Being with someone who makes you feel like you’re meant to be together is a wonderful experience. Because of this, many people opt to believe in fate, destiny, and soulmates.
However, if you’re in love, it can be difficult to tell if the person you’re dating is “the one.”
Everyone’s criteria for deciding if they can commit to someone are different, making this an extremely subjective decision. To arrive at a decision, you must weigh the evidence.
So how do you know if you and your partner were meant to be together? Here are some signs that can help you tell:
1) You tell them things you don’t tell anyone else.
When you’re in a relationship, it can be easy to feel like you tell the person everything about yourself. It’s normal to open up about your life with your partner and share intimate thoughts.
If your partner can relate to your experiences, it means they are always thinking about you.
So if you notice that you’re confiding more of your inner hopes and dreams to them than anyone else, it’s a good sign that they’re someone special.
It’s true!
You open up to them, share parts of yourself you normally keep hidden, and feel a connection that goes beyond friendship.
This could be about your deepest fears or darkest secrets.
If he or she listens to you and truly cares, then there’s a good chance the two of you can work through any problem that comes your way.
2) You let them see you in moments of weakness.
As amazing as it feels to share your deepest secrets with them, it can also make you feel vulnerable.
However, sharing doesn’t have to be a bad thing!
If you can trust your partner and know that they’re not going to judge or condescend to you, then letting them see the person that others don’t get to see is a great sign.
That person has probably already seen the worst parts of you and still holds true respect for who you are…and who you could become.
You can also share your insecurities, worries, and dreams with them.
They won’t judge or belittle you for having such feelings or thoughts. They’ll listen and support you through your journey.
If you’re with the right person, you’ll feel like you can be yourself without having to worry about how they’ll react.
They see the best in you and want you to know that there’s nothing wrong with being vulnerable or falling victim to your insecurities.
3) You respect them.
Respecting your soulmate isn’t just about knowing they’re perfect — it’s also about knowing they’re perfect for you.
Soulmates don’t have a reason to tell you to be modest or humble.
It’s your job to sit back and let them shine. If there’s someone you respect, that means there’s someone who is easy to get along with and has the qualities you look for in a partner.
Your soulmate can take care of themselves without depending on you, so it’s important to trust them and respect their decisions.
Additionally, you feel special when you’re with them and you feel a certain sense of belonging.
They make your heart sing, and that joy can resonate through every aspect of your relationship.
This isn’t normal, so it’s important to notice how special they make you feel on a daily basis.
You see them for who they really are, which can be refreshing from the people around you.
In this way, you can be around them and know that they will never make you feel bad about who you are or encourage you to become a person that you’re not.
4) You want them to meet your parents.
If you want to be with your soulmate, then you’re going to do everything in your power to make it happen.
In fact, they need to meet all of your family members, especially your parents.
Your friends and family will be able to see how great they are, too.
It’s a sign that you’re with someone who will love you and support you for the rest of your life.
But why your parents? It seems like a weird detail to include in this list.
But think about it:
If someone is important enough for you to introduce to your parents, it’s probably because you trust them — or are at least open enough to the idea of spending the rest of your life with them.
No matter how well your partner understands you and makes you feel, it’s important to pull back the curtain and let them see your family as they really are.
If they can’t meet everyone in your family, then they might not be the right person for you.
So if you can set aside a special time and show them what kind of person you are, then you know they’re the right one.
If there’s someone who feels like a part of your family just by being around them, then this is a sign you’re destined to be together.
5) You can imagine a future together.
Finally, you can’t expect to be with your soulmate if you can’t imagine a life together.
You know that it exists because you can picture it clearly in your mind.
This is the missing piece in a lot of relationships that ends up badly — whether because of a cheating partner or difficulties with money.
Perhaps one person was less invested than the other, but after being together for a long time, it’s hard for people to see just how far apart they are.
Look:
You know how you feel on the inside and you can see how you want to be with that person.
And they’re confident enough in your relationship to let you know how they feel.
The days of “I love you but…” come to an end when the two of you can imagine a future together, which is the exact kind of dream relationship that souls do want.
6) You’re not afraid to disagree with each other.
It’s important to be able to disagree with your partner.
It doesn’t mean you’re not soulmates — in fact, it shows that you’re with someone who is open-minded enough to talk about their problems instead of holding them in and avoiding the issue.
Most importantly, a relaxed and healthy love relationship will be able to tolerate differences between you and your partner.
If you can’t do that without arguing or getting frustrated, then you’re not ready to be with someone just yet.
There’s nothing wrong with having differences and disagreements, so long as you try to avoid an argument.
Eventually, you and your partner will still have something in common, which will make it much easier for the two of you to work through problems in a healthy way.
