OK,
I had a nice professor who I ran into on an online application and started chatting back and forth...(Before I go any further, I have to say that I'm in my mid 20's-I'm not a college freshman so this is not creepy in the sense that he could take advantage of me. Also, my grade has been posted a while back and I'm not taking other classes with him.)... Nothing special and I didnt add him to my list until after the class ended as to not mix class (business) with anything else. We had some teasingly flirty email exchanges--I had my girlfriends read them as to be sure I wasnt just imagining it. I sent him a happy birthday email and a virtual drink to which he asked where his real one was...I was coy and said you tell me...he said it was waiting to be bought! So I suggested a night to buy him a drink. We met up and I thought it would be an hour and a half max...lasted over 5 hours. He was so much fun to talk to! We talked about our families, where we grew up, he mentioned his ex...so he's single, we traded stories, talked about all the good stuff-politics, religion, ect. We didn't talk about class other than to say this or that came up in class. IE/not a study session. And I admit it, when he went to the washroom I pulled my chair a little closer so that our knees could just barely touch. I flirted a little by touching his knee when I started to say something and I noticed his eyes looking up and down a few times over the course of the night and I didn't mind.
I think I was a bit awkward at the goodbye when he stopped I gave him a little hug and suggested we do it again. Now he didnt hug me back-it was quick and light, and I think i might have surprised him maybe, cause his face did light up when I suggested we do it again and he seemed in agreance but he wasnt looking directly at me, but his face did light up :-). There's over 10 year age difference and he's a professor so I dont want to be pushy. I think he had a good time as well, and if he was uncomfortable with my flirting I would think he would have found a reason--like it being late to wrap things up-but he didn't. We closed the bar.
I'd like to get to know him as a person better. On an intellectual level I'm hooked, but I don't know about romance, but that is due to him being a prof and me a student. If he were not a prof, but had all the same views and knowledge I wouldn't hesistate to email him. I don't want to cause trouble for him. I could be very much attracted to him but I'm also a bit timid about the idea and I don't want to seem like I am presuing him-even if I kinda am! In the end, if it even matters anyhow I'd like to be friendly with him. It hasn't quite been a week and I haven't heard from him. He knows how to contact me, but I wondering if I should wait on it some more then send him some sort of email. The hard part is I don't know what to say!! Please help me!!
Thanks!
