Coincidence

I'll refer to the guy in this story as "David". Many years ago, I met a guy who instantly I thought was my soul mate. We hung out did things together, nothing really too big to speak of really. I have always liked this person and always thought we'd end up together. At times, it feels like I can feel him there when I"m alone driving in my car. I've been in relationships since then and no-one has been able to compare to what I felt for "David". I remember many years ago about 7 years ago, I was in my kitchen and my dishwasher stopped working, so I thought nothing of it, then my garbage disposal stopped working the same minute, same day. So, I go upstairs to look on the internet to find a local appliance repair guy and my computer stopped working (it was brand new). So, I got out the warranty information and on the back of my warranty was "Davids" phone number (i had forgotten I put it there) so I called him. We talked and it was very cool. I said to myself if it's meant to be he'll call me and tell me he's moving closer to me. Well, he did call and he did say that but we lost contact again. About 4 years later we chatted on the phone through a mutual friend of ours. It was very fun, upbeat and we hung out on the phone, not for too long but it was great to hear his voice. Our song we danced to was Hotel California and I'll always remember that night it was very special to me. Anyway, long story short, I ask for signs (and have been asking for years) if it's meant to be then I'll hear that song and 9 out of 10 times I do hear it, somewhere instantly like when i scan the radio dial in my car that song will be playing on another station. Well, just this past weekend another weird thing happened. I was in a long distance relationship with someone and he decided that he couldn't deal with the distance anymore and so we decided to cal it quits. As I laid in my hotel bed I looked over to the ocean and again asked if this is meant to be with "David" then I will get a sign. I just left it at that. I went downstairs in the lobby of the hotel and an artist was singing a country song and I sat and listened and in the middle of a country song she started to play Hotel California and to myself I was like "You're Kidding me" I actually started to laugh to myself. One more thing, I walked outside the hotel and ( i never noticed it before) but when I looked outside across the street..the name of the Hotel? Hotel California. Is it Fate or Am I A Freak? - nikki



Coincidence: During the years 1978 to 1995 I contemplated marrying Sandra my nextdoor neighbour on Australias' Gold Coast. In the year 1995 I moved away from her because my house was being eaten by termites , Ballarat is where I moved to ...........In the year 2007 while doing volentry work a woman from South West Germany named Elli ( not Elle ) had me well and truly smitten , simply because she is a Sandra look alike ........should have married Sandra and because of Australias' Imigration laws Elli had to fly ......Boeing , Boeing , gone......back to The Fatherland ....Danke. - Andy



Coincidence: I have always thought I was different from anyone else and no one really understands me, at 37 with 2 marriages behind me I know what love is but I have the perfect man in my head and resigned myself to the fact I would probably never find him.....but no matter i am happy on my own and not prepared to settle for anything less. One day in my home town a man walks into a local restaurant he took my breath away it was like a bolt of lightening hitting me i literally fell off my chair....later I caught the man staring at me and realised the connection was mutual...I approached him i had to find out who he was turns out he is Danish on holiday in South Africa...the universe brought us together the best thing of all he has the same birthday as me and he is different.....Just like me. - debbie

Coincidence: Basically, I met Jay (my childhood sweetheart) when I was 14 years old - however later broke up at 18! Three years later, I went on a girls holiday to Europe, who should be at the airport with his friends - Jay, we went on to get the same pick up coach and stay in the same hotel, for two weeks................obviously we got back together and remain together to this day - coincident! - Joe

Coincidence: Same Guy Different Paces. I must have been 13 years old living in a small country town, and was part of a youth group and used to travel 3 hrs to a city of a million people or so in Brisbane Qld Australia, to a huge Youth alive concert. I saw this guy there and was really fascinated with him and I kept running into him, young puppy love that is. 1 yr later I travelled to a different youth concert 2 hrs from where i live and who do I happen to run into? I finally talked to him and found out his name was Josh. Well 2 yrs later I moved to another town/city and started going to this church and who happened to go to the same church?? but the bizzare coincident was that I moved to Brisbane and happened to visit another city to see my brother and the same pub that I was in I ran into him again but it turns out that he actually was visiting and now lives in Melbourne (another State).Mabey we were destined for each other... - Julia

Coincidence

Coincidence: I was instructed by my attorney to explain a situation that occured over twenty years ago. As I was writing I could not decide whether or not to mention my deceased lovers name. I typed his name, then I decided to then omit it. I was interupted by my telephone ringing. I pulled my self away from the computer to answer the phone. When I said "hello" I heard a mans voice say "Hello, this is Sean, please hold for an important message". Well, there was no message. The call came in at 5:28 pm. The pre-recorded message ended. I was speechless. The name of my deceased lover was Sean, and the very last time I was with him before he died was 5/28/83, the call came in at 5:28 pm. What do you make of this? - lisa

