"Paging McDreamy! We recently received an email from a reader who isn&amp;amp;#8217;t sure how to approach the hot doctor she works with. I think we can help her out, don&amp;amp;#8217;t you? Here&amp;amp;#8217;s her email: I work in the OR and I have a crush on a very hot Doc. I have talked to him a few times, but usually when we are deep in conversation a nurse or another doctor walk by to ask him a question, or I am paged. I know he is single and looking to find a girlfriend because I asked around the OR for information. (He even asked some of the OR nurses if they knew anybody that would go out with him.) I just don&amp;amp;#8217;t know how to go about asking him out or getting out of earshot of everyone else. Do you have any advice? And here&amp;amp;#8217;s what I think: Thanks for reaching out! Well, my dear, I think you&amp;amp;#8217;re in a very enviable spot. So often, it&amp;amp;#8217;s difficult to tell (without revealing our own feelings toward the guy) if a crush is single. Further, it can be quite a challenge to figure out (again, without revealing our own feelings toward the lad) if he&amp;amp;#8217;s interested in a dating or a relationship. This guy is golden on both counts and from what it sounds like, the two of you enjoy rather engaging conversations. The next time you two have a chat, just ask him out already! Do it before the annoying PA system has a chance to squawk out one of your names and before another co-working interrupts. You can keep things pretty mellow by simply asking, &amp;amp;#8220;Hey, do you want to join me for ____ some time?&amp;amp;#8221; Fill in the blank with lunch, dinner, a movie, an art show, even a live music show or anything you enjoy that you think he&amp;amp;#8217;d be interested in as well. It doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t have to be a big production either; if you&amp;amp;#8217;re unable to find a private moment, you could ask him on the sly while you pass each other in the hall. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re feeling shy about the whole thing, you could check in with the nurses he&amp;amp;#8217;s been pumping for information. Let them know you&amp;amp;#8217;re interested in him. If the nurses aren&amp;amp;#8217;t able to give you immediate feedback: he&amp;amp;#8217;s already seeing someone, he&amp;amp;#8217;s interested in someone (perhaps even you!), rest assured that you won&amp;amp;#8217;t have to wait long. Word will get back to him pretty quickly. From there, you&amp;amp;#8217;ll have a few options, including waiting for him to approach you, or the more direct approach, outlined above.
