I don't get lunch......or dinner.........

"Where have all the GOOD guys gone?" Isn't that a song? I have been gone for the past 10 days in sunny California, and i will blog about that trip later because, i could not help but post on my awkward situation.


I have heard of many stories where a hygienist meets her husband in the dental chair as a patient, but never thought it would happen to me. I did not meet my husband, far from it, but i did get my first patient ask me out scene. Now as most of you know, when i go to work, i am in baggy scrubs, hair pulled back, wear a mask and glasses. Now if you can imagine, that does not leave much to see.


So i kind of have a personality where i love to get to know my patients and become part of their life, and get excited to see them back in six months. As i cleaned his teeth and laughed, he looked up into my eyes and asked how i would feel if he asked me out to lunch. I laughed and said there are not too many days where i actually get a lunch. Thought i was home free. Then he hit up dinner.... What is a girl to do than to hurry finish up and go get the doc for an exam. I know you are all thinking, Hello, you are single, why are you not going out. Well let me tell you. He has been married three times....to the same girl. In the temple, temple divorce, in the temple again, then divorce, married civilly then divorced. Not to mention he has mild perio! Ha!!

Then while i was in California, he actually called the office and asked for me. He was calling to get that date set up. What do i do?? What do i say? There is no way i will call him back, but he is coming in next week for some restorative work. Give me some advice......

So i ask again, " Where have all the Good guys gone." They are either looser "ish" or gay, although i love my cute little gay patient, i am sure i am not going to asked out any time soon from him! Ha!!

creepy! But I guess you can look at it this way, at least you get a free meal out of it. I can't believe he didn't get the hint in the first place though, he sounds persistent!

I say you jab him extra hard with the perio probe next time he comes in and see if that doesn't scare him off...if that doesn't work you tell him that your boyfriend George will come after him if he doesn't leave you alone. (Oh and could you make George sound tough?)

ha ha ha! Some people! Sometimes it's hard to not give people the wrong idea....just because we're nice and talkative doesn't mean we want a date!

Some kid (with knowledge i was married---and nasty teeth) tried his hardest to flirt while i was working in an office in Ogden. At the end of his appt he was so smoothe when he said, "so i guess i get a date with every 6 mos now, eh?" I was like..."actually, no, you won't be seeing me next time!"

Sometimes you just have to tell it as it is...free dinner or not! you can end it now before you give him the slightest idea you might be interested, even if it's just a courtesy yes. That's just my opinion.
