Hi guys. I have a rather complicated story, but i'll make it short and sweet. I recently graduated with my BSN (just applied for the masters program ) and just started seeing a neurologist for migraine/tension type headaches. However, when I first saw my doctor, I was blown away by him, but I would remain professional due to HIPAA and medical ethics codes. In a span of a month, I had seen him for routine appointments 5 times (I thought that was a little much). At my last appointment, he had asked if I would want a CRNP job working for him. But the way he asked made me get to thinking. First he called me from the exam room to his office, very professional. But once I got there, he pulled out "the doctors" chair for me to sit in, and he sat on the corner of his desk facing me to ask. So in my opinion, he was trying to "hit" on me, because he also knows that I just graduated and don't have my CRNP yet, not even close. I decline the offer, stating that I am happy where I am, but am very flattered. To end the story, my medication was doing fine, and he wanted to see me again in 3 weeks, and only wrote a month script for it. Got me thinking again. Last week, I was working out and saw him at my gym, and we exchanged looks, but kept it professional. He called to check in on me to make sure I wasn't having any worsening headaches, and I mentioned seeing him, and he wanted to work out next time we saw each other at the gym. So, from other nurse's insight, is he keeping just a professional relationship or wants more than that? I don't want to switch MD's if I don't have to. Any ideas on how to see if he wants to go out? :heartbeat
By the way - what I meant by "eyeball flirting" was continuous eye contact w/my eyes for 15+ minutes, whether talking, listening, laughing or silent.
Are you serious? I see that all the time -- dudes/women. . . I don't think of it as flirting. I just figure that's how they talk to people. Seriously, I don't think of it as flirting but that's just me :) I guess I'm weird that way? lol, yup, I am weird haha.
But, I know what you're saying --- there is such a thing called, 'sexual tension' in the room. It is hard to concentrate if the person you're attracted to, is IN the room with ya. It's better if there are other people around -- it stops the hormones!
I'm sorry; I realize that some people say it's as easy to fall in love with a wealthy man as it is to fall in love with a poor one, but why should anyone date anybody else solely based on how much money one of the partners makes? Sounds rather callous and calculated to me.
I wonder if this was a troll post as we have heard nothing from the OP in almost a year here.
The OP did come back and update....if that's what you meant?
Either way, I agree with your critique of the post about "he has a lot of money." It's a shame, IMO, that people still think this way. Some docs make a lot of money, sure....but many are also in debt up to their eyeballs, if they are younger (med school isn't cheap!). Some physicians, like family practice docs, don't make as much as some people think. Most of the time (I know there are exceptions), those bigger salaries that some docs have also come with super-sized egos. Docs work CRAPPY hours, on call a lot, etc etc. There are plenty more reasons NOT to date one in theory.
Going after one for the money or prestige is nothing but shallow.

Anyway, I guess people flirt in their own way.
