Faire la connaissance /rencontrer

Quelle est la différence entre ces deux expressions et pour-quoi faut-il utiliser "rencontrer" au lieu de "faire la connaissance"?

Hi Barbara, 

Il avait rencontré cette jeune Française = He had met this young French woman

although you normally could use 'il avait fait la connaissance' I think that in the context of falling in love 'rencontrer' is more meaningful than to make the acquaintance of this girl, dont' you?
