    It's a nice notion but not a realistic one. I think i believed it once but now i'm more inclined to believe there are people out there you can be happy with, but im too disillusioned/cynical :p to believe in the idea of soulmates and fate. I'll probably end up a spinster with cats but for now i'm happy living in the today, and not thinking about the future

    Is there someone for everyone? Well I happen to believe yes, however, I think its a matter of luck/chance/destiny as to whether you ever meet them.

    I think that you have to go out and want to make someone your someone! Then if that someone wants to be your someone, you're on to a winner!!

    I don't think that there is a "person right" for someone, but there are "person right *now*". Some of these are just meant to be quick flings, but other relationships grow and develop as you grow and develop together. But just because you are happy at 30, 40 and 50 does not meant that you will be happy at 60 if you both grow apart.

    No.

    Some people are just downright unpleasant.

    Some people don't want or need a partner.

    I think there's multiple people for everyone. It's just about choosing the one you want to commit to and forgetting about the rest. ;):D

    When it feels like there's no hope, just think of Paul Daniels. Really annoying, no much of a looker, and he still has had more than his fair share of women.

    Except for his missus. She was rank.
