Experiencing so many coincidences that don't feel like coincidences

1 month ago 21

I brought it up to a friend recently that there are a ton of coincidences that occur to me… I will say I dont really call these synchronicities because they happen more so externally then in my brain. I also apologize for any typos I’m off very little sleep but this has been bugging me especially the more recent ones.

My first year of college I had a pretty intense crush on a guy in my dorm. During that time I had trouble not thinking about him constantly. Almost intrusively as he would come to mind even when I wasn’t thinking about him or didnt realize it. Between fall and spring semesters I managed to butt dial him over social media (snapchat) when he wasn’t even someone recent or high up in my messages list

A few years later he would show up on a dating app (hinge) in his senior / my junior year of college. His 3 prompts were the same as mine, same question exact same answers. For all 3 prompts. I deleted the app that afternoon because I didnt want him to think I changed my answers to be like his because they weren’t similar they were exactly the same.

That same junior year another guy who had stuck out to me a bit on a dating app (bumble) but it never really went anywhere, one instance I run into him directly one night at my off campus apartment. MY campus is pretty big so it can be weird running into each other late at night in an apartment off campus but that’s not the big one. I decided to text some unsaved numbers in my phone and he happened to be one of them. I went through texting them out of pure boredom (and loneliness) one night (maybe I was trying to find an old sneaky link I really dont know) Apparently we had spoken a little earlier in the semester before matching on bumble about possibly living in a house together the next year. This was weird because I didn’t like him like him. But after matching he had been in my brain for a few days. Doesn’t happen with everyone.

Finally this past summer I got into a situation where I liked a guy I was hooking up with and he wasn’t really feeling the same. I moved two a different city for a summer job opportunity and knew I would only be there for a few months. He did like me at some point ands he admitted this but i believe he felt I was too soon in asking to see him more often. He lost interest or got scared but He didnt tell me this outright and instead told me someone in his family had passed and he would be out of town. I didnt know wether to believe this to be true because on one hadn’t telling someone who likes u that this awful thing happened to you seems like it would just make them continue to be concerned for you. On another hand people can be messed up. When the day came to move out of my summer apartment and drive back to my home state, I had taken much longer to pack up my things, I also stopped to get coffee and then had to pull over again to write an emergency email in the car. After writing that email I turned onto the next block and as I was driving down this block I looked over and he was walking up the block. Throughout the whole summer of living less then 10 blocks away from him and hoping I’d run into himI see him by chance right as im about to leave.
