Ok. I've been single (and celibate!) now for around 7 years with no interest whatsoever in having a relationship with anyone. I'm late 40's.
I've just met someone in a professional capacity (healthcare) who definitely likes me and I developed a crush on him completely out of the blue. I feel like a schoolgirl at times, but I'm also pleasantly surprised as obviously there's a bit of life in me yet.
The professional care bit has come to an end now and at risk of outing myself, the signs of interest (I think) I picked up today, and over the past few weeks, included:
Him telling me how funny I am (I use humour to deflect nervousness)
Him telling me I look great (in response to me saying I'm on a health kick)
Him asking what kind of things I do after work (could be fishing or just in relation to my health)
Him telling me he'll miss me brightening up his morning...
He said to email him if I have any problems, but I just have the generic practice email address.
My thinking is that he can't ask me out or contact me because he's a professional and operates under a code of conduct re: clients. I, on the other hand, could contact him with a genuine health related question and leave my number/email address.
Any suggestions on how to proceed with my plan? I would like to keep in contact with him, even if not romantically as he's really interesting and funny and he laughs at my jokes, and I generally miss male (hetro) company. He's younger by 10 yrs and mentioned that age is just a number, blah, blah.
He's been very easy to find via google, so I could tweet him?
Any thoughts, suggestions??
