Is it fate if you keep bumping into the same person?

[Anonymous]

Lol i know it sounds cheesy but really. I keep bumping into the same person almost everywhere I go. Usually I bump into this person if it's something that I'm doing that's not part of my schedule, like I needed to get something done at the office at school and I would see him cross my path. I even had a drwam about this guy which is really weird considering the fact I never even talked to him. My school is huge, (3,000+ kids) so it's unlikely that you would see someone a lot like that. What do you think? Is this some kind of sign?

What is you guy's problems? Like i get the idea, the fact that I think fate is real is stupid as fuck. just another dumb teenager that has no brain. If you don't have anything nice to say just stfu

[Seachips]

Your story is the same as mine. I keep running into this guy and having dreams about him. I don't know who he is I moved to a new school. One day I caught him in the Hall againa nd I just stared at him then he stared at me. It was awkward but he looked away and then I looked away. Ever since that we avoided each other when we see each other. Recently it's happening again, this time in my classes (only 2 classes) we always catch each other's eyes. I do believe it has SOMETHING to do with that person being a part of your life. It's has to be, if someone wants to say a word to me. Be welcome.

Did anything come of it?
I have the same thing this girl she just always crosses my path i’ll be walking to some shop or a park random routes and she just shows up ! It can’t be a coincidence she just showed up for the 23rd time so far that not possible in my whole life i’ve never seen the same person more than once her 23 times ! Wtf is going on?

[Realfire22]

Could be fate. Either that, or it's just a small world.

[Asker]

If it is fate, then what would it mean? And it's not like it's only me that keeps seeing him, he notices me too. It's like almost every other day or so we see each other, make eye contact for a while, and keep walking. But the look on his face is weird, it's like 😐

[Asker]

Like that emoji but with eyebrows android is different lol

[Realfire22]

Lol ik what you're talking about. Well, if you really want to know, just talk to him the next time u see him. A simple hi and smile will do, even a little wave if u like. He may not respond back to u, but it's apparent you won't feel better until you at least greet this guy.
You guys may not be meant or anything, but since u both go to the same school and seem to bump into each other quite often, might as well put good use to it and at least say "hi :) ", then continue on, showing that it doesn't matter if he says hi back (even though you'd prefer that he does)
Makes sense? If not, please tell me.

[Realfire22]

If it is fate, then it means he holds a specific purpose in your life story. Could be anything. Good or bad. Either way, if it's fate, expect to see him further on down the road.

Nah. Fate doesn't exist. Randomness does. It's just things you start noticing. If you pay attention to certain things you'd find patterns and repetition in them. It's always there in random manner in everything.
There was this girl. I had crush on her. One day we talked too much about her and for next few days I kept seeing her name and everything related to her in so many things. I never noticed those, whereas all things were already there for many years.

There's no sign, just a mere coincidence created by your routines.

[Asker]

But the thing is, it's not routine! I would see him when I'm not doing something that's in my routine, like one time my mom decided to go to the store after school which is what we normally don't do, and poof there he was.

[Opinion Owner]

It's just coincidence. I had many coincidences like that with the girl I mentioned. Some were really creepy. World is small for us, even if we live 1,700 km away most of the time.
Look around, you'd probably find scarier coincidences than bumping to that guy.

[ichot]

@Asker like another answer said, it's confirmation bias at work. You want something to be true so you'll accept all the evidence that supports your view while disregarding all others.

You'd like to hear that it is fate and some higher power might be making you to get together but reality is, his schedule of events line up with your schedule. Come back to reality miss!

[Asker]

@ichot jeez, don't be so damn harsh about it lol

[Opinion Owner]

Also, what is fate? Who decides your fate that this girl and that guy should meet? It's you. Your actions will decide outcome, not some mumbo-jumbo like fate.

When I had that period of coincidences, I started believing in faith, temporarily. It all goes away once you start using your head. I did, and I'm back to reality 😂

[Asker]

Uh, hello? I get the fucking idea, like haha dumbass teenager thinks that she knows how life works. Thinks that the world is all about fate, true love and destiny. You can shut the fuck up now, who tf likes to patronize teenagers on some random site?

