I love it.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you D.

Dr R heard our conversation and chimed in, "You have that affect on people." The other resident added, "Do you have that affect on women?" I chuckled, finished writing my cancel note in the patient's chart, looked up and HE WINKED AT ME!!!!!

I couldn't believe it. I played it off like I didn't see it because I was stunned. WTF!?

Ok guys. Today, I was walking the hall to the PT offices for sitting rounds and as I walked past the elevators, there he was Styrofoam coffee cup in hand, crisp white lab coat on, lavender tie, black pinstriped pants, shined black shoes... I wanted to push him back in the elevator and have at it.

Instead, we greeted each other in our usual way with Kool-Aid grins and lingering handshakes. I lead him into the office and we sat next to each other and proceeded with sitting rounds for the next half hour. After 9 am, I had a patient refuse treatment secondary to nausea and lightheadedness. I went to notify her nurse, she in turn asked me to tell another resident who I am also buddies with. I found this doctor and he was seated next to Dr. "R" at the computers preparing for walking rounds. There was another doctor there too but I don't know him well. Anyway, I walked over to the resident and told him that the patient refused treatment secondary to nausea and lightheadedness. He said okay thanks for letting him know and that he'd go in to see her during walking rounds. Dr R heard our conversation and chimed in, "You have that affect on people." The other resident added, "Do you have that affect on women?" I chuckled, finished writing my cancel note in the patient's chart, looked up and HE WINKED AT ME!!!!!

About an hour later, I met up with him again in the Physical Therapy gym. I was just starting my stretching routine with my TKA patient and he calls me over, "Damon, can you come here for a second." I say, sure. He opens a piece of paper with the unit's patients names, diagnoses, and room numbers, points to a what seems like a random name and asks, "Do you know her?" What kind of a question is that?

If she is on your case load, you should know her, if not why do you even care?== this is what Im thinking, which is why I know it was random. He just wanted me to come over there. I know it. Anyway, the person that he pointed to I hadn't conducted a chart review at that time but was due to see her at 2pm. I told him no, I don't know her. I was close enough to him to kiss his cheek. He said, ok, thanks and I went back to my patient. For my next two patients, I could barely concentrate thinking about him and his weirdness. I cant wait until he isn't a resident at my hospital anymore because I am going to tell him how I feel about him come hell or high water. I just hope the situation presents itself before then. I think we are getting closer but its taking forever. I think we are both treading light because we don't want to jeopardize anything. We both would have so much to lose if things don't work out. But I know that theres something there. We've carried on much to long like this. Im going to hang out with him at one of the football games sideline. next Friday.

Stay tuned....

God, you are so far gone now... I think if he is not gay we are gonna have to come down there and pull you out by your ankle chains..

I think it is a great idea you are treading sofly.

I think at this time he is probably very flattered by the amount of attention he is getting from you and he likes you that is for sure. It still does not mean he is gay. By the way are you a flamboyant gay. Do other people in the office know you are gay? Does he know you are gay?

Maybe he likes her.

1. No am not a "flamboyant gay". Not even the least bit.
2. The lady that he pointed out is in her 60s.

dreamfactory313 said:

OK, still proceed with caution. I think it would not hurt to ask him if he has kids, this way he may tell you his sexual orientation.

pplrain said:

He doesn't have any children.

Gay people never have kids.

Oh I hope you don't mind me jumping into this thread. I just discovered it and would like to join the cheering squad!!!!

Can I throw 2c in? Sounds like he wants you. Badly.

This self-same thing happened to me about two years ago but the guy was Persian. We danced the dance (same situation as yours but different industry) and by the time we actually *allowed* ourselves to be in a position to actually ask if the other was seeing someone, he'd missed his chance as I'd just hooked up with my fella.

We still hang out but never mention the fact that we were chasing each other. The job situation really sucks but it really is for the best.

If you hook up, but

What a fine line to tread!

Ok guys, here we go. I got a text from Dr R this morning and this is what it said: [i]I'm gonna miss you while Im in OR,

More to come.

^ I think he's SOOO into you

hWHAHHT? Am I misinterpreting that phrase?

Too keep up with this I almost feel like I should be making two columns on a sheet of paper and weighing the "possible flirt" against a "not a flirt at all" column.

I don't know But after the 'I'm going to miss you' text, I guess it's a LOT clearer

Alej said:

That's what I'm saying .

So far we have a wink, a random come look at this chart and stand next to me for no apparent reason, and an I'm going to miss you text.

Still, I think he needs 3 more clues before he makes his next move, whatever it's going to be

dreamfactory313 said:

Did you ask him or are you guessing? Anyway ask him again and if he feels like he would have them in the future? You may even ask him about arranged marriages in India and how he feels about them?
Hopefully he will tell you his sexual orientation then.
