15 yrs ago I was travelling and met someone. We clicked immediately. For the next month we were together daily. Our friendship was platonic but the chemistry between us was undeniable.
At the end of the month we parted ways and eventually we each went home. He lived on the U.S. West coast and I lived on the Canadian East coast. Several months later I went to visit him for a week. We took things up half a level - beyond "just friends" but not too beyond, if you know what I mean. Then I went back home.
He wanted to see if we could try a LDR but I said no. He was leaving for Asia in a few months and I was staying in Canada. We both had independent lives and we were both so young. It seemed silly to try and make any kind of commitment to each other IMO. But I said that I had no problem keeping in touch. (Back then there was only snail mail, lol).
We kept in touch for a short time but then months went by without any word. In the meantime, I left Canada and moved overseas. Years (maybe 5 years) went by and one day out of the blue, I got a postcard from my American friend. Somehow, he had found me. By this time he was living in the U.S. again. We were both single, never married and no kids. We joked that we were probably destined to end up with each other.
We continued to keep in touch for several months - this time via phone/email. I then moved back to Canada and as it turned out, although he was still in the U.S. he eventually moved to the East coast as well. So while we were still quite far from each other - we weren't as far as we used to be. We planned a meet one day - but then he backed out at the last minute. After our failed planned meeting he sent an email but I never responded to it. I ghosted. That was about 6 years ago.
Last night in chat we were talking about LDRs. When I went to bed I remembered my American friend, which was strange because I hadn't thought about him in ages.
This morning I checked my email. Guess who wrote me an email asking if I remember him.

Cool let us know what happens! This is exciting and I just have a good feeling about it! Try not to be cynical ok? Have an open mind to the endless possibilities!

I don't want to take away from your story but I had a similar thing happen to me.

I definitely believe in karma and destiny. I see these types of coincidences and out-of-the-blue type situations as signs that I am following the correct life path - where it will lead though, I don't know. I thought of him yesterday for a reason, and he chose to reconnect that very same day. This was supposed to happen. Why though? Perhaps in time I'll understand.
I'm generally not comfortable with repeating private emails here on the board but truthfully, it really didn't say a whole lot. He asked if I remember him and asked what I've been up to. That's all. (He was never ever very wordy in letters and emails).