If you love a person and want to be with them for the rest of your life, then tell them what’s on your mind.
7) They can sense your pain.
I’ve learned that a person who is destined to be with you will be there for you during the tough times. This means they will pick up on when you are feeling insecure, unhappy, and lonely.
They can sense your vulnerability and they want to help you feel better. Empathy is one of the best traits of a soulmate.
Your soulmate will be able to feel your pain. They’ll be able to do this without you even telling them about it. It’s a common trait between pairs of soulmates.
8) Your relationship is helping you grow.
What’s the point of being with someone who’s never going to challenge you?
You both get bored if you’re not growing as a couple.
And how could your partner grow if they don’t have anything to push them to change and improve?
Choosing the right person for you will force you both to grow individually. This is important because without this growth, your relationship won’t last that long.
That’s the point!
If you’re with your soulmate, then you should be able to see how your relationship makes you a better person. You won’t find yourself stuck in a toxic relationship where neither of you are enjoying yourselves or learning anything along the way.
Sure, that’s bad enough — but it gets worse if you’re also bringing each other down because of your own insecurities and problems.
They should help build up each other’s weaknesses until they have no more weaknesses left.
9) You laugh together.
Life is full of problems that can make you feel down, frustrated, and unsatisfied.
Your soulmate will be able to make you laugh again — even if it’s through a joke that nobody else understands.
Even if they’re not the funniest person in the world, they’ll find ways to lift your spirit and make you smile. And this will happen over and over again as you become closer together.
That’s right!
If you’re in a relationship with your soulmate, then you’ve probably already laughed a lot together.
For one thing, life is much easier when you’re with someone who can make you laugh.
But there’s more to it than that. For example, when you laugh, endorphins are released in your brain — which causes happiness and relaxation.
Happiness makes us want to be around others and interact with them more often.
10) You feel deeply connected to them.
You know that your soulmate is someone you connect with on an intimate level.
You’ll be able to feel deep in your heart that they’re truly the only one for you — and this is something you’ll never forget.
You will remember all the signs you have for a soulmate and be able to feel it in your heart:
The feelings of being exceptionally close to someone.
How anything can set them off and make them mad.
In order to feel deeply connected to someone, you need to pay attention to what they’re saying and how you’re feeling.
You can’t simply feel a connection when your partner is telling you about their childhood or work problems. In fact, it might be hard for you to feel that connection at all.
It only happens when both of you are talking about something that matters to the two of you.
11) You feel “at home” when you’re together.
We all have a unique energy and we all make a different type of deep connection with other people.
The feeling of being “at home” or “at ease” is when you feel comfortable around someone. You no longer feel stressed, anxious, or afraid that they’re going to hurt you in any way.
You find yourself smiling and radiating positive vibes when you’re with them. It’s like they’re a part of you.
If you’re in a relationship with your soulmate, then you’ll be able to feel this connection as soon as you meet them.
You’ll know with absolute certainty that they are the right person for you — even before you exchange a single word.
It doesn’t matter how silly or dumb it sounds, but your body will be sensitive to their energy. You’ll feel at ease and happy just being near them.
12) Your partner is your safe place.
If you’re constantly worrying about what to say in a conversation, then you know how difficult it is to speak with someone.
You might even end up saying the wrong thing and making them mad.
But if your soulmate can make you feel calm, happy, and confident when you’re around them, then they truly deserve to be called your soulmate.
Your soulmate will be your “safe place” and this is something that you can’t find anywhere else in the world.
Why?
You know exactly where your soulmate is in the world and you know when they need to be there for you.
This connection between you means that they’re always going to be there for you in a time of need. And this makes them your safe place.
If you’re with your soulmate, then there’s no one else in the world that can make you feel as secure as they do. You’ll trust them with anything — even if it means going against other people’s opinions.
13) The two of you bring balance to each other’s lives.
Balance is something we all have in life — it’s just a question of finding it with the right person.
If you find someone who completes your balance, then you’re going to be able to enjoy life much more.
Your soulmate will bring balance to every aspect of your life and make it easier for you to live.
And you can also do the same for them…
When you meet your soulmate, this is something that will become quite obvious to both of you.
You’ll feel like you’ll never run out of things to talk about. The two of you will bring balance to each other’s lives and make it feel more fulfilling.
14) They make you a better version of yourself.
There are many benefits to being with your soulmate, but one of the most important ones is that you’re able to become a much better version of yourself.
You learn something new about yourself every day when you’re with them and this keeps your mind working at full capacity.
When you’re with someone who is constantly trying to make you feel better, then that means they have no intention of letting you down.
Your relationship with your soulmate is going to be a beautiful thing!
Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn how to skateboard or play guitar, but you always felt like it was too difficult for you.
