The actress who played Ruth was 32 at the time. Way too old to be the image of someone Kirk dated as a youth. Maybe she's his memory of a teacher he once had a crush on and fantasized a relationship with?
If Carol Marcus was the lab technician, "almost married" could just mean he asked her and she turned him down. Based on the age of the actor who played David (23 when ST II came out) their breakup would have been about 8 years prior to "Space Seed." I think Kirk would have been out of the Academy and serving on a ship at that point.
