Honestly yes, universal law right. I've matched with two people that I intentionally wanted to match with.

One was a person who I cut contact with but then wanted to reach out but I didn't have their number anymore. So I thought to myself it would be cool to match with them so I could message them there, then I kinda just let the thought go and within 15 mins of thinking that he came up on tinder and we ended up matching. (Although never hung out but I know the universe had my back there)

The second was someone I knew of & and seen them around. I wanted to talk to them in person but I didn't know them and felt awkward to just go up to them. Like I had been eyeing this person for MONTHS. I didn't have a tinder account for most of this time period. When I did create an account I though to myself that the main reason for getting on tinder was to match with him. Like just thought how great it would be to know he's interested as well and then could start a conversation from there. Again I kinda let the thought go, and just mindlessly swiped for a few weeks. One night his profile come up and we ended up matching as well and I'm still over the moon about it.
