1. Is there one person out there meant for you (soulmate) or an endless combination of suitable choices?
Multiple. Who you are, what you think/believe/do changes over time. So your "perfect match", rather than assume one person went through the same changes/ideas as you, would have to a number of people.
2. If soulmates did exist, what do you think the odds would be of actually finding them?
I can't math
3. How long after a breakup/divorce is it acceptable to start dating again?
Half the time you were dating is a good rule of thumb. It works for me. As for marriage, that's a circumstance I have no idea how to recover from, though I imagine the recuperation period should be much longer.
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?
Which person? The person you just finished dating, or the one you want to date?
As for the person you just finished dating, maybe you were over the relationship/person before actually terminating the relationship. Maybe you did not form a strong attachment or bond with the first person.
5. How would you describe your romantic feelings; soft puddy or steel?
For those I love, pudding that has steel when needed in tough-love situations.
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.
Most boyfriends, a 5 or a 6. But the current one was one of my best friends for five years before we started dating, so he knows me inside and out without even any discussion of my openness. But I'd say a solid 7.5 or 8.
7. Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "If couples really knew what the other person was thinking, there would be no couples."
If there was 100% disclosure 100% of the time... sure. But we'd have no friends too.
8. On a scale of 1-10, rate the importance of sex in a relationship.
10
what? I'm 23
9. Do you always remember the first person you loved?
Yes. Seared by flame into my memory.
10. When it comes to the end of a relationship; is it better to burn out or fade away?
Burn out.
