Fate or coincidence?

Ok so I decided to post an ad on Craigslist in their personals section. Not something I normally do but I was bored and just wanted some new people to chat with. I posted it saying exactly that but kept everything private no pics no names nothing. After a week this guy answered askin if I was still available and sent a pic of himself he was cute so I responded. I sent a pic he complemented me then we exchanged numbers. As soon as we began talking we started realizing just how close we’ve been to each other over the years but we had never met till now. His mom was my teacher, they lived in a different town but he also went to my school for a short period of time, I grew up next door to his ex wife, and he’s friends and works with a guy I was in wreck with that almost killed me. Also previously to posting my ad I had just randomly thought how is this guy doing that I wrecked with and if I’d ever meet him. Nothing like this has ever happened to either of us. We’re completely comfortable around each other and never run out of anything to talk about. So do you think it’s coincidence or fate that he and I finally met?
