Meeting a soul mate

I met my soul mate.

Ok... It’s not true...
I met a person who my friend thinks he could be my soul mate :P

Well, my friend Rachel likes to match make people.
Although, .... her success rate in matchmaking is so far 0% :P
Also, she doesn’t really like my ex-boyfriend nor anybody who I was interested in the past (well, the number of people I was interested in is very small because it’s hard for me to find/meet someone I like .. :-{ ..) and she thinks I have strange taste in men... :@ So, you see how the result goes.

Anyway, she usually tells me something like “he is nice. You would like him...”, but this time, she was more excited and telling me “I really believe he will be your soul mate!! You should see him!”
Haha... but again, I know how it goes, so I wasn’t expecting anything, but I was more curious to see what kind of person he will be. It’s kind of interesting to see a person who my friend thinks could be my soul mate. That will tell a bit about how my friend sees me.

So.... what kind of person was he...?

He was a very very nice person -- a long-haired hippy artist type. Smart and gentle :)
Yes, I like hippies.. I like artists..
... but...no... he wasn’t my soul mate :-{

I tried to think “why not” ..... and this is more general thinking and nothing specific to this person that I met ;)
I guess I like a flexible person who doesn’t fit in one category.
It’s a bit hard to explain, but... if I could easily put somebody in one category, then, that person is probably too much for me... For example, if I meet someone who looks like a hippy and if this person acts, talks, thinks like a hippy person that I kind of predict, then... I feel this person may not be so flexible. I can’t imagine this person will accept different ideas, values, a way of thinking, or even a type of food he/she eats, if those things are out of the category he/she is in. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s the feeling I get.
I like a kind of person who likes organic food but also can go to McDonald’s and eat french fries with me. :P I don’t know if this is a good example, but basically someone who can try different things.

Well, I guess being flexible is probably not a hard criteria. There are a lot of flexible people out there...
But I also like nerdy type of people who have their opinions and policies on certain things and this may a bit contradict with “flexibility” :P
Hmm.. I guess it just needs a balance...

Well, my soul mate searching will be continued...
I don’t know how other people could find their soul mates... How could you :-? ....
