I got an email from Matchmaker.com today that touted the subject line, “Hurry, or your soulmate my disappear!’.
Seriously, a scare tactic is the best their marketing tool they can come up with? That stupid subject line is supposed to propel me to the site where my soulmates wait for me and no one else.
Puh-lease.
First: I am not that easily frightened. Especially from one of the myriad of online dating sites that populates the internet. If you really want to terrify me, tell me that you have a man for me. He is rich. Tall. Dark. Handsome. And wants to support me in a way that I’d like to become accustomed too and that if I don’t email him you will tell my MOM!
Now that might get my attention.
Second: I don’t believe in soulmates. If there is only one person for everyone, then most of us are screwed. What if he met someone else first? What if my soulmate was killed in a wreck? What if he’s only five feet tall (I know. Shallow! But I really do like my men to be taller than me). So where does that leave me? Soulmateless and hopeless?
Bite me, Matchmaker! No more profiles for you!
Do you know what I believe? I believe in TIMING. You can meet the most perfect man in the world and if he just got dumped and wants to play the field and you are ready for a relationship, then there is NOTHING that will help you. You cannot change his mind. Cannot convince him to care more than he is ready for. The timing is off.
Soulmate my ass.

I find the whole soulmate thing hard to swallow as well. There are too many stories of people falling in love, really truly, deeply in love, then losing their mate and later finding another who is just as wonderful as the first. So which was the soulmate?
