How should you transition from a lover to your soulmate?

When I was still a student I had a girl called Anna I was seeing quite casually over a year. We had a decent bond but the sexual chemistry and the safe space we created for each other was what kept us going.

Moving to a new semester. I shared a class with this beautiful girl we will call Jade who we managed to strike a conversation and it became routine as we just found that we had soo much in common both in likes and culture. Fast forward a few weeks and she hinted she wanted to go on a date and I could sense there was soo much good between us. I did not want to transition into dating her knowing she was perfect for me with baggage so I told her I would like some time to think about us.

I used the opportunity to let Anna know that we have got to stop seeing each other and knowing it might hurt her I suggested we go to her favourite theme park for some closure. She agreed and we had a good time but I was soo uncomfortable until towards the end she told me she was happy with tears that the spark we had ended in the sweetest way possible and that put me at ease.

Me and Jade ended up in a long term relationship.

Now a female friend of mine is going through something similar. How would you approach a situation with a lover where a soulmate walks into your life and changes the dynamic?
