Gunners and the Rules of Dating

Does anyone remember the beginning of med school, where we were warned of gunners and learned that it carries a very negative connotation? Let's review.
Gunner: A person who is competitive,overly-ambitious and substantially exceeds minimum requirements. A gunner will compromise his/her peer relationships and/or reputation among peers in order to obtain recognition and praise from his/her superiors.

My current partner tends to fit this discription. Now, I'm not saying he's an ass. He's actually really nice and I find it easy to get along with him. And I did confront him on 1. his reputation that is quickly turning toward gunner and 2. the elevator situation. He basically said that he's not "gunning" and that people can think whatever they want. Also, the elevator situation was a misunderstanding. But he thanked me for letting him know. Because honestly, I'm going to tell you once and leave it.

Some Evidence that supports the assumption of gunner:
1. he currently has 5 patients. I have 3. I offered to pick up another, and the resident told me that it would be too much, and to not do it. It was better to know 2-3 patients well than more and not so well. But I don't understand why he feels the need to have so many. Why can't we have the same number?
2. He stays behind and tells me to go home and he'll "wrap it up". Most of the time I don't care. But when the resident says "You're carrying the list" or "you're going to make a great intern" it causes me to worry that I am being outshined, even though I'm doing exactly what I was told to do. And even though I want to do path, it doesn't mean I don't want to do my job and carry my weight as well.
3. The hovering. Maybe that's more of a pet peeve thing, but the looking over the shoulder while you write notes. Or "dont' forget to put down renal consult". Or even looking through the papers I'm holding IN MY HAND to "make sure the resident note wasn't in the stack".

Bottom line: no one wants to work with him. He's gotten a bad rap amongst students. Maybe the gunners do get the better recs and maybe his eval will say "awesome hard worker, great student, knows everythign" and mine will say "average", but the fact that I haven't heard one person want to be his partner on VA is concerning. I would hate if anyone thought i was a gunner. Or even worse a slacker. I think i would honestly cry if I found out NO ONE wanted to be my partner. I would just think with the feedback i gave him he would have calmed down some. Seems like it just made him worse. In a way I'd like a resident to tell him that he needs to cool it. But i know that won't happen. I just dont' want a bad evaluation myself because I seriously feel like I'm being outdone.

Speaking of bad evaluations, how about we talk about all the things NOT to say to a girl you've recently met and/or started showing interest in, shall we?
1. Don't ask "what does it take to get into your pants" 30 min after we start texting each other. it's a quick road the the "do not respond" list.
2. don't text me with your random thoughts or to wish me a good call. As endearing as some people may find this, it annoys me. stop.
3. Don't start talking to me and immediately tell me you're into a "no strings attached f-buddy relationship" or tell me you're not into monogamy or having kids. I mean, seriously?

So yeah, that sums up the last few days. I still hate medicine, and I hate not having a day off even more. What's worse is I'll be post call the day of my test. Can't wait to see what that grade is going to be. Speaking of post call, I'm off to bed.
