I am looking for something nonfiction that is a discussion of whether soul mates exist, since I thought I'd found mine but we're no longer together. I am wondering how I'll know when the right person comes along, and how I'll know I'm ready for that person. I have a date with someone for this weekend and so far it's been going great and has felt just about as natural as it has in the past for people I ended up dating seriously.
But my anxiety is kicking in. I want to find my person, and I've grown a lot over the past year. But how can I know I'm ready for something real, and if what I think is something real is THE One? For reference, I'm 25M and have had a handful of serious girlfriends through life. I have often struggled with knowing whether the people I want to date are a good match for me and frequently morph myself (unintentionally) into a version of myself that I think the other person wants me to be. Like I said, I've grown a lot over the last year and have become aware of my doing this, but I'm scared of repeating myself over and over.
So maybe my situation touches on a lot more than the soul mates matter, but these are the things on my mind. If you think there are good books for my situation, please let me know. Thanks everyone in advance.
