Religion is NOT and will NOT be high on the priority list of many people. It is the ability to communicate and relate to each other that kicks off the realtionship. Trust honesty, compromise and love comes in later. You cant control who you like and neither can you like someone just bcos he/she is of a particular religion! its pathetic.<BR/>I wasn't implying that doctor SHOULD date doctors or what not. Like I said, you cant have a relationship if you don't spend time together, talk things out or share similar interests. It is extremely important to relate to the other person. Hence, ppl in this profession meet ppl from similar professions. We'll only get to meet other ppl if we join clubs, go for social outings frequently etc but the problem is we're busy ppl so we end up hangin out with ppl around us. <BR/>Is there anythin wrong with tt?cute little angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373304565764938483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104984232173079557.post-39906487968973193752008-10-22T18:04:00.000+08:002008-10-22T18:04:00.000+08:00and just for your information, not only doctors ge...and just for your information, not only doctors get to meet fellow doctors most of the time. <BR/><BR/>teachers, engineers, secretaries, scientists, construction workers, lawyers too.

Besides, it is always easier to relate to someone who knows the nature of your job. There'll be things to discuss and talk about etc. I notice that many of my girl friends in med school are dating guys in the profession either in the same med school or elsewhere, except me of course, but my bf is a soon-to-be healthcare professional as well.cute little angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373304565764938483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104984232173079557.post-27714628717986319952008-10-21T11:39:00.000+08:002008-10-21T11:39:00.000+08:00to cute little angel...i'm not sure whether people...to cute little angel...<BR/><BR/>i'm not sure whether people are intimidated by female doctors.
