Dear doctor love,

I was overjoyed when my crush asked me on a date last week. He took me to a romantic dinner and later on we went to the beach. It was a warm summer evening and we watched the sun set over the ocean. We talked for hours and had loads of fun.

But then the strangest thing happened. Out of the blue he started giving me a foot massage. I didn't know what to think. Was it just a romantic gesture or is he a total creep? Help?!

Kind regards,

Desperate anonymous
