Annoyed he doesn’t get my job role.

[Ginbunny1212]

Trivial in view in what’s going on in the world. Guy I am getting to know over text - obviously can’t meet due to current situation - cant get that I work in the nhs and I am not a nurse. I am an AHP and on the frontline too. He keeps saying nurses like you do a great job.

I keep correcting him but he still calls me a nurse. Everyone in the nhs are playing a role and to me it’s not a big thing to be called a nurse, but I have told him so many times I am a radiographer and even explained my job. But yet again another 2 texts tonight saying nurses like me are doing a good job.

Last text I sent was they doing an excellent job but I am not a nurse. He then replies clapping for all the nurses like you.

I give up. He seemed really nice but if he can’t get my job role there is no hope. Am I being unreasonable to ignore him.

He sounds irritating, like people who mispronounce your name .

If he can't grasp the difference between nurse and radiographer, which aren't even similar, I would personally give up.

In the grand scheme of things does it matter?

That would drive me bananas OP. Bin the dimwit/nurse-perve.

Thank you for a great light-hearted thread. Almost like the old days last week

sorry im giggling its not funny i know but i am

get rid op

Yeah it’s exasperating. Think I will ask him.

That would drive me crazy! I’m also a radiographer :)

In the grand scheme of things does it matter?

In a relationship, yes.

I bet he would want you to dress up as a nurse.

He sounds really irritating. I wouldn't bother texting back and I'd probably block him

Why do keep chatting to him if he is clearly not capable of basic understanding? In the old days, when I dated if I met someone who was clearly a bit stupid/rude/just not my type, that would be the end of it. I do think online dating seems to encourage endless ‘chats’ with people you clearly have nothing in common with.

He sounds like a particularly dim twat.

Bin.

What does he mean by "improvement training" OP?

Good god... so he's saying what you're seeing is the new, improved version of his former self?!

Run away now!!

He wants you to be a nurse. So he is ignoring you when you say you’re not.

He sounds insufferable.

You cant have a relationship with someone who doesnt listennor pay attention to yoir life.

@Batshittery nailed it

If he's not listening to you now, likely he never will. Wave him goodbye

The earlier you notice and bin him off, the better for you.

I’d have to ask him multiple times til he responded. Why on earth can’t he understand that you’re not a nurse?
