I saw a counselor (mostly as a formality in my opinion) at the counseling center to get put into a stress reduction group, so we only met once, briefly.
I saw him at the bookstore a week later and was very excited to see him (he didn't see me)...i think i was attached to him...then started trying to find out more about him on the internet. I later saw him on the bus and then at the grocery store and finally at the laundry room at our apartment complex! I went to talk to him in there and he didn't remember me...but i reminded him. I sent him an email apologizing and saying it's nice that he's here b/c I recentlymoved and don't have many friends.
He said that it's okay to chat when we pass but we can't be friends. His girlfriend recently moved in. I see them both a lot (they don't usually see me) and know which vehicles are theirs. I also wee him on campus more than any of the counselors i know from the center.
Why do i see him so much!? It's so distressing...
But it also seems like some sort of a sign...since i see him so much and nobody else really.Also, do you think he told his girlfriend about me...like to avoid me? I think he wouldn't want us to know each other, b/c it would make things complicated since i'm not allowed to really know him or whatever.
THANKS

What an awkward situation for both of you!
I think the word is synchronicity? I could be wrong. It's likely not that you see him more often than you see anyone else. It's just that you notice when you see him. Some guy in Apt 401 might run across your path just as often, but you wouldn't really take him in to find the coincidence meaningful.
I don't *think* he is allowed to tell his girlfriend that he saw you in a professional capacity.

As Dinah said there is confidentiality involved. Hard for you I'm sure. Love Phillipa
