12 Signs That You’ve Met Your Soulmate

1. That Crucial Connection!

Image Source / redditA lot of people say that if you're with the right person, the first date/first interaction should never be nerve-wracking or awkward, but will instead flow naturally as though you've known each other for years. If you have an instant connection with this person that felt like you were talking to an old friend, that's a soulmate sign.

2. Honesty Is The Best Policy

Image Source / RedditWhen you're looking for love, often little white lies can happen when you're trying to impress them or maybe feel embarrassed about revealing certain things about yourself too soon, like your army of stuffed toys. But if you've felt like there hasn't been a single thing you've needed to keep from this person from the get-go, it's soulmate material.

3. They Encourage You To Be Your Best Self

Image Source / RedditWe always want someone to support us in being ourselves, but it's one step further when they actually do everything they can to encourage you to be the person you want to be. It's always great to find a partner who challenges you to be better, too - in a supportive way, and not a toxic one!

4. The Chemistry Is Off The Charts

Image Source / Complete University GuideThis doesn't just mean physical chemistry - which is of course important - but also chemistry on every level, including emotional or psychological. You connect with this person on every single level in an electric way, and there is attraction with every aspect between the two of you.

5. You Can Be Yourself Around Them

Image Source / RedditThis one's such an important one, because that's when you know you love someone - when you can be your true self without feeling self-conscious. They accept you for who you are, and you never feel like you have to hold anything back, or that you're being judged for any aspect of yourself.

6. You Miss Them So Much It Hurts

Image Source / InsiderYou can tell a lot about whether someone is the right one based on how you feel when they're not there. If you miss them so much it hurts, the second they're gone, it's a sign you're meant to be together. You might still feel this way even if you spent 24 hours a day together and they're only gone for a minute or two.

7. You Feel Deliriously Happy

Image Source / RedditThis doesn't just mean in reference to being with them, but your mood in general. Maybe before you met them you felt a little lost, or wouldn't say that you were particularly happy, only to now feel like something has finally clicked into place now that you have them in your life.

8. They Know You Better Than You Know Yourself

Image Source / RedditA soulmate is going to know you very, very well - inside and out. They may even know you better than you know yourself. They know who you are as a person, what you like, what you don't like, and they love you for it. They can take cues without having to ask about your moods, or answers to questions they don't need to ask - because they just know!

9. They're The Only One Who Can Calm You Down

Image Source / Know Your MemeWhen you're having a very bad day or feeling angry or upset, they're the only person who can make you feel better, and know how to deal with you when you're like that.

10. You Have The Best Time Even Doing Nothing At All

Image Source / RedditIt's easy to have fun as a couple when you make huge plans, like going to a party or hitting a funfair.

If you can have fun with them even doing something simple or mundane, you may have found your soulmate.

11. Being In Their Presence Is Instant Relief

Image Source / RedditIt doesn't matter where you've been, what you've been doing, how bad your day has been or how stressed you're feeling, the minute you see them again or go home to them, it's instant relief and your bad mood is gone. You feel instantly comfortable and at home in their presence, the moment you see them.

12. You Have A Silent Bond

Image Source / University Of CambridgeYou don't even need to say anything out loud to have a conversation with them - you have a silent bond of communication which means you know what they're thinking or feeling even without them having to tell you. If you're in a group, other people may not understand the obvious bond you have when you seem to be silently communicating.

13. You Don't Pay Attention To Anyone Else

Image Source / RedditIt's natural to still notice attractive people even when you're happy in love, but if you find yourself absolutely wrapped up in this person and don't think that there is anyone more attractive than them in the whole, wide world, it's a sign they're the one. Deep down you know you've met the one, so you've shut yourself off from noticing anyone else.

14. You Feel What They Feel

Image Source / RedditIt's as though you're always on the same wavelength, affecting each other's thoughts and feelings. If they're sad, you're sad, too. If they're happy, you're happy too.

15. They Will Be Your Biggest Cheerleader

Image Source / RedditNo matter what you want to achieve in life, whether it's small everyday goals or huge dreams about your career or hobbies, they will be on the front row cheering you on.

16. Their 'Quirks' Make You Smile

Image Source / RedditFor a lot of couples, things that seemed quirky and cute in the early days can easily become an annoyance later on, like their loud laugh or their habits around the home.

17. You Feel Safe With Them

Image Source / RedditWhether this is physically safe or safe in the knowledge of your future together (or both), you feel at ease whenever you with them. You just know that no matter what, it's going to be okay and you have no fear about anything when you're with them. You feel protected by them.

18. You Make The Perfect Team

Image Source / RedditWhen you're with the right person, the two of you will be unstoppable. You'll make the perfect team because you balance each other out - their weaknesses are your strengths, and vice versa. You complement each other completely, which means you're the ideal match.

19. There's Nothing You Have Doubts About

Image Source / HealthlineInsecure or toxic relationships can leave one or both of you riddled with doubt, distrust and constantly wondering what the other is doing, or who with.

20. You Can Be Vulnerable Around Them

Image Source / PinterestYou can comfortably show your most vulnerable, or worst side with them and they won't love you any less.

21. The Relationship Is Just Easy

Image Source / RedditThis doesn't mean you never argue or fall out - what matters more is how you deal with it.

Even when you have disagreements, it's always easy to come to a solution or work through it.

22. You Have Complete Respect For Each Other

Image Source / RedditLoving someone isn't about only ever telling them what they want to hear, never disagreeing with them or having everything in common. What it should be about is absolute respect. You have to have respect for each other, otherwise you don't have much. So if you have complete respect for each other, it's a soulmate sign.

23. You Can't Seem To Remember Anything Bad Anymore

Image Source / Bored PandaIt's like when they came into your life, they transformed the way you think of the past, and you even struggle to think of life before them.

24. They're Your Best Friend

Image Source / RedditThis one might seem like a cliché, but it's so important, and many people underestimate why romantic relationships should be built on friendship first.

25. You Want To Do Better - Because Of Them

26. You're Not Insecure When You're Apart

27. There's No Jealousy Whatsoever

Image Source / CosmopolitanIf there's trust in a relationship, there shouldn't be much room left for jealousy - and when you're with the right person, neither of you should be jealous and insecure.

28. You Both Know How To Work Through Your Problems

29. They're Your Priority - More Than Yourself
