It Wouldn’t Cost You Your Soul To Be More Romantic
Boyfriend/Girlfriend, England, Extra Stupid, Love/Romance, Outdoors, Sheffield, UK | Romantic | November 28, 2017
(My girlfriend and I are on a romantic walk, and we stop to sit near a pleasant stream and make deep and meaningful conversation. She is saying how she feels about me and she wants to know how I feel in return.)
Girlfriend: “I believe in soulmates. I don’t think there is anyone else who could make me feel like you do. We get on so well together, and I really can’t imagine being with anyone else. I’m so glad we met. Do you think we are soulmates? What would have happened if we’d never met?”
(I am the most unromantic, but honest, idiot.)
Me: “Well, I think I probably would have got with someone else if I hadn’t met you. There’s so many girls in the world; I’m sure I would have found someone else to get on really well with. I don’t think there is such a thing as a soulmate. I just believe we meet people, and if we fancy them, we get on, and eventually we adapt our personalities to get on with each other and on it goes.”
(Eighteen years of marriage later, I suspect she may have been more right about this than I was!)
