Hey there, so I wanted to discuss an experience I had and I wanted to see what kind of input and advice I would get on the subject. So it all started when I went to my first edm music festival with a bunch of my friends and we decided to take some MDMA for the 2nd day. I had taken it before and was prepared for the effects of the drug and the after effects, but later on while I was at one of the shows I had a very bizarre experience, I know this might sound strange but throughout that entire day I had felt a very strange gut feeling that I couldn't distinguish. It didn't feel bad nor good, but simply weird. Along with that I felt this strong magnetic energy pulling as well. To where? I had no idea but I felt like I was being drawn to something I couldn't distinguish.

As the day dragged on the gut twisting feelings did as well until it went crazy near one of the night shows When in the middle of the show someone had tapped on my shoulder and had asked for a cig but when I had looked up to confront this guy the feeling I got was one I had never encountered before. It was like the universe and time in itself had stopped and everyone around me had disappeared. It was like one look into his eyes and everything made sense. I felt completely naked and vulnerable like he could read my soul and understood and I could do the same for him. I felt like I was looking into a mirror and my gut was telling me the feelings were mutual.

Within minutes we had snapped out of the daze that seemed to carry on forever and then he introduced me to his girlfriend... and I have to say as much as this might sound strange to some people, I could sense and see the most pain stricken vibe coming from this poor girl who I'm sure saw it all in action. After that I tried to keep my distance because of the saddening look I saw, but after that I couldn't bare not to look at him over and over again. I could see him doing the same with me and after I finally lost him I feel I'll never be the same, I feel the heavy weight of devastation, like I've lost my soul mate.

If there's any advice you guys have to offer, it'd be much appreciated.
Thank You.

Who knows. One of the documented side effects of 'Molly' or MDMA is developing temporary feelings of love and affection for the people you are with and for the strangers around you and another hightened sense of awareness. These effects wear off course and you are back to the ordinary you in minutes. I wouldn't put too much store in how you felt at that time.

I must agree with Tickle and suggest that an intense feelings enhanced by drugs should never be OVER reacted to. I think you regret not being able to explore and experiment more with the encounter, but once the dope wore off, you need time for the feelings to wear off too.

Until then its normal to dwell and even to FANTASIZE on those feelings, but please don't get STUCK on them and be distracted from the facts and reality of the situation. Don't be hard on yourself or bewildered, just give yourself time to process this encounter and let your emotional dust settle.

Two people can be attracted to each other instantly, and a week later hate each other. In your case, you may never know so move beyond this encounter, and chalk it up to a dope experience for now because really, that's all it was. Like a drunk that thinks he had a great time at the party last night!

Did I mention don't get stuck on those intense dope enhanced feelings?

Drugs.. including alcohol, distort your perception of reality... and nothing while under the influence will be as it seems when you are sober and you see things for how they really are.

I would say a resounding NO to your question...you need clarity to know when you meet a soul mate, and even then you need clarity over a long period of time as you get to know them. Something impossible in an evening...or even a few evenings. You usually find something about them you REALLY don't like after you get to know them. When that happens you learn they really weren't a soul mate after all.
