What is the statistical probability of finding a soulmate?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) September 22nd, 2016

Take the amount of people in the world, if your soulmate is supposed to be the one to complement you as peas are to carrots, ham is to eggs, peanut butter is to jelly, etc. the chance that your soulmate will just happen to be born in the nation you were born, then even greater to be in the same region, even the same town, and of all the people there, cross paths with you that you get to know them, what would the statistical probability of that be, would it be like 1 in umpteenth thousands (millions)? If a person finds a soulmate, would it be more statistically probable that each person as X amounts of soulmates even if 98.9% they will never meet? What if you moved or spent extended time in a nation you were not native to and met your soulmate, would not that mean if you never traveled you would never have met your soulmate because they did not exist in the nation you were born in? That is something for you who are number crunchers to ponder.
