I am a decent-looking guy and it seems my female dentist has been flirting with me. She talks to me a lot, sometimes she rests her hand on my shoulder while she talks. The other day I made a joke and she reached over and gently pinched my mouth with her thumb on one side and index finger on the other side. You know, the way parents do that with their little kids when they try to force them to open their mouth. She did that while she was waiting for her assistant to finish something.
I could be wrong, and that stuff doesn't mean anything.
Should I test the waters more or should I be direct and ask her out. If she accepts, though, I think I'd need to find a new dentist. Could be awkward. A catch 22.

The other day???
I see you live in New Jersey.
So like, all this sexy stuff was going on in an opened dental office just the other day while we're in the middle of a pandemic?

It's called bedside manner.

So it's a children's dentist you go to...

What are you going to say? "Hey, would you like me to drill YOUR molar???"
I have this dentist, he is from a different culture than me, and in his culture, the very first time I even met him for a consultation, he gave me two kisses, one on each cheek. When I was sitting in the consultation chair, he went to what I thought was shake my hand, but he held my hand for a very long time while he proceeded to explain the upcoming procedure. During the procedure, he constantly called me "My love..." He also has called me on the phone to talk a few times, about non-dentist stuff. And no, not once do I think he is "flirting" with me. Or that he wants to go out with me. That is just his nature.
OP, you could kind of play dumb next time that happens. When she touches you, wither to pinch your cheek, or to rest her arm on your shoulder, get kind of wide-eyed, as ask her, "Are you allowed to do that? Aren't we supposed to be practicing safety measures against Covid?" I guarantee, it won't happen again.

I have a different take on your interesting cross-cultural experience. Some men exploit the difference in cultures, and Americans' (or anyone not from their culture's) naivety about what's acceptable behavior. Some, like your dentist, milk it to the max. "My love"? Seriously?? I'm not buying, that "that's just his culture", or "his nature".
Yeah, it's apparently his nature to try to make moves on his woman customers, through quasi-ambiguous gestures he can pretend are part of his culture, that I believe.
I missed this. Do you want to ask her out?! I guess, judging by your question, you don't feel like following my earlier advice, to get her to back off.
In that case, I have no advice for you. You're on your own. Jeez.
She might be pinching you to see if the Novocain has taken effect.
That's it!
