Sunnydays1111 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I work at a hospital, I'm not a nurse or anything like that, I'm just in a non clinical role. Occasionally, I do see fairly young doctors or maybe medical students in those greys anatomy scrubs when I eat lunch. Is there such a thing as them dating in the workplace? Or how would I know they are single? I'm assuming the young guys are still single or the ones that are still in school. Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Yes, there is such a thing as dating in the workplace, but some workplaces do have rules against this. You would have to determine whether it is acceptable where you are. Don't assume that anyone is single. The way to have a chance in dating anybody is to be friendly and get to know them. That said, if you date someone and things sour, can you be civil and respectful with someone who has a complicated history with you? Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of random conversation could I strike up without looking weird? I'm actually waiting for one of the guys to approach me and start a convo. I imagine everyone there will be friendly since its at a hospital, so being just friendly and romantically interested there is no way of knowing. Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 When you interact with someone as part of your job, throw in some conversation. Such as "have you got anything planned for the weekend?" Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sunnydays1111 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) well, i'm waiting for someone to start a convo with me b/c that shows me they are interested. I mean, I can't just strike up a convo with anyone- I wouldn't have a clue on their status, I mean what if they are taken? I want to be the one to be approached. sure, I can ask a random question but really...what if they are just being friendly? Edited November 15, 2021 by Sunnydays1111 Link to post Share on other sites

Starting a conversation with you may mean they are interested, but more likely it means they are being friendly. 29 minutes ago, Sunnydays1111 said: I mean, I can't just strike up a convo with anyone- I wouldn't have a clue on their status, I mean what if they are taken?

Getting on well with people at work makes you day nicer. And you might find that one becomes interested. Or not. But it's kind of weird to only speak to workmates who you view as a potential romantic interest. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sunnydays1111 Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 In one of my previous jobs I would always greet one of the security guards-I was in no way interested or even attracted to him, I was just being civil and friendly, anyway, one day he asked me if I was single, turns out he was interested in me, and this was all because I was the one the initiated the "good morning" routine, which in his mind gave him the green light to ask my marital status.

I know a TON of people that have met at work and gotten in long term relationships. Either one will quit their jobs to find a better opportunity elsewhere of have different career goals in mind Edited November 17, 2021 by Sunnydays1111 Link to post Share on other sites

So you're not being friendly to others because one guy in the past asked your marital status? Link to post Share on other sites

If they are not coming up to you, they're not interested in dating for whatever reason whether you're flippant about dating at work drama or not.

My cousin who is the "beauty" of our family and only has a high school diploma worked in the gift shop at a hospital. One of the surgeons took one look at her 20 years ago and swept her off her feet. They are now happily married with 3 kids. If they want you nothing is going to stop them from approaching. Link to post Share on other sites

The hospital is teeming with opportunities for romance. I'm being a bit facetious, but not really that much. Those professionals spend long hours in the hospital, they don't have a lot of time to date, so they meet a lot of their romantic partners in the hospital. Find one that likes you, and that you like. There's no secret strategy to date doctors. Edited November 18, 2021 by dramafreezone Link to post Share on other sites
