Maybe this happens to everyone.
That actually was my first thought. But why would you stand out to him? Are you hot, too? lol. I guess he became familiar with. your face, when you were working at that first gym.

This is really very odd. I live in a much, much smaller city and I rarely see the same people like that. I don't even run into people I went to school with all that often. You should talk to that guy.

Kind of like if someone moved from Hollywood, to West Hollywood, then to Beverly Hills. So if he's like me and likes the general neighborhoods in that corridor could make sense why he moves around as I do.

300 miles away? Impossible.

You're a writer?

This guy you keep seeing everywhere didn't by chance save you from a snowy car wreck did he?
If so, did he ever happen to discuss the term uh...."hobbling" or anything strange like that?

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I'll be watching you.

I think so, too. There have been too many synchronicities happening and shouldn't be ignored.

I live in one of the largest cities in the country, more than 8 million people in the metro area. And there is this man that keeps crossing paths with me the last 14 years:

-14 years ago when I was working at a gym part-time in college in the same 8 million plus city, this man was a member at the gym. I worked at the front desk so I knew faces well. This gym was in the downtown of my city. He's an extremely handsome guy so he always caught my attention. Anyway nothing weird about that.

-A few years later at a gym 5 miles from downtown, I started seeing him work out at this gym that I was a member of (I had left that part-time a long time ago). Nothing odd, but just coincidence.

-Around that time I was on a boat cruise, and low and behold who was there? Him.

-Fast forward a couple of years later, I left my city to go to grad school in another city. It's about 300 miles away. One day at lunch in the college town, who do I see there eating lunch? This guy.

-I move back to the city after grad school, and then within one summer I see him in 2 bars with what appeared to be his girlfriend. This when I started to notice a pattern.

-I move to a neighborhood in the city some years later to where I never lived before. I join the local gym and who do I see there is also a member? Him again.

-I left that gym after a couple of years. So then I moved to a neighborhood further out, maybe like 2 miles away and who do I see at my local bar with another woman? Him again.

-Then it had been years, and I mean maybe like a good 3 years since I have saw him. I actually completely forgot he existed. This was maybe a few weeks ago, I was working remotely from a random coffee shop, and who is also there working at the coffee shop? This guy. The funny thing is when we both saw each other we each paused and gave a look of "You again?"

-Coincidentally, today in downtown, just a few weeks since the last sighting, I am walking back to the office from lunch, as I am walking down the street who do I see pass me by? Him. And again he we both looked at each other bewildered.

If we lived in a small town this wouldn't be weird and would make sense. But I have so many friends and family that live here, and I rarely bump into them. A good friend of mine lives a couple blocks away and I never bump into him in the neighborhood. But being this is a large city of 8+million people it's just so bizarre. It's just nuts how this guy keeps crossing my path.

I almost feel like it's a sign of something (and I don't mean romantic).
First of all this is a possible 14 year stalker?
I don't think so.

You mention that "He's an extremely handsome guy so he always caught my attention". I think that you travel in similar circles. It sounds like you are both single live in the same area and tend to go where singles congregate. Men know when a woman is attracted to them as you clearly are. The only way to meet this man is through a friend. You still might become another notch on his bedpost, but when there is a third party involved you might be more relaxed.

Believe me if he was married with children and living in the burbs you would never see him.
