PhillyDude Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Met this doctor online and we only have 2 conversations in 3 weeks and then realized that we won't be able to go on a date in May because of her work schedule and holiday plans. So I just deleted her number and blame myself for even trying to start something with a doctor.
carhill Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Same reason as anyone else. Attention and perhaps someone who matches up with their schedule. Beyond that, follow the simple rule that someone who finds you interesting and attractive will make time for you. If they don't, there's your sign. 1
EasyHeart Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 That seems pretty normal to me. Some people have lives. 3
threebyfate Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Phillydude, I can't figure out the purpose of this thread. Irrelevant person does irrelevant things. Why do you care what she does and why should LS care about an irrelevant person?

So I just deleted her number and blame myself for even trying to start something with a doctor. You're giving up too soon. 2 conversations is nothing. She's busy and probably is speaking to other guys, too. Keep it light and in a couple of weeks after the holiday schedule a date.

threebyfate Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Just letting guys know think twice if a woman says she is a doctor because her time is limited.Most men and people in general can make the connection that certain careers require more of other people's time and energy. One of those 'duh' moments.
d'Arthez Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Or it may be just one of those white lies to let you down. 1
Author PhillyDude Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Or it may be just one of those white lies to let you down. Could be since she was born with a "magical hole"
d'Arthez Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 If that is your attitude, be grateful she let you down like she did. 3
metalambience Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Or it may be just one of those white lies to let you down. +1 It takes a half hour for a coffee date, less than the time it takes to make an online dating profile. And there is a federal limit of 80hrs/week of work in a hospital. She has time, just not interested in you.
Author PhillyDude Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 If that is your attitude' date=' be grateful she let you down like she did.[/quote'] If someone seems to busy before meeting then it's stupid to try and start something with them and go on a date. Might as well move on to the next person.

carhill Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Maybe she was doing advance marketing for when her schedule opened up in June. Takes awhile to screen and do background checks and all that stuff that people of her stature require before dating and mating. You were too available. Miss. 1
CarrieT Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Just letting guys know think twice if a woman says she is a doctor because her time is limited. And then there are the doctors who are on OLD sites because they figure they can date other doctors who have similar schedules and who may understand and commiserate that kind of life. Or.... you might find a doctor like the one I found who has his own practice and can make his own hours. Not every doctor has limited time - so maybe it is just you she can't make time for. 1
mesmerized Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Dude, you have issues. Every day you post a thread complaining about something. Do you think any sane woman would give you the time of the day? Think again!
zengirl Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Well, OLD would be the perfect venue for dating for women and men who don't have much time to meet people. If she were to find someone she was truly interested in, she could probably make a little more time in her schedule, but why would she do that unless she had a really good incentive to do so?
irc333 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I get a kick out these people....ALREADY IN their profile, they state something lame like "I'm busy with work and school, so he/she MUST be understanding of that!" That's the same thing is saying, "I will ONLY spend time with you when it's convenient to ME" A very selfish statement. They want the benefits of dating, but expect that OTHER person to be at their beckon call when THEY'RE ready.
Pierre Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Met this doctor online and we only have 2 conversations in 3 weeks and then realized that we won't be able to go on a date in May because of her work schedule and holiday plans. So I just deleted her number and blame myself for even trying to start something with a doctor. There are dating services for doctors, so this is rather odd. She could be a dog. At least she can pay for all dates.
johan Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Ha ha. Sooner or later we'll see a thread about how "she said she has to sleep at night. So I deleted her number and moved on. I guess she doesn't think guys might want to do things at night. I blame myself for even thinking about dating a woman who is active during the day."
d'Arthez Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Ha ha. Sooner or later we'll see a thread about how "she said she has to sleep at night. So I deleted her number and moved on. I guess she doesn't think guys might want to do things at night. I blame myself for even thinking about dating a woman who is active during the day." No that will go something like that: "sleep" is code speak for "being banged by someone else than me". How dare she"
Vintage79 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Just letting guys know think twice if a woman says she is a doctor because her time is limited. I've igone out with a fair number of doctors - yes, their time is limited, but they always find time...just get use to dates at oddball times...in particular late night. 1
Mrlonelyone Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 You dont even know what kind of doctor she is. She still may be a resident in her last year of medical school, in which case she is not getting paid and does not have to abide by the national mandated work week. He did just say "Doctor", could just as easily mean a Dr PhD instead of a Dr. MD. (or even the rare person who has both. Or a PhD...in nursing Dr. RN. PhD. oh yeah they exist.) In either case you would be how busy a Dr. MD or PhD can be in the early part of their career. Once they get that degree a MD has residency and 16 hour shifts in the hospital. Pretty much they live in the hospital...hence it's called residency. A PhD has to go through looking everywhere for a suitable "post doc", fellowship position and more likely get several jobs teaching as an "adjunct professor" for an average of 2500 per semester per class. ( Don't take my word for it. http://www.drexel.edu/provost/amp/docs/MastersPhDTreadmill.pdf) Many people with PhD's and even some with MD's are on food stamps during this part of their career because the pay is so low. So she may have been genuinely extremely busy. Especially at this point in time as those early jobs are in "teaching" environments and this is the end of the academic year in most places. Students at her level often have obligations and expectations more comparable to the faculty. They may be instructing students, they may be grading or evaluating other students, they may be presenting findings to a conference etc. All of that is in addition to the usual grind. Then in summer suddenly they have all this time on their hands TL;DR While this woman may very well have been blowing you off. If you are really intersted in dating Ms. Dr. (MD/PhD) don't hesitate. Try to set up that first quick coffee meeting. Make it easier for her to say yes by meeting her a little more than halfway. People in her position really are just that busy.
Onlyjonley Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Dude, you have issues. Every day you post a thread complaining about something. Do you think any sane woman would give you the time of the day? Think again! Haha -- completely agree. Can you imagine a relationship with him? He'd pick apart your every little move.
