When you’re with your soulmate, you just feel comfortable and relaxed, like you’re at home. They get you, and everything feels right when they’re around. It’s like they’re your personal chill-out zone.

Example: You know when you’ve had the worst day ever, and then you see them, and suddenly it doesn’t seem so bad? That’s what it’s like.

Your soulmate is always there to hear about your big plans and little ideas. They encourage you and help you chase what you want, even when it seems wild. They stay by your side, cheering or helping you stand up if things don’t pan out.

Example: Let’s say you wake up one day and decide you want to start your own band. Your soulmate would be the first to say, “Let’s do it!”

Talking with your soulmate is super easy. You can talk about anything or nothing at all, and it just works. Even when you disagree, you talk it out, and it makes things better, not worse.

This could mean:

Your soulmate gets that everyone has limits, and they’re cool with yours. They won’t push you to do stuff you’re not up for. It’s all about understanding and respecting each other’s space.

What it looks like:

You and your soulmate are on the same page about what’s important in life. Whether it’s about career, family, or how you treat other people, you just agree. It’s like you’re reading from the same book on what matters most.

Example: You both dream of a tiny house by the lake, and you’re saving up together to make it happen. That’s teamwork!

When you talk, your soulmate really hears you. They listen not just to respond but to understand where you’re coming from. It’s like they put themselves in your shoes and see the world through your eyes.

Example: You had a rough day and need to vent. They sit down, look you in the eyes, and listen to every word without interrupting.

Your soulmate knows exactly how to make you crack up, even on your grumpiest days. They know how to always put a smile on your face. Their jokes, stories, or even just silly faces light up your world.

Example: You’re having a bad day,  but then they send you a video of them lip-syncing to your favorite song ridiculously. You can’t help but laugh out loud.

Honesty is their policy, and your soulmate sticks to it like glue. They keep it real with you, even when the truth is hard to hear. Even when the truth isn’t easy to tell, you can count on them to share it with you.

This could mean:

Your soulmate loves you for who you are, not for what you can do for them. They’re not keeping score, and they don’t expect you to be perfect. Their love is like getting a big bear hug that just doesn’t let go.

Example: You completely forgot about date night, but instead of getting upset, they just switch up plans and suggest a cozy night in, no fuss at all.

Your soulmate notices all the little things you do and makes sure you know you’re valued. It’s not just the big moments; they appreciate the everyday efforts you put in. Feeling seen means they recognize the real you, all your layers and depths.

What it looks like:

Hanging out with your soulmate is one of your favorite ways to spend time. They’re not just going through the motions; they’re pumped to spend time with you. Their happiness visibly lights up when you’re together.

Example: When the plan is to binge-watch your favorite show, it’s not just about the show — it’s about laughing and sharing it with them because that’s the best part.

Trust is the foundation of your relationship with your soulmate. You’ve both got each other’s backs. No secrets or lies are needed.

This could mean:

There’s no need to be perfect when you’re with them because they love you, quirks and all.

Even on your bad days, when you’re not too proud of yourself, they’re right there, reminding you that you’re enough. It’s about being loved for the real you, not an idealized version.

Example: You have a habit of being super clumsy, spilling things more often than not. Instead of getting annoyed, they just smile, help you clean up, and tease you gently, making it known they adore you — spills and all.

With your soulmate around, you can let your guard down and just be you. There’s no judging or pretending; you’re free to be as goofy or serious as you want. It’s like having a personal safe space that follows you wherever you go.

Example: You love belting out songs in the car, even though you’re no pop star, and they just sing along, making you feel like you’re on top of the world.

No matter what you’re doing, everything feels better when your soulmate is by your side. You find yourself looking forward to even the simplest activities if it means you’ll be together.

What it looks like:

Even if you both have a spat now and then, it never beats the love you share. You always find a way back to each other because what you have is way bigger than any argument.

It’s about fighting fair, making up, and knowing at the end of the day, your love is still strong.

Example: You might get into a heated debate about who’s the best superhero, but by the end of it, you’re both just laughing and planning your next movie marathon.

When you tell your soulmate something in confidence, you know it’s safe with them. They respect your privacy and understand the trust you’ve placed in them by sharing your innermost thoughts.

What it looks like:

Feeling safe and protected is a big green flag that you’re with your soulmate. It’s not about being guarded 24/7; it’s about knowing they’ve got your back. With them, you feel as secure as a phone with face ID.

Example: They stand up for you, making sure you’re treated with respect by everyone.

Your soulmate isn’t just along for the ride; they’re in the driver’s seat with you, ready to build a future together. They’ve got dreams that match up with yours, and they can’t wait to make them come true as a team.

Example: When you chat about getting a dog or buying a home, their eyes light up just like yours, and you can almost see the picket fence or the puppy running around.

Facing the world is easier because your soulmate’s got your back, cheering for you louder than anyone else. They stand up for you and your beliefs, even if you’re not around. Think of them as your personal hype person who believes in you, even on your off days.

Example: You’re not sure about applying for that dream job, but your soulmate is already reviewing your application, telling you you’re a shoo-in.

