There's nothing in the Code of Ethics that says a Doctor and Patient cannot see each other outside the office as friends. If I did date anyone, I'd definitely want to get to know them as friends for a while. I'm not the kind of person who will jump into a physical relationship with anyone, even with doctors. I also think that Code of Ethics is wrong because I would say it would depend on each individual case. It's morally and ethically wrong to sexually abuse someone and take advantage of them. But it's not wrong to want to be friends and have a meaningful relationship. An intelligent medical professional who once critiqued the Orthopedic Code of Ethics stated "The Code of Ethics may stand, but Doctors are human too." I think this is one major fact that the Code of Ethics fails to acknowledge. I feel that my doctor and I are intellectually compatible, we are both kind loving caring people, and frankly, I think he would make a great friend, if given half the chance.

He won't do it if you are his patient. The reason is liability. I'm sure his insurance carrier forbids it. There is probably some kind of waiting period though.
If you are serious, find a new doctor and THEN ask this guy out.
