The meetings at different gyms and bars are not that strange in my opinion. I would say that you both share similar interests.
I also believe that people do get the same ideas about things, which is kind of an unexplained phenomenon. Like maybe you both started seeing ads for cruises. I often hear people talking about things that I just happen to be interested in at the same time. I never think too much about it, but I've always found it interesting for sure.
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).
Let us know when he saves you from choking using the Heimlich maneuver, then we'll know why you keep seeing him.

Yet, the OP moved, for a time, 300 miles away and still ran into this man. How do you explain that?
Just remember, you can write something off as a coincidence exactly once. Each successive, repeating instance exponentially decreases the likelihood of this legitimately occurring without being planned (by one of you, at least).
Now, you might run into your neighbor at the gym repeatedly without coordinating to meet up if you are both local to the same gym. But, specifically, your pattern of "move, he magically catches up" is essentially hitting the reset button several times and the same lottery numbers are coming up. Only we're not sure if the winner in this case wins a good prize or a bad one.
Interesting.
Next time you see him talk to him and find out what he thinks. It may lead to finding a reason for these events.
You may not realize it but you might have sone unusual "psychic" abilities and can see into other dimensions. where this man is living a simultanous life to yours, and could be you.
I would say he's stalking you. I'd call the police.
No, I highly doubt it. For the most part of it they are all spread out. It's not like all these incidents happened in the past 6 months. It's been the past 14 years.
I mean what kind of stalker stalks you for 14 years and does nothing? If he were a stalker I am pretty sure he would have done something by now.
Also, sometimes he arrives to places where I already am at, and sometimes he was the one to arrive first and I second. So it wold mean that I was stalking him too....which I am not.
