Dr. McHarmony

Ok its official, I went on a date with a real, live, breathing, doctor tonight... yes, I am in shock as much as you are dear reader.

I went on a blind date with a guy who on his profile wrote he was a "consultant". I was into that, he was taller then me, older then me, and seemed like a southern gentleman. He called me on Sunday night and we set up our date at a local wine bar in Addison Circle. Major brownie points for picking a wine bar as a first date! From our conversation I gathered he was a pretty down to earth good guy with a Louisiana accent.


So I walk up to the wine bar and found him outside at a table. He was cute in a geeky way, which was cute in itself. He got up and gave me a hug and we instantly started talking about his work. Remember, I thought he was some sort of business consultant. He started talking about radiology and how he enjoyed working at several hostipals in the area. Of course I start thinking, this guy lied to me about his job, and he is really some sort of x-ray technition or some other job along those lines. I was kinda irritated that he hadn't been clearer on his profile about his job! He kept talking about his group, and then finally dropped "med school" in his sentance. I'm sure I looked like a dear in headlights when I put two and two together and found out he was a consultant for a medical group, this dude was a legit Radiologist who went to one of the best med schools in the nation... wow did I feel stupid. I was so in shock for about 5 minutes about all my wrong assumptions...I'm pretty sure I acted like a complete nut for the next few minutes trying to process my misconceptions of this poor guy. Was I attracted to him because he was sweet and geeky or because he was this super smart guy who saved lives of cancer patients??? 


On a scale of 1-10 I would give our date a 7+. I was myself, sarcastic, whitty, and at times silly. I couldn't tell if he appreciated that or thought I was a complete bimbo! Lol. Why is it when I hang out with smart people that I sometimes dumb myself down or act like a ditz? I mean I had only had half a glass of wine at this point! Lol.


We did share alot of good stories about kids and my experiences of working in the hospital setting. I made the mistake of joking around that his family was all doctors... turns out they are... SERIOUSLY? It was like I kept sticking my foot in my mouth.


Dr. McHarmony did do several things right- he picked a wine bar for our first date, he was able to hold conversations that were trivial and intellectual, he picked up the tab without me having to do the whole offering to pay jig, he had manners, and he walked me to my car. 

The verdict is out about how I feel about Dr. McHarmony. He is a great guy, with a big heart. We had great converstaion, and he has lots of cool life experiences. I'm just not sure if he is the one. I'm not sure if my friends would think we "go together" based on our looks and personalities. Then again looks aren't everything. Dr. McHarmony is a decent looking guy, but I didn't see myself kissing him goodnight.


We will see if Dr. McHarmony calls and we further this Grey's Anatomy love. Dating a doctor would be kinda hot! Lol. Of course tomorrow night I do have a another date... with a pilot.
