Yes, I would tend to agree with your view. I do get that feeling of strong connection with some people. Whether that is because we have met before or are just on a similar part of our learning path, I leave open to interpretation. The example I was giving in my post was referring more to people who don't feel that, but cling to the idea of finding a soul-mate as they are not comfortable being alone, or feel a need to get married as it is a "safe option" etc.
