How to deal with a dominant personality type ? Someone who tries to dominate you and the people around themselves and the situation

Does anyone else constantly get mistaken for a nurse? I get it, I'm 5'4 and Black and work in pediatrics, but the assumption and casual racism is kind of ridiculous when the actual nurse has just told you that the doctor's coming and then I walk in the door. Doesn't really help when I'm one of the only Black on-call physicians. Annoying.

Had an associate of mine recently confront me and say he has a crush on me. Told him nope and that would be very unprofessional.

I’m growing concerned he is holding something against me.

How should I approach this?
