Hey guys,

I have been doing physio for months now and I really like my physiotherapist. Not to the point of oneitis but close, she is slightly older and irish (love that accent).

So far I have been making her laugh by just being cocky & funny, not had a chance to run any routines because of several reasons and even getting in some simple conversation is hard because we are chatting about my knee (the reason for physio) and the exercises.

The first couple of sessions she was giving me some pretty solid IOIs like kino on parts not to do with my injury (even rubbing my other leg - which is not injured - while she was talking). Laughing, smiling and eye contact as standard and displaying interest in my stories / what I have to say.

I managed to get in one or two DHV stories, one of which hit two but not pre-selection and when I finished the story she asked me if there were girls there (there were so I told her so answered with that). It was like she wanted me to hit the 3 switches!

Now though we seem to just be comfortable, we can joke about and that but no real IOIs anymore except the standard (laughing, smiling, eye contact) which I would imagine she gives ever patient.

I would of asked her out when I was getting the solid IOIs but I think she would of said something about not being allowed to because of the hospital policy or some BS. I am sure she has a boyfriend, she has never said it or hinted but I just have a feeling she does.

I have got to say I need some advice on how to pursue, I think I might just drop her and move on though. No real attraction has been built and I think the only way I can pursue is when I get discharged. I would imagine she has quite a few defenses for shooting down guys who ask her out because she gets hit on ALL the time by patients (we were in the gym the last session and at least 4 guys hit on her in the 20 minutes LOL).

My original plan was to build comfort and then when i'm discharged invite her out to a fun event like paintballing or snowboarding with my friends and let her invite her friends. I wouldn't mind even just adding her to my social circle, all physio's i've seen are really nice in my hospital so I wouldn't mind using her to get to them! And a PT for a friend wouldn't be bad at all! Not to mention she has a good sense of humour and seems really fun to be around.

Guys, I need advice! Thanks!

Cheers dude.

I'm gonna wait until i'm discharged or a good opportunity comes up to do it. That will give me the best chance I reckon.

my opion on this...

I think you've answered your own question.

TBH shes ur physio, she has to earn your trust. Anyone in the medical profession does, and also because theres a gender issue and shes touching you, shes more than likely being careful.

Theres sexual harassment, inappropiate conduct... you name it theres a allegation for it, so more than likely shes being friendly, building rapport with her patient because if your happy and relaxed she can work your knee without it being all tensed up etc etc.

If your sure or almost sure she has a bf... my advice is let it go. By all means be polite and ask her out for a drink to say "thank you" for the work shes done on you, at least it appears innocent and you have a get out for "I've got a boyfriend" ...

Personally - I'd say let her go, goto Belfast for the weekend and pick up chicks with accents if thats what does it for you. Theres too many mixed signals because of her job that make this a 'no no' in my opinion.

But good luck with whatever you decide
