If you've had a hard time dating, it's normal to feel tired and disappointed. After a few relationships that went nowhere, you may wonder, "Will I ever find my soulmate?"

The idea of ??a “soulmate” can seem daunting, especially when you’re dating. When you’re not finding the right person, it seems almost impossible to believe that there’s someone out there who’s a perfect match for your heart and soul. But the facts show that people find their soulmate every day. So how can you become one of the lucky ones?

Relationship experts Deni Abbie, Melanie McGrath, Lewis Brown Griggs and the late Helen Fisher gave some valuable advice for those looking for true love.

Here are 4 things you should do if you are serious about finding your soulmate:

You need to know what you want.

Often, when we start a new relationship, we tend to let our emotions take over. That initial excitement is so powerful that it makes us forget about the more important questions: "Is this the type of person I want?" or "What do I want from my partner?"

To find the right person, you need to know what's most important to you and what you're really looking for in a soulmate. Without these answers, you'll waste time getting caught up in relationships that lead nowhere.

You must be actively seeking.

Studies show that only 16% of single people are actually looking for someone. Most are just waiting for the right person to show up or looking in their close social circle. So to increase your chances, just start looking. This step alone puts you over 80% of what most singles do.

Look beyond the surface

Physical details are important, but true love requires more than a momentary attraction. What matters over time is personality. A soulmate loves a person both inside and out.

Be open-minded.

While it's important to know what you're looking for, don't be surprised by surprises. Just because someone doesn't meet your criteria 100% doesn't mean you can't fall in love with them. The emotional value should be essential, but more superficial details like tattoos, career, or music preferences can be flexible.
