Is my doctor flirting with me or is it just wishful thinking?

Question - (15 August 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 15 August 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm in my mid 20's and I'm not sure how old my doctor is... I want to say mid 30's. The age gap is not an issue but I don't have a clue if he's with someone, married, has kids, or single.

It's impossible to fish out anything because his staff is pretty quiet. I didn't notice or care for him aside from him being a doctor but 3 visits ago, I noticed him doing a full body scan. 2 visits ago, he was warmer and friendlier. During my last visit, he made more eye contact, smiled, felt like he was taking his time talking with me, and as I'm leaving the exam room, he petted down the hair behind my neck and rubbed my upper back. I'm flattered by this and since then, I haven't been able to stop thinking about him.

Am I making this situation more "hopeful" than it really is? Was he flirting with me? Or was he just being that warm, friendly doctor we all confide in?

This guy is your doctor and even if he is interested in you this is inappropriate behaviour.

I can't say I would want to go out with someone who behaved in this way... think about it.

Unless he's calling you up and asking you out, don't bother chasing him. Read, "he's just not that into you" and "why men marry bitches". Will save you alot of grief. Honestly, everything you've mentioned shows that he might find you physically attractive, but that means nothing. Men find many women attractive, there has to be more substance if they want to do the asking out.

Like I said, he'd call you and ask you out if he was very interested. Don't chase him.

Details: Thanks for your responses!

And yes, I meant body scan with his eyes. He doesn't wear a wedding ring... but there's also a chance that he takes it off during work so it's not a disturbance in any way. He does have assistants but the assistant was walking infront of me as I was leaving when he touched my hair and back.

I did overhear that he's going somewhere with his family... is it more likely that he is married and has kids?

"I bet being a doctor takes it's toll on your family life. You're wife must hate it." That's very clever. And other good lines I can use to fish out more info?

Thanks!

Cerberus_Raphael agony auntI have a question...Wasn't there a nurse in that room when he did a full body exam? I'm pretty sure my doctor, however friendly he is, never did anything like that to me so...I'm pretty sure your doctor was flirting.

I hope that helps.
