Basically, I believe you should have called a friend, other than this new guy, and handled your medical emergency without his help. If you're interested in him, don't pull him into the drama after a first date. Give him a chance to enjoy the potential for an easy-going, care-free encounter that could become something more. Personally, if he turns down the hospital experience, let that be o.k. If you don't, he'll get that you're full of expectations that he embrace your drama.

With one of my girlfriends, it was migraines. I learned (she taught me) after the third date that she expected me to "perform rituals" when you felt one coming on. Instead of going to bed or chillin' as people with migraines do, she needed me to "be there" with a cool wash cloth, being quiet and careful not to wear cologne. It got old at once. And yes, I did like here. But I'm not a nurse.
