Then what?........ whatever you want.

Edit: Damn ninja's.

To me a soul mate is a person is a person who is so great that you will never meet somebody that great again before you die.

I agree that there is no teleology or divine purpose that assigns us to one person. But there may be somebody so amazing for us that once we meet them they're really a one in a million and the chances are basically zero that you'll ever meet somebody that amazing again before you die.

Perfect = perfect for me.

I don't know how to re-evaluate that. Perfect for me is the perfect match for me.

Is a life without sex and romance worth living it as a monogamous person who doesn't want to ever settle for second best? I'm not asexual or aromantic.
