In search of evidence

I was not actually convinced that I was his soulmate until only recently after seeing the movie he wrote in the 1970's called Gas Pump Girls.  It shows a profile to me of his ideal woman, at least in terms of traits he values like willingness to go to any length necessary to meet a challenge. 

The women all had moxie and were savvy at devising counter offensive schemes against the competitor across the street who was using every devious means possible to try and put their uncle's gas station out of business.  

Since he wrote the film in the 70's, prior to feminism as a mainstream model, he chose to make the girls beautiful, sexy blondes in minimalist clothing with maximal exposure of T and A.  They successfully fight off multiple attacks planned by the devious competitor. They use their brains as well as sex appeal, like talking a biker gang into helping them because they knew they needed more strength. The girls with their own cleverness are able to defeat the competitor and his business closes.  The End.  It didn't win an Oscar but it does speak to the things he values.    Since I am probably the only person on the planet that got anything from Gas Pump Girls, it must have been written just for me.  :)

From Plato's Symposium - The lover now pursues his love. As he gets closer to his quarry, and the love is reciprocated, the opportunity for sexual contact again presents itself. If the lover and beloved surpass this desire they have won the "true Olympic Contests"; it is the perfect combination of human self control and divine madness, and after death, their souls return to heaven. Those who give in do not become weightless, but they are spared any punishment after their death, and will eventually grow wings together when the time comes.  A lover's friendship is divine, Socrates concludes.

Bashert, (Yiddish: באַשערט), is a Yiddish word that means "destiny".  It is often used in the context of one's divinely foreordained spouse or soulmate, who is called "basherte" (female) or "basherter" (male). It can also be used to express the seeming fate or destiny of an auspicious or important event, friendship, or happening.

The idea of soulmates comes from statements found in classical rabbinic literature. A proverb that "marriages are made in heaven" is illustrated by a story in a midrash collection:

A Roman matron, on being told by R. Jose ben Ḥalafta that God arranges all marriages, said that this was an easy matter, and boasted that she could do as much herself. Thereupon she assembled her male and female slaves and paired them off in couples; but on the morrow they all went to her with complaints. Then she admitted that divine intervention is necessary to suitable marriages.
