What they’ve come to understand about dating is no one knows how to do it right these days. So they choose to be that exception. Which has made dating for them difficult.

4. They have wisdom beyond their years.

People with deep souls tend to just be born with wisdom beyond their years. Which has made it hard for them to relate to people their age. They have an understanding of what is actually important in life and they know how to let go of the things that aren’t.

They won’t get caught up in drama or little things that upset most people. They focus on the things they need to. They look at relationships and people thinking, ‘will this person help get me to the next level?’ And if the answer is no, they step away from it.

10. They value deep connections.

They really know how to listen. One conversation with them and you’ll feel better because deep souls always make things about other people.

They aren’t afraid of that.

Chances are they’ve been rejected and judged for most of their life. But they grew up and learned what makes them different is what makes them beautiful.

13. They love harder than most.

They don’t play by any rule. They simply follow how they feel about things and don’t regret it.

15. Their advice is something of value.

You’ll see how many of their friends turn to them for advice. And they will want to help everyone.

They’ll be your rock when you need it. And a lot of what they say will be accurate you’ll learn to really appreciate and value their insight.

16. They are hopeless romantics.

They believe in hand written letters. They know love is as real as you make it be. They hold onto these standards that may seem unrealistic or out of some fairytale but there isn’t anything they wouldn’t do for love. And if you’re lucky to be someone reciprocating it, you’ll feel their love so deeply and it will fill you in a way, you never knew you were empty.

17. They wear their heart on their sleeve.

They’ll say things sometimes you might not know how to respond to. But they don’t say things in hopes you say things back. They tell you what they think and feel because they think you deserve to know.

Ironically a lot of us fear love because we don’t want to get hurt again. But that very same thing you fear is what will heal you when it’s with the right person. A deep soul will heal your past heartbreak and teach you how you love even if you’re scared. They will show you the right love will never hurt you but make you better.
