Crush on my child’s doctor

28 replies

I’m married and have two kids under 7. One has some health problems so we go to the same peadatrician a few times a year. He’s my age and just very pleasant. I feel somehow attracted to him. At some point he was ordering tests I felt was out of his scope, especially when my child/I hadn’t complained of anything. This was my main reasons why I started thinking what if he also is a little interested in me. He has wife and small kids too. My own husband is a doctor so I don’t think it’s the “caretaker” syndrome I’m effatuated by, but actually him as a person. He’s not a hunk, obviously I think he looks good, but i don’t think he’s the guy who flirts with others just for the giggles. Every time we come from an appointment only thing I do I think about him and I just want to get to know him better. Any advice?

In the past I’ve had mild crushes on a psychologist who was undergoing CBT with me, and an orthopaedic surgeon who operated on and followed me up for a broken shoulder. It never went any further than my thoughts though!

Have you been reading Mills and Boon?!

Why on earth would a Paediatrician risk his career for a dalliance with a patient’s mother?!

Also he’s married.

Also you’re married.

Grow up!

Just remind yourself he is only a man and probably really annoying!!
