You will one day when you least expect it. Most likely it will be where you didn't expect it at and once you both meet, you'll both just know it. That you've both found at long last your soul mate! I'm serious, that's exactly how my wonderful wife and soul mate did. Don't try and rush it, if it will happen, and you know it will, then just let it. Remember they've been searching for you all their life also.

I saw a comedian talk about this. He said think of the billions of people who ever existed in human history. What are the odds that YOU will find your perfect soul mate, here, at the same moment you exist? It's astronomical. Chances are, you eventually find someone you think is your soul mate, but really, you just decide they are preferable to anyone else you've met. Your true soul mate, the one individual whose soul might have resonated wholly with yours, might have died in 1750, or 1899, or 1985. You'll never meet them.

because i have tried all my possible best, I'll be 31 July
i honestly do not care anymore and I'll just go with the flow

Complicated answer in my case. It seemed to take about 20 years, but it took almost twice as long to find the healthy contentment that finding your soulmate is supposed to afford

I don't know if honesty has anything to do with how long it takes to find a match.

Some people never find theirs.
Some people find many.

And things/feelings/matches could change over time.

There’s no set time.. it’s different for everyone

It took me 51 years

2 years

@Amberlynnn A mathematical equation won’t give you an answer to when, where or how. Maybe try less and it will happen when you least expect it.

60+ years thus far

For some people....never

Hopefully not too long.

Impossible to know. You will probably never find it perfectly but maybe come close enough to satisfy you.

Some never do

Sooner than you may expect.

maybe a few lifetimes

til you ded
