Everybody Wants a Soul Mate, Not Everybody’s Got One
Published at
iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — A soul mate is defined as a person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity. Meanwhile, only about two-thirds of Americans claim to have found one.
According to a survey conducted for Princess Cruises, 36 percent say they haven’t yet met their soul mate, and of that group, seven in ten don’t believe it will happen this year.
However, that doesn’t mean that people without that “special someone” are ready to throw in the towel.
Overall, 76 percent of Americans believe that everyone’s got a soul mate either now or in the future, while most say it takes an average of four relationships to get to that person.
Somewhat incredibly, 65 percent believe that they would know right away if someone is destined to be their soul mate.
Unfortunately, about 38 percent of Americans wind up kicking themselves for not making the first move to meet their potential perfect partner.
