[QUOTE="DenizenJane, post: 1352669, member: 19007"] I will tell you this... there's probably no such thing as soul mates, but there's plenty of matches made in hell that were never meant to work out. Think of some of the aristocratic daughter-dealing that they used to do in Europe. Some of them went fine, some of them it took the mother hinting at the murder of some bloke her daughter actually liked so they could proceed with the wedding of prince Whocares of Whateversbury. My point isn't that casual dating is the way to go, its that thrusting any two people together to the point of a sham marriage is pretty insulting to the whole institution. Matchmaking as a conversation is practically a taboo topic these days. But the rare times when you do hear people discuss it, they get all giddy- its weird. Maybe this classifies as gossip. I don't know. I think you get a happy feeling talking about it because it was designed to be that way. You won't be making 'soul mates', but you might help prod a some of the unmated along. [/QUOTE]
