The two terms were meant to be different, yet such a difference was not elaborated upon in the understanding, and might only be understood by those who had taken part in the «informal informals»
Эти два термина задуманы как разные, однако это различие не было разъяснено в документе о понимании и оно ясно только тем, кто принимал участие в неформальных обсуждениях.

The expression «we were meant to be» as a pickup line is considered, as @DanBron says, «cheesy» in American culture.
Two Perspectives on Romantic Love
Permit me, if you would, to get a little philosophical for a moment. There are at least two general ways of looking at romantic love. One way is from the perspective of kismet, a word from Semitic roots which bespeaks fate, good fortune, or even God’s will for two «star-crossed» lovers. In other words, fate/fortune/God meant for two people to come together in a lasting relationship—at least «until death do [them] part» (a common phrase in Western wedding vows, with the word you in place of the word them).
From this perspective, the exchange of vows publicly in a wedding ceremony (whether in a church, synagogue, or a mosque, or on a beach, in the office of a justice of the peace or in a room in city hall) only makes sense. The vows are a profound way (at least they should be) of officially and in the presence of God and witnesses sealing the relationship of «one husband and one wife for life.»
Another way of looking at romantic love is from a more animalistic perspective. Guy meets girl. Guy and girl feel a strong attraction to one another. They «fall in love,» fall into bed with one another, and do what comes natural. If they turn out to be somewhat compatible as a couple, they might decide to live together without the cultural sanction which accompanies a «wedding license.» If the relationship doesn’t work out, they may look at the failure as a «no harm, no foul» sort of hook-up, and simply call it quits—or perhaps become «friends with benefits,» a euphemism for sex without commitment.
«Made For» versus «Meant For»
Of the two perspectives, the former is closer to the «meant to be» sort of romantic relationship. Instead of looking at the relationship through the spectacles of «we were made for each other,» the former perspective (i.e., we were meant for each other) looks at the inevitability of the relationship—again, according to a predetermined fate, fortune, or divine matchup.
On a personal note, I identify more strongly with the «meant to be» perspective on love and marriage. Over 42 years ago in 1972, I met my wife in New York City at a Baptist church. She who was born in a predominantly Muslim country and had immigrated to America about four years before we met! Neither of us were Baptists. In fact, we came from the same (but much smaller) religious tradition, she in her country and I in mine. Since we did identify with the Baptists’ doctrinal perspective, however, we found a church «home» there in Midtown Manhattan, and we were married in that church.
Compatibility As the Best Predictor of «Meant To Be»
I won’t catalog the number of factors which brought us together and have kept us together for the last 40+ years, but I will suggest that our basic compatibility in the important areas of life (e.g., religion, values, family ties, and more) has been more influential in keeping our relationship alive and well than mere romantic love. Knowing that our marriage is a strong three-fold cord has made all the difference to us. (I’ll leave you to determine who or what the third cord is!)

What is the difference between these two sentences below?
I meant to call her instead of sending her a text message.
I was meant to call her instead of sending her a text message.
Do they both have the same meaning?
Did they mean to have this conversation today?
Were they meant to have to conversation today?
What is the difference between these two questions?
-
#2
A big difference. ‘I meant to’ means I intended to, I thought about it, I decided to (but didn’t do it): it is all about my thoughts and decisions. ‘I was meant to’ is about someone else’s decisions: they said or decided I should do it; it was my job, or my responsibility. Or it could be that I was meant to because previously I had said to someone that I would do it: so now I was committed, morally obliged. It wasn’t my choice now; I should have done it because of what other people now thought about me.

(1) I meant to call her instead of sending her a text message.
(2) I was meant to call her instead of sending her a text message.

So they are all grammatically correct and colloquial? Well then do “is meant to” and “is supposed to” have the same meaning? That’s what I have always thought.
-
#5
Well then do “is meant to” and “is supposed to” have the same meaning?
Yes, they are similar. «Supposed to» is probably usually a bit stronger than «meant to», in that it is more likely to imply an obligation.

#6
Yes, they are similar. «Supposed to» is probably usually a bit stronger than «meant to», in that it is more likely to imply an obligation.
If I say
I meant to be on holiday in December.
I’m meant to be on holiday in December.
I totally don’t see the difference here. But they are grammatically correct right?
-
#7
I totally don’t see the difference here. But they are grammatically correct right?
Yes, they are grammatical, and I don’t understand why you don’t see the difference. It’s exactly the same difference as has already been explained with your other examples.
In the «I meant» case, it was
my
plan to be on holiday in December. Because «meant» is past tense here, there is an implication that the plan has changed or is possibly about to change.
In the «I am meant» case, it is
someone else’s
plan that I should be on holiday in December, and the possibility of changing this plan is more remote.
Your boss has asked you to take on a special work project in December. Your reply to your boss is one of the following.
(1) I meant to be on holiday then, but I don’t mind changing my plans, and will be happy to take on this task.
(2) I am meant to be on holiday then. We have made plans, and my wife will kill me if I suggest to her that we change them. I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to take on this task at that time.

«I meant to be on holiday in December»: Because of the past tense, this would
probably
be said after December and would
probably
mean that I wasn’t on holiday in December, even though I had intended to be. Something prevented me from being on holiday in December. But it is difficult to give a categorical answer when the question is in a void, without any context.
«I’m meant to be on holiday in December»: This would be said before December. The meaning is either (1) Someone in authority requires me to be on holiday in December or (2) I have arranged to be on holiday in December but I’m starting to doubt whether I will actually be on holiday in December because of the things I might need to do: I might be needed at work, etc. Again, it’s difficult to be sure, because you haven’t given us any context.

I want to ask a question about »be intend to be» which you dont mentioned.I found these sentence in the macmillan dictonary »You were meant to keep the children out of trouble.» does it convey that keeping the children out of trouble was my obligation but I failed I mean it has same meaning with You should have kept the children out of trouble but you didnt.
I dont understan what meant to be means »I thought we could be friends, but I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.»
3.Another meaning of be meant to be is expected like be supposed to and should be and I can use »be supposed to» or »should» instead I use »be expected to » for below sentences
