can you feel a connection to someone you haven't met yet, and haven't talked to?

and then when you meet and become friends with them in real life, you realize that you feel the same connection towards them?

or is that just a coincidence because when it happens, you suddenly remember it, and if it doesn't, you don't think about it? yeah, that could be true.

but it's so interesting. it might have just been my phase, though. my i want everyone to stay young and act young phase. well, guys mostly.
