Reply To: Soul Mates and True Loves, Similarities, Differences, and what does it all mean.

I also have to note & point out (as I’m not sure it has been yet), that they said SM = when “someone thinks there is only one person for them”. Not that “There is actually only one person for someone”.
So I guess in that respect, what they are saying is TLs & SMs aren’t really “different” as such, it’s that people view them differently?

We mostly are in agreement. I think in popular culture people use the terms SM and TL interchangeably, but where I disagree is with Eddy’s entire definition of what a SM is. The one thing I would counter is that Eddy did not say he thinks a SM is when there is only one perfect match; what he actually said was:

Kitsis and Horowitz also clarified the difference between what a true love is versus what a soulmate is on the show. “True love is when you truly love somebody,” Kitsis said. “Soulmate is the idea that there’s only one person for you.”
