Friend of a friend looking for love.
Uses a dating site, meets up with a guy.
They get on very well and she thinks this might go somewhere so tells him she has a young son.
By coincidence he thinks this might go somewhere and tells her he has a young daughter.
They find their kids are the same age.
Born in different countries on exactly the same date.
How about that then ?

That's pretty interesting. So the kids could become step siblings right? And theyd have the same birthday together every year. A life changing experience fir the kids, basically gaining sibling.

Coincidences aren't always what they appear to be - e.g. the 'Birthday Problem' ! Birthdays
But ....My cousin (who I'd not seen for 30 years or so) just moved into my area from 300 miles away, and when viewing a house to buy, he bumped into another prospective buyer who turned out to have gone to school with me, again 300+ miles away. |

I used to hang around two girls whose birthdays were on consecutive dates. Caused me loads of trouble over the years. And I still mix their birthday up when congratulating them on their birthday even after all these decades.

Very strange.
When I was a kid, I had a dream about my Dad falling off a ladder, the following week as he was cleaning out the guttering, the ladder my Dad had just come down from, slipped and it is only the speed of my cousin catching it, that it didn't hit anyone when it dropped.
I thought that was rather coincidental and spooky.

One that happened to me.
About 10 years after I left school, walking along in SE London near my office. I see one of my mates from school.
I'm suited, he wearing normal clothes as he is an artist renting locally. Had a good catch up.
Few months later I'm walking along in EC London on my 'patch'
I spot the very same bloke !
He moved and now lives around the corner.

I made friends with a Belgian chap many years ago. He lives in Lokeren.
A couple of years later, I was in Reading and came across him in the High Street. What are the odds?

If it's about coming across people you knew from years previously, then I have one of the oddest of them all.
When I was in my teens in the tropics, I once used to act as the odd job person for a call girl. It included running about for her to get drinks, drugs etc for her visiting clients. That was in South America. Decades later I went to a show at a hotel in South Kensington. And from all the person I could have expected to meet from anywhere in the world, it was the same call girl from all those years ago. She had changed her name, got married, and joined a band with her husband. Suffice to say we did not talk about the old days, other than mention that we had lived in the same neigbourhood and that I still called her by her nick name (which was in fact her real name).

I looked in on a hi-fi forum, and people were arguing about cables and fuses. I then went to a completely different hi-fi forum and exactly the same arguments were going on there. How spooky is that?  |

It's just an up to date version of belt versus direct drive debates  |

I have married twice. Both wives didn't like chocolate. Before that, I didn't think there was a woman on the planet who didn't like chocolate I met Sue internet dating. We chatted online and agreed to meet the same week - a complete exception for both of us. Sue was frustrated that I was due to go away that week skiing with my good friend Glenn(was best man at our wedding), and his wife Fiona and children - who I spent every Friday evening with in the George and Dragon pub, with my kids and had done so for years. Sue's children went to school with Glenn and Fiona's children and G&F had been friends with Sue and her ex for 15 years. Yet although both mixing in very close circles, we knew nothing of each other and met online We got married on 19th July - Glenn's birthday - so , as was traditional , I had to play golf on the morning of my wedding |

Oh yes, another one I had forgotten about;
My Auntie's name is Chris, she's married to Paul. Chris was born on 13th of the month on a Friday and Paul was born on the 29th of the month on a Saturday.
My wife's name is Christina, Chris for short, she was born on the 13th of the month on a Friday and I, Paul was born on the 29th of the month on a Saturday.
Strange huh!

My sister-in-law's son has the same birthday as my sister and my sister's son has the same birthday as my sister-in-law.
My wife's birthday is the same day I arrived in the UK in 1999. I met her 2 years later.

My daughter, Emily, was born on the same day (different year) as 'See Emily Play' was recorded.