Coincidence: I joined a dating service a few months ago. There were two guys named Mike who were in Iraq that had e-mailed me. I corresponded with them both for a few months. After they came back home from Iraq: I was supposed to meet them both. Then a third Mike in Iraq e-mailed me. We started talking and shortly after I lost contact with the other two Mikes. I knew there was something signifigant about the name Mike and the fact that all three were fighting in Iraq. After the 3rd Mike and I started talking. I soon found out that we shared the same birthday though years apart. He was also emailing a girl with the same name as I; Amy before me. Another coincincidence. That was the day he would also come back to the States. The coincidences don't stop there; He is a Staff Sargeant in the Army and he injured his left ankle while he was in Iraq. The 1st Mike was also a Staff Sargeant and the 2nd Mike also injured his ankle the same exact way. Are those signs? Well, shortly after Mike came home from Iraq; we met. There was an instant connection as if we have known each other in another lifetime. Soul Mates. Were all these coincidences signs? Could this be fate. My Destiny. - Amy

Coincidence I've always been a believer but NOW I'm speechless. ( good thing I have to type this.. lol) Anyway, I'll try and make a long story short, and start with my vacation back in 1977, 27 yrs ago, when I was 14. I'm now 41. ( another freaky # thing when you flip flop the nos.) So.. when I was 14 ( soon to be 15 in a month) I met my 'first love'... we kept in touch for a while thereafter but circumstances broke us apart beyond our control. 27 years later, ( 2 wks ago ) I picked up a book I had but hadn't had a chance to read till then ( The Celestine Vision ) and was on the 2nd chapter. As much as I was a believer in the literature I was reading, I was still a tad skeptical but yet openminded. Anywayyyyyyyyyy I started thinking about this sweetheart I had as my mind trailed off as I layed my head to rest on the pillow the the night.
One week later I came home after work and ... you guessed it.. he looked me up after 27 yrs and left a message on my answering machine saying he wasn't sure if he had the right person but if it was me to pls call him back as he was thinking about me also. (the future is yet to be seen )
Okay I've rambled on way too much, but I felt I had to share this in this site as I stumbled across it during a search on this topic Thanks for reading and sharing... D

Coincidence My friend and I only usually go out together on Thursday nights and Saturday nights. And that's usually just about all we do is go out and party together. This past Friday night we decided to go out and we went to a new place in town. As she was talking to someone I was just standing back and observing everyone else when this cute guy came up to me and asked me if my name was Nicole. I said yes and he said we use to chat somewhat online. My mouth about dropped to the floor! I asked him what his screen name was and he told me. I did remember him but just barely because it had been MONTHS since we last talked online and we'd only even talked 2-3 times. We ended up talking all night long. Great conversation... Then Sunday, I was leaving my apartment to get lunch when my cell phone rang. Caller ID said it was a private number and I almost didn't answer it but did because I thought it may be the new guy. It was my friend instead wanting to know if I wanted to have!
lunch with her. This NEVER happens. So we went to the mall for lunch...who do we run into while standing in line? The guy from Friday night!

Coincidence Could it mean something IF I keep bumping into the same person all the time? I live in an apartment building and I can go for months without seeing my next door neighbors but all the time I keep running into a guy living About 4 blocks away. I took a job in the city about 7 years ago and I used to take an early train,this one guy I would see every morning and he would stand right near me on the platform one day I noticed him staring at me. Something was familiar between us. NEVER A WORD. we had this SILENT body language thing going on between us. I was afraid to speak OUT OF FEAR, I WAS ATTRACTED TO HIM. I saw him AT LOCAL bar and pizza on many occasions with friends or with girls. I even saw him once at a Nightspot far from away from where we live and again we just stared at each other. no words.... I had not seen this guy since last year on my birthday when I was in the local place when he walked in and the same thing over again. I think he must have moved from the neighborhood since have not seen him in 1 year. I got a call about a new job on Friday to start Monday. I did not sleep much Sunday night. I finally conked out at about 3 am and dreamed that this same guy was waiting in a car outside of my church and the car door was open I was swinging a child around in circles. (weird) Well Monday morning I went to work and when it was time to Go out for lunch, Guess who I saw walking out the door of my office??? Yes him!!!! He works not only in the same Company but we are sitting in the Same Room???? IN NEW YORK CITY ??? We both are in the same business. I want to say something but I froze and he looked shocked to see me even though no words were exchanged this has gone on far too long! WHAT TO DO ?? Can this mean something???? thanks

Coincidence Hi. I read your coincidence page and thought I would send you mine: I am a singer. Back in high school, I used to attend conferences where the best singers from each school would get together in one school for a weekend and have a concert. My junior year, I met a boy there named Gregory Smith that ended up asking me to his prom. I liked him, but he was a little weird (you know the type, doesn't have a 'date' attitude, if he's weird, he's ALWAYS weird; doesn't try to impress ya :) ), so for the first time in my life, I hung up on somebody. I went on with my life, occasionally recalling Gregory with regret--I hate being rude.

