On one hand, we have more ways to communicate now - sms, yahoo messages, email, internet dating & satellite phones. On the other hand, many people are isolated, alone, depression is higher & marriages are breaking down.
I feel the search for a soul mate holds us back from enjoying the present. That is, we just become picky & say "no" to everyone. Many people who want it all, just end up with nothing. Secondly, I feel it is a scarey expectation for a girl to expect me to complete her, make her happy 100% of the time, etc. In reality, nobody is going to rescue you, or complete you - you have to do this for yourself.
Perhaps we were better off 100 years ago when nobody knew about soulmates & the local girl would marry the boy down the street?
