What does ton ame soeur mean in French?

I know that it literally means "your soul sister" - but if a guy writes this to you in a letter...what sort of sentiment is he sending you? I know the French are very sensual and open about their feelings but I am an American girl and I am certainly not used to this type of poetic discourse from a guy! Can someone please be clear as to what his thoughts are for writing this to me? Thanks

It actually means kindred spirit or soulmate. Even though the word "soeur" appears in the expression, it is used to refer to both men and women.
"Soeur" is used instead of "frère" because "âme" is a feminine noun.

Have you ever thought this guy is gay? and this might be his way of telling you this. THIS IS A BIG ASSUMPTION. Or maybe he sees you as a sister? You might as well just ask the person. None of us are inside his head. If only life and words were easier to understand the meanings.

lol considering that in the same sentence he also talked about his desires to "sensually kiss me" - I doubt that.

Lol, hmmm maybe he was just trying to be cool and did not really know what it meant. Lol. That is great. Ask him, are you shy to ask him?

well in doing more research, although it literally translates to 'soul sister'...it's meaning is more along the lines of 'soul-mate' so yeah...he loves me. lol

Soeur means sister literally I would not assume that it's romantic. In the english language its not uncommon to call someone a "brother" or "sister" who is not related to you. I would read it the same way I would in English-- a close friend (someone like family) or they feel a close connection on a spiritual level.
