I just started dating the same doctor again. The first time I dated this doctor was two years ago, we want on several dates, he never cancel and found the time to make it work. We only want on a few dates and I stop dating him because of a ex girlfriend who staked him. Also, at the time he was also starting his own practice and I felt he had to many projects on his plate to make time for me, so ended it (Big Mistake). Two years later I could not stop thinking about him and decided to give him a call. Once again he made the time for me and want on our first date again after to years and it was great. My advice would be to gave doctors the patience and understanding they deserve. It will take hard work to develop your relationship and they will be very busy just do something productive with your life too. Before you know it you we been in each others arms again. -

Think about if that happened to you. I have worked at large medical centers and small regional hospitals. I have met the type of doctors, male and female, that you have described. As well as ones who live very modestly, ones who want to discuss socialized healthcare and enjoy a good debate. One common ...

You people are weird. I've dated a few medical students, and my father is a doctor. He goes after the girls who are in their mid-20's, though; they can often afford to be picky on who they date and, in most cases, they don't care about the woman as a person.
