How would you interpret this?

[bashfull]

I met a female doctor for a drink (friendly, not a date). Afterwards, she texted me. And
Banter continued over text the next day. At one point, I asked if I get to play with her stethoscope. Her reply: "I will teach you how to use it and then you can play the doctor and I will be the patient".

My question: was she flirting with me? I have always been a bit dense about women coming on to me, often needing a direct kick in the shins. I usually believe they are just being nice and kidding around with me. Further compounded by the fact I am just unwinding from a very long relationship and out of practice.

That was flirting, for sure.

Defo flirting

That's definitely flirting.
Magic moments like these come totally unplanned, not necessarily on a 'date'. Go along with the flow.
Maybe check if your heartbeats match each other's.
Then lean in for a kiss and see if they still match.

It’s flirting language, of course, but in my opinion, it doesn’t necessarily mean she was flirting or wanting more
Perhaps she was hoping you would respond in kind, and it was a full on flirt; or perhaps she was reacting to the crude joke with a reflex response, to joke or brush it aside. I’m guessing it’s not the first time she’s heard that on a date lol
I think her expression, body language etc when and after she said that are more informative than the words

i read this as her green light hoping you will take the next step and make the first move...i feel like a woman doesnt go out for drinks or dinner with you and continue messaging with you unless she likes you, assuming she hasnt made it clear that you are in the friend zone and she isnt interested in romance. just my opinion.

Time to suit up Mr. Bond. Make ready with the innuendos and counter banter. Don't forget the martinis.

Actually when I "flirted" back, turns out it was unwanted. *shrug*. Said it wasn't "neighborly" conversation.

sorry to hear that. at least you put yourself out there and now know for sure. there was no harm in trying if you were polite and im sure she will see it that way too. just be respectful of the boundary.

 

[Divindisguise]

It all depends on her emotions at the time. At the time when she flirted, and again at the time when she rejected you. I'm sorry you had to experience that.

 

[dombeotch]

Flirting, with an open invitation to explore her further....

 

[AnnyMouse28]

Was she a friend before you meet for drinks? If not meeting for drinks imo was a date and yes she was flirting with you. If she was a friend before the drinks tread lightly because while she was flirting that doesn’t necessarily mean she wants to cross the line.

I have a male friend and we flirt with each other all the time. But neither one of us is looking for a romantic relationship with the other. It’s just silly and fun.

 

[bashfull]

Update: turns out she wasn't flirting. She was serious about using her stethoscope and even said her blood pressure cuff. Lmao. However, we did end up flirting and kissing later.

She may mean just like a doctor shows a child or kidding around. I think you’ll have to play it out and see, if you want to. If shows you how in the nude, I’d start asking questions

Oops didn’t see the above.
Kissing is good and now you know how to use more medical devices properly.

Well yea!

God people play such confusing games. I would have thought it was flirting too.
Reminds me of when I was younger and single. I was shit at picking up signals and then the ones I did pick up on were wrong.
I think I would rather stay single now days.
