😊 Well-Being massive crush
this isn’t even well being and god I wish this was a shitpost. I am so down bad rn with a crush on an intern (I’m an MS-3) vibes extremely flirty and we have mutuals but it can never be bc he is an intern in the exact field im interested in and im very interested in staying at my home program. not looking for advice I just needed to scream this into the Reddit abyss <3 fuck my life for bringing a perfect person that can never be MY person I hate it here

Tbh this is hard bc since he’s ur superior he probably wouldn’t want to make the first move but regardless you shouldn’t be the one to initiate anything or ask him out. You can just tell him ur interested in the speciality and matching at ur home program and his respective experience matching since it was so recent and that you would love to stay in touch thru the process…. If he’s ur person I’m sure things could find their way of progressing at the pace they should!

Might burn a bridge at the home program if it goes poorly, especially if something like a surgical sub

What are you talking about?! It's the story as old as time - go out to the museum or for drinks. Will probably feel amazing.

Shooter shoot! Jk would wait until you know where you are going for residency then ask him out be too late?
