7 Ways Tell If Someone Is Soulmate Material In The First 5 Minutes Of Meeting Them
By Rachel Davis
Isn't it the best when you can be your *true self* around someone? Well, when you meet someone who's soulmate material, part of why you may feel such an instant connection with them is because you immediately feel comfortable with them — and you can't explain it. Shlomo Zalman Bregman, Rabbi and matchmaker, says making a soulmate-level connection may take more than five minutes, but there is one thing you can look out for in the first five minutes of meeting someone. "You can be yourself — your most honest, 'real' self," he tells Bustle.
"Whereas many people go through life holding back major pieces of themselves from everyone else, and only sharing what they want seen — when you find your proper partner, they really can 'see' you," Rabbi Bregman says. "Moreover, you will feel comfortable to be yourself and feel accepted and loved, without any pretense. This backdrop creates a precious opportunity to have truly honest communication and to share love, fears, and hopes without judgment. If you feel unusually comfortable with someone as soon as you meet them, it certainly bodes well for the future, and may indeed by a sign that you've just met 'the one.'"
Whether you believe in soulmates or not, the above tips from relationship experts can at least let you know if someone has potential to be a good match for you right when you meet them. Then, as some of the experts advise, as time goes by, you can see if someone is truly your soulmate and if your relationship is built to last.
