    Hi ,
    Just joined and apologies for posting in your forum (I'm a man) but looking to get a woman's perspective on whether it's ok or not to ask a girl out given the circumstances ..
    My body's been through the mill , loads of little niggles so every now and then I've to go see a physio/sports therapist to get some deep tissue work done .. Went to a new one recently , similar age to me really cute and chatty (her job to be I know I'd never read in to that) .. If keep uping the mileage I'm doing I'll probably need to get a bit of work done shortly .. So given that's it's her job to put her hands on you and it's at her place of work and the fact that I'd be a customer at that time i suppose .. Is it a massive no no if asked her out at the end of an appointment or ? She seems cool , I've genuine interest but wary of coming off as sleazy or a creep you know ? .. Cheers

    It's inappropriate.

    Wildly inappropriate, I've worked in an industry where it's my job to be nice to people, it can be extremely awkward to all involved to ask her out. When you finish your run of treatment possibly give her a thank you card with your number but I'd be aware that there is no going back though, you'll be burning bridges for sure.

    Way, way too forward and off the wall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25 lofty wiseman


    Cheers for the replies ... Soooo I guess a thank you card with my number and a dick pic is probably the right balance to go with .. Lol
    I had a hunch is was overstepping the mark to be fair but just thought ; if she'd say no , big deal I'd probably laugh at myself once outside and from her side is it really that big a deal a good looking girl being asked out and having to reject a guy ? She d cope surely :D
    But yeah take duffmans point about that type of job on board
    Cheers again

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But wait until your treatment is complete.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you, OP. In the rehabilitation industry, professionalism is of paramount importance. It would be inappropriate for both you as a patient to broach the subject matter after a treatment session, and for her to respond in any way other than remaining professional. If she is no longer your therapist though, and you are happy with the treatment received, then there's no harm in duffman's suggestion of a thank you card with your number in it (although your number will probably be on file anyway).

    I taught swimming through college and piecemeal afterwards and know of two teachers, one male one female, that married people they were teaching one on one swimming classes to. If ye are of a similar age its not that big a deal surely if you really get on with someone to ask her out ? Dont make it a big thing just if in conversation ye have a similar interest tell her I was thinking of going to X have you any interest. As said above nothing ventured nothing lost.
    Yere both adults have we all not rejected someone? I take it as a compliment and if anything have more time for the person who gave it, it has never made me feel awkward around them. Just do it delicately.
