Hm. I wouldn't call myself an expert. Here are my answers, for what they're worth. - Edit 2

1. Is there one person out there meant for you (soulmate) or an endless combination of suitable choices?

Somewhere in between. My mom always told me that I'd fall in love many times, and that I might even find more than one I'd be willing to spend the rest of my life with. In regards to marriage or spending my life with someone, she told me to find someone I love, that I could stand being with for the rest of my life, that I respected, that treated me well, that had similar worldviews, etc. Not just a compatible person that I have good sex with.

2. If soulmates did exist, what do you think the odds would be of actually finding them?

I don't think a true soul mate exists. I think that that a person you choose to spend the rest of your life with can become your soul mate if both parties invest enough in the relationship. You can become someone's soul mate if the conditions are right, and they can become yours. The bit where you "lock eyes and know" might work for a really awesome 3 months or a couple of years, or the rest of your lives. For me, it's too risky to rely on.

3. How long after a breakup/divorce is it acceptable to start dating again?
Meh. Right away. You broke up for a reason. Move on.

4. If you come out of a long-term relationship wanting to date right away, what do you think that means in regards to your feelings for that person?
Like I said, you bhroke up for a reason.

5. How would you describe your romantic feelings; soft puddy or steel?
You mean putty? a mixture of both. I fall in love very easily. I'm just very wary of it.

6. In relation to the question above, describe your openness to your partner on a scale of 1-10. One being a closed book and 10 being open as a flower towards the sun.
after 8 years of marriage, a 9.

7. Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "If couples really knew what the other person was thinking, there would be no couples."
Disagree. If you really disagree that much with someone, you should be with someone else.

8. On a scale of 1-10, rate the importance of sex in a relationship.
8.

9. Do you always remember the first person you loved?
um.. Yeah, I guess so. But wait! In thinking about this I realize that the first person I thought of was the first one who loved me back. This was not the actual first person I "loved". Because you know... I was 14 and thought I loved him but, I had no freakin idea what love was then.

10. When it comes to the end of a relationship; is it better to burn out or fade away?
what do you mean burn out? Be scornful, bitter, and/or vengeful? What is the purpose in that? I would say 'fade away'. In the wonderful words of Motley Crue, "Girl, don't go away mad... Girl just go away."
