My Big Date with Dr. Neal

The date with Dr. Neal almost never happened after our first attempt failed miserably.  However, he managed to redeem himself and I agreed to see him again.  I have to admit it was kind of fun watching him squirm, beg and he even sent me roses.  We decided to go to dinner and a movie.  Very cliche and predicable choice but he’s a super busy doctor and not a creative artsy type so I wasn’t too surprised by the date selection.

I met him at the restaurant and this time we set an exact place and time.  I told him he better be there early because if he is even a minute late I was leaving and never speaking to him again.  I got there and walked up to the center bar where we agreed to meet and I noticed him right away.  As soon as we made eye contact he got up and gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek.  He was tall, dark and handsome.  He was half Persian and half Italian and he reminded me of a younger version of Dr. Christian Troy (from Nip/Tuck).  We sat down at our table and the conversation was very natural.  There was no awkward “ummm”, “sooooo” or nulls.

The one thing I did notice about Dr. Neal is that he talked about his work A LOT.  Even when we were just texting he would always say something about hospitals, patients, ER, medical school, etc.  It was very strange almost like he was reminding me that he was a doctor every chance he got.  Even when we were on our date he took out his iphone and showed me some fracture X-ray picture.  All the doctors I have ever met have always been almost secretive about their profession but not Dr. Neal.  It was a bit of a red flag.
