Would you date your therapist?

[flyinshark]

I'm doing something called "counseling" cuz it's free at my university, and it's pretty much like going in therapy, where you talk about your problems and try to become a stronger person.

These are individual sessions, just me and my counselor, and i find her quite attractive. She's young, between 22 and 25 i'd say, and we have a good vibe. Of course, it's her job to give me a good vibe, so i don't have any high expectations, but i was wondering about trying to see if she would be open for a date when we are done with my therapy.

But is this a smart idea? Assume she accepted. Is it smart to date a girl that knows everything about you? All your thoughts and how you usually are around women? I think it goes against the "being mysterious" strategy, but i'd like to hear what you guys think.

Anyone ever dated their therapist? haha.. (Anyone ever been in therapy? )

Well, in a LTR, the girl would eventually learn about you anyway. With your therapist I suppose the process is already sped up. I don't know what you discussed with her, but who knows, maybe she finds you attractive for it. Regardless, she likely has a policy about dating "clients".

As a side note, I'd hate to date a therapist, as I wouldn't want to be mentally picked apart, disected, examined and tested by her.

All I can say is, if you don't need her for the therapy, it's not like you have anything to lose for trying.
