Is it possible to recruit a co-founder?

I am Planing to bootstrap a Mobile Web Venture with a college buddy. As I discuss my business idea with potential customers and investors, they often suggest that I “form a good team” or, “go out and find like-minded folks who want partner with you.” In short, they would like to see me find some co-founders.
I somehow don’t find myself comfortable with the _find_ part. I would love to _discover_ a co-founder, but I worry about how to insure that there will be proper chemistry between us? Obviously it takes time to develop trust. Especially if we [co-founders] are planing to work part-time at first, and in an equity-sharing mode. I somehow get a gut feeling that a “skill-based association” which is sought, rather than discovered, won’t stand the hardships of the early days of a start-up. What do you think?
