Would you date a teacher? Why/why not?

Yes

No

I am a teacher, and here in South Korea, there's only three types of foriegners: teachers, college students, and military. I would date a Korean or foriegner, but I have slightly better odds (although 0.5% is hardly better than 0.25%) with women who are foriegners than local women. And most of them are going to be teachers.

I don't see why anyone wouldn't date a teacher, though. Is there some unknown stigma I'm unaware of? Like, I get why some people wouldn't date cops or military personnel, but why teachers?

Probably not, a lot of people are teachers because they went to college straight out of highschool for it and I Don't like people with no life experience. A lot of those types think they're smarter than they are and I can't stand the ego that usually goes with that.

I wouldn't write someone off for being a teacher, I just wouldn't expect to be interested in them romantically.

I would have. When I was in my senior year, I asked my professor out to dinner. She said that she was flattered, but her policy was to never date her students or meet with them outside of office hours. I had to respected that then, and I still do.

I dated a teacher before (Not my teacher) it was when I was 38 and she was 42.
It was fine.
They do have a stressful job so be prepared to listen to her vent about her frustrating day.
Otherwise she was lots of fun.

I mean why not? I m not even sure I have an explanation because it feels like the question is a bit lopsided. Is a teacher a bad thing when it comes to relationships or what exactly is the context?

[WesBrewer]

I would, and because I don't see it as something that would be bad or annoying. although she might be in trouble if she was my teacher lol.

It would suck not being able to take holidays outside of end of term but thats what i'm going to face with my kids in a few years anyway. I've known teachers and ex teachers, they are good people

Many of my relatives including my sister have been teachers. Teaching is an honorable profession. I would most definitely date a teacher.

[Avicenna]

Yeah, absolutely. It’s my favorite profession for dating-half of my gfs have been or became teachers.

[Lliam]

Sure, as long as they weren't older than me and I wasn't their student.

[Twalli]

Not a teacher of mine or former teacher. I would date someone that is a teacher though. Currently my only relationship with a teacher is my sister (she is one).

I would consider it. But a lot of teachers is already married and in their 30's or older.
