This may be an obvious one. But when someone's in your life, they're meant to be there for a reason. If they're meant to stay in your life, they will likely make the right decisions in order to be there. According to Mark Pavlinsin, Advisor Divinus at psychic service Keen, there is a reason for why things with an ex, who you thought was your soulmate, didn't end up panning out.

"In terms of long-term or lifetime potential romantic love relationships, there may be a primary first choice, secondary, or third choice contract priorities with certain people [that the universe gives you]," he says. "But much depends upon issue-clearing and the spiritual growth of each candidate to fulfill their terms of the contract." For instance, if the "first choice" candidate that the universe selected for you ended up cheating or being a bad partner, the universe will introduce you to an alternate choice who is better for you at this time. Although nothing's ever set in stone, the right people should come into your life when they're meant to.

"Each person comes into the world with a series of lessons they wish to master, teach, and perfect," Keen Advisor, Live the Light, tells Bustle. "These lessons often appear in the form of romantic partnerships because it's through these unions that we learn to trust, grow, and forgive." Your relationship may not be perfect, but if you're learning a lot about yourself and constantly growing as an individual, you and your partner were meant to fall in love.

"A sure sign you and your partner were destined to fall in love is that feeling of comfort with each other that you project as a couple," dating coach, Irina Baechle, LCSW, tells Bustle. Your chemistry can be detected by people around you. Seeing you two together makes people giddy.

It isn't always easy to show your true self to people you've just met. But if you've never had to pretend to fake anything around your partner, Baechle says you two are probably meant to be. "When you can show vulnerability and share your deepest emotions without the fear of being judged or rejected, you know that you’ve found the right one," she says.

It's easy to assume that "destiny" means things are set in stone. But that's not necessarily true. You can feel completely comfortable with someone upon meeting them but have zero romantic intentions towards them. "Paying attention to your instincts, staying present (in the moment) and allowing your partner or prospective partner to engage with you on many levels can confirm if you 'should' let yourself fall in love," Rappaport says. You may not always choose who you have feelings for, but you can choose whether or not to act upon it. According to her, a little common sense, intuition, and vulnerability will go a long way when you allow yourself to take a chance on love.

Sometimes when you meet someone, you may feel so deeply connected to them that you feel like you've known them all your life. According to Rappaport, that feeling of "knowing" is a good sign that you and your partner were destined to fall in love.

"Each relationship is like a garden in that any seed may have the best potential to be prize-winning, but after germination, a sprout must receive the proper amount of water and sunlight to grow into a beautiful blooming flower," Pavlinsin says. Relationships need to be nurtured in order for it to reach its true potential. When you've found that person you're destined to fall in love with, you'll put effort into nurturing your relationship and your partner will do the same.
