[serious] Do you believe that you were destined to be with a certain person? Any stories lovers who were brought together under unusual/impossible curcumstances?

I met my boyfriend in October 2013. I was Sales and Marketing director for a hotel (at the time) and my boyfriend owned his own company and he was doing business in my town. 2hrs away and in a different state. Our very first conversation he mentioned I should move to Dayton because job market was good and I replied "I wouldn't know anyone there but you and I don't even know you". I liked him right away. I felt a connection. I couldn't explain it. He wasn't even my type but I felt something.

When I first met him I was wearing a green and black blouse. And I wouldn't wear it often but every time he would show up to my hotel I would be wearing it. One day... I kid you not I was heading out and I thought to myself I should change into the green blouse because what if he comes. I drove back home and changed and he showed up that night. He wasn't on some schedule about coming into town either. He would come once or twice a month but no set schedule.

I ended up giving him my business card as I thought he could use our meeting space maybe for a conference or something for his business. He texted me right when he got to his room. I liked him so much.

One time he came there and I wasn't there. It was winter of 2013/2014 and our pipes frozen etc we had no hot water and the front desk agent was so rude to him. I had no idea until one day I texted "hey" and he said he was never going back. I thought I lost him forever.

So fast forward April comes. Busy. Horse racing season etc. Our night Auditor took a vacation and I was the only one who knew really what to do. I have never worked an Audit on a Wednesday night. Ever. Out of norm. And then he shows up. My face lit up so did his... I was like "thought you weren't coming back here" he said his regular hotel sold out. He sat and talked with me until 2:30 am. I told him he needs to go to bed. The next week last minute I found myself working audit again...about 3 hours before the shift. Around 12:30 he walks in again. We talk until 5:45 am. I did absolutely no work. He told me about his gf of 3 months pushing him to marry him and his child's mother causing trouble. I never bothered to ask if he had a gf because I never wanted to know. We talked. I gave him advice. "Don't rush to marry someone you don't know"... I didnt hear from him all week then he texted one night saying he ended the relationship and he was out with friends. The next night someone told me to tell him how I felt so I did. I got bold. Sent him a long text etc... And replied "I had no idea you liked me. You never flirted" haha...

We went on our first date April 23rd...stayed the night together. And every weekend after we spent with each other. We would meet at a halfway point and spend the weekend at a hotel...we did this until about October when we started talking about me moving with him...nearly a year after our first conversation about me moving to Dayton. I moved in December ...and we are still together. I'm dating my best friend. There are other little things that are weird but we both know we were supposed to be with each other. (sorry it's long)
