A female Malaysia age 26-29, anonymous writes:

hi,

i really wanted to know if there is such thing as fate, or coincidence,as people called them. so,ok there is this guy in my school. he's one year above me. its been 4 weeks into a new year in my school. i really don't know him at all; he is another stranger and a new student in the day school and also in boarding house. yes , its a boarding school. at first, i didn't notice him. but few days later, my friend mentioned a new chinese student ( im also chinese, which is why my friend mention him to me), but i don't really care, or didn't notice, until another few days later, i saw him staring at my direction (i don't think there is anyone behind me or in front of me). i stared right back, but he looked away first (if i remembered correctly). a few weeks later, i found out he has the exactly same name but our first and middle name don't spell the same, but very close, and sound really, extremely similiar.

t was during the first few weeks of school, that i began to notice we passed by each other, and that happened all the times. Also, our school is the size of 6 football pitches or even more, which is very large, so it's extremely unlikely that we met each othe, but we did! and it is not just one times every day. the least times i met him is 3 times a day, but the most times i met him is up to 9 times! i also realize from my friend that he came from a british school in Muskat called BSM, and i came from a school called BSN (another british school). i was told that we even looked quite similar, and we have the same height. scary! but, somehow, when i first really looked at him 3 metres away, i felt something (i never feel this way before for anyone); my body feels stiff but kinda go watery sometimes. aside from these eerie coincidence, i caught him staring at me several times (one time is when he 's staring at me quite dreamily, the other time he lowered his head, and smiled subtly, and i notice his eye pupils were very big). another time when he was looking at me, i caught him, he quickly looks away to the side, or immediately stare at the ground. he usually stare at me from a distance aside from the attempted subtle smile right in front of me (i went all stiff and face freezed).

so, i am very curious to see if all these were mere occurences, or is it something mroe, like fate. from his behaviour, i wanted to know if he's interested in me. please remember that he is a stranger, and i don't know him at all, but i'm now very interested by his behaviours, and of course him. please give me some tips! thanks and...

thank you for replies. i'll really appreciate them.

if questions are not clear, im really sorry!

here it is:

- are the occurences happening between me and the stranger just coincidence or is it fate

- is he interested? what should i do if he is

- he is confident around friends and people he is not attracted to, but his staring and look away from a distance says he's shy around girl he's interested/like, right?

dougbcoll agony aunti will give you my story and you can decide . back when i was around 14 years old my dad and i was riding on a back road , we past by a place where two girls were playing and something ( i will have to say GOD ) said deep into me this area is were your future girl will be from. well six years later when i took my girlfriend home she lived at that time around the corner on a dead end street. we broke up for awhile , but got back together. we have been married twenty eight years. this past spring i was telling my wife of the story while driving down that road . i turned up that street that she lived on and finished my story. she ask why i never told her before. i guess i placed those memories in the back of my mind and dismissed them. this past year i have been thinking a lot about my wife and me, and memories have been flooding back in my mind.

I believe in fate.

I was a customer at a shop 8 months ago when a guy worked there grabbed my attention instantly. I've never felt anything like it before. I didnt even know his name but i couldnt get him outta my head for some reason. I also had a bf at the time so i pushed my thoughts aside.

fast forward a little and i heard from someone at work that had visited that shop, that this guy had asked after me, weather i was single etc. He was told no. Then the wierd coincidences happened.

I work mobile so im at different locations all the time. Turns out i worked opposite his house for 3 weeks, i was parking on his nature strip! When i saw him next he jokingly said i was stalking him! I was so intrigued that i found him on facebook and added him. He said when he went onto facebook and saw my request he was shocked because he had just served my dad at his work! We chatted (as mates only) on and off for weeks. I also nearly ran over his friend and him while they were skating on the road a week later, at a totally random street i was driving down.

I broke up with my boyfriend because things wernt working between us and began talking even more to this guy. Fast forward a bit and we are now together, couldnt be happier.

Fate had to be apart of the wierd running into him incidents i swear!

Get to know this guy, wierd coincidents happen for a reason

I believe fate can play a role and does. The most wild example of this is the following. I read this story in a motorcycle mag and it is unbelievable. If two people are meant to be together it will happen.

This woman who was from Norway, I believe, rode a Harley Davidson motorcycle. The 100th anniversary of HD was coming up and she started saving for her trip 2 years in advance and planned to take time off work. She shipped her bike to Newfoundland, Canada, and flew over there to pick it up and ride it across Canada and then to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the HD anniversary and then down to Florida and back. She did this.

Here is where it gets interesting. She gets to the anniversary and there is a campground full of an estimated 12,000 people. She finds a camp site and next to her are 4 guys and they end up talking to her and helping her because she is on her own. To make a long story short, she ends up falling in love with one of the guys and ends up travelling back to his place in Canada after her tour. They eventually get married. What are the odds that these two people would both be single and then have this chemistry?

So, yes, if you're meant to be with someone it will happen.

I think you're right about his interest in you, also. It's hard to keep a gaze of someone you're attracted to.

Hi there, I don't know how best to describe the occurances, some people believe in fate, some don't. However, the important thing is here that you seem to have a little bit of a crush on this guy, and you see him around alot so why not try to talk to him more? you might have heaps more in common, and talking should give you a better idea if he likes you or not. Just be friendly and socialble and see where things go.
