To Message Or Not?

I've namechanged, and rightly so.

A couple of weeks ago I had to to take my teen DS to a&e (an ongoing medical issue, and our G.P gave us a letter to take there)

I hadn't really paid much attention to the Dr's appearance/manner etc during the consultation (why would I? I'm trying to get my son sorted) however when he left the room, my DS said 'when's the wedding Mum?' I was a bit confused, but according to him, Dr was looking at me for far too long. Erm, ok.

Dr comes back a few minutes later to ask a couple of more questions and to do bloods. My DS, often injured from footie or rugby, is needle phobic. He freaks out everytime the Dr tries to get the needle near his vein. Dr says not to worry, take a few moments and starts discussing with me our next holiday, if it's just me and DS going....
Dr tries a couple more times to no avail, and touches my shoulder and says he'll get a nurse to help too. My DS then gives me the eyebrows!

We were then in the waiting room for over 4 hours before being sent to Children's Assessment Unit. In the 4 hours everytime he came through the door to the waiting room to call a patient, either myself or DS would see him looking over. I told myself it was to see how my son was doing but I did catch him looking straight at me several times.

As someone who has been single for over 10 years, I will admit, I did enjoy the eye contact game!

I'm debating with myself whether I should look him up online (OK, yeah, I've already done that) and send him an hello message?? Or just forget about the handsome, dark eyed Dr? Wwyd?

I would do absolutely nothing.

brocollilover · 04/04/2024 18:36

this is all on the basis of your teen DS?

brocollilover · 04/04/2024 18:37

in your shoes i would do bugger all.

What is the worst thing that could happen. They say not interested and you move on.

I would keep it as a fantasy in my head and do absolutely nothing else.

This.

Oh god no. Please dont.

Crunchymum · 04/04/2024 18:49

Sounds like this is a fantasy in your head @ToMessageOrNot

You don't go online stalking someone who treated you (well your DC) in a medical capacity because they looked at you a few times and asked you about your holiday plans.

I think it sounds like a batshit idea to try and find him online and then contact him.

LittleBearPad · 04/04/2024 18:51

You’re really overthinking nothing.

CaptainCarrot · 04/04/2024 19:00

For the love of all things holy, do not contact this man.

persisted · 04/04/2024 19:06

If a man was asking this about a female Dr you would think it inappropriate and creepy, because it is. Same rules apply.

DontBeAMeany · 04/04/2024 19:13

Oh dear. 🤦🏻‍♀️

ToMessageOrNot · 04/04/2024 19:27

OK, message received loud and clear.

I'm glad you haven't done anything OP because this: my DS said 'when's the wedding Mum? is just so cringey. Your son didn't say this, he really didn't. It might be what you heard though.

Steer well clear.

brocollilover · 05/04/2024 08:20

i think does show op that perhaps you should give old a go
