I met this guy(my therapist) who was older and seems really intelligent and mature. So we went on a date and it was just ok. I wanted to give him another chance because he is the kind of guy I need in my life. Anyway, we set something up, but I really wasn't in to his idea of a date. I was supposed to meet him after work. But I forgot. My roomate had some people over and I really hit it off with one guy that was there. We all decided to go to the movies and I completely forgot my date. Well, he texted me "hope everything is ok...call me and let me know what's going on". I feel completely stupid and horrible. I've never done this to anyone before. Should I just text back "sorry it's been a long day, not feeling well"? I don't want to hurt his feelings.

He's your therapist, you should always tell your therapist the truth even though you should not be dating your therapist.

Well, if you completely forgot about the date, he must not be that important to you. Especially if you really hit it off with another guy. The writing's on the wall. One thing you could do is be upfront, and say you're reconsidered, and decided you're not comfortable dating your (former) therapist.

I don't really expect you'd do that, but it would be something he should hear.

I thought therapist knew not to date their patients..Seems creepy.

Also seems weird that the first date was "just ok" and you weren't into the idea of a second date, but you agreed anyway. Forget wasting his time, why waste your own?

This therapist apparently needs as much help as his client

Apologize, but remember you owe him the $150 fee anyway since you didn't give him 24 hours notice.

LOL, first it's the "should I date the person I entrusted my inner most thoughts, even though it's not ethical, which could lead to losing his license" thread.

Now it's oh no, even though I didn't listen to any of the people on my other "cry for help" thread, I will toss up a fresh one to ask the same people a new question which I won't listen any of their valid replies.

You did it on purpose, because you know deep down that it's never healthy to date a well educated predator, even if he is good looking and twice your age. Good job SDF's conscious ^5
