Do you beleive in fate or is it just luck?

Nope but scientists say it does exist :D
( There is no qualification for being a scientist, have mentioned in another thread that even those conspiracy nutters could claim themselves as scientists)

Maybe, maybe not but in a town of close to 300,000 people for the 1 person to come in to my work that I wanted to is pretty damn close :)

If it wasnt for her boss being an idiot, i probably never would have met her.

The thing was, you had seen her before, you knew she existed, so the odds or her being around your circle was far less than 1 in 300,000 to start with.

If you think of the odds of you being here and her being here, with each set of parents and grandparents and great grandparents having sex at a particular time and the chances that the one sperm that was you made it through, the odds of you even being here are trillions x trillions x trillions, meeting some random girl you liked the look off wasnt that much of a chance, even if it was a 1/150,000 (im assuming you werent bi).
 
As much as I would like to believe in fate I don't really think there is some sort of guiding force ensuring good or bad things happen. I would say that I do not believe in luck either, chance yes, but not luck.

A lot of the time people that are considered "lucky" tend to make their own luck and people that are "unlucky" tend to make their own bad luck.
 
luck. You met an amaing girl that you were instantly comatible with. There are billions of people on this planet and I assure you there are many more like her
 
This can be seen as a religion...
We all believe in something for a reason. I personally do not believe in Religions or Fate, i sometimes question myself and then relaise it just happens this way because it does.
 
What an interesting few weeks this has been, Following my previous post 2 weeks ago where I met up with someone who I had fancied for months for the first time. Well 2 weeks down the line things are going insanely well so well infact we actually discussed about moving in togeather.

To say im happy is a huge understatement, she is definately 1 in a million :)

So do I believe in fate, yep, certainly believe that things happen for a reason!
 
Whilst I still disagree with you, I'm glad things are going well. However, a word of advice as you will be seeing things through rose-tinted blinkers at the moment: slow down. Moving in after two weeks is never a good idea.
 
i would have never met my fiancee if 3 years earlier i didn't sit next to a guy from my class a week or so into my college course and said hello ,we became now best friends and he took me to a club i would have never have gone to otherwise and its were i met her.

And I'd have never have bought a pint of milk if it wasn't for the traffic-lights being too slow and deciding to walk a different way home for a change.

What's your point?
 
The point is that things do happen for a reason, in your example, why were the lights slow at that particular time on that day at the exact moment you were passing. Maybe you were destined to get that pint of milk..

I know most of the time its just coincidence, but in some cases there can be millions of variables and you just happen to be the lucky one. For me it was simply of the 350,000 people that could walk into my work, she just happened to be one of them.
 
Mathematically speaking, it's a series of pseudo-random events which lead to a chance meeting of two people who form a relationship.
Nothing more sinister or mystical than that!

Depending upon the long term outcome of the relationship, one could put it down to good or bad fortune! ;)

You're saying that some things happen for a reason and some things don't - is that a fair summation? What makes the reason? Is it karma? A guiding influence of a deity? Cosmic chance?

It's possible that things happen for a reason and that there is a grand scheme in which we all fit into but why is it discriminatory? What makes "this" event worthy of being considered as intended/fate and "that" event as just coincidence?
