Do you believe in fate or is it all just coincidence?

So, in a previous post (“My secret love”), I told you about a chap I’ve met online. Perhaps I’m being a bit too weird when I say I think we were put in each other’s path for a reason?

Maybe he needed to meet someone older who had more life experience and therefore more patience, understanding and compassion. Maybe I needed to meet someone younger to prove that I was still ‘fanciable’ and wasn’t dead below the waist (if you get my meaning!)

I don’t know, it’s just odd. He was on this particular website already at the time I joined. He contacted me because he liked my profile picture. He lives miles away from me, and I was only searching around my local area, so I wouldn’t have come across his profile. Something made me NOT ignore his initial hello. I went back to his profile several times before deciding to respond. When we eventually met up we clicked big time, and the rest, as they say, is history.

And now something is stopping me from calling it a day. It feels like I’ve been at this point before and made the wrong decision. I’m really scared about losing him. Terrified is probably a better way of putting it. The words in my head are “I can’t lose you again”. Again?? Where did that come from? Past lives?….hell, I don’t know!

Can it all be explained away as simply a series of coincidences or mere chance? I’d be interested in what you all think about this sort of stuff.
