As one of my favorites lives in my subdivision!!

Sweet!

Many people see their OB/GYN, proctologist, nurse, and various other people with intimate body knowledge at their home-owners association or neighborhood. Providers are little different.

Just as my MD doesn't say "How's your hemorrhoids?" at the HOA meetings, I doubt that any provider would shun you or embarrass you at home. So long as you're amicable about it and you're not trying to be too personal - say you nod & smile acknowledgement/ hello in the complex - you should be fine.

If you have doubts, ask that particular provider when you make contact if this is an issue.
Chances are - If you are cool about it, she'll likely be as well.

Don't try to mix her biz with her personal life .... That's a huge no no!!

Too close for comfort.

I have a similar situation. Great reviews and, according to her photos and the emails we exchanged she has every thing I have ever wanted in a provider and friend. Can not say for sure, but all the signs are there. We were planning a date and my first question always is; what part of town are you in? She started to describe where her private home in-call local was and as she went on I thought OMG I drive down her street to take my kids to school. She gave me her address and not only was I correct, but my daughter's BFF lives on the street behind her and my son has a friend living across the street. SHIT!!! I cannot stop thinking about it now. I'm sure I saw her in the supermarket a few days ago ...can you say HOT? and that made it worse. We did promise to meet up somewhere in a galaxy far, far away (A hotel ISTP). I have no problem bumping into her around the hood, we are grown-ups. Who is to say I would not run into another one of my "special friends" at a ball game or comedy club? Similar risk.  But we may have a mutual friend that knows every thing about us. What to do. Thanks for listening.
