too late ?
| Mon, 10-30-2006 - 1:44pm |
about a year ago, i met a guy online who is a student in my university and who teaches some classes (he's 4 years older). We got along really well and spent all our time together. We never had a real date, but after a while i felt that he had feelings for me (he also told one of my friends). The thing is, i was coming out of a really bad break up and wasn't ready to date. I guess he felt i didn't have the same feelings, because he backed off and i didn't hear from him during the holidays.
I saw him about a month ago, and realized what a special guy he is, and that maybe i'm thinking of him as more than a friend...
the BIG PROBLEM is that a few days ago, i went to one of my courses and he was the teacher ! it was a bit awkward, but we laughed about it afterwards and he even flirted a little (but not in the same way than last year).
What do you think i should do ? i'm really starting to have feelings for him.

If he's your teacher, it's a moot point for the time being...these days, most schools have very strict rules about no dating between teachers and students (even if the teacher is also a student).
So I would be friendly with him but put any romantic feelings on hold as best you can until you are no longer in a teacher/student position.

I want to endorse Sheri's comment. A good friend of mine nearly got fired for dating a student. It could get this guy into real trouble if he is dating you, so until the class is over, keep it a student-teacher relationship.

Is he your teacher just until Dec or straight thru to May -if just for this semester you just have a little over a month until this awkward situation is over
