The summer after my senior year of high school I started dating one of my best female friends. It was working out relatively well, but it was clear that I had much stronger feelings for her than she did for me. She broke up with me after a month or so, saying that she didn'​t want to have a boyfriend when she left for college because it would hurt too much to leave me behind. I was upset, but agreed to revert back to being just friends.

Not more than three days later, I found out that she was dating another guy, who I had previously been suspicious of while we were dating. I called her and said some things (some of which I regret) that most assuredly ended our friendship for good.

After having lost both a girlfriend and a best friend in one fell swoop, I left for college at the end of the summer depressed and rueful. I spent the semester wishing I had done things differently and regretting the decisions I had made in the previous months.

By winter break, I was ready to come home. On New Years Eve, I went with my friend Andrew to a huge party in LA, and I met a girl there. We danced, joked, and laughed together pretty much the whole night. As fate would have it, this girl happened to be the ex of the guy that my ex left me for in the beginning of the summer. We connected right away, and after a few weeks we started dating.

It'​s been one year and fifteen days since New Years Eve when I met my girlfriend, and we are still dating (and I heard through the grapevine that my ex and my girlfriend'​s ex had broken up because she cheated on him. Glad I got out of that one early!) We even go to the same school together now, and we have plans to move in together at the end of this school semester. I love her more and more every day, and she loves me too.

This was without a doubt the greatest, most life changing coincidence of my life. Thank you coincidink.com for giving me a venue to share my story!

Met my husband because of fate-driven coincidence!

My senior year at Brookfield High School (CT) my girlfriends decided to take a tip to Cancun. A trip in which I didn'​t go. While they were there, my friends met a bunch of Army guys and hung out with them the whole time.

A year and a half later this same group of girlfriends decided to take another trip. This trip would be to Myrtle Beach, SC and this time I was not going to miss it! On our long drive from Connecticut to Myrtle we passed a sign on the highway that read "​Fayettev​ille."​ My friends were screaming that the guys they met in Cancun were from there and that they should call them to meet us in Myrtle. That they did and the guys met us there the next day.

Four guys walked in the door that evening and right away I could not keep my eyes off one of them- Ben. Ben, like me was not on the Cancun trip with the everyone else. We clicked right away and have been together since.

Now, five years later, after a cross country long distance relationship (for four years) and 3 deployments (to Iraq, the Philippines and Afghanistan)....I am happily married to my soulmate.

Who would have ever thought that my crazy 18 year old girlfriends on spring break would lead me to the man I would later marry? Life Changing Coincidence...I think so :)

Last summer I was in the San Diego airport heading back to college. I ran into an old high school teacher and we started talking. She told me she was back in San Diego visiting friends, and that her family had recently moved to Amherst. My face lit up as I told her I go to school at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst! My 10th grade high school teacher and I shared two flights together on the way back to the small town of Amherst. What a Coincidink!

I had parked and locked our company truck in our private parking lot at 6pm. At 7:15pm I was at a local ice cream parlor with my brother and his friend and to my BIG SURPRISE, someone drove our truck right by us while we were waiting in line for our treats.

We called the police and tried to follow the truck but we were too late. Because we knew the whereabouts of the truck and the direction that it was headed the police were able to find it and arrest the culprit. What a loser to steal the truck and drive right by its owner totally by coincidence!

I'​d like to preface this by saying this could be the funniest and most important "​coincidi​nk"​ of all time.
It happened about two years ago during my freshman orientation for UMass. Keep in mind my main goal at orientation was to find a sweet roommate. That'​s when I met Danny Abrahams from Massachusetts. So me and Danny got to talking and eventually he asks me, "​Do you know anybody from your high school who'​s coming to UMass?"​
Being from New York, I only knew one person. I replied, "​I do. I know one girl but she is the filthiest, most disgusting person I'​ve ever met. She'​s huge, hairy and smells like ass every single day."​
Danny laughed and said, "​Wow that'​s weird. I know someone from my summer camp in Mass. who'​s probably ten times worse than whoever you'​re describing. You don'​t understand this girl is the nastiest of the nasty."​
After arguing for the next five minutes about which girl was more hideous, Danny asked me, "​What'​s her name?"​
I said, (name changed for private purposes) "​Gertude."​
"​Mueller??!"​, Danny said.
In a crazy twist, we were talking about the same person who we knew from a great distance apart.
We proceeded to laugh for the next 20 minutes. We'​ve been roommates ever since.
Thank you Gertrude.

My Aunt, Joy Prizio, went to Italy to visit one of her friends when she was 23. In Italy they ended going to a party where she met her future husband whose name happened to be Peter Prizio. After discovering they were in no way, shape, or form related, they hit it off

My wife an I were in Chicago for a getaway weekend. While we were walking south on Michigan Avenue I noticed one of those honorable street signs and this one says Paul Harvey Way. At which point I said to my wife, look Paul Harvey and she says where? As I start to explain I was talking about the sign, I look below, who is standing there ready to cross the street? Paul Harvey.

Good Day!

My neighbors have been our close family friends for the past ten years. My family consists of three girls. Two of which are named Ali (me) and Hannah. Oddly enough, our neighbors also have girls;​ Ali and Hannah. Both Alis are the same age as well as both the Hannahs. If that'​s not enough of a coincidence, my parents share the same anniversary as theirs!

Went to urologist. Doctor in the practice named Weiner.

Summer of 2007 I went on a cruise to Alaska with my family. There were a bunch of high school kids around my age, so we all hung out the whole time. This one guy named Scott caught my eye the first day, so we hung out and ended up being pretty much inseparable the rest of the trip. By the end of the cruise we were head over heels for each other, but there was one problem... I had to go back to California and he lives in Virginia. When I got home school started, and I had plans to go to Virginia in a few months. There was a girl who had just moved here who sat next to me in English, and I overheard her saying she was from Virginia. When I asked her where in Virginia she simply said, "​You wouldn'​t know where it is, it'​s such a small town."​ Low and behold she and the guy I was in love with were from the same little town and knew ALL of the same people, they even knew who each other were. The girl is now one of my best friends. To make things weirder, Scott and I went our separate ways, and he now has a girlfriend... THAT MY BEST FRIEND KNOWS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
