How to Know You’ve Met Your Soulmate? 16 Clear Signs They Are the One
Are you now in the happiest relationship of your life? Everything seems to be working great. You rarely argue, your partner is emotionally mature and available, and you’re genuinely so happy you don’t even remember the last time you felt so euphoric around someone.
If this is your case, you probably wonder whether you found ‘the one.’ Understanding whether the person you’re dating is just a fling or if he has the potential to become a long-term partner is crucial to avoid wasting your time. Here are 16 signs telling you you’ve found your soulmate.
You’ve Found Your Best Friend
Ok, ok, ok, let’s not piss off all best friends out there. Of course, your partner cannot replace the people you’ve known since childhood. But! If you have found another best friend, then there is a good chance your story will last through time.
Respect Is At The Base Of Your Relationship
Do you know what else should be at the base of your relationship? Respect. This may at first be puzzling for those who have experienced physical or psychological abuse in the past, but it is crucial for long-term success. Never shout at each other, respect each other’s opinions, even when different from your own, and never take each other for granted.
Your Friends Approve
Your friends are the people that know you best in the world. You’ve probably known each other for years, and they’ve seen you go through plenty of other romantic relationships. Trust their judgment. They surely know what’s best for you. If none of them approve of your current partner, you may want to reconsider your relationship.
You Can Talk About Everything
A great sign you’re on the right track is whether or not you feel comfortable sharing every aspect of your life, from your fears to your past and dreams. Being able to talk about everything without fear of being judged should be at the base of every healthy relationship.
You Know His Flaws
Do you think your partner is perfect? You cannot mention a single flaw? Then, it’s probably too early for you to judge whether this will last forever. We all have negative sides. Wait to find out your partner’s ones and see if you can accept them and live with them.
You’re Fully Comfortable
Finding your soul mate often feels like finally getting home after a long trip. It’s about being fully comfortable and able to be your true self without any sort of filter—a bit like being with one of your best friends, as we mentioned earlier.
You Share The Same Values
Of course, you and your partner don’t have to agree on everything. But you should be on the same page regarding fundamental values. These may include religious beliefs, your relationship type – for instance, whether you are into monogamy or polyamory – and political views.
You Inspire Each Other to Grow
You have truly found your soulmate if your partner encourages you to try new things. They believe in you and always push you to become the best version of yourself. Such a kind of faith isn’t easily found in every relationship, so if your partner inspires you to grow, cherish them and never let them go.
You Share The Same Goals
Similarly to your values, sharing the same goals is essential for long-term success. Do you both want to have kids? Do you want to live in the same country? Do you both want to get married? Discuss all these points before fully committing.
You Are Willing To Fight For It
When relationships are not working, we subconsciously don’t want to fight for them. On the other hand, when we know that we’ve found ‘the right one,’ we often tend to go that extra mile, sometimes even literally. For instance, you may be happy to drive hours every weekend to meet them.
You Feel Safe
Feeling safe is non-negotiable when it comes to romantic relationships. Are you 100% sure your partner will never be violent with you? That he will protect you in case of danger? Is your mental and physical well-being a priority for him?
You Feel Like You’ve Known Them Forever
If you get the feeling you’ve known each other for years, even though you only met a few months ago, you may have finally found your soul mate. For instance, you may feel incredibly at ease with him even though this rarely happens to you, or you may share information you seldom disclose.
You Like Their Friends
Your partner’s best friends say a lot about him. They don’t necessarily have to become your best friends, but you surely need to like them. Do you think they are genuinely good people? Do you think you can trust them? Do they seem to care about your partner and yourself?
You Know How To Argue
Many people think that a lack of fights is a good sign. The truth, however, is that in the long run, you will surely have to deal with disagreements and conflicts. Whenever this happens, pay attention to how your partner handles them. Is he willing to apologize whenever he says something bad? Can he maintain his control? Is he talking about his emotions rather than accusing you?
You Enjoy Silent Time Together
When you’re with your soulmate, even the quiet moments feel right. You don’t need to fill every pause with words because just being together is more than enough. That comfortable silence says a lot about how deeply connected you are. It’s a sign that you’re completely content just being in each other’s company, no matter what’s going on.
You Are Both Emotionally Available
Here is another important factor to consider. Are you both emotionally available? You may have found the perfect man, but it will end badly if he’s still thinking about his ex. The same goes for you. Are you ready to commit? Are you ready to marry, share a house, and level up your relationship, or is something holding you back?

These were a few signs you’ve finally found your soulmate—we hope this was your case! If you think you’re on the right path, why not celebrate your love with a movie night? Here are a few outfits that will surely impress him.
