man, and that may be true; however, you won’t experience a deep and
genuine connection with every single one.
Such a connection is rare to experience more than once in a lifetime;
although, there are exceptions to the rule.
Having a genuine connection with someone is a special experience. It’s

need to live with a person; however, there needs to be time spent getting to
know one another.
You need to talk, open up, and share the deeper parts of you. Without
it, you won’t discover who they are. Although you may not completely
know a person, you want to gain a more in depth understanding. Getting
along and liking someone, or being able to hang out with them only
