Is he being friendly/nice to me or flirting?

[unigirl1990]

So, I’m trying to figure out if my physio likes me before I find a new physio and ask him out.

When I met him the other day, he called me by my full name which was really weird. I called him out on it, and then he called me by the multiple nicknames that can come from my name in a teasing way. For example, imagine my full name is Samantha, and my nicknames could be Sam, Sammy, etc.

Then, he was randomly showing me his hair and playing with it, and said that he thought the grey hairs were very “distinguished”.

He also gave me a huge, beaming smile, and winked at me in a friendly way during our conversation.

I think he probably knows I’m crushing on him, so I’m trying to figure out if he’s just being nice/friendly, or if he actually likes me.

What do you think?

Thank you!

Friendly/nice

Flirting

It's not enough information to say either or.

It's very easy to mistake one for the other with the signs you've given

[unigirl1990]

Lol, I know! That's my problem.

PT guys flirt with everyone bc they need you to smile and relax your muscles, girl. Take a deep breath and lean into the stretches. Don't be such a schoolgirl.

Lol, thanks!

This is really weird. What is a physio?

[unigirl1990]

A physiotherapist. I think they're called physical therapists in other countries. He helps me with the muscles in my neck!

I don't think he is ethically allowed to date a patient... again this really weird.

[unigirl1990]

Why is it weird? His behaviour or because I'm asking?

[spartan55]

It's weird because doctors are bound by a code of ethics which includes not dating their patients.

[spartan55]

I don't know how you don't know this.

[unigirl1990]

Of course I know this, but do you think he's flirting?

[spartan55]

So you don't care that he could lose his livelihood to date you? Is this the only option you have right now, because really a bad one.
