Soul Mate, Soul Man

Ken at the Inkjet Blues Journal posted the following survey this morning as challenge. Play along at home.

1) Define in one sentence what a "soul mate" is.
Some one who understands you on the deepest level, who tolerates your flaws and appreciates your virtues.
2) Can there be more than one potential soul mate?
Yes, I think so, especially if one accepts the fact that there can be different kinds of soulmates other than a romantic soulmate. You could, for example, connect deeply with someone on an intellectual level, without having carnal feelings for that person. Some of my closest friends, people I feel especially attuned to, I would consider soulmates of a sort.
3) Have you met or married your soul mate?
Er, judging by my train-wreck relationships, and assuming you mean soumate in a romantic sense, that would be a big fat no.
4) Is your life worse off if you never find a soul mate?
"Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something."
