Maybe not necessarily in the 'destiny' way, but it can happen.

What about: there are any number of people out there for everyone, with whom they could live happily ever after.
Love does not remain whatever magical ponyland you first fall into, it takes sustained effort and a hell of a lot of humility. Given introspection, patience, and a sense of humor *on both sides*, just about anybody could have a functional relationship, imho.

Yea, for the first option I meant: There is at least one person.

Ah ok. Of course, then. Forever alone is a myth.
Edit: unless one chooses to be alone, obv, because it makes you happier. I am not some love fascist or anything. Do what you want.

I've been thinking about this for a while. There are a finite number of women on the planet. If you were able to "step out of" time and observe all possible futures with all possible women, there would be one woman with whom you were most happy. In that sense, there is a "soulmate" in the sense that there is a woman who will maximize your happiness; but seeing as there are billions of women on the planet, and given that you'll probably never meet more than a thousand women in your lifetime, odds are you won't meet your the woman who will make you most happy. So you'll just have to make do with what you've got, even though there might not be much to work with.

I would like to think so. But from what I've seen, it changes states. Being permanently "madly in love" is not possible. In reality, love requires a lot of compromise and learning to think "we" instead of "I".