After graduating high school, I decided to take a year off, and after that, I went to college. Although this college wasn't very far from my high school, I didn't meet very many people I knew there. I made a few friends there, and one day I went to one of my friend Adrian's parties, in his dorm room. There, I was introduced to a girl and her brother. I didn't recognize either of them. We all sat down to a game of 'Clue,' where I proceeded to have no clue who that handsome guy was who kept staring at me. The next day, I sat down at an email kiosk (you know, the ones all in a row, where if you lean back a little you can read someone else's email?) next to my friend Jodie. I NEVER do this, but today I sort of glanced over and read her email subject line. "Gregory Smith's chat server" was what it said. Now, I grant you, the name Gregory Smith is common, but I recognized it, and said, "oh, I know a guy named Gregory Smith!" Jodie turns to me and says, "Yeah! you played Clue with him yesterday!"

Now, imagine my chagrin--I had always felt bad after treating him badly in high school, and here, I had completely failed to recognize him and apologize! I quickly emailed him and profusely apologized for my actions then and now, and he good-naturedly asked me out again! Here's some of the other coincidences in this relationship: Adrian used to date Gregory's sister; they are still close. Jodie is his sister's best friend. Back in High School, Jodie had a HUGE crush on Gregory, and she remembers HATING the girl he asked to the prom instead of her. Now, like I said, we all lived in the same county, but what are the chances that his sister's best friend could become so close to me, and be able to reintroduce us? That my other close friend could have a party and somehow invite his ex and her brother? That I would be there, too?

Incidentally, my husband forgives me for dissing his prom invitation...

Coincidence Hi! I thought I'd share with you some coincidences that involve my husband and my former fiance.

I'll change the names. I started dating Joe on December 5th of 1991. We fell in love and during our whirlwind relationship, got engaged on January 23rd. I had recently bought my first house but hadn't yet moved in. After Joe and I were engaged, he moved into my house while I stayed living with my parents. Joe knew my oldest brother because they had worked together in the same place. I had gone to high school with Joe's only sister and was the same age as her, although we didn't know one another in high school.

Anyway, Joe and I broke up on March 26th,1992.

I met a man, Bob at work that came to work on my shift and I'd never met him before that time. We became friendly and I was very attracted to him. He asked me out on a date and our first date was on November 5,1993. We fell in love very fast and told each other that we loved each other for the first time on November 19th. When Bob and I met, he was still getting over a broken engagement like I was. He only dated the woman briefly before she talked him into letting her move into his very first home. They broke up on March 26th,1992, the very same day that Joe and I broke up.

Bob and I got engaged on July 5th,1994 and married on September 23 of the same year. It's spooky that Joe and I got engaged on January 23 and were to be married on June 5th!

My husband Bob also worked with my oldest brother at the same place where he'd worked with Joe. And I went to high school with Bob's sister who is my age but I didn't know her at the time. I even rode Bob's sister's school bus in junior high and I saw where she got off the bus everyday. And that same bus also let a girl off on the street where Bob and I now live together as husband and wife!

Coincidence I saw your Web site. None of the coincidences even compare to the rash of coincidences I have experienced in my life, usually clumped together in one year-long period every 7 or 8 years. (Except the Carolyn Green story--that was pretty phenomenal).

I'm sending you the strongest evidence I have that fate exists, for no reason other than it's spooky enough and a good enough story that I need to share. This is rather long, but worth reading. All of it is
true. The names have been changed--except mine.


* * *

When my husband and I were in the process of breaking up after 16 years of marriage, I had a (very brief and wrong-headed) relationship with a man I'll call "John Doe." "John" was born December 4, 1956, and is the oldest child in his family with one brother named "Daniel." He had been married for 19 years and had a daughter named "Rachael." He had never gone to college, and when I asked him how he was raised (in a discussion about religion), he answered, "My mother raised me rowdy." He told me he was "smitten" with me. On our second date, he brought me a photo of himself at age 16 and said, "I wanted you to see how I look to myself in my head."

Less than a year after we broke up, I started seeing "Steve Smith," the man with whom I fell in love (the only man I've been with since my marriage except for "John." Steve and John have never met). Steve was born December 12, 1956, [8 days after "John" - JE] and is the oldest child in his family with one brother named "Daniel." He was married 19 years. He never finished college, and when I asked him how he was raised (during a discussion about religion), he answered, "I was raised a hellion." He told me he was "smitten" with me. On our second date, he brought me a photo of himself at age 17 and said, "I wanted you to see how I see myself." When Steve told me for the first time that he loved me, he said he'd never been in love with anyone as much as he was with me.

The Christmas after Steve moved in with me, he was showing me family scrapbooks and we came across pictures of his father's ancestors. I pointed to a reproduction of an old daguerreotype of a man and woman, and he said, "Those are my great-great-grandparents. Their last name was 'Doe.' Their daughter was my father's grandmother - her name was Rachael." [Recall that Rachael was also the name of "John Doe's" daughter - JE] It was then that I told Steve for the first time John's last time--and the spooky coincidences between them.

I ran into John one day after that. He told me he had become involved with a woman almost exactly a year after he met me. He told me that compared to how he felt about her, he'd never been in love with anyone before. I asked him her name. He said, "Terri."

My name is Terri, too.
