i'm a senior, 18 years old and I'm really good friends with a young teacher at my school. he's 24 and very cute and funny. I had him for a class a couple years ago and we still talk all the time and I hang out in his room after school sometimes.
on friday I was hanging in his room and we were just talking about school and graduation and whatever. I made some comment about my yearbook picture and he said "don't pretend you don't know how beautiful you are." he is usually really careful about not saying anything that would be considered inappropriate.
we walked out of school to the parking lot; almost everyone else had gone. I had to get a ride because my car was being serviced. he offered to give me a ride and I laughed because I thought he was joking. but he was serious and he offered again. I was like "are you seriously offering to give me a ride home?"
and he shrugged and said "or wherever." and the way he said it made me seriously nervous. I told him that someone was already coming to get me, which was a lie.
i think he might be interested in me as more than just a teacher/student relationship. but I am worried about him, and how much trouble he could get in if he tries this again/with another girl. he is going to lose his job and mess up his life.
do you think he was just being nice, and should I say something to him?
Seems like you have a couple of red flags being raised and you should pay attention to them. There's nothing to say to him about this as the comments and offer of a ride can be explained away as friendly gestures. However, friendly gestures towards students by teachers are frowned upon because they can be precursors to other more inappropriate events.
Your story reads to me like you are a bit smitten with the attention from this teacher, but you're also right that it could mess up his career. Maybe it's time to limit the contact.
i can be almost sure that it wasn't just a being nice gesture.
so what I say is he have a thing for you or whatever .
if things got more than this between you two or he spoke to you about this tell him your worries . the job thing and his future ! tell him it's not worth losing everything.
I think he was just being nice. Obviously you share a special relationship that isn't like any other student, and I think he trusted you enough that he would offer you a ride in his car.
This guy is 24 and there's a huge maturity gap between the two of you. I think he understands better than anybody the amount of trouble if your relationship got out of hand.
i think you should just be careful and I know you like to hang out with him and all but the comments that he makes are quite inappropriate. try not to be alone when he's around. I know that it may seem harmless at first but if I were you I'd nip it in the bud before anything else happens. worry about your own safety first before trying to be nice. he's an adult and he knows what he's doing so don't think that his being nice to you should let you ease up on your guard. just be extra careful around him. btw, I'm really glad you didn't get in the car with him. who knows what could've happened.
I encountered an article on good old GirlsAskGuys that frankly pissed me off a bit, and felt I had to counter respond.The article seemed to indicate that if a guy is friends with a girl then she...
This is the number one reason why some men get a ton of women and other men get none. Fear of rejection is something that almost every man has to deal with at some point in his life, as it is the most...
