What Is A Platonic Soulmate?
When you find your platonic soulmate, you’ll discover a friendship so deep that it transcends comprehension. It’s as if your souls met before in a past life and were destined to reunite, yet there is no romantic element to your relationship.
Platonic Soulmate Examples
Platonic soulmates exist all over the world. They could have been best buddies since meeting at school. They could have been two adults that crossed paths in a bizarre situation. It could be a 65 year-old woman and a 20-year-old man who work together at a supermarket. These are all distinct possibilities, but the connection and desire to remain in each other’s lives are the same regardless.
Platonic Soulmate Opposite Gender
It’s absolutely possible that platonic soulmates could be the opposite gender, or indeed the same gender.
Platonic Soulmate Best Friend
Many will refer to each other as a ‘best friend’, but in reality the connection is much stronger than this term suggests. You can be friends without being platonic soulmates.

They’re the go-to person you want to hang out with, and you miss them when they’re gone.

This is an unfortunate side-effect of a soulmate connection. You can often feel their pain as deeply as if the unfortunate incident has occurred to you.
