How does one recognize his/her soulmate?

This was bout 2 years ago.I had seen him a couple of times before i had my first eye contact with him and bam!. .it was my first n my only love at first sight even though I didn't believe in it.I didn't pay much heed to it n i moved on(he was a stranger to me then practically) n had a serious relationship with my best buddy.But all this time even when i was dating someone else n wasnt thinking bout Mr.LoveAtFirstSight(LAFS) i had these very vivid realistic dreams about him way too frequently.All these dreams seemed like an alternate reality to me n they made me so emotinal that my emotions didnt fade away for a day or two even though i knew they wer jst dreams.For example i dreamt Mr.LAFS n I wer in our college during sunset n it felt like some sort of last moment between us.He held me n caressed my cheek with a sad smile as if he was helpless bout our inevitable separation.Now this might be a lil confusing.But there wer two of me(s).one me was the observer who knew that the factor pulling us apart was my best buddy boyfrnd n the me in his arms was unaware.After a few moments i was pulled away frm him without knowing by who or what.Thats when i woke up intensely sad with tears in my eyes.n i was sad as if the dream was reality n reality was a dream.n usually dreams get wiped off my memory when i wake up.meanwhile in reality me n Mr.LAFS have encountered each other too many times for coincidences.i even met him when i tried real hard to avoid him.Even my boyfrnd noticed the "coincidences" between us.I feel stirred n sad when i meet him.i have even had telepathic connections with him.Somehow i just come to know when he enters into my vicinity without any clue or explanation.i know it coz i start feeling the same signature agony frm the dream.Its hard to explain.N when i turn around i m face to face with him n then we both jst instantly turn away.I could be imagining bt i feel very strongly that all of this isn't just a one sided thing.N i dnt know y even though i have crazy urges to communicate with him i always feel its nt the right time n our time will come again.we both r bout to graduate n are approaching a fork.n our chances of meeting again could be very thin.can anyone who has met his/her soulmate tell me if there is any possibility that Mr.LAFS is my soulmate?
