Do you think this could be true, sometimes?

No.

TheSnowyOwl · 28/05/2022 19:59

Another no here.

Snowiscold · 28/05/2022 20:00

No.

Yes! It happened for me. After years apart I started to wonder how this person was. Composed letters in my head to write and ask. Never did but lo & behold this person got in touch. I was so pleased. Totally amazed.
We had a lovely catch up & since then it’s all faded away again but that’s not a problem.

No!
Make it happen and contact them or move on!
Live your life yourself - don't rely on this sort of thinking!

No. It can just seem that way. Most relationships have an unconscious expectation of contact at certain intervals and when that interval has passed both simultaneously think its time for contact. Hence all the 'I was just about to text you...' moments.

KylieCharlene · 28/05/2022 20:47

No

Braveasfook · 28/05/2022 20:47

Yes. The world works in mysteries ways. They may not contact you but , if you are thinking about them.. they are defo thinking about you. The passage of time will eventually show you .

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 28/05/2022 20:48

No.

TabithaTittlemouse · 28/05/2022 20:49

Sometimes I think about wine a lot.

and then I drink it.

pictish · 28/05/2022 20:51

Nah

Inklingpot · 28/05/2022 20:52

Of course not.

FlibbertyGiblets · 28/05/2022 20:52

Nope.

thefirstmrsrochester · 28/05/2022 20:56

No

It's referred to as "The law of attraction". I think you'll find this book very interesting if you believe in it.

amillionrosepetals · 28/05/2022 21:07

No, I don't believe this is true. When this seems to happen it's just coincidence.

SO224350 · 28/05/2022 21:08

They're not thinking about you at all

Spitescreen · 28/05/2022 21:11

Don’t be silly, OP. If that happened, the guy you obsessed about st the bus stop she’d fifteen would have been equally obsessed with you.

dropthevipers · 28/05/2022 21:28

Yes, and I can probably interest you in a bridge I have for sale.

Left · 28/05/2022 21:52

Maybe coincidentally.

Never deliberately.

Windmillwhirl · 29/05/2022 06:02

Well, Colin Farrell seems to be taking his time.

FloraGreysteel · 29/05/2022 06:27

Of course not!

layladomino · 29/05/2022 08:32

Of course not. Sometimes you call someone and they say 'I was just about to call' but that is a coincidence. There will have been many more times when you called that person and they weren't about to call. Statistically, sometimes it will happen at the same time.
Just no.

Marineboy67 · 29/05/2022 08:38

No I'm afraid not, if they do it's purely coincidental. No higher ethereal plain, your born, you live, you die! That's it....

It's only happened to me once and it was very weird. I made really good friends with a girl in my gap year. We went everywhere together. Then I went off to uni and she got a job in another town. I visited her once but the changes in our lives at that stage meant we drifted apart. About four years later, my parents' landline rang when I was at their house and as my mum went to pick it up, I said really calmly, 'Oh I'll get it, It's T, for me.' I picked up the phone and said, 'Hi T,' before she even spoke. She was astounded, but I'd had this really odd moment of absolute clarity that it was her.

I've had similar moments since (not to do wiht people getting in touch but with premonitions of what is about to happen and then it does). It's incredibly rare, and they always come accompanied by a feeling of immense calm. I'd love them to happen more often. or to be able to summon them.
