How to tell if you've found your soulmate: a fill in the blank test

I love that e-Harmony commercial where the couple's like "(Him) We-- (her) finish each other's sentences! (both) *giggles*" That's such a widely accepted/expected hallmark of soul-mate-dom that it's become a cliché, and one that doesn't apply to me and Matt. Quite the opposite, in fact. Here's an example of a conversation we end up having almost every day:
Matt: That fruit smells like... um. What's the word I'm looking for?

Me: Fruit?

Matt: No. It's like, fresh, like... sweet...

Me: Fruity?

Matt: [rolls eyes] I thought you were supposed to be some kind of wordsmith.

Me: A writer does not need to be a thesaurus to get the point across.

Matt: Whatever. Help me out here. It's like, healthy...

Me: Earthy?

Matt: No.

Me: Organic?

Matt: No! ...maybe.

Me: That's all I got.

Matt: Some writer you are.

So does this mean we can't be soulmates?
