I’m 50 divorced. He’s a single 58 .
I’ve found him attractive from afar over the years and have had a conversation with him on the phone a few years ago in relation to a medical issue . He was giving me advice regarding my now ex partner , was helpful and kind and I sent a card thanking him back then.
I haven’t seen him since except for a fleeting moment when I felt he was going to come over t chat to me ( possibly about ex partners illness not realising we had finished, perhaps) but my teenage son was actually behind me and the man circled back when he saw my son join me .
weve never actually spoken face to face.
yesterday my adult child found himself in an acute medical crisis. The Drs would not tell me what was going on, my child had amnesia and confusion and I was so panicked as it was quite serious. I had no one medical to talk to but then remembered that this is his area of expertise and emailed him to ask what adult child needed tto do as he was discharged very early, fully symptomatic and I was petrified as child couldn’t remember anything such as observations, referrals etc.
Mmy email was quite formal and almost apologetic but I was exhausted and emotional.
He responded immediately with excellent and reassuring advice . His email was informal and kind.
My child of course is absolute priority but just wondering here if I’ve blown any chance of anything friendship or romantic with this man , in your opinion?
We will of course be sending a thank you card when my son feels better again or maybe my son should send a fee or a monetary gift 🎁 r gift card . I’m not sure where to go with this. His fee is approximately £250 for a consult normally . Can you advise me please. Thank you.