Understanding and kindness are second nature to your soulmate. They can sense how you’re feeling and offer support or comfort without you having to ask.

It’s like they have an emotional GPS that always knows the right things to say and do to make you feel better.

This could mean:

Your soulmate doesn’t just put up with the things that make you different; they throw a party for them. They love all the bits and bobs that make you special. It’s like you’re a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, and they’re your biggest fan.

This could mean:

The longer you’re with your soulmate, the better it gets. You’ve seen each other through the ups and downs, and it’s only made your love tougher. It’s not about how long you’ve been together; it’s about how the journey has bonded you.

Example: Think back to your first date, and how nervous you were. Now, here you are, sharing jokes about that night like it’s a cherished shared memory.

Your soulmate isn’t afraid to show you their soft side. They open up about what scares them and where they feel they fall short. It’s like being trusted with the most delicate parts of their soul, and you handle it with care and understanding.

Example: They’re scared of the dark, and instead of hiding it, they tell you, so you keep the night light on for them. It’s cute and just so real.

Your soulmate handles their feelings like a pro. They don’t throw tantrums or give you the silent treatment. Instead, they’re all about talking things through and staying cool, even when things get tricky.

This could mean:

Being around your soulmate just feels good because they’re always thinking about how to make things better for you.

They’re the kind of person who does little things just because they know it’ll make you smile. It’s not about grand gestures; it’s about the everyday kindness that makes you feel loved.

When you’re freaking out, your soulmate is like a Zen master. They know just what to say or do to make your stress fizzle out. It’s like they’re a walking, talking “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster.

Example: You’re late for a meeting and can’t find your keys. They swoop in, find them in a flash, and have you laughing about it as you head out the door.

Life with your soulmate is full of happy surprises that show they really get you.

It’s not about expensive gifts or dramatic displays; it’s the small, thoughtful things they do that make you feel special and understood. These little surprises are their way of showing love in everyday life.

What it looks like:

Sometimes your soulmate gives up what they want for you, not because they have to, but because they genuinely want to see you happy.

They’re willing to compromise and sometimes even skip things they like to make room for your joy. It’s not about keeping score; it’s love, pure and simple.

This could mean:

It’s the little details that matter, and your soulmate knows and remembers all the small things that make you, you.

From your favorite songs to how you like your coffee, these tidbits aren’t insignificant to them. It shows how much attention they pay to who you are and what makes you happy.

Example: They remember the name of your first pet or the story of how you got a scar.

When you need someone to count on, your soulmate is that person. You never have to worry about them letting you down or breaking a promise. They’re as reliable as the morning sun — always there, shining for you.

Example: They keep promises, big or small, and you never have to wonder if they’ll follow through.

With your soulmate, life’s like a school you never want to skip. You both keep finding new things to learn, and you do it together. It’s not just about being smart; it’s about growing as people, side by side.

Example: You’ve been curious about meditation, and they’re right there with you, sitting cross-legged and trying to get the hang of it.

No relationship is perfect, and your soulmate knows that. They’re committed to making things work, facing challenges head-on rather than ignoring them.

It’s about putting in the effort to communicate, understand, and adapt, ensuring the relationship thrives in the long run.

You and your soulmate just click when it comes to brainy stuff. Talking about everything from books to what makes the universe tick never gets old. It’s cool because you challenge each other to think more deeply and learn new things.

What it looks like:

Sometimes, being with your soulmate just feels like it was meant to be. It’s like the universe’s little wink, saying, “Yep, you’re right where you should be.” You can’t really explain it, but it feels like your paths were always going to cross.

This could mean:

Your soulmate isn’t just a carbon copy of you; they’re like the yin to your yang. They’ve got strengths in areas where you might not, and it helps keep things in harmony. Together, it feels like you’ve got all your bases covered.

Example: Your adventurous spirit encourages them to step out of their comfort zone.

Your soulmate isn’t clingy; they want you to have your own thing going on. They dig it when you do stuff by yourself or with your buddies. It’s not about being apart; it’s about supporting each other’s “me time”.

Example: You’ve got a book club meeting, and instead of making you feel guilty for going, your soulmate’s like, “Have a blast, catch you later!”

When you and your soulmate disagree, it’s not a disaster. You both work at turning fights into something you can learn from. It’s like taking the lemons life throws at you and making a killer lemonade.

This could mean:

With your soulmate, it just feels like everything’s in sync. It’s more than just liking the same movies or music; it’s about matching on the big-life-stuff level. It’s like your hearts and minds got together and decided, “Yep, this’ll work nicely!“

Example: You both radiate happiness just chilling with a pizza and a puzzle, and that’s just as perfect as a night on the town. It’s that easy-to-be-together vibe that tells you it’s real.

Being with your soulmate feels like breathing — you don’t even have to think about it. You fit together so well that even the hard stuff seems simpler. It’s like your relationship is a comfy pair of jeans that just fits right, no matter what.

Example: You’re both dead tired after work, but somehow cooking dinner together turns into fun instead of just another chore.

