Am I obliged ba to always answer them and dapat prompt ba?

Obliged ba to answer them all the time and promptly?

A few months ago, my finger would only hover over the delete button. Months of no communication but my mind was still hesitant about the thought of cutting off the one thing that still "connected" us, still pining over him and holding on to the memories. Today, I finally unfollowed him and deleted our convos on social media and i feel more free than sad about it.

Sa mga redditors na may s/o na nasa medical field, paano kayo nagkakilala at paano nyo na navigate yung relationship despite your busy or hindi mag tugma na schedules? How do you guys make time for each other?

Hello! A few months ago, I (non-med) was introduced to my co-worker's nephew who's now a newly minted EM Diplomate. I'm 28 while he's 32 and we both never had any relationships before. We also agreed to start out as friends and take things slow. We have some similarities and common interests but due to (mostly his) busy work schedules, we don't chat that much and meet up that often -- up to 3x a month lol.

I've read in some posts that med school up to residency is so tough and takes up so much of their time that some students/doctors and their SOs are having a difficult time in their relationships. I, on the other hand, have never experienced that because I met him just a few weeks before his residency graduation. I have a little idea of how the medical field works as I've had a short stint in a hospital before, but I barely scratched the surface.

What's their diplomate path going to be like? and I'm curious about what I should expect in getting to know one or a doctor in general.

Thank you!

Hello docs! A few months ago, I (non-med) was introduced to my officemate's nephew who's now a newly minted EM Diplomate. I'm 28 while he's 32 and we both never had any relationships before.

We have some similarities and common interests but due to (mostly his) busy work schedules, we don't chat that much and meet up that often -- up to 3x a month lol.

To diplomates here po, what's your path going to be like? and I'm curious about what I should expect in getting to know one.

Hello! A few months ago, I was introduced to my officemate's nephew who's now a newly minted diplomate doctor. I'm 27 while he's 31 and we both never had any relationships before. We also agreed to start out as friends and take things slow. We have some similarities and common interests but due to (mostly his) busy work schedules, we don't chat that much and meet up that often. Due to both our lack of dating experience, I was wondering how I could give him subtle hints about how to know him more and further explore our friendship. Also, is it okay and not too forward of me to ask him if he sees our friendship (going 6 months) moving to the next level? Thank you.

Hello! Ano ma reco nyo na lash lift place? Ano ka lawig ga stay and how much? Thank you!

As a girlie na introverted at sadly may resting btch face minsan (lol), hindi talaga ako naging ligawin. As in wala talaga may nag attempt na manligaw sa akin irl. Hindi ko rin trip manligaw ng lalaki. Wala rin organic encounter. 😅 Dahil dito, nakahiligan ko mag punta sa mga chatting websites noong mas bata ako at dito sa reddit and ilang dating apps a few years back with the hopes to meet friends and eventually maging lover.

Meron ako ilan na meet online and ilang beses ko din inakala na may potential sila na maging the one. Sinubukan din lumandi pero hindi nag work. Never ko din na try makipag meet in person sa mga nakakausap ko. Hanggang audio calls or vc lang talaga kasi natatakot ako na baka kung ano mangyari sakin.

At some point, napagod na din ako makipag usap online and parang slowly tinatanggap ko na yung possibility na tumanda akong dalaga. Iniisip ko na dapat makahanap ako ng better-paying job and mag ipon para sa future ko. Hindi pa ako lumagpas sa kalendaryo pero ganun na yung mga pumapasok sa isipan ko.

Kaso sa tingin ko may iba pang plan si Lord para sa akin. A few months ago, ni-reto ako ng officemate ko sa cousin niya. He's in his early 30s at never pa sya nagkaroon ng relationship like me. We chatted and learned na we have things in common. Nice and respectful naman sya. So after a few days of talking, inaya nya ako mag meet and i accepted kahit super kabado kasi first time ko gagawin yun in my life! We finally met, ate and talked for a few hours. We learned a few things about each other and i enjoyed the time we had. Medyo shy din sya and bago pa sa dating scene kaya sa second date, nag agree kami na mag start muna as friends and see where it leads us.

However, due to the nature of his work, mas busy yung sched nya kaya we chat every other day or every 2 days at nagkikita lang kami around 2 or 3x a month. Ang cute nya lang kasi very wholesome sya and hindi ako nakakaramdam na unsafe ako kapag kausap or kasama sya.

Pero minsan umaandar talaga yung pagiging hopeless romantic ko and hindi maiwasan na ma compare yung pace sa friends ko na may relationships at sa mga romcoms na napanood ko dati. Minsan napapa overthink lang din kung tama ba to ang ginagawa ko or what. Bago lahat ng ito sa akin pero feeling ko ang tagal mag progress ng "relationship"? Dumadagdag din yung curious/excited mother and sisters ko na nag analyze ng situation ko kapag mag kwento ako sa kanila after ng date. 😅

Ang challenging at easier said than done pala talaga yung "mag start muna as friends and see where it leads us", ano? Lalo na sa ganitong edad kung saan marami na mga ka-batch na nagkakaroon na ng sarili nilang mga pamilya. Go with the flow nalang muna siguro?

Hayyy.... Lord, ikaw na po bahala sa aming dalawa. 🙏🏻
