I seem to have a professional bias towards my date, and curing illnesses and saving lives is interspersed with every date we have. 😅

Ever tried planning a romantic evening with someone who might get called away mid-bite? That’s dating a doctor for you. Last Friday, I reserved a cozy table at our favorite Italian spot, only to end up eating alone while my partner dashed off to the ER. It’s not just the canceled plans—sometimes, I feel like I’m competing with their pager for attention. I remember once trying to share a funny story, but halfway through, their phone buzzed and I was left talking to myself. It’s hard not to take it personally, even though I know patients come first. Still, I’ve learned to cherish the small moments—like sharing takeout on the couch or a quick walk before another night shift. Have you ever dated someone whose job always came first? How did you handle it? Let’s swap stories—I could use some advice! 🩺💬 #DatingADoctor #RelationshipStruggles #ModernLove #ShareYourStory #RomanticRelationships
