I feel like "the one" is a bit of an idealized concept. The truth is there are many people out there who would be perfectly compatible for you. And I don't think a soul mate necessarily means someone you're going to be with forever, simply someone who was "meant" to be in your life for whatever period of time... the people who've taught you the most, the relationships that really helped you grow... I've had and lost two such relationships in my life already.
You can love two people at one time, or 3, or 4... that's why polyamory exists as a lifestyle choice. There are different kinds of love too... I love my friends, in a different than romantic way... I have a great love for humanity which is very different from both of those. Love is fluid, subjective, and hard to explain. It's best to just take it for what it is rather than question it too much; love is not an entirely rational emotion and to overthink it would diminish it.
Is it normal to question "Love"?
