Can a soulmate trigger you?

Soulmates can make you feel like the world is your oyster, AND they can trigger the hell out of you. But rest assured, all this "triggering" is designed for your growth. Relationships mirror back to us how we feel about ourselves -- and, let's face it, sometimes that's not so pretty.

The traditional perception of a soulmate is someone who will "sweep you off your feet, bring you everlasting love and happiness, and solve all your problems so that you'll never feel lonely, upset or angry again." Society (and Hollywood) has led us to believe that we all have someone out there who will "complete us" -- implying that we couldn't possibly be whole all by ourselves. According to this theory your soulmate would never trigger you, piss you off, annoy you or, God forbid, disagree with you... right?

Not necessarily... In fact, the more your mate drives you nuts, the better chance they are your soulmate. Soulmates come in many forms. They can be a sister, a spouse, or even a best friend. And underneath the connection, the unconditional love and support that you feel, lurks something that you may not expect: a TEACHER. Surprise! A true soulmate is someone who is in your life to teach you. Soulmates can make you feel like the world is your oyster, AND they can trigger the hell out of you. But rest assured, all this "triggering" is designed for your growth. Relationships mirror back to us how we feel about ourselves -- and, let's face it, sometimes that's not so pretty. Hey, don't blame me. I'm just the messenger. I didn't set this whole thing up. In fact, YOU did! Before you came to Earth, YOU decided what lessons your soul needed to learn and how you were going to learn these lessons. What we've been conditioned to expect out of a soulmate relationship has set us up for disappointment. Sorry, ladies, but Prince Charming does not exist. Or as my mom so wisely put it: If you expect him to ride up on a white horse, you might want to make sure he OWNS a white horse to ride up on. Now, how many men do you know who fit into this category? Personally, I don't know any. So throw the notion of being saved out the window. It's not going to happen. Don't worry. I'm not claiming that every relationship has to be a challenging, difficult mess. What I'm saying is that every relationship is meant to teach us something about ourselves. They are ALL meant to assist us in our growth. And, who knows, maybe your lesson in this lifetime is to have more fun. If it is, lucky you! I won't call you a slacker -- at least not to your face. In fact, I think I'll take the slacker route next lifetime. I'm exhausted!

How many seconds of eye contact does it take to fall in love?

Only if you have got 8.2 secs' appeal, say researchers. A new study has found that the time needed for a man to fall in love at first sight is 8.2 seconds -- in fact, the longer a man's gaze rests on a woman when they meet for the first time, the more interested he is.

LONDON: Love at first sight? Only if you have got 8.2 secs' appeal, say researchers. A new study has found that the time needed for a man to fall in love at first sight is 8.2 seconds -- in fact, the longer a man's gaze rests on a woman when they meet for the first time, the more interested he is. And, if it lasts just four seconds, he may not be all that impressed. But if can break the 8.2 second barrier, he could already be in love, it has found. However, the same is not true for women. They let their eyes linger on men for the same length of time whether they find them attractive or not, leading British newspaper 'The Daily Telegraph' reported. According to the researchers, men use eye contact to seek out fit and fertile mates but women are more wary of attracting unwanted attention because of the risks of unwanted pregnancy and single parenthood. In their study, the researchers used hidden cameras to secretly track the eye movements of 115 students as they spoke to actors and actresses. They were then asked to rate their conversation partner's attractiveness. The men looked into the eyes of actresses they considered beautiful for an average of 8.2 seconds, but that dropped to 4.5 seconds when gazing at those they rated less attractive, the study found. The female students, however, were looking at the actors for the same length of time, found the study published in the latest edition of the 'Archives of Sexual Behaviour' journal.
