Regular guy: A male doctor will be a regular guy -- no special category for doctor unless he has some confidence issues of his own. Their social skills are as variable as anyone else's. Being tipsy on a first date with anyone is not wise. Even doctors can be exploitative, or otherwise not be the ones you want in your life long-term. Good luck to you.

Just be yourself: I am not an expert in relationship, but trying to be someone else is not a good thing. Doctors, (we are people too) like people in any other professions, some are good, some are not so good, some are excellent. So, i would not let the stereotype cause you anxiety. Be yourself. If it works out, congrats. If it is not a right match, maybe the next time. So, don't sweat! good luck.
