text: help, what should i do, time is running out? i work at a hospital and there is this cute guy who is a patient here.  how should i let him know that i am interested?  on a professional level ethically you cannot tell him unless it is a business relationship you are looking for (eg he's a dr. you are a nurse)...   if you are looking for any other type of relationship (ie friendship or more) you will have to wait until he has been released and then have some time pass (at least a few months) before you can give him the message...
