Dating a Doctor: Pros and Cons
The dream of many, the lifestyle of few; Many women strive to meet a cute doctor, but it’s not all Club Med and hospital corners. There are a few cons that go along with the pros.
| PROS | CONS |
| He will make you Prozac and pancakes for breakfast | He’ll leave you love notes, but you won’t be able to read his handwriting |
| You can drive his Mercedes | Wacky hours |
| You will have all the necessary props for a game of “Doctor” | Cute nurses |
| No more doctor visits for a cold | He will constantly be diagnosing you |
| Your kids will pronounce “stethoscope” before other kids | Your single friends will always ask you to set them up |
| You’ll be able to afford your dream house | Your neighbors will suck |
club med and hospital corners?!? love it.
You know what I’m saying…
Very cute. When I was watching Desperate Housewives last night I thought about how I could never date a doctor because I am too jealous…I can’t have my man feeling on other womens boobies. I don’t care if it’s work related.
So true. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it as a con when I was writing it.
I’m dating a neurologist right now and it is very difficult. I rarely get to see him and he’s always stressed out with work. It takes a lot of patience and understanding which I thought I had before dating him but now it’s at a whole other level.
Honeybuns (great name, by the way), good luck with that.
Pros: Social status. Ambition. The promise of wealth (alongside a mountain of debt). He’s very caring and wants to give me the world. Intelligent conversation.
Cons: His time is limited, and our conversations are always rushed. If you want to enjoy free time on his day off you must travel far away because if you stay in town he might get called in. Sleep deprivation takes a serious toll on everything. Trained to make quick, major decisions without discussing it with others.
If I knew then what I know now about what it’s really like to date a doctor, I wouldn’t have gone on that first date, but now that I’m attached to him I wouldn’t want to live without him.
Looks like I missed a lot on my list. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, fool.
Working, on call, back up call….
Neighbors drop by for light conversation then, “oh by the way, I have this pain”…
The neighborhood business owners treat you with a great deal of respect.
Have class and intelligence, Dr.’s want love and challenging conversation.
Find one that loves to help our society not just going through the motions.
My boyfriends a gyno, I was surprised to hear there is nothing sexy about what he sees daily. His job is to clean it up.
Vacations with him are great because he wants a true escape. We make any day he has off an adventure.
