Fate playing games?

April 17 2011

Not sure if this is the right section, but amyway... Since my last thread I have been having a lot of fun out of work (drunks are still a no go, but there are plenty of women working at the venues where I work), but hadnt met anyone I would consider as anything more. I decided to get out of here, so I have given notice to my boss, endedthe lease on my house etc to move down to NSW at the end of the month. I even have another job lined up and have paid the bond on a new place down there. Then I met someone who seems perfect for me; smart, funny sexy, and able to hold a good conversation. Now im not going to cancel my plans, its too late now anyway and I have only known this girl for a bit over a week. In no way am I depressed or feeling sorry for myself either, but it is extremely frustrating just knowing that I would have planned everything differently if I had met her a week earlier. I havent even told her im moving yet, but there is definitely something there and it would just cause unnecessary drama to go any further. So thats what has me angry. My question is, has anyone else had something like this happen? Not just this specific situation, but has anyone made a life changing plan only to find fate introduce something new at the worst possible time like this? I have never even been a big believer in fate, but its just annoying. And if it does exist, its an asshole.

    I don't believe in settling for what fate has in store for me. I mean to say, you make your own nest. Let me put it this way... You're entitled to change your mind.... (you can attribute it to your youthfulness... whereas if I was in that situation I could say it was a midlife crisis... I mean, any lame excuse is good enough). See if you can reverse some of these decisions and then see where "fate" takes you.Life changing decisions ~ just make another one!HugsStalky

    Bear with me here if this sounds a little like airy fairy feng shui voodoo bullshit but do you think maybe you were putting out a little vibe that you were open for and working toward new experiences and that's what drew this opportunity to you?I guess what i'm saying is, don't look at this as a negative that you're leaving this person behind or it's bad timing, etc. Look at it as a confirmation that you've made the right decision, you're 'open' and this is the kind of good thing that you can expect to come heading your way now that you've put your foot on the path of taking charge of your own happiness and making things happen rather than treading water waiting for opportunities to come to YOU.Keep your eyes and mind open and enjoy your new start!xx Sarah

    They had been together for a few weeks or so, not too long anyway, she was a nurse and her and her 2 friends were off to Europe for travel, then the UK for 2 years of work... She went, it was all locked in b4 she met her man. Even thou she was moving from one place to the next he called her and spoke for stupid amounts of hours!! Unthinkable she lasted overseas for no more than 6 weeks? On their 6 months anniversary they where engaged and the next year married, now have two kids and are VERY happy! So I suppose if it is meant to be it will happen no matter what u choose? :)

    Interesting as I have lived on a few different continents and whether it's a relationship or any number of the things life can throw at you...they do sometimes seem to hit at the last mintue. Of course I am a big believer in luck and fate...chasing dreams and stars seems to be one of the things I do best. | What is it they say... "The master only appears when the student is ready", so maybe this is just one of those challenges along the way that will help you confirm your faith in the decisions that you have already made and challenge some of the new things that have come into your life. | The world is not that big of a place anymore...so maybe, just maybe you can follow on with both? I don't think you have to give up one for the other, it's just a challenge and maybe a test...and if this is that one very unique person in your life, play the cards that you are dealt and bet on all of them. |Fate and luck are strange companions at times...you could be gettting exactly what you need and want at exactly the right time. | Run with your intuition, just go for it all...if you chase a few stars and along the way come up with a few handfuls of stardust now and then, maybe it isn't such an asshole after all? | Heads you win and tails you win... | ...sounds like pretty good odds to me.

    From "Terminator 2" but I think Sarah Connor was talking in a broader sense of the word? Global if you like? . Yes, Chuzzwozza, I've had this dilemma before and it's a doozie. In your case, you know what the alternatives are, ask her to join you...... you know what they are/will be. Many a good friend of mine has regretted losing a good woman, not taking it to the enth and so on. And me too, and now you too. It happens. It will turn out the right way coz that will be the way it turns out. There is always the realization there is a good match for you, and whether you end up together is entirely up to the two of you. Good Luck (if there's such a thing as luck?)

    She is young and very innocent (especially compared to me), but quirky, cute and smart. Shes not even 19 yet and has been very sheltered by her overprotective mother, so it would certainly not be right to try tying her down in a long distance relationship, but I will certainly be staying in contact. Im not a big "fate" person, but I tend to take everything in stride and keep going forward, so I guess thats what i'll do here.
