Given that you have 500,000,000 potential soul mates, it means you'll only find true love in one lifetime out of 10,000.” You'll only find true love in one lifetime out of 10,000. One lifetime out of 10,000. Apparently when it comes to love, the odds are in no one's favor.

If the prospects of finding one, single person out of the billions who walk this earth to be the Ross to your Rachel sounds daunting, that’s because it is. In his new book What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions , former NASA roboticist and creator of the popular webcomic xkcd Randall Munroe tries to answer the age-old question that’s been haunting hopeless romantics since the beginning of time: “What if everyone actually had only one soul mate, a random person somewhere in the world?”

The good news is you might be better off without a soul mate anyway. Some research shows that the idea of being soul mates can actually hurt relationships. In one study published by the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, couples were split into two groups; one was exposed to terms like “made for each other” and “we are one,” while the other group was given phrases like “look how far we've come,” implying love is more a journey than it is mandated by destiny. Participants were then asked to write down either two good memories or two bad memories and to rank their overall relationship satisfaction. Couples in the “journey” group had, as a whole, more positive responses than those who were conditioned to think of love in terms of finding your soul mate. And if you think about it, this kind of makes sense. As New York Magazine’s “Science of Us” blog reported this summer, people who believe they are the perfect match for each other are more likely to be upset when parts of the relationship (inevitably) become imperfect. People who believe they are "meant to be" can be in for a rocky reality check when the first sign of conflict threatens to suggest otherwise. So what do all of these numbers mean? Are we all romantically doomed from the start? Is there even a point in trying if finding our soul mate is not only next to impossible, but also ill advised? Is love just one huge waste of time?! I say we all relax. Falling in love is not a science — it's kind of just a thing we humans have to deal with, and it's usually pretty great, regardless of whether or not we've found The One.
