If you were able to set up some measures of what it means to "get along" or "be compatible" with someone, then I think it stands to reason that there is someone out there that will fulfill those metrics more than anyone else can. That said, as you change, grow, mature, digress etc they may not be #1 anymore. But I do think it's possible that someone out there exists that is the most compatible for you at a given time. I think chasing this idea is dangerous because it's not quantifiable. forwardslash's mother is right, 'you don't find your soulmate, you become someone's soulmate." -Great words of wisdom Mrs. /

A piece of wisdom from me to anybody that is searching: When you are dating someone and it's at the beginning, if there is anything about that person that bothers you or gets your goat, just know that this will not subside, it will likely only magnify. If you can see yourself being okay with the magnification, then stick with it. Otherwise, bail. I see too many people stick in bad relationships that had clear-cut warning signs at the outset. -Especially when these things revolve around values.
