I have known my doctor for the last 7 seven years and he has always been so nice to me. Sometimes his staff would let me wait in his office other than the waiting room for my appointments and not the other patients. When I lost my baby he took it really hard and coulnd't work the rest of the day. Well anyway I saw him yesterday and it has been a year since I saw him last. When he got off the elevator he said to me, "How is my girlfriend doing"? and that just blew me away. This man in about 60 years old and I am 37. Do you think he has feelings for me?

Even if he should have any feelings ..... they are good feelings. Do not attach much importance to such things. Obviously he had made a good impression on you earlier by empathising with you when you lost your child.
Subconciously you have had warm feelings for him for this kind gesture of his at the time of your loss.
Perhaps it is you who has feelings for him. And your mind is seeking legitimacy by giving a biased picture of this friendly and good old doctor.
If he had had feelings of the kind you mention he might called you up several times after your baby's death. Maybe even as an excuse.
He is just being good to you. And even if he should have romantic feelings (which I doubt very much) it is your appropriate reaction that will give him the message.... and the matter ends there.
It would be better if you search in your heart whether you have feelings for him.

I think you're reading too much into the picture! Doctors are humans too and in my opinion he extended a little sympathy out of kindness and nothing more! As far as his elevator comment, doctors make these all the time. It may have been a bit inappropriate for the "girlfriend" word and probably could have made a better choice of words but my feeling are he is just extending good bed side manner! For some reason, most women these days have this ridiculous idea that when any guy talks to them it has sexual overtones! Believe me, you are farthest from the truth!

I think he has feelings for you but they are not what you are thinking right now. Some doctors develop close relationships with their patients while still maintaining a very professional relationship. If there is something uncomfortable or inappropriate about what is going on, I would talk to him - and switch doctors if necessary.

Who knows? Thing is when your in the medical profession you get to meet many people and we become closer to some patients than others. We don't treat them any different when it comes to treatment(this would be unethical) but yeah, in some instances we go the extra mile to make them feel more at home, that said, this man might be the exception, only you can know the answer to that, use your sixth sense.

No, he doesn't have feelings for you romantically. He teasing you in a very kind, gentlemanly sort of way. He is old school and that was acceptable before. He's putting you at ease and asking how you're doing in a cute, old man way. He helped you through a very distressing time and is being nice.

He called you girlfriend because you are a girl that is his friend. I think you have to not take things so literally. Give the guy a break, he's 60 yrs old for goodness sake. Peace out!

it is somewhat truly easy. I had a similar subject the position i presumed my OB did not provide on the health facility of my determination. She somewhat had delivery rights at 2 hospitals, so i replaced into in a position to apply her. have you ever requested if she has delivery rights on the large-city health facility the position you paintings? If she doesn't, in basic terms be difficulty-free and enable her comprehend the the reason why you're searching for a sparkling OB and ask for options. it is basic to apply your cutting-edge OB-GYN for each year difficulty-free visits. i might want to initiate the communique in basic terms as you suggested above, that you've had an fairly undesirable journey with the "community" health facility, and opt to provide on the health facility the position you paintings. She might want to take it from there, and furnish you with you're ideas. solid success on TTC!!! I desire you the perfect!

He was in good mood, and why not can be something in his mind.
If you are interested just make a new appointment. Some people are just regular and he knows you for many years. If you call somebody my bf. could you have some feelings or not .....simple answer.

I don't really think that he has feeling for you so much as that he was playing with you by that remark. i mean he might see you as a daughter but that's about it. if he's a self respecting old man then no...but if he's one of those dirty ole men the yeah he might...i mean deep down inside you probably know already.

It's hard to say. I think that you need to get a new doctor though. I would feel weird going to the doctor if I thought he liked me.
