Testing fate

I had just discovered the notion of synchronicity. I decided to test it. I was in the center of my city and had some time to spare. I went to a book store and found a random book and flicked to a random page. On that page it said " Succesful people talk to random strangers more often.". I then went and sat down in the square on some steps. I looked around and there were lots of couples around me and I felt a little lonely. I thought "I wish I had a pen and paper so I could write down my thoughts." Then a young woman about my age sat down infront of me, pulled out a pen and paper, and wrote "I look around me and see all of the couples and feel a little lonely." I then remembered the advice in the book about talking to random strangers. However, I did not have the courage to approach her.
