Currently, I am receiving physical therepy for my knee. My therapist is a single man. He is also 10 years older than me, and Jewish. I am 39 and a Lutheran. It appears that neither of us have ever been married or have children of our own. We seem to get along pretty well when we work together.
I am curious to know if I should take a chance and ask him out at a later time. Also, if anyone of different faiths are dating/married how your relationship works with that one major difference. Thanks in advance to all those who respond.

I see nothing wrong with asking him out once your patient/client relationship is over. It is difficult to meet men in today's world and if you sense there is some chemistry and mutual attraction, you should go for it! Of course dating doesn't necessarily lead to marriage, so for now, I wouldn't sweat the religious issues. However, I'm sure you realize that this would be something you would have to work out should your relationship become serious.
Good Luck! Have you tried match.com?

No. He's going to say no because of religious differences. Jews don't date nonjews. A jewish boy who liked me asked if I was jewish. When I said no I was christian, he was disappointed. It turned out he was going to ask me out. When I asked him about it he told me that Jews can only date jews becuase Children born into the religion get their "Cleanliness" from their jewish mother, not their father. He was a nice boy but I just wasnt' into him. Cleanliness has nothing to do with taking a bath, it has to do with religious and spiritual cleanliness. Jesus was King of the Jews and the Messiah. the Christians worship him but he Jews rejected him as the messiah. they see him as a great Rabbi. (Teacher) People with similar religious beleifs often will only date each other because of the child factor: how to raise children. If you are a Lutheran, that is called be a christan Prtotestant, it means you could date another prtestant. which means no catholics or jews, but you could date a baptist or united medthodist or methodist or other deomination because you could switch because the belive in the basic. the only ddifference is the rituals during the services. the catolics and jews believe different BASIC stuff. the catholics worship the virgin mary, jesus's mother. The Jews are sitll watiing for their messiah. They dont' realize Jesus is him and had him crucified. Some jews, called messianic jews, DO realize that Jesus is the messiah and I don't have enough information o them. Orthodox jews, however, may not and I don't have enough information on them either. admittedly, my jewish knowledge is limited, because my contact with jews and judism is limited to a couple of neighbors and we don't talk religion. I see them as people, not jews. Judism happes to be what they practice. but if I ever had a question they'd be happy to answer it, I suppose. I do know that nonjews, or Gentiles as the jews call us, can convert to judism and they consider that just as good. I know a couple that did that and the child they have is considered juxt as holy as if the mother was born a jew. (the father was the one born a jew and the mother converted from christianity.) my neighbr is a jewish woman who is married to a christian man who did NOT convert and their kids celebrate channakah AND christmas. But the kids ARE raised jewish as a rule. They are holy because their mother is jewish. taking into account my neighbor, he might actualy say yes, I mean, my neighbor said yes. give it a go. what could it hurt? I hope all this background info helps you out.

I think if you like him you should go for it. You have the right idea to wait until after you are done with physical therapy. I don't see it being a problem with the difference in religion as long as neither of you tries to force your beliefs on the other one.

do not run in asking for Xanax. DO ask your clinical specialist even if s/he feels Xanax will be an ideal option for you. maximum physicians I paintings with get somewhat suspicious (justified or no longer) even as sufferers are available with a particular time table (i.e. to get prescribed a particular medicine, Xanax in this party). sufferers who are available with questions, even if, are more beneficial typically seen as conscientious companions of their personal well being (which we healthcare specialists love), and the employees will truly run with the help of the options that can help you're making an suggested decision, provided you do not initiate arguing for Xanax if the clinical specialist feels it really is an inappropriate option. finally, that's as a lot because the clinical specialist and pharmacist to ascertain what medicine is ideal for you (if dissimilar concepts seem ideal, you could perchance accept the options and requested to pick on - regardless of each and every thing, we desire you to be an element of your man or woman healthcare judgements).

No. He shouldn't be getting involved with patients, current or former, he could get in trouble at work.
