Teens, I'm back now and have re-read your posts about your physio's behaviour which have befuddled me and I'm not his bloody patient! Do you still like him? One thing that I am clear about (having experienced it, and am currently experiencing it) is that regular/longterm one to one professional sessions, be it with a therapist, teacher, physio, etc., often create an intimate atmosphere which jars against the professional aspect of these sessions. Your physio should be the one setting limits but he's clearly a chatty man who easily oversteps into intimate subjects.
I would surmise that, like you, he felt a certain attraction and has possibly been flattered by your asking him out and although he's tried to step back into the right boundaries by refusing your offer he can't quite switch off how he feels.
Don't you find it really annoying? In some ways your situation is like mine although we've never discussed anything intimate but his body language, calling me by my first name (quite rare in France in a professional context) and compliments have confused me. I think he's a good guy but I'm irritated for allowing myself to get drawn in and befuddled. One of my colleagues, who is older than I am, has had regular contact with him in the past for concerning her parents' wills. She admitted to me the other day that she was really attracted to him because he's a good guy, bright, bla, bla, but he never called her by her first name and certainly never kissed her on the cheek. She immediately jumped to the conclusion that he might be attracted to me.
I don't bloody know. I do know though, Teens that I'll never ask him out for a drink when our work is done in April. I just can't bring myself to ask a man out. Maybe I'm too old-fashioned but it goes against my instinct. It's more likely to all die down with time. What about you and this physio?
I really, really felt uncomfortable with him being in my personal space as a professional. Why is that making me cringe so much?
