Do you believe in signs?

I'm not a woo person at all. But starting to feel like there might be something in this...

Do you believe in signs or do you think you might just notice things more at certain points depending on what's going on in life?

I recently split up with partner, since then every programme I've watched has someone with either his name or job in it. In talking to people without fail someone mentions the town he lives (not the same place I live), talks about someone with the same name as him or mentions something similar. I took the dog to the park this morning for our usual walk, she's 2 so I've been to the same park countless times never see anyone apart from dog walkers/kids/sports teams - the usual people you'd expect to see. This morning a car was driving up the path behind me, not a public path but for the park itself so not generally used, it stopped not too far in front of me and a person got out who had the same job as my ex partner - won't say what it is but a uniformed job so no mistaking it and not someone you'd usually see wandering round a park in a uniform. Am I being crazy starting to think the universe is trying to tell me I should be with him?!

Logically I know it's because I'm thinking about him and probably just noticing these things more because they're on my mind but it's starting to feel a bit more than coincidence especially with what happened this morning.

This is lighthearted btw, I'm not going to get back together with him because of this he doesn't want to anyway but just wondered if anyone else had felt similar before.

I believe in signs but I think you might read too much into this. I think you are hurting and something inside you still wants him back. Don’t know why you split up btw so don’t know whether you still love him but it seems like you do.

Is this not similar to seeing babies, prams and pushchairs when you have unwanted pregnancy scare in your teens?

It's the same when you buy a new car. You see the same car everywhere or cars the same colour.

You've put your finger on it in your own post - you're just hyper-sensitised to anything to do with him. When you're pregnant, or desperately want to be and can't, or are afraid you might be, literally the entire world is crammed with ads for Pregnacare and Clearblue, and the streets are entirely populated with pregnant women, or men carrying cute newborns in carriers etc etc.

The universe is definitely not telling you anything, and even if it were, you know your own mind best. Good luck.
