Need help..gay soul mate..?

so im the type of person who has never really believed in soul mates

but i met this guy whos here for the week from out of town today so i offered to hang out with him

i can honestly say i have never in my life connected with a person the way we did...it was almost scary how much we had in common and my taste isnt exactly what people would consider the norm..

but the thing that sold me was when we were renting movies, the fact that he loves phantom of the opera almost knocked me off my feet..but i guess i should have seen that as a sign..after the movie was over we were just talking casually and he told me he was gay.

theres absolutly nothing wrong with him being gay, other than the fact that im 200% sure hes my soul mate. for some reason im really upset about this..i just met him today and i feel like my life just ended. is this normal? do we really have soulmates or am i just being ridiculous? i know life will go on, but how can i get over this?

Stumbled on this question on accident, I have no expertise whatsoever, but I googled it and found this book:

"A Couple of Friends: The Remarkable Friendship Between Straight Women and Gay Men"

http://www.amazon.com/Couple-Friends-Rem...

"In an era when men and women are supposed to be from "different planets" and unable to communicate, many gay men and straight women seem able to connect almost effortlessly. Perhaps it is because this is not a relationship of convenience or forced by societal pressure, but a friendship based on common interests, mutual respect, and real affection."

Just accept that he'll never see you as anything more then a friend, and that no matter how much you love him a relationship between you will never, ever work out. You can't make him straight no matter how hard you try. So you just need to start looking for another guy.
you are nut case, go and take a cold shower
You basically got a free best friend for life without all the confusion and finality of having sex. Sex is the greatest human confusion. So be happy with your soul mate, treat him like a twin brother and go find a straight guy to sex it up with, then you can gossip with your gay friend :)
similarities, yes, but you've only known each other for a day so the connection is not really from the heart.

plus haven't you ever heard the term opposites attract?
You just think that your very best friend is your soulmate. You aren't ridiculous, just confused.
