People Coming Out of the Woodwork

So for a year and a half I have been running, swimming, biking and whatever else all by myself. There has just been no one who is as interested in working out or "training" as me. All of the sudden I'm running with a girl from New Zealand. Soon, we'll be swimming together. There is a new couple who work with us who are avid runners. Then today, I was stopped randomly by a guy, who had to have his mom pull over, stop the car so he could jump out and stop my run. It was an odd situation. It isn't everyday that a Korean man approaches me. My red flag definately went up. He introduced himself with perfect English and explained that he had just finished his own run. That made sense as he was in running gear and sweaty. He said he was looking to run with people since he is training for a race in April. I'm thinking to myself, where have all these people been the last 18 months? I was also thinking, are you for real? What do you really want? Are you stopping me because I'm a girl? Or because I'm a native English speaker? Well, time will tell. Am I an English object? Am I a supposed relational prospect? (Don't get your hopes up guy!) Or am I really someone who could get a group of runners together? Not sure yet. One thing I know, I meet people in the oddest places. I've never been so aware of the serendipitous meetings as I am here in Korea. People are coming out of the woodwork!
