Soul Mates: Part One
Thursday, April 28, 2005
Came across numerous dating sites promising the opportunity to find THE ONE. Anyway, deviating away from sounding too Matrix, it's much better known as, the "Soulmate".
My mind switched to an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy some time back. The makeover candidate is a man who is a big time American football fan hoping to give his girlfriend the most unique marriage proposal ever. When asked by one of the Fab Five about what he loves about his girlfriend, he replied simply that, "She's my soul mate, it's as if we knew each other for a long time."
Soul Mates. The term is used too liberally in my opinion. Seeing it ever so often cheapens its value, and hearing certain Hollywood celebrities who change partners as quickly as their Pret-a-Porters, proclaiming "We're Soul Mates!" to the whole world only managed to speed up the equivalent of a market crash. It's not just having a partner in love (or lust), it's about someone you are able to share your journey through life with in dreams and even nightmares. We're all searching for the 'other half', in kinda like a giant cosmic jigsaw puzzle where only 2 pieces fit perfectly.
I've been with AO for almost 7 years and we have our ups and downs too. But it has come to a point where we can easily see a married life future together. So is he my Soul Mate? Frankly speaking, I do not know for sure as there is still much to know about each other as we continue to explore every single edge of our puzzle piece. Do I love him? OF COURSE I DO.
There is a 20 questions Soul Mates test that I plan to try answering with AO. The first question already threw me off with the absolute clicheness
Q1: When you first met was it as if you already knew each other?
(Doesn't this faintly echo that pick up line, "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" I remembered hearing on TV that a person who is atractive to the other party will have a higher chance of being "recognised" as it triggers off a need to be associated with the person. Urgh, perhaps I'm reading too much into this.)
Anyway, results to be in Part Two. |
