-mate.

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”- Elizabeth Gilbert

It's puppy-love infactuation. Springs coming, we can all feel its natural cycle of awakening.

Contrary to what I wish wasn't true, I think love at first sight is how it works in nearly all cases of coupling, either short or long term. Casual reading of psychological literature would prob back me up here.Even in those cases where the story is something like "at first he really bugged me, then after a while..." . I'll be frank, that is bull. It feels better embracing such a story, but that is just self justification and a story we tell ourselves to think we aren't as reactive as we really are. Men and women. Even if you convinced yourself that your guy / girl was an asshole when you first met, there was something in him/ her you liked. If there is an element of like/lust at first encounter, then all subsequent interactions are perceived through those glasses. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. Converse is true too- when folks split, the story changes and everything about the other is awful and negative. The common themes in both stages of relationship is that they are both stories we tell ourselves, and those stories only exist between our ears and nowhere else.
