Step 1

Ok, so we have a working defintion of what a soulmate is.

Let's take the first aspect:

- phoning up at the same time.

Well, that's something that could be apparent in the early days of a relationship, or not - it's something that might grow as we (maybe) tune in to one another. The point relates more to an almost telepathic communication. Have you ever experienced this? I have, and 'sixth sense' stuff will be the subject of an article on 'starman' - not 'paranormal', but in relation to the physical world in which we live.

We could also consider 'subliminal' communication, though that relates mainly, I think, to physical presence and subconcious reading of body language. It is generally accepted that women are better than men at this, though men can learn it (or be taught it by a lady, as was I).

So, if you are a guy looking for a soulmate, watch for the signals (unless you are a caveman - but then you wouldn't be reading this anyway). If you are a gal, then you are probably tuned in already.
