"How long before I get in? Before it starts, before I begin? How long before you decide?Before I know what it feels like? Per Wikipedia, connection refers to the human desire to experience the integration of the self and the other. This is accomplished through communication and empathy.
Also per Wikipedia: "...Communication is a process by which information is exchanged between or among individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, and behavior. ...when speaking about communication it is very important to be sure about what kind of communication are we speaking about, mainly: what type of things are communicated, between what agents, and with what kind of results.
Again per the same source: Empathy (from the Greek εμπάθεια, "to make suffer") is commonly defined as one's ability to recognize, perceive and directly experientially feel the emotion of another. As the states of mind, beliefs, and desires of others are intertwined with their emotions, one with empathy for another may often be able to more effectively define another's modes of thought and mood. Empathy is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes", or experiencing the outlook or emotions of another being within oneself, a sort of emotional resonance.
