Something Strange

I am in a strange pickle and I can't tell if this happened for a reason or not. I have been wanting to go into this tea place for awhile, but never have for some reason. However, tonight I decided I needed to go in there. I met a guy named Micheal who is amazingly cute and we have a ton in common. He agree a lot of the stance of Chi and things of that nature. The thing is, he's part oriental (he doesn't look it, more Italian looking if you ask me). The reason that's an issue, is because my best-friend told me a couple years ago that all Orientals were hers. I was never very attracted to them, so I was like year sure. I feel a very strange pull to this guy though. I don't know why I was supposed to meet him and I talked with him for hours. It was amazing. Was I supposed to meet him for my best-friend? For me? Just to learn about tea? I am so confused. I wish someone could help explain this to me, and why does this all of a sudden happen now when I'm just starting to learn about Wicca and herbs? I could use some guidance!
