#3 Know what makes you feel loved. Feeling loved is something that should come naturally when you found your soulmate. Tune in to what makes you feel loved so you know when those feelings start to appear.

#5 Know your values. We all have different values and things we hold dear. As well as things we find unacceptable. Be clear on your values from the outset. Make sure you find someone who shares those values.

#6 Have the big conversations as early as possible. Marriage? Kids? Traveling? Settling down? Pets? You don’t have to ask the person you just met to move in with you after the first date, but trying to establish where they stand on the big things early on saves getting too far down the road and ending up disappointed.

#7 Write down the things you look for in your ideal partner. Really spend some time thinking what you want from a soulmate. Write these qualities down and reflect on them when you meet someone with potential.

#8 Know your faults. Remember you are not perfect. Your soulmate will accept your flaws, but also you need to be willing to work on yourself too. [Read: How to learn to be comfortable with yourself]

#10 Search in the right places. There are some places where you are more likely to meet likeminded people compatible with you. Go to these places, make conversation, and see where it takes you.

#11 Know the warning signs that things aren’t going well. If you are serious about finding a soulmate, let relationships go that aren’t working. It is easy to be blinded by the passion and excitement of a new relationship. Instead, try to be aware of the warning signs that things aren’t quite what they seem so you don’t waste valuable time.

#12 Pay attention to chemistry. Chemistry and spark are important in any relationship, especially if you’re trying to figure out how to find your soulmate. Do you feel chemistry with this person? [Read: How to tell if there’s serious chemistry between two people]

#15 Understand what makes a good, successful relationship. Relationships take work whether with your soulmate or not. So, make sure you work at yours.

#17 Get to know someone quickly. When you start dating a new person, make sure you ask lots of questions and get to know them as well as possible ASAP.

#18 Try to be dispassionate at the beginning. Sometimes it’s good to step back and look at your relationship or this person more objectively. Don’t get carried away in the romance of a new relationship without looking at the core things to make that relationship work.

#23 Be friendly. Remember to be open, friendly, and smile. You are more likely to catch someone’s eye and strike up a conversation with someone if you do.

#24 Go through something challenging together. A challenge is the perfect way to test whether someone truly is your soulmate or not.