[Asker]

Thats the reason why your anonymous because you know what your typing would be considered fucking offensive

[Opinion Owner]

Ummm, I wasn't but now I must patronise you 😂

Look dear, it's not appropriate to use those language on some random site. It's not appropriate to talk like this to anyone anywhere. You should learn to respect elders. Learn to show respect to everyone. Only way to earn respect is to give respect. One day you'll thank me for this beautiful piece of advice.

Now turn off computer or cell phone and go out! Somewhere you'll find that guy waiting for you. He's fated to love you. Now why are you still reading this? Go out baby, hurry hurry ☺️

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe, maybe not.

[Asker]

Wow you little prick, you're waisting my precious time.

[Asker]

You're such a dick, is there really any need to be like that? You must have no life to by pissing people off behind a computer screen, bet you wouldn't be able to do or say any of the shit in real life.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't like to piss off people until they deserve it. Also you have such Nano-short temper. It amused me. Even worst tempered person I know doesn't have temper like you.

I'm sorry if you think that I was wrong in first place 😡

[Asker]

You're pissing me off because the way you're coming across it is rude, and oh boo hoo I'm the most pissed off person you ever met. Well you should get a reality check because there are more people in this world than the people you know in your little bubble asshole. And its a bit immature that you piss people off when you think they "deserve it". What the actual fuck lol. Its not that I thought you were wrong, you came off as some kind of know it all prick that knows so much better than me. There are people that have the same viewpoint as you on this question and they aren't acting like some prissy little bitch.

[Opinion Owner]

Okay, I'm sorry ma'am *full-bow* I realise that I was at fault. You didn't have to be so mean :'(

[Asker]

Oh my god your feeble attempts at sarcasm are honestly hilarious, you're probably just some dumb troll, grow up.

[Opinion Owner]

I was serious except "ma'am" part. But whatever :/

[Asker]

Lol of course you were 😒

[Metlahaed]

Nope, this is the confirmation bias at work, look it up. Science is amazing, and it disproves many supernatural and paranormal claims (if not all of them)

This is a clear case of confirmation bias, and it is happening because you like him.

[Asker]

But I've never talked to him before in my life. I mean I have no idea who he is so how could I "like" him?

[Metlahaed]

Easily... you can be attracted to his looks, and don't forget our brain has this little thing called "imagination."

You probably see hundreds of the same people "every other day" but just don't notice because you don't care... This is the confirmation bias.

Even if you don't "like" him, there is a clear intrigue. Enough to make you ask yourself if the universe somehow brought you together... Really...

[Asker]

You could've just said in more simpler words that it means nothing, otherwise all this extra bs about me liking him, excuse my language.

[Metlahaed]

Well, do you like him? I am strongly compelled to believe that you do. It is not often people post on GaG about guys they don't like, especially when using terms like "fate"

[Metlahaed]

Liking him would also explain why he sticks out, when others do not...

[Asker]

Ok I guess I'm attracted gm to him, but that doesn't mean I like him. He's kinda annoying.

[Asker]

*him

[Metlahaed]

Just say hi and get it over with!

[Asker]

But rn tbh I don't know what his relationship status is rn. I'm just gonna stay away since he's a junior and im a sophomore. Like no way in hell am i ever gonna approach him, to high if a chance of rejection.

[Metlahaed]

Saying hi won't do any damage to your reputation. There's nothing to reject...

[Asker]

No he'll just act all weird that I'm telling him hi, because thats how my generation is, trash lol

[Metlahaed]

:( I don't think so, I see so many bright kids it is amazing. Anyway, seems you have enough going on, good luck in school don't fuck up like I did.

[madhatters4]

no just coincidence or the fact that you guys have schedules that put you in similar places at the same time.

[MindIrae]

Nah let me tell you a story. there was this guy who i kept bumping into so i decided to talk to him. turned out he was a massive prick

[Complicated-Soul]

I got a picture of my school while reading this.
:p

I don't see it as fate. Just coincidence.

[ChocolateCheesecake]

That happens to me in Walmart pretty often so I'm going to say no LOL

[Aksamlar]

I think it is a lack of awareness on both sides.
