I'm trying to find the title (and author) of a short story I read in the 90s, but it's probably from the Golden Age of science fiction. The story is about a ship in deep space that discovers it's trajectory intersects perfectly with the trajectory of another spaceship--an astronomically unlikely coincidence. The main character is a man from the ship who has a hard time making friends. He gets in touch with a woman on the other ship who seems remarkably similar to himself (she also has a hard time making friends). The two communicate by radio and are hopeful that they can start a relationship. The story ends with the discovery that the other ship is made of "anti-matter," and so the two ships--and the two characters--can never physically interact with each other. The two ships then go their separate ways.
