As I wade through the profiles of various men on dating apps, reading the words they chose (or in some cases, didn’t choose) to try to persuade women to connect with them, I look for some specific things.

Not specific words, no. Nor am I looking for a muscular body or a handsome face — though they are nice bonuses if they’re there. No, what I look for is something I rarely find but always respond to: a feeling of possible connection.

It’s a vibe that comes from the way they’ve put their words together, the images they’ve chosen to represent their physicality, and the drop-down selections they’ve made when given a handful of pre-chosen options. This vibe says “I’m looking for something real. I’m real. And I hope you are too.”

I say I rarely find it because all too often, I find profiles that are obviously fake and written by scammers who would tell me they’re on a peacekeeping mission in Africa in the military or some other equally ridiculous lie. Second to those are the profiles of those men who are looking purely for physical relationships. Which is fine — they’re entitled to make that choice. And I can’t deny that, on occasion, one has been attractive enough to make me contemplate the advantages of something short-term, no strings, and purely for fun.

But ultimately, I am looking for my soul mate. And because that’s what I’m looking for, I look — or rather, feel — for that vibe when I look at profiles. And when I feel that vibe, I swipe right and send a message.

But what happens next? What determines whether that vibe actually leads to finding a soul mate or just finding someone who is nice and kind but not really meant for me?

How do you know if you’ve found your soul mate? Take notice when these signs happen. As your relationship with your soul mate flourishes, grows, and deepens, you’ll discover joys beyond comparison!
