Signs that you have 'crossed paths chemistry' with someone

Have you ever been in a situation where you find yourself running into the same person time and again, almost as if the universe is giving you a sign that the two of you have more than just a connection. It could be a stranger at the coffee shop, or a passenger who takes the same bus as you. There is an undeniable spark that makes you feel drawn to them in a way that words cannot explain. What we’re talking about is ‘crossed paths chemistry’—a magnetic energy between two people who keep bumping into each other unexpectedly, creating an almost serendipitous connection.

Having said that, it’s important to know if this is just a coincidence or something deeper. Here’s some signs that indicate you having ‘crossed paths chemistry’ with someone. 

You keep running into each other: One of the most obvious signs of crossed paths chemistry is the repeated, seemingly accidental meetings. Whether it’s in your neighbourhood, social gatherings or somewhere completely random, you find yourselves constantly in the same space. While this could be pure coincidence, when it happens multiple times, it often feels like you were destined to meet (again). Imagine you meet someone at a bookstore, and you bump into them at a yoga class or pub a week later. Then, a month later, you find yourselves on the same flight. At some point, you have to wonder—are these random meetings, or is something deeper at play?

Instant recognition and comfort: Even if you've never spoken before, there’s a strange sense of familiarity when you see this person. It feels as if you know them already, even though you just met. There's none ofl the usual awkwardness that comes with meeting someone new.

You say a lot without saying anything: There’s something about the way you interact with this person that feels different from the rest of your encounters. You can communicate without saying much, exchanging glances or smiles that seem to convey entire conversations. You pick up on their energy, moods, and feelings without them saying anything.

A strong sense of déjà vu: You feel like you’ve been here before—with this person. Maybe it’s a conversation that feels very familiar or a specific moment that gives you déjà vu. Some people believe this could be a sign of past-life connections, while others see it as an indication of an inevitable bond forming. An example here would be the first time you go out but it feels like you’ve done this before (and had a lot of fun doing it).

You can’t stop thinking about them: Even when you’re not around them, you can’t stop thinking about them. There’s an unexplained pull that makes you want to learn more about them, be near them, or find reasons to talk to them. You find yourself on the lookout for the next time you get to be with them.

Free-flowing conversations: With some people, conversations can feel forced, but with this person, everything just clicks. You don’t have to think of what to say next because the dialogue flows effortlessly. You can talk for hours without running out of things to say. Time flies, and neither of you wants to leave.

You have a lot of things in common: You start to notice small but meaningful commonalities between you. Maybe you both love the same band, or you share the same hobby. This creates an added sense of connection and reinforces the idea that you’re meant to be in each other’s lives in some way.

You’re energised around them: After spending time with them, you feel a sense of excitement and energy, as if you’ve been recharged. Being around them lifts your mood and leaves you feeling invigorated. You could meet them for lunch on a day when you’re feeling drained, but after an hour together, you leave the conversation feeling inspired and full of life.

They appear in your dreams: Sometimes, our subconscious picks up on connections before we consciously realise them. If this person frequently appears in your dreams, it could be a sign that your mind is trying to process the significance of your encounters with them. 

Having ‘crossed paths chemistry’ is much more than just random encounters. They’re feelings of connection, recognition, and purpose. While it’s up to you to decide what to do with these moments, acknowledging and embracing them can lead to incredible relationships, friendships, and even life-changing experiences. So the next time you keep running into the same person and feel that undeniable spark, pay attention. For you never know where it might lead.
