Do you believe in fated relationships?

Like a relationship that's just meant to be? For example, let's say two people keep crossing paths, no matter how much they try not to or not at all. Or have you ever had a time where you thought the universe was trying to bring you two together?

Yes I do. I've known people who fit so well together and have come together in the most incredible ways that I can only think it was part of their 'destiny'. I think that all love is amazing but when you think about it this way, we're on this Earth with over 7 billion people and we have the privilege of meeting the person we want to spend the rest of our lives with it really does make you think about the exceptional luck we need for things to work. If you add on all of the other factors that we go through daily, like choosing to walk somewhere or going to a different restaurant at a different time and you may never have met your spouse. You might have married someone else, had different children. Your whole life would be different. I think about the guy I like and I often think, what if I'd never done this, or I'd done that instead. I'd never have started talking to him.

I often think it's a 'miracle' (in the loosest terms) that people get together at all. Sometimes it feels like to be with someone the planets have to align or something. You both have to be in the right place in your life, the right time in your life, want the same (or similar) things at the same time. I've seen so many couples fail because one was ready for something more serious and the other wasn't yet. Then years later they realize their mistake and it's too late. Who knows what would have happened otherwise?

Anyhoo, I don't know WHERE I'm going with this now and I'm not sure that I think some form of deity or magnetic force or whatever is upstairs looking down and moving the pieces in the right direction to make things happen. I think people have more than one destiny, but our own free will dictates which one we end up living.

Yeah I definitely believe in them ^_^ I'm not sure whether I've had any experiences of them myself though...I meet a lot of people a lot when I'm not expecting it and I keep remeeting them, but they always run away because I'm odd :P

I used to but now I don't believe in it anymore. I thought my ex was my destined because he crosses paths with so many times but to come and find out it nothing but pure fantasy for me.
