Are you both single? if not, then don't do it. If you are both single, then you have to decide, as you do with any guy, what are the chances of something working out here? And do I like him enough to try to see if there can be a relationship. On the other hand, you don't know what his intentions are. Go into this with your eyes wide open. He may be sincere and reasonable, or he may just be after a quick fuck, or to have a fuck buddy. You will know more if you decide to meet him. But first decide if you think ou can like him or not. If not, then don't bother meeting with him. If you do meet, just be aware of both the good and the not so good possibilities, and go from there. Prior to meeting him, decide what your parameters will be. That is, what kind of relationship you will require, not what kind of relationship he can talk you into.
If You like him sure... but be careful where You meet. always best to:
1) Meet in a public setting.
/ Meet / yes Meet ! Dont jump in anyones Vehicle unless. You're absolutely sure of their intentions
2) if they offer to buy drinks. .. Refuse at least till the 3-4 date...
3) ALWAYS !!! Tell a trusted friend or family member what your doing and who with... Maybe even have then checkup on you every hour...
4) if You're in tune with Your self... You'll. Know soon enough if there's chemistry or not!!

Medical professional here.
So while giving his number out is technically not okay, it's one of those turn a blind eye things. As long as he's not passing it out all the time it shouldn't be a big deal. (People meet in similar situations like this all the time)
I don't know the context of the conversation, but it sounds to me like he wants to spend time with you outside of a doctor-patient basis. I think it's a green light. If it goes beyond 1-2 dates you'll need to find a new doctor.
If you're just not sure and want a little clarification, just text and ask. Keep it light, something like 'Hey, so I'm looking forward to seeing you outside of the office. Just to be clear, were you asking me out or just wanting to hang out?'
Good luck!
It's pretty unprofessional (possibly a violation of some code, not sure) to have an intimate relationship with a patient. One should always end the doctor-patient relationship first
Seems unprofessional to hit on patients. But if you want to and he’s single sure.
"he is 36 and I’m 32" why does this matter.
Anyway, pretty simple-- if you want to, do it. If you don't, don't. What's complicated about this.
You are both adults, but you will need a new doctor before you date him, I believe that is an ethics law?
Just go for it I guess
Heck ya! You can always change doctors if it doesn't work out. What do you have to lose? Age isn't an issue.
Don't mess with that. Better keep a distance or look for another doctor.
HmmmnM, it sounds like there are no issues, Flow Free
I’d do it if he drops the deductible.
Sounds like 2 adults being adults to me.
I would text him and see what happens.
