Someone knock some sense into me!

Hi, I see a doctor every couple of months for a specific problem. However, when I saw him a couple of months ago I developed a massive crush on him. It's just ridiculous. He's about 15-20 years older than me and married. Before this, I'd liked him as a person and doctor but that was it. I did kind of get the feeling that he found me attractive but brushed it aside and thought nothing of it.
But when I saw him just before christmas it was so obvious that he was attracted to me I really couldn't miss it. It was kind of embarrassing for both of us-the most surreal doctors appointment I've ever had in my life!
Since then I've just had this huge crush on him and I need to get over it as it's driving me insane. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this and how did your crush wear off? I'd there anything else I can do to speed up the process?

Its normal to get crushes on someone in these types of profession.
But in this case see another doctor for a bit if you feel its out of hand.

Thanks 2angels, I feel like if he hadn't have made his attraction so obvious then I would not have gotten a crush on him. That probably says a lot about me
I can't stop thinking about him, although I really want to stop!

Some doctors dont have any sense they go through medical school and throw it all away by flirting. He is risking his job giving it away he likes a patient. Keep busy with things in the meantime.

I've been trying to keep busy with stuff, but so far it's not worked. Maybe I just need to let it run his course. I am also married with dc and dh would be so hurt if he knew.

Car crash waiting to happen.Change doctors.

He is married. You are married with children, as well.

What else do you really need to know to "inspire" you to nip it in the bud and change doctors?

Besides, how do you know he's not an absolute sleaze that gets flirty with loads of his female patients??

It's time to change your doctor.

How do you know he's married?

It's not something that comes up naturally in a consultation.

I feel like if he hadn't have made his attraction so obvious then I would not have gotten a crush on him

Ugh, this sounds like victim blaming to me.

I guess that does sound like victim blaming doesn't it, although I certainly didn't mean it to. He wears a gold band on his finger so I'm assuming he's married.
I think I need to grow a pair, and get over it.

Oh ok.
That makes sense.

Nothing has happened has it so no need to feel that way. You have got this far to realise that its not right. And just think about what you first saw in your dh

No nothing has happened and neither will it. That's why I want this stupid crush to go away. I feel like a bloody teenager.

Just change GPs. For everyone's sake.

It sounds really unhealthy and you should change doctor if possible, for your sake and for his.
