Something similar to what I'm manifesting but not quite?

So I'm a little new to manifestation, I've been interested in it for years but never really manifested anything significant or anything (mostly just smaller stuff and better mental health etc)

But I've been trying out if I could manifest a partner. I have written down everything I want in him, how I would feel in the relationship and what it would be like (always adding how I would feel about it). And yesterday I also did a new thing where I wrote like a letter from my future self in a year, like pretending that I got everything I wanted and telling it to my current self if that makes sense.

Anyway, today I was eating dinner with my family and my father started talking about a story of his coworker going fishing recently and some random crazy dude complaining about it and saying it's 'his lake' (definitely not a thing in Finland). So my father casually mentioned his coworkers looks in it because it was kinda relevant in the story, and how he acted towards the random guy, and all of it sounded exactly how I'd want my dream partner to be like.

But I'm also very sure that the guy isn't the one I'm manifesting since he's literally my dad's coworker and at least twenty years older than me (I also wrote down a 2-4 year age gap) and I've heard stories about him since I was a kid but never just paid attention, but what does it mean? Is it like a sign or a test that what I'm manifesting is close or I'm doing things right?
