A voice in my head said “you’re going to be good friends with this guy”, I thought to myself that as I don’t work with him this isn’t going to happen and my workplace is large. Anyway so I saw him around now and then, even opened the door for him once and he didn’t even say thanks which left me a bit put out. I didn’t actively pursue him and spent time with my own immediate co-workers and forgot all about him. Once day one of my co-workers who works in his department came into my office asking if I would come with her to their office as someone needed help and I was the best person for the job. I walked back with her only to discover it was the guy I’d seen last year who wanted help. I of course obliged and introduced myself. After that we spoke nearly every day and I helped him out with his work, we gradually got to know each other as you do and I saw that something was getting to him, I didn’t know what to say but I wanted to help this guy so I prayed for him to be able to tell me (I’m open minded about religion but I haven’t been to church in ages) the very next day he told me everything and we had a chat about it. I also dreamt that we had a stupid argument and I remember waking up thinking that’s the last person I would be having an argument with. Sure enough the next time I saw him, in the place I dreamt it we had an argument. We made up the next day (in fact he spent 2 days apologising!). We're now really good friends and I don’t know what I’d do without him. He always says hello when he sees me and never ignores me if I talk to him. He seems to know what i’m thinking before I say anything and we agree on pretty much everything. I suppose my question is that, is there such thing as friendships that are meant to be so to speak? I really value his friendship and he has been there for me too. It’s just been playing on my mind and I wanted to know what other people thought. Thanks

Hi there. We all meet people in our lives who we just click with right from the start.
It's probably no coincidence that this happens. All things happen in life for a reason.
You might have just met this man, and will be life time friends from this point on.
Consider it to be special.
Dreams can sometimes foretell something coming up for us.
It really depends on what your relationship is. Is it friendship or is it something more?
In any case, over time all will be revealed, as with all things like this.
It's good that you do get along, seeing as though you have to work together.

 google 'kizmit' this is a big question and one that no one has really got a definite answer to, but you believe whatever you want to believe. its great to meet a good friend though, one who you know will stick with you through life, so whether its meant to be or not, just enjoy it coz REALLY good friends don't come around all that often!
