yes, that's it. throw away a job and career by hooking up when you're not supposed to. your reputation will recover




























someday.

Im going to find out but the door certainly seems ajar (if you know what I mean)

missmad said:

I plan to. Today all the residents were in a seminar or inservice all day from 9-5 so I didn't even see him today.

PurpleJedi said:

Im working on it. I'll keep you posted.

I have inspired nothing in you, I see!


I agree with Otalej, go for it!

BlackAdder7 said:

Thanks for the real talk. This is my conundrum.

dreamfactory313 said:

Can't you just do it outside the hospital?! Don't let his wet blankets dampen your fire!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Anything happening on the hospital campus is completely off the table. Im gonna invite him to a ball game or something so he wont suspect much but a guys night out, find out where his head is at and go from there.

dreamfactory313 said:

i hope it works out for you, i really do....but what if he's not gay?....kiss your career goodbye. be professional for god's sake. you worked so hard for your degree. at the least, let him approach you.

BlackAdder7 said:

Im not going to try to offer him a key to my place or anything. I just wanna go to a ball game just to see if he'll reveal anything else or if I can detect anything. I'll make a determination on the next step after that. I'm not going to get caught out there. I'm not stupid. I do understand however that its not a good idea to strike personal relationships with people that you have to work along side everyday but this guy is really something special. At the very least I know the guy is feeling me as at least a good friend.

if your looking for a man that will walk away from responsibility.....

i aint the one.....


woo don't get me started

Ok guys, I havent asked him out yet. I did see him today though. We spoke for a while about some current events and a couple of patients. I do have a question for you guys: Would you think a guy is gay when everytime you see each other he feels compelled to shake your hand (always with an accompanying broad smile) that sometimes seems to linger a second or two too long? This happens more than one time a day. Other male co-workers never shake my hand even once a day, let alone twice or 3x in a day.

Thats gotta be a hint, right?

Im just trying to work up more courage to do this. HELP!

^ from my experience, straight-ass dudes don't smile at other dudes

Alej said:

I'm going to have to agree and the lingering handshakes are a give away to me too. He holds my hand just a bit loner than usual. Dead give away..... right?

Sounds like he kinda likes you but I would heed Blackadder's words and proceed very carefully because gay or not, workplace romances can be awkward if they don't work out. Chat him up a bit more about how much you love sports, let him know you have some game tickets and that he's welcome to come along. If he backs off or jumps at the chance, you'll have your answer.

good advice thankx

Okay guys, tomorrow will be the day that I ask him to hang out.

Today we didn't get to spend much time. At about 10:00, I was doing some charting on a patient and I heard his footsteps walking toward me (he wears distinctive shoes that have a certain staccato as they hit the floor). I looked up and he was standing there smiling again with his hand outstretched waiting for his morning handshake. He said, "Morning Damon". I said, "Good morning Dr. "R", its good to see you." He said, "Its good to see you to. (WE SAY THE EXACT SAME THING TO EACH OTHER EVERY MORNING LIKE ITS A SCRIPT OR SOMETHING, LIKE WE WOULD BOTH LIKE TO SAY MORE BUT WE KNOW WE CANT). He asked how my weekend was (like he does EVERY MONDAY MORNING). Note: There are other doctors, nurses, therapists nearby. I said it wasn't bad. I asked how his was. He said it was okay.

Tomorrow, I'm rounding with him, so we'll get a chance to chat more. No one I have ever worked with greets me this way with this type of energy everyday. Its remarkable. I don't see him do this with anyone else either. I cant wait to tell you all what happens.

Good luck.

Alej said:

Thanx. If this doesn't end well, I'll have your shoulder to cry on.

dreamfactory313 said:

I think it will work out but, of course

Okay peeps, I DID IT! Dr "R" and I are going to the Lions-RedSkins game this Sunday.

This morning we did our rounding and chatted all day off and on. He asked me if I had watched a Monday night football game last night. I hadnt but then I asked if he'd like to got to the game on Sunday and he said hed love to go. Yaaaaay!!! But Im not home free yet. I asked him to do an interview about his professional accomplishments and future aspirations which I will post on my blog. I really want to video him answering my questions so you guys can see him.

I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of this saga. I mean, you know the sound of the guy's footsteps!

Best of luck.

Wow...this thread is better than a Spanish Novela.

Today, I didn't see Dr. "R" until after noon. He was in the nurses station where all of the inpatient rehab patients' charts are kept. The room was packed full of people doing their charting and whatnot. I walked by and saw him chatting with a nurse. He wasn't wearing his lab coat today. He was wearing gray pinstriped pants a grey Oxford shirt and a black and gray tie with black shoes/black belt. He was looking all luscious and lickedy. I kept walking toward a room to speak with a respiratory therapist. I came back about 5 minutes later. When I got to the station he walked right over as soon as he noticed me and outstretched his hand. My hand embraced his. He apologized for not seeing me this morning. I WAS FLOORED. (who does that?) I responded, "What happened to you"? He said he had an earlier meeting at 6am and 2 lectures to go to (btw, he is still a resident). I said cool. I told him it was good to see him. He said it was good to see me too. All this time we are still holding hands. It had to be about 10 seconds of hand holding. No guy who isn't interested in me has EVER held my hand that long.

We went on to talk about his schedule and how we will meet each other at the Will Call booth on Sunday for the game. I almost complimented him on how good he looked in a casual way but I didn't. Theres always tomorrow. Later on, right before he left for the day, he came and sat next to me while I was charting. I could tell that he hadn't any more business for the day.(I can just feel his energy). I couldn't talk too much because I would never finish my note and I didn't want to become too aroused to the point where I couldn't stand up (if you know what I mean). He asked again how my day was going and some random stuff about some internal medicine doctor which I had never heard of. The whole thing seemed so random as if he was looking for a reason to sit and strike a new conversation.


I cant wait until I get him home.
