Would you date a psychologist? (love, friend, partner, alcoholic)

Not a chance
It's on my list of professions to never even look twice at:

Cops
Firemen
Psychologists/Psychiatrists
Teachers
Bartenders
Strippers
Massage therapists

I'm in graduate school for counseling psychology, and most of us are married.

Agreed. There are really cool people in my program, as well as ultra-annoying people in my program. I'm pretty sure they'd be that way whether they were getting graduate degrees in psychology, graduate degrees in business, or what have you.

LOL, you're being observed and analyzed all the time whether or not you're with a psychologist! It's what people do, observe and analyze. Pretty much every single conversation anybody ever has about relationships spells that out, loud and clear!

I would probably annoy the crap out of him just to hear him say "bi t ch " once instead of talking calmly all the time.

[rbohm]

i would, but if she started psychoanalyzing me, i would mess with her mind constantly.

Sure, if we were compatible in many areas, including chemistry. I think it would be really fun, honestly. Psychology is one of my favorite disciplines.
