Having a type is normal – being physically attracted to similar traits. But are we being too superficial? Could we be missing out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My friend was really into doctors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a big city with plenty of hospitals and surgeries around, it\u2019s not like there was a shortage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day she got very sick at work and ended up in A&E. I rushed down to meet her there. It was a long day of watching an endless stream of strangers with ailments of varying kinds come and go from this little waiting room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make the best out of a bad situation, we enjoyed keeping an eye on the doctors who walked past the doorway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While my friend was getting another test run, I spotted a rather handsome blonde doctor in a maroon shirt walking by. She\u2019ll like him – I thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On her return I teased her a little – just wait till you see this doctor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventually he reappeared, walking slowly down the corridor. My friend turned a deeper shade of maroon than his shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve matched online\u201d, she said, \u201cbut never met. And now I look like this!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She looked okay, but best to say 8 plus hours in A&E wasn\u2019t the \u2018meet cute\u2019 she was after\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turns out having doctors as your ‘type’ isn\u2019t always the most convenient of choices\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to dating, everybody has a ‘type’, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
