I think physical therapist has a crush on me

Ask her if she wants to do some dry needling.

OMG, don't do this at all.

Personally, I'm really confused about the leaving the door thing. Clarify what you think it means? Do you think she's trying to hook up with you in the office?

There are safe things you can do like building rapport and ask her questions about herself that make her feel valued and listened to, that could increase your questions if you do ask her out. Ask a couple open questions that might reveal whether she has a bf (or gf) but don't be too direct about it. You could also look her up on social media to find out if she's single or attached.

Then there's the idea of suggesting something outside work but being very indirect and very very casual about it. You also should make it seem like you're very ok either way, but with that kind of thing, wait until you build a lot of rapport.

You could potentially ask her out on your last session. If you did it during anything earlier, you'd have the awkwardness of going to therapy with someone you'd asked out.

That's not true. You do have to take an action, but you can make a small one and gague it, I think. I wouldn't wait around unless you have a lot of time to waste. That's like what 3-6 hours of your day? You'd probably get really frustrated and bored and that would show

I personally think OP is an idiot. But if she is in a relationship, she is not interested at all I can tell you that and you will eventually meet her significant other in a less then desirable way and if he is anything like me, he will have a temper when it comes to someone messing with his territory. Let's say she has a BF, fiance, or even a husband OP is lining himself up to get the living crap beat out of him. 16 years ago, when my wife and I were engaged a guy did some similar shenanigans and would show up to her work try and talk to her and just pushed the boundaries. She said she was involved it persisted, I got involved and he tried to pull the I will continue my pursuit he kept sending the flowers waiting for her and all of the garbage the creeps do. I beat the crap out of him too, let him know I am not playing his game. He got the picture and we both never had to deal with his garbage again. It was unwanted creepy and scared the heck out my wife at the time.

PT's can get in big trouble for dating a client. I've been to PT a lot and it's pretty standard to close the door during initial evals or types of treatment that might be more private which is probably what happened during your first session. They don't always close the door for just a quick test of something during a standard session. Mine usually don't wear gloves either unless they're doing massage or something of that nature. Maybe they're required to wear gloves for evals, but she didn't feel like it for the treatment the next day. The friendly talking, making connections, is part of their job. I wouldn't read anything into what you described here and would keep things professional. If you still sense that she might actually be into you, wait until after you're done seeing her for your treatment and then find a way to connect outside of the sessions after you have no more left and invite her to a casual social event and see where it goes from there. Or send a thank you card and include your phone # in it with a casual invite to hang out doing whatever casual mutual interest you guys have. Absolutely don't act on this in any way while she's still your PT; it will make things very awkward for both of you if you do.

Whoah, well we don't know if the OP will be persistent so no need to think that someone will beat the crap out of him. I personally said before he does it he has to be fully ok with a no.

My wife is a fit, very attractive PT. When she saw this post she told me she has had advances a few times and even if she was attracted to them she would NEVER act on it because it is completely unprofessional. I am sure this PT has zero interest in you, get over your Florence Nightengale syndrome and don't ask her out

Too bad OP will never update us when PT gets a restraining order against him.

Please use either: you all, or the colloquial y'all.

I knew, but I could not say.

According to the beta males in this thread, it is NEVER acceptable to ever ask a girl on a date in any circumstance. If you ever even smile at a stranger you should be arrested.

But seriously, every single relationship starts with one person asking someone without having any idea if that person likes them back.

If everyone in the country followed the advice of these beta males, the birth rate would drop to zero.

OP wont give us an update on how things went which means he is either in jail or trying to figure out what a restraining order means exactly!

Ask if she is on Instagram in a just friend type of way. Watch how she responds. If she’s excited to tell you yes then pursue. Then when you’re no longer going to that pt message her for a date.

Sorry, forgot to update. I walked out with her on Friday, so I wasn’t stalking. I asked if I could buy her a cup of coffee. She looked at her watch and said maybe another time.

I’ve got another appointment next Friday. I’ll just play it cool from here. If she leaves the door open, maybe I’ll find another PT…

What's the plan when you find out her partner is a sexually ambiguous MMA fighter?

Based on the information and update you provided I can tell you it's a no!!!!

Yes, I am pretty sure when she left the office, she knew what time it was without looking at her watch. If she is interested at all you have to back off and let her make the move now.

Just jack it before you go next time.

Without a loaded gun in your pants maybe you’ll realize she’s just being professional and not wanting your tiny d.
