No, it's probably me. I'm just having a bad day and am messing up all around.

He doesn't want to seem rejecting. Rejecting, in your efforts to seduce, would have been like saying-no, I get nothing from you-I am all about benevolence and treating patients. At the same time, he doesn't want to be too accepting either.

I can't see how he is being provocative (but understand you are totally seeing him that way). I just think he cannot be rejecting. He has to let you seem like you seduce him. Because rejecting that right now is rejecting you.

Sorry, I can't find a good way to explain it. Maybe someone else will. I probably should sign off now.
