tinktronik Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I have this strange thing that keeps happening to me. Ill date a guy and then we split then years later I'll be dating someone new who just happens to have a new client named -such n such- and it just happens to be my old b/f . another time I was dating a guy and he happened to get one of my old b/f for his new boss ,in a completely different country than I had dated him in.The one other time I was seeing someone who had had an affair it turned out with one of my old b/f wife.This is crazy , surely the world isent this small..Am I subconciously doing something to cosmically get theese people to meet???It only sucks b/c then I have to be like oh by the way honey....
glittergurl Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Uhmmm, no. As my sociology prof used to say: "You were born, raised, and educated to fit in a certain group. Even though you feel free to interact with whoever you please, these three factors will always keep you within the same limited group, no matter where you go." I'm sure you meet people through people you already know, etc. You very quickly get to a full circle without even realizing it. It's happened to me before.
Author tinktronik Posted November 1, 2005 Author Posted November 1, 2005 well ,Im glad Im not alone here.Do you know how weird it is to be like "oh were going to a work picnic, and by the way I used to bang your boss?" Sheesh...
glittergurl Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Well, ehmmm, I haven't dated that many guys, and my husband is my first and only, so ehhh no I don't know what it feels like But I have already had some situations where it turned out that the people I was talking to actually knew one of my ex-dates. I felt very uncomfortable, I like to keep friends / exes / family / etc very well seperated, and I don't like when these groups start mixing I'm very "international" though : I practically live between 2 continents; and yet, it still happens. Not often though; but it's happened maybe 2 or 3 times in my whole life, and I'm sure it will happen again. I have to say, I think of my sociology prof every time my past shows up through new friends. He was so right.
