At first i thought these two were the same, but i'm not sure.
Is there a huge difference between a spiritual and emotional connection?
I'd say there's a distinct difference.
Emotional connections often involve a varying degrees of passion, and usually have an extroverted energy flow. An emotional connection is an attachment to something outside of oneself, and therefore it is dependent on that item for its reactions.
Spirituality comes from within, and usually evokes stronger (but less common) emotions. Also, spirituality can create a sense of contentedness. The thing about spirituality, though, is that it is self-sufficient -- the reason why spirituality is so important in so many religions is because it allows the individual to accept and deal with whatever external issues there are, since the emotional responses with spirituality are all self-contained. There's no external dependance, which is what makes it so powerful.
Now, how this relate to differences between a spiritual connection with someone vs. an emotional connection with that person?
So, while everyone would agree that there is something like emotional connection, I am not sure that everybody would agree that there is something like spiritual...For some people it is nothing more than idealistic view...
I think that there is something like that.
Do you think that both sides have to feel it. because if not, could it still be spiritual connection?
whether spiritual connection has to be mutual while you can feel emotionally connected to someone but without it being mutual.

Yes. In my opinion.
Emotional connections are psychological eg; love, hate etc.
I consider the soul to be connected to the mind, but they only briefly overlap.
Spiritual connections are supernatural eg; the holy spirit.
Spiritual connections don't have to be supernatural. They are most commonly connected to religion, but they can exist without. Some aspects of Buddhism and Confucianism come to mind because it emphasizes spiritual awakening without necessarily involving a deity.
Define the difference between supernatural and natural and how they tie into together with spirituality.
