I am 10 years younger than him
| Thu, 06-28-2007 - 8:00pm |
I am 22 years old and will be graduating college this year and begin teaching. The man I am seeing is a teacher (32 years old), in fact he was my highschool teacher. I really want to know if it is wrong to date him. We are very attracted to each other and have a lot in common. I care for him and he cares for me as well. The other night was the first time we actually went out on a date. Before that it was phone calls, emails, and texts. I do not want to ruin his job and I am in desperate need of advice.
Is seeing him wrong?
Would others frown upon this?
Please help!

Legally, you can't "ruin" his job. Is it wrong to date him? No, not at all. Will others "frown" upon this? Well, that's a different story. I'm not saying people should frown upon it, but depending on the type of community in which he teaches, things could be a potential issue for him, in terms of being uncomfortable. You would need to think about things...like for example, if one of your friends from high school were to get married in a few months, would you be willing to take him as your date if he were your boyfriend?
Go for it if you want to...just know there could be some hurdles, but nothing you can't necessarily overcome.