Your soulmate loves doing things for you, without expecting anything back. They’re all about making your day a bit brighter just because they can. It’s like they have a “generosity gene” that keeps on giving.

What it looks like:

When you mess up, your soulmate doesn’t hold a grudge. They’re all about letting go and getting back to the good times.

Mistakes and misunderstandings don’t fester into resentment; instead, you both learn from them and continue to grow stronger. 

Your soulmate sets the bar pretty high when it comes to being nice and letting things go. You find yourself wanting to be better because of them.

It’s like their goodness is contagious, gently nudging you to spread more love and understanding in the world.

You know those belly laughs and big smiles you have when you’re with them? Yeah, your soulmate is pretty much your walking, talking “happy place”. It doesn’t take much — just them being them, and boom, you’re beaming!

Example: It’s been a long, blah kind of day. They walk in, give you that look, and suddenly you’re both cracking up over nothing at all.

Your soulmate isn’t just another person in your life; they’re like a surprise bonus round. They add color where you didn’t even know it was missing. You’re constantly discovering new joys and experiences, all thanks to them.

Example: They encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, leading to growth and exciting discoveries.

Your soulmate isn’t about letting you settle for just “okay”. They push you in a good way, to go after what you really want. It’s like they’re the coach you never knew you needed, cheering you on to win big at life.

Example: You were thinking about skipping that workout, but your soulmate gives you that “let’s get moving” pep talk, and now you feel like a champ.

Enthusiasm and passion radiate from your soulmate. They love life and squeeze every ounce of joy out of it. They’re all about loving hard and living life to the fullest, and it’s pretty contagious.

What it looks like:

When you need to talk, vent, or just share your day, your soulmate is all ears with an open heart. They’re not closed off or distant. It’s like they have a “We’re open” sign on their heart that’s always lit.

No victory is too small for your soulmate to celebrate; they’re your biggest fan, after all.

Whether it’s a promotion at work, finally mastering a recipe, or just conquering a fear, they’re there with a high-five, a hug, or a happy dance. It’s as if your wins are their wins, and they can’t help but be overjoyed for you.

With your soulmate, you don’t need to stress about being flawless — they love you, warts and all. They find your little quirks charming, not irritating. Being with them gives you this awesome feeling: it’s okay to just be you!

Example: You’re self-conscious about your snort-laugh, something you’ve always tried to suppress, but they tell you it’s their favorite sound in the world.

With your soulmate, what you see is what you get. They don’t put on airs or pretend to be someone they’re not, and they don’t expect you to, either. 

Example: When they tell you, “You’re beautiful,” it’s not just empty words. You can hear the truth ringing clear as a bell, and it makes your heart do a little happy dance.

Together with your soulmate, every problem feels like a puzzle you both can solve. They’re by your side, ready to face whatever life throws at you. It’s like having a teammate who makes every challenge less scary.

Example: You’re both swamped with bills and budgeting, but they sit down with you, figure it out step by step, and suddenly the mountain looks more like a molehill.

Your soulmate doesn’t just nod along to your hopes and nightmares; they take them on as their own.

When you dream of something better, they’re plotting alongside you. And when you fear something, they’re right there figuring out armor and strategies.

Life with your soulmate isn’t just a series of days; it’s an album of incredible memories. They’re all about making even the tiniest moments special. Whether it’s an adventure or just a lazy Sunday, every moment counts.

Example: On a random weekend, they suggest a spontaneous road trip to a place neither of you has been before. The trip ends up being one of the best weekends ever!

When you think about the future, it’s just impossible not to picture them there. Your love isn’t just for now; it’s for always. It’s like your love story is one of those classics that never gets old, no matter how many times you’ve heard it.

Example: While watching a sunset together, you both talk about growing old, sharing dreams of what your lives will look like years from now.

It’s in this moment, surrounded by beauty and the comfort of your love, that you realize they truly are your forever love.

It’s better to think of a soulmate as someone who fits well with you, not someone who fills a gap. They’re about boosting each other’s strengths, not fixing each other’s weaknesses.

Many people do get this comfy, familiar vibe with their soulmate, like reconnecting with an old friend.

Yes, you can have more than one soulmate in your life. Some people think that we can have deep connections with different people who challenge us, support us, and help us grow at different times in our lives.

If you’re unsure whether your partner is your soulmate, take time to think about your relationship. Think about how they make you feel, how you talk to each other, and whether they support you in becoming a better person. Trust your gut and be honest with yourself about your feelings and what you need.

If you haven’t found your soulmate yet, don’t give up hope. Focus on growing as a person, loving yourself, and building meaningful connections with others. Trust that the right person will come into your life at the right time, and be open to the possibilities that life brings.

I’ve seen a lot of couples in my time, and let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like watching two soulmates find each other. It’s like watching two puzzle pieces finally snap into place after searching for each other in the box for so long.

Soulmates aren’t about being perfect. It’s about being perfect for each other.

If you’re still on the hunt for your missing piece, don’t give up! Your soulmate is out there, and when you find them, it’ll be like coming home. Or they’re already with you, sharing little moments and dreams. Love works like that sometimes.
