bobdole Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Well, I was visiting my father in the hospital to make sure he got settled in ok. Its late evening and the nurse comes in. Shes cute, I'm friendly and shes friendly but I don't think anything more of it then just pleasant conversation to pass the time while she pokes and prods my father. I headed home before it got to late. The next morning my father calls to tell me that the nurse's father (a doctor there) spoke to him to see if I would be interested in meeting his daughter - I guess her shift ended or something before she could ask, or to nervous. Shes cute and I'm definitely going to call her, if nothing else than to just have the opportunity to meet anyone (kinda new to area). Shes already miles ahead of my ex anyways. Shes obviously got a job, didn't appear bipolar, didn't appear to be a cheating drug addict, etc heh ... My question/point is - This just feels kind of strange. I guess I'll just run with it though. Any comments/insights?
Sabali Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Sure. Go for it. Just remember that she is unlikely to seem bipolar at any given moment if she takes her meds as prescribed.
HeldbyGravity Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Nah, it sounds good to me! People meet others in the strangest ways. I became friends with one guy over glaring at him- really, he cut me in line and I glared, and after laughing over it we became friends.
TouchedByViolet Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Congrats man, most nurses i have met are strong willed, driven, carrying and make great relationship material. Good luck
Mike B. Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 I do find it strange that a doctor would approach a patient and ask for something personal such as to set your son up with my daughter who is also a nurse at this hospital. For one a dad has to set his daughter up? When the parents have to set their children up. Whew wee. Is this an episode of Grey's Anatomy?
Sabali Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Congrats man, most nurses i have met are strong willed, driven, carrying and make great relationship material. Good luck Oh yeah, great relationship material if you don't mind letting her wear your pants. That strong willed is something positive for the woman, not her man. I dated a nurse before. Worst relationship ever and I met a lot of her fellow coworkers who were also nurses and she would tell me all about their business. I will refrain from using the one word that best describes them.
impz Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Why not? People find love in the strangest places. You don't lose anything if you meet with a girl., and she's cute to boot. Have fun!

Author bobdole Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 Ya thats probably the weirdest part. Further detail if you all are wanting: My father said after I left she was asking some questions about me but he didn't think anything of it either other than pleasant conversation. He said that the doc (not my fathers doc, just a doc that works there) said his daughter thought I sounded like a great guy and that she asked him to ask my father to ask me if I would be interested in getting to know her. Well, that's how best I can put it together. My father tends to exaggerate everything and doesn't have anything resembling a good memory. Poor dad Love him to death though So anyways I just gave her a ring and it went to voice mail (expected it probably to as she works nights). Short version said - "Hey I'm that guy blah blah, any idea who I am? Well hope so - heard it might be a good a idea to call and setup something to get to know each other better. Give me a call back or a text when would be a good time to get in touch." Hopefully I didn't sound to idiotic, though I don't exactly know of any "comfortable" way to approach the conversation really heh.

Hey dude, don't mind me but that phone message sounds absolutely cheesy :lmao:. I guess you have something pretty good on you if a nurse would look at you a bit more than usual. Good luck with a possible date. My guess though is that the girl is probably not that sociable with the opposite sex, or that the father is extremely traditional (or a little chauvinistic). I can't speculate accurately on details I don't have, but I see little or no harm to meeting the girl. Who knows what will happen.
Author bobdole Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 Well she gave me a call back. There is definitely "clickage" with our personalities. After 5 minutes of the initial "both are nervous talking with a stranger" was over, the conversation flowed perfectly - lots of laughter. Really made her crack up multiple times. I found out some red flags though Shes home from college for the summer from a city about 2.5hrs away so she's living with her dad over the summer. I'm really just interested in LTRs and have done the long distance thing before - unsuccessfully. But - I got a date and it should be good company.
