Do You Believe In Soul Mates? Stories Of Finding Love
By Brittany Galla, Life2PointOh.com
The existence of a soul mate has been explored in countless dating books, chick flicks and endless Taylor Swift songs (hang in there, girlfriend!). While no one can scientifically prove that soul mates exist, there are certain couples who define the mold. Here, Life2PointOh asks happily married women ages 28 to 89 how they unpredictably met their other half-proving that when it comes to love, fate just may be playing a hand.
Ashley, 28, married for five years:
"I met my soul mate, Chris, nine years ago and married him five years ago. I was a freshman in college staking out all the older hotties in the cafeteria with my roommates one day, when I saw this guy walk in. Right then and there I told my friends, 'That is the guy I'm going to marry one day.' My roommates, Maggie and Amy, chuckled while Ariel rolled her eyes. I sighed…if only life was that simple, I thought. For the next couple of days, being the stalker I am, I deliberately had run-in's with him: In the elevator, between classes, at the gym…I just wanted this guy to notice me.
Well, he did. Halleluja! Hector, a mutual friend of ours (whom I didn't realize was so chummy with Chris) showed up at my room one night telling me his friend wanted to meet me. I didn't know who the friend was, but I thought, 'Why not? Tell him to stop by whenever.'
Less than 24 hours later, my life changed forever. There was a knock at my door and I opened it, only to see my crush standing on the other side. A million thoughts ran into my head: 'OMG why is he here? Did he catch me spying on him? He's sooo much hotter up close. My breathe, does it smell? My outfit! Ugh why am I wearing this ugly outfit!' If he could have heard all the thoughts, he would have ran for his life.
'Umm, hi. Can I help you with something?' I asked. He smiled. The perfect smile that I would later wake up every morning to, and that same smile that came out when he saw our baby for the first time.
'I'm Chris,' he said. 'Hector's friend…are you interested in doing something tonight?' The rest is history.
Jessica, 30, married for six years:
"I was driving to work one day, blasting out to a Nelly Furtado song when a car ahead of me slammed on the breaks. I quickly did the same, but the car behind me wasn't as fast-he bumped right into me. Ugh, I thought! I was late to work and the last thing I wanted was this. I got out of the car to see the damage, and I noticed, despite what a bad driver he was, he was actually pretty cute. My car was fine, and he kept apologizing. I said it wasn't a big deal, and we both exchanged insurance card info. I was ready to drive away when he asked for my number, telling me maybe dinner would make up for him not paying attention on the road. I said sure, and joked that I should drive on the first date. Our first date was unforgettable-we clicked right away. He's my best friend, and if he never crashed into me, we might not have ever met."
