I fancy my chiropractor, I’m pathetic I know.

Totally unprofessional. I’m 29 and single and quite frankly he’s gorgeous. I have a bit of a crush on him😂this is so sad, I know.

I last saw him around November last year and stopped going for obvious reasons. I’m bound to be absolutely annihilated in the comments. But I actually can’t help it. I just want to go back because 1. My shoulders need to be sorted and 2. He’s quite nice to look at.

I know I can’t ask him out and he can’t ask me out either and I need to find another chiropractor. But I do need vent this one out.

its okay to tell me I’m nuts in the comments.

If you want to ask him out - Is he single? No offence but are you gorgeous? How old is he?

I feel like I’d need to skirt round the topic but I mean, what if he just doesn’t like dating??

Oh I had a very handsome chiropractor once, he moved to Bath sadly and I couldn’t see him anymore, we’re both married with children but a harmless fantasy is fine, if you want to date him just find another chiropractor!

My husband is an allied health care professional and has had a few patients declare their feelings for him over the years (male and female). Honestly, don't go there. It's their job to be compassionate and interested in you, don't mistake it for feelings.

Just a harmless flirt

He's a snakeoil salesperson, so that would put me off instantly.

Why is it sad and nuts to have a crush on a handsome man? Is it unethical for him to have a relationship with a client? Yes. If he’s single, get another chiropractor and then ask him out. If he says no, so what? Fortune favours the bold. You’ve got nothing to lose and you might just hit the jackpot.

Exactly. He's either too dim to realise what he's peddling is quackery or he doesn't care. Either way, not relationship material. And also will not sort out OP's shoulder problem.

To offer a touch of perspective: I felt like this about my vet once. It lasted a good while, so I often opted to see the other one at the practice.
However, a little while later, on holiday in the UK, I saw him in a restaurant (he did not recognise me) and he was profoundly rude and unpleasant to everyone around him, including me when I bumped into him near the toilets.

Killed the crush right then and there!

Always worth thinking outside the box. Most connections will happen naturally if they are supposed to. If you have stuff in common, you might naturally gravitate, notice a flutter or two, and may be able to ask him a few leading questions so long as you are no longer his patient.
If there are no seeming connections and no real eye contact outside of the client/patient sphere - best to back off.

Sadly, I think it is a NO, unless you meet him in another world. His work ethics won't allow this and you would be putting him in an odd position (even if he was single) That said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you going back and getting your back sorted (given it needs doing) and having some generic talk about where you socialise, test the water etc. I have had a bit of experience with this with my sister, who had a lovely physio, who was younger than her, and really encouraging, and I think she misread the signals a bit, and was really keen to book more sessions, but then eventually said, professionally, he could do no more for her. It must be a really hard thing for those that work in this field. x
