writes:Fate, coincidence, luck.... Please read, something happened to me and I would like your thoughts...So I was having a really tough couple of weeks with work, family and things going wrong with my house and the last straw was when I was getting ready to go to a friends house for dinner and she cancelled last minute. I was about to get in my car to go to do some food shopping as I had nothing to eat when another friend of mine who works as a beautician in a hotel close to me texted me to say she had a cancellation and if I wanted she could do my nails. Of course I jumped at the chance and drove to the hotel.After 40 minutes of pampering and a good chat I was heading out when I heard a guy call my name... He was a senior staff member at my old job who left 2 years ago. We had always got on well (nothing ever happened between us, he was married and I was seeing someone). He mentioned that he was in town for training (the training was being held at this hotel) and his colleague was meant to be joining him for dinner but was having a crisis at home so had remained in his room, talking to his partner.He then asked if I would like to join him for dinner instead! I did and we had a good catch up. He told me he was now divorced and about his new job etc... He asked if I was still with my BF, which I'm not anymore.After dinner we exchanged numbers and promised to keep in touch... In fact I'mmeeting him next week for a drink and before I left he said "this must be fate... I was about to go upstairs and order room service and then saw you."Now I'm intrigued to know if this was fate....1. I should have been having dinner with my friend who cancelled.2. My beautician friend just txt me out of the blue ( the last contact I had with her was 3 days before and I was whining about what a rubbish fortnight it had been).3. Of all the hotels in my town- why this one?4. His colleague should have been having dinner with him but was dealing with an issue at home.5. He was about to go up to his room at the same moment I was leaving...I have to admit I was always attracted to this guy and colleagues noticed how he'd act around me, there was a mutual attraction but as I said before he was married and I'mno way a home-wrecker!What do you think? It this fate?

To anonymous guy: he got divorced 2 years ago- that's the reason left the company so he could be closer to his son. Previous to that they were seprated 5 months.
I'm not expecting a happily ever after I just was intrigued to people's view about how it all happened as I do believe in fate but it could have been coinsindence... Wish me luck!! X

 hi
Its like something out of a Rom Com, I think it sounds like fate. So many things could have happened to stop the meeting,instead a series of things that you hadn't planned lead to where you were.
I hope it has a happy ending,enjoy your date!

 Fate or not, you like each other so why not give it a go. My boyfriend and I met in a "fate-like" way, but I don't really believe in meant-to-be stuff. I don't see any reason to not go out with him, fate or not. Have fun!

 I love stories like this. If it's fate? Depends on what you believe. Some people only believe in coincidence, some believe in fate and everything happens for a reason. I believe in fate, not in a way like because this happened it means he is your soulmate or anything, but that everything happened the way it did so you could meet up with him again. For some reason it was all meant to be a terrible day so you would cross paths, all too coincidental for me so there must be fate. But that's just me. Have fun with him :)

 Well, everything happens for a reason doesn't it? I'm not a staunch believer in fate (as you call it), but God must have meant it that way :). Bless you and make sure you don't lose hold of this opportunity! Keep us updated all right! Xoxo

I'd probably be a lot more concerned with that because it's not uncommon for a recently divorced guy to want to play the field for awhile and not get too attached. What may seem like fate to you is more than likely a short term opportunity for him.

 As I read it it sounds like the romance section in a woman's magazine, only you write it in a way that's not rosy and optimistic. You are not a home wrecker because both of you are single now. In a romance novel it always seems to end well. In reality you never know but because this is a coincidence you feel like you just have to give it a shot.

 Is this Fate??: maybe.! But who cares. The point is u like him, and by the looks he likes u too. So if u like him, take the chance have the drink with him and see where it leads. All that matters is if you both like each other.Good luck.xx