When you’re with your soulmate, they’ll encourage and motivate you until you feel confident enough to give it a try.
They’ll motivate and inspire you every day to be a better person and become a better partner for them.
15) You share many of the same interests.
If you’ve ever had a passion for something and felt like you’re the only one in the world who cared about it, then there’s a good chance that your soulmate has too.
In fact:
We’re all unique in our own way, but there are certain interests and hobbies that almost everyone has.
For example, if you’re a big fan of Pokémon, then your soulmate probably has this same passion — and maybe even plays it too.
It’s amazing when you can share the same interests with someone and connect on such a deep level.
It’s like you’re each other’s “soulmate for Pokémon”!
They’re things that we like doing and we want to share with our friends.
A big part of having a relationship with your soulmate is sharing common interests. They will both be into the same things and this helps to bring balance to your lives.
Maybe you enjoy cleaning or cooking while they are obsessed with comic books or basketball. This will make your life more interesting — because you know that they’re going to enjoy what you like as well!
16) You are willing to do anything for this person.
You’re willing to do anything for someone or something that you love.
When you truly care about someone and want them to be happy, then you’re willing to do anything for them.
This person will be your soulmate and they’re going to make you feel amazing in every way.
Before you can know if they’re the right person for you, it’s important to consider whether they are willing to sacrifice themselves for your well-being too.
You know that your soulmate will be there for you and do anything in their power to make you happy.
This means they are willing to go the extra mile for you and this is something that your heart needs.
It doesn’t matter how many other people there are in the world, but it’s something that will always be important.
17) You can argue respectfully.
If you and your soulmate can give each other space, then you’ll be able to respect each other in the long run.
If you have a healthy relationship, then you’ll know that there are certain things that are off limits.
So if one of you is starting an argument because they’re feeling hurt or angry, then they should be willing to talk about it later.
They need to stop the argument and wait until they’re both calm enough to talk about it properly.
That’s right!
Your relationship will become more stable if you can give each other room. You’ll be able to respect each other more and this helps to keep your relationship alive.
18) You love each other’s families.
Soulmates are interested in forming deep connections with other people.
When you come from different backgrounds, then you can create a sense of trust and understanding with the person that you’re with.
You might not agree on every single thing, but you know and will respect each other’s families.
When this happens, it helps to bring balance to your relationship!
They’re more than a member of your family.
They’re part of a community, a family, and they’ll be someone that you can count on.
You’ll feel safe around them and know that they are someone who you can trust with your life.
Your soulmate will be there for you when it matters most and this is something that is special in any relationship!
19) They trust you and always choose you first when in doubt.
When you’re with your soulmate, they’ll trust you and always choose you first.
This means that they want to be with you and know that you’re the perfect person for them.
When you’re with someone who does this, it helps your relationship become more stable.
If it ever becomes necessary, then this person will choose you first.
You’ll know exactly how to make them happy. They’ll never surprise you and need your help in order to feel good about someone else.
This means that they’re constantly choosing you over a relationship with someone else.
Your soulmate will treat their other relationships as just a distraction from their real love for you.
20) You finish each other’s sentences.
When you’re able to share a bond with someone that involves finishing each other’s sentences, then it means that you have a special connection.
You know what the other person is thinking and they know what you’re thinking too.
They give you the love and attention that you need and this helps to keep your relationship alive!
No wonder!
When two people can share a very special bond like this one, then it becomes easier for them to trust each other.
They know that they can rely on each other to always be there.
21) You feel like you’re the luckiest person in the world.
When you look at them, you’re reminded of everything that’s good in your life and feel grateful they are a part of it.
People often feel invincible when they’re in love.
It’s a feeling of certainty and always knowing that things will be just fine.
It shows that everything is going to be okay, which helps to create a sense of comfort in relationships.
When you’re with a soulmate, you know that they’re the one for you and it’s awesome! You feel like you lucked out and are so lucky to have found your person.
22) It’s OK to be quiet around them.
Soulmates don’t expect you to talk all the time.
Why?
They’re interested in your thoughts and what you’re thinking.
This means they’re going to ask you questions and want to know who you are and where you come from!
They will listen to what you have to say and show an interest in your life — which is amazing!
When it comes to love, we all have this inner desire for someone else to value us just as we are.
23) When they’re not near or by your side, you get sad or bored while thinking what it would be like to be with them again.
Yes, when you’re in love, you miss them so much when they’re not around.
You think about them all the time and can’t wait to be with them again.
This makes it easier to know that they really are your soulmate.
When you feel bored or sad without them, it means that they’re the one!
If they’re your soulmate, then you’ll never be bored or sad without them.
Feeling this way is normal and means that you can’t wait to see them again.
This is how you know that they’re important to you and how they love you.
