These things happen. As I focus on the situation, my intuition says it’s a matter of you being in energetic sync with this man and his family. Sometimes you encounter people and you are just on the same wavelength. It feels like you’ve known them forever or you are meant to be with them somehow.
As I focus on your situation, it also feels like it’s a past life thing. We tend to travel in groups from lifetime to lifetime. We feel it when we run across someone with a previous connection from the past.
Now, a word of caution, just because you feel this connection doesn’t mean something is meant to be. Connections are great, but they aren’t always enough to make relationships work.
I would put some feelers out and see if you can somehow explore what can happen with the man. Right now, my intuition says it doesn’t feel like it’s going to happen on it’s own. You’re going to have take steps. And if something does happen, go for it If it doesn’t with a couple months, it might be time to walk away and go find someone else. Be cautious about putting your life on hold for this type of thing. This could prevent you meeting that aw some person you could be happy with.
Just because you haven’t felt this type of thing before, doesn’t mean you can’t have it again. You can.
