<p>I want to go to an ivy league school and find my future, the love of my life, at the college I go to. I want her to be smart, funny, and seriously perfect.</p>
<p>Any thoughts on finding a soulmate in college? Does it come by luck? Or, should I forget it and live up the bachelor life?</p>
<p>
An open mind. That’s all it takes. </p>
<p>haha. Okay. I get what you mean. It’s something we all wish for; maybe you can find some success stories in the College Forum.</p>
<p>If you find her, keep her. If you don’t, live a bachelor life.</p>
<p>It does sort of come by luck. You happen to meet the girl of your dreams. No one puts her there for ya. But every one is going to have their flaws, so don’t look for the absolutely perfect girl, because she doesn’t exist.</p>
<p>I found my soulmate in high school, so it can happen whenever.</p>
<p>I really hope this is a ■■■■■ thread…</p>
<p>^lol its not a ■■■■■. I know my answer but i just like getting other peoples perspectives on issues. use this as a discussion (that was actually my original intent).</p>
<p>i don’t really want to “find” anyone. i want to “be found.” as corny as it sounds …</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you’re serious, that’s very, very sad…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Pix pleez.</p>
<p>^Back off buster. She’s mine : ]</p>
<p>I found her first! X_X</p>
<p>True. And now that I look at your join date, I find that your number of posts is fairly ridiculous : ] </p>
<p>Ah well, no matter. Smiley still loves me more.</p>
<p>hmm being found on the internet wasnt exactly what i had in mind …</p>
<p>
imagine if hsl posts counted … i think most HSLer’s post counts would be ridiculous.</p>
<p>^^ Agreed, about HSL.
If those counted I would be…OVER 9000!</p>
<p>Love isn’t about finding the perfect person, it’s about finding perfection in the right person.
Let the good times, roll man. She’ll come to you (:</p>

</p>
<p>REJECTED. Ouch =(</p>
<p>
Because posting on CC definitely makes you a cool cat!! 8)</p>
<p>I think one thing to remember is that there’s probably no perfect person. I sort of think there is one somewhere who’s your jeevan saathi, but you might not meet that person, that person might die young, or you could, or you could just be born into totally different parts of the world, so you never met, or if you did, you couldn’t speak to each other.
Its sort of like perfect contrition. This metaphor is going to get religious, but I just don’t have any other one. To be perfectly contrite, your sorrow must come from love of God, not fear of Hell or common decency. And the depth of your sorrow does not matter, just the source. So basically, I think you have a soulmate somewhere,and falling in love with that person is like being perfectly contrite. It’s just love from a certain source, and it’s not necessarily more deep than other love.
Following from that, you can fall deeply and wholly in love with a lot of different people. Have you ever seen The Devil and Miss Jones? It’s a pretty good old movie, and at some point, the main characters go to the beach, where they see two lovers nibbling on each other’s ears. Someone says, something like “Now, I’m sure they’re perfectly happy, niblbling on each other’s ears like that, and I’m sure each one couldn’t imagine it being someone else, but don’t you think that if she hadn’t met him, she’d be nibbling on someone else’s ear right now, just as happy, just as in love, and just as certain that it could never be anyone else? And the same for him?”
So, what I’m trying to say is, an awful lot of guys you meet at college could be the “perfect” guy, even if you don’t have that instant connection that I find people normally have with soulmates.</p>
