Repeating numbers, dreams and a sense of a connection- where is this leading to?

So here is what has been happening and if anyone has any idea what is going on here, please let me know.

Last year I met this guy at work. He works for a different company so I only saw him a few times, but one day I met him and by "coincidence" again the next day - this was totally unexpected and I started to wonder what was going on (so did he). Another strange thing was that when he asked me where I am originally from, it turned out his father was from the same country. There are not that many people from my country of origin here in the UK. Some "coincidence"! We had some great discussions and got on very well, I felt relaxed around him and the conversation just flowed. I don't often feel that way with someone I have just met, most people give off an aura that makes me feel uncomfortable and on edge.

Then my boss assigned me somewhere else and I didn't see this guy again. But I couldn't get him out of my mind. I hoped I would see him again but this never happened. Towards the end of last year I started to constantly dream about him - very intense dreams that felt absolutely real! These dreams are still going on - not every night, but frequently. I have never dreamed that much about anyone before!

Around the same time I started to constantly see repeating numbers. Mainly 1111 and 111, but also 333, occasionally 222 and a lot of 444. I was taken by surprise by that - I had heard about repeating numbers but didn't take it too serious that this phenomenon might exist. But ever since then I have been inundated with repeating numbers - literally inundated! It is impossible to ignore.

So I started to wonder whether there might be something to it and whether this was a sign of some sort. Trying to find out what these repeating numbers mean has been impossible, everybody says something different, though apparently it does mean that one's soul mate (or twin flame, whatever one might want to call it) is near.

I did not want to believe that this guy might possibly be my soul mate (I didn't even fancy him when I met him, but there was a very deep connection on soul level) and I have certainly tried to forget him - it's impossible, I keep dreaming about him, and in every dream I am either together with him or being in some way guided towards him, or I dream about someone who has the same occupation as him whereby it is being indicated to me that this relates to him. I do often have dreams about events that later really happen by the way.

Over time I realized that I do really like him and I tried to see him again but that has not happened. I tried to have a message passed on to him but everybody who would have been able to do so has refused, or messed me about. I can't contact him as I don't have his contact details. It is absolutely crazy!

It's a strange thing because if something was meant to be with this guy, one would have thought that I would have seen him again or somehow come across him, but no - we are like ships passing in the night.

However, if this is not meant to be - then why do I keep dreaming about him, for six months now, why the repeating numbers, and why am I unable to forget him? I felt a very deep connection between us - this I still feel.

There is by the way another very strange synchronicity that occurred. I have given him a nickname because I tend to find nicknames for people that I deal with (not insulting ones). On the anniversary of something that happened many years ago (an occurrence that involved either a spirit guide or guardian angel) that also involved someone with the same job as this guy, google were running some appreciation day of the figure who I named this guy after (sorry if this doesn't make much sense, can't explain it without giving away the nickname I have given this guy and I don't want to do that here)! I nearly flew out the window because this was definitely too much for a coincidence!

So I am wondering - is this guy my soul mate, and if not - why is all this happening? There are too many synchronicities going on for this all to be a coincidence. I am by the way not someone who reads too much into everything - I have had far too many bitter disappointments in my life as that I would do so. I am however highly sensitive (clairsentient) and can sense that there is a connection and that I have to find this guy again. I also know that when one gets shown a person very clearly in a dream then one has to find that person.

All this has been going on for a while now and I could really do with knowing what on earth is going on here, why all the synchronicities, why the dreams and the sense that there is a connection - and why all this when for some reason or other I just don't seem to be at the right place at the right time to see him again? Very strange indeed!
