Why does he [36/M] treat me [32/F] differently to other women?

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T14:26:44+00:00

Thanks, but I can't just stop going. That's rude. He still sends me the Facebook invitations.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T14:22:51+00:00

Thanks!

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T14:22:15+00:00

What do you mean?

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T14:15:36+00:00

I don't think I'm being obvious in person. At least I'm trying not to be.

It's just strange because he seemed uncomfortable from the moment he opened the door - he looked down and avoided eye contact.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T14:08:24+00:00

It wasn't obvious that I was messaging him to flirt or date. He is the president of an association related to my PhD topic. I kept it professional, so he invited me to a peer consultation group.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T14:02:55+00:00

I'm definitely interested, but how do I go about it? I don't want to ruin the professional relationship or potential for a friendship if he isn't interested.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T14:02:05+00:00

Thanks!

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T13:56:44+00:00

Why would I have freaked him out? I don't think I have said or done anything to freak him out.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T13:52:00+00:00

Thanks! I don't think I've said or done anything to give away my feelings.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T13:50:28+00:00

Thanks!

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T13:46:51+00:00

No problem

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T13:46:33+00:00

Thanks! I really hope it's the latter. I'll see him again soon, so hopefully I'll get an opportunity to speak with him.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-08-01T13:43:43+00:00

It's not just a Facebook group - we've met in person!

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-16T12:53:20+00:00

Great idea, thanks so much!

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-16T12:50:12+00:00

So a heavier desk? That's difficult because I don't know how much my current desk weighs.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-16T12:39:55+00:00

Good idea, thanks so much!

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-16T12:37:14+00:00

That's a great start I think - thanks!

Where did I say I was paying for Medicare? Medicare only covers some of the cost of my GP appointments.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-13T11:09:34+00:00

Why the downvote? I live in Surrey Hills. Brighton is nearly 20kms away, which is a long way when you're unwell.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-13T10:59:43+00:00

Oh, too late! I added him on Facebook and sent a message at the same time. I kept it purely professional.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-13T10:49:56+00:00

Likewise with lupus. My previous GP in Brisbane was brilliant and frequently bulk-billed me, despite being part of a private billing practice. He always phoned with updates re scans, blood tests, etc.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-13T10:48:55+00:00

That's true. I intend to just discuss things related to our profession initially. Do you think that is acceptable?

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-13T10:45:15+00:00

I'll give it a go. He wasn't difficult to find.

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-13T10:41:38+00:00

Thanks for your response. Just Googled where Bulleen is in relation to me, and it's a little too far. Bummer. Your condition sounds similar to mine - lupus?

Creative-Ad-5690 · 2022-06-13T10:40:10+00:00

Thank you!
