<p>I don’t know if the term " soulmates " actually exists or not, but I don’t believe you can bait for one.
It either happens or it doesn’t , but it should be spontanious and not something born of Hollywood movie expectations or any other source. of romantic salesmanship…and it also doesn’t mean the happiness it implies would provide a life of total bliss.</p>

<p>I know women my age that are still single and in the constant pursuit of their
" soul mate " while life literally passes them by when Mr. just fine is waiting in the wings</p>

<p>Wear something distinctive (doesn’t have to be a clown suit! have something on you that’s uniquely your style) and look for someone who has it on them too or someone who complements you about it. </p>

<p>You soul mate, if one exists, will tend to do the same things you’ll do at the party. Look for people who are doing the same thing you’re doing. If you’re shy and just stand around with your friend, he/she will do the same. If you’re outgoing and like to be the center of attention, he/she will do the same. </p>

<p>Finding your soul mate starts with a “hello” so go for it! even if he/she is gorgeous or way out of your league haha</p>

<p>I’ve got another thought. Your soul mate is most likely the most attractive girl that will still talk to you, and this study seems to support that. So, in reality, just try to get the hottest girl possible, then you can just tell everyone later that you were soul mates, that works much better.</p>

<p>And to reiterate again, soul mates do not exist, but they are a convenient plot point in disney/romance movies.</p>
