Watched movies with partners that eerily predicted relationship outcomes

First movie with a girl predicted our relationship outcome twice. Classic case of one person falling hard while the other stays emotionally unavailable. A while later, she confessed feelings, I couldn't reciprocate the same way, and I had to gently back off. The movie was literally our story before it happened. Later, first movie with my current girlfriend was Your Name (the anime). Star-crossed lovers, separated by time/distance/fate, but destined to find each other again no matter what. Guess what? Life threw us a forced 1-year no-contact break (long-distance + circumstances), but we both feel she'll wait and we'll reunite at the end. It's eerie how on-the-nose it is.

What I wish I knew
"My subconscious already knows (on some level) whether you see this person as 'the one who'll get away,' 'a temporary thing,' or 'worth waiting across time for.'"
If I could tell you one thing
"Pay attention to your gut feeling when choosing the first movie with someone."
