Do people meet other people for a reason?

"Do people meet other people for a reason?" I'm pretty much asking "Is there a reason for two or more people meeting each other?"

I'm asking this because recently I have been bugged by this question.

There's this guy that I met at the end of summer for a daytime summer camp for Computer Science (I'm a nerd) and I didn't even notice his existance until literally the last two hours. About sometime next month...I saw him again. At my school's orientation only one of many. Now I do virtual school so seeing a friend or someone you know is very slim especially if it's orientation because the admin tells you when your orientation is. And he noticed me...and waved. Lots of other unimportant stuff happened. I saw him AGAIN. At the NJHS/NHS induction ceremony. After I heard from my mom that he was also apart of the VERY SAME homeschool group I'm apart of ;-;

I did some "research" (don't judge me) and found a whole bunch more crazy coincidences and similarities between me and him that I started freaking out. I mean there were too many similarities for them to be simple coincidences, right? I mean he's really nice, but this is just really weird. Was there possibly some reason to why we met?

I'm sorry this is so much and so weird >_< But I'd like to know your thoughts, not just on my situation but in general if you think that people meet for reasons or not (please list why or why not you think this)
