writes: Have you ever seen the same person over the past few years? When I was 22 I went to my very first hookah bar with my best friend, I was having a blast! But while I was in there two guys came in and sat across from me and my best friend. They were nice but we didn't talk much, we just listen to music and took pictures of eachother. But me and one of the guys kept stating at eachother all night but I was having too much fun to say something, plus I was very shy back than. A couple of months later I'm back at college, somewhat excited. The class I'm taking is anatomy and the professor is amazing. As I'm sitting in class, looking at everyone that's in my class, that same guy walks in class and sits 5 seats down from me. I'm staring at him like wow, you again. He just stares at me but says nothing. So the class is over for the semester, I seen him at a soda machine talking to a group of girls. My friend calls him over and we talk but only about the semester and how happy we are it's over. The next semester I seen him a couple of times but I didn't say anything and neither did he. Now at 24, I got this new job which I love so far. As I was walking outside of the mall, I seen the same guy once again. So I was looking like wow, weird. So the next week, I went to my next job and my manager is giving me a tour of the store, as I come down stairs I see him again. I was shocked because I didn't know he worked there. He stared at me the whole day, now it's time for everyone to go home. He introduced himself to me in front of our coworkers. There was a job party that same night and he told me I should come alone and have fun but I didn't go because I was going to my 2nd job. At work, he does talk to me and ask me questions about what I like and vice versa. He does still stare at me to the point that I wave at him but that's about it. Now, is that a coincidence? I definitely don't believe he's stalking me haha. He is very cute but dating a coworker is something I never did or tired too. I think it ends up being horrible, plus im dating someone. Has anyone else ever seen the same person over the past few years? Does that mean that person is someone you get to know? Or do I just have to much time on my hands to be thinking about this? Haha

I think it's just coincidence more than anything. I live in a small town and have had similar things happen a few times.

There are probably lots of other people you might see fairly often but because you don't have an attraction to them, you pay little attention.

It just means it's a small world, really. I've had this happen too, and while it's amusing and fun, you shouldn't read too much into it. I have the same experience going on for about a decade now, lol. There's this man I've been seeing around/crossing paths with since I was in my late teenages. We always end up staring at each other, I guess because he also recognizes me, and neither have any idea who the other is, but we have seen each other so many times now we always just stop and think "wait, do I know this person or not...??" because we look familiar to one another.
I came close to introducing myself a couple years ago, but thought it would just be weird. After all, I have no idea who he is and don't have any connection to him. But you have inspired me, next time I will say hi to him! Just for the heck of it, lol.
