I have been having hand and wrist problems and needed to go in for a nerve conduction study. The doctor who performed it is very attractive, charismatic and intense. I'm not a flirt at all, lol, in fact rather stoic and more on the intellectual side (if you want to call it that, i'm just the extreme opposite to charismatic).
So, he tells me to lay down on the table, and sort of said it with an embarrassed smile. I could tell he was embarrassed to say that. No big deal for me as I have had nerve conduction studies in the past so I know what to do.
He tells me he normally does not perform them, but lets his assistant do all of them, as he has more important priorities (basically saying he made the exception for me). He is very chatty, talking nonstop and even fumbling over his words. At one point he said something to the effect "I don't know why I am so nervous and flustered right now" again with the embarrassed smile. I was thinking it was because I was being stoic and unreadable, so I decided to get involved and animated with the conversation.
He looked at my ring and asked what my husband does, talked about television, talked about how much money he has (um ok) asked me my ethnicity, if I had children, talked about his, asked what I am going to school for. Just a bunch of personal questions, that came rushing in like a flood, I could not keep up. I soon got wrapped up in the conversation willingly because of his charisma, and I was laughing and we had a connection when he finally hit on a subject that interested me. (The Showtime program Curb Your Enthusiasm).
He said he is not normally at this office, but at a different one, and said to come and see him at that office. In other words, it seemed like he wanted to make plans for me to come see specifically him, and at a future date without even knowing the test results or if I would need to.
So this entire time, he is not focused on what he is doing with the test, he was shaking and having a hard time with the mechanics, the leads were falling off and again he said "I do not know why i'm so shaky right now" and the shy boyish smile.
So he needs to get the other hand, and this is where I think I clued in that he was coming on. The table was against the wall, so he could only get to one side at a time. His exact words were "we're all done, your going to have to turn over, unless you want me to get on top of you" then he peered at me for a reaction. I was a little nervous and as I said i'm not the flirty type so I just made a frown face. Then I steered the topic toward my husband (he got quiet at this point and not enthusiastic to talk about him at all) , how he loves the nature channel, Discovery channel, etc.
I felt like he was flirting, and I felt a little bit woozy and charmed I must admit, but that is somewhere that I will never go with another man. I even hate to flirt, but he drew me in. Also, he called me on my cell phone at one point, which I feel is odd for a doctor to do, no reason but to see if I wanted to schedule an ultrasound next. My husband was right there, and he could tell I was giddy and surprised when this doctor called, and I could see the hurt on his face.
Am I overthinking this? The vibe felt flirtatious to me.
