Have you ever had such trouble? When you are with someone, sometime, you have this question in your head that you can't get it off. Is he/she the one? Or just a hookup partner? If you have such trouble, here are some check list for you to find out.
You agree on the important matters. You can never reach an agreement on subjects like what to eat, what television to watch or what ingredients to put on a pizza. But on subjects that matters in life, you can totally agree with each other.
You have same life goals.
Speaking of important matters, you must have similar life goals. I'm not saying you should go to the same college or choose the same major. It's matters like whether you are going to have children and where you are going to live, etc. Obviously, there will be disagreement, but you can always reach an agreement in the end. This is a nice indicator to predict whether this is the one. Even hook up relationship can't be that easy.
You are each other's inspiration and motivation.
Your soulmate should stimulate the best part of you, which means with him/her by your side, you can be the best. You should admire and respect your lover for being who they are. On the other hand, you should also be their inspiration when they need a little drive to help bringing out the best of them. The important thing is when you are together, you should grow better together instead of indulging yourselves and going down in your life. A healthy relationship is about development and improvement. Soulmates help each other to be better.
You can totally be yourself.
When it comes to soulmate, there shouldn't be anything that need to be pretended. When they are there for you, you can be yourself and you know that they will still love you no matter how you look like. You can share your guilt, happiness, your little pet-pives and your deepest secret. You'll know it will only make them love you more. If the person can't be supportive, maybe things between you two just hookup dating.
You are trying to make this relationship work.
Relationship isn't always easy, even between two soulmates, but you should both be working hard for this relationship. This usually comes with compromise, communication, fighting, etc. Sometimes it has become a serious issue so that it needs to be solved by a shrink or some other ways. But you are willing to go that road in order to get it straight out. All in all, you are okay with taking certain measures to make it work.
You can understand each other's emotional language.
Even though how often they say communication is the key, sometimes, words are not the only way of communication. You should have a grander understanding of communication. It can be an expression, an action or sometimes, it can be an atmosphere and chemical reaction between you. For example, what's the expression of your partner when she feels a little insecure of your love. This is when you should express your love by words or action.
