Les Poupées Russes

Life allows you to get across a bunch of people, some of which you hardly get to know and few others whom you get to know better and with whom you keep in touch. In the search for "the other half", how do you know that you've found it? And more, is there really only "one other half", or does one have more chances to meet the right person to spend your life with?

From a movie that I've watched recently, one idea is still in my mind. The main character saw this process of looking for the other half as the process of discovering the Russian Dolls. In other words, you get to know people who fit you more or less until you find the "last doll" or "the other half". Two questions arise from this:

1. does one absolutely need to go through the entire process and get hurt so many times in order to finally meet the right one?
2. is it possible that you get across the last doll right from the beginning? and what happens if you miss the opportunity to recognize that he/she is you other half? does one have more than one halves?

I think there is no "the one" or "the other half". It's about whose deficiencies can you tolerate. Orthodox people usually say "whose cross want you to carry?"
I think that before one's death, there is a moment of remember and you will think... who was the other half?... and you realize you forgot to live because you was searching all the time.
