just a random question
I know of a real, slightly different case, where I met the couple. They were my much older sister's friends. I'll keep their anonymity, if that's OK.
Maybe you'll find it interesting, still?
If you think it's irrelevant just delete the comment.
She was what in the USA would be a high school teacher. He was a high school student. The attraction was there, but she shut him down over and over. She told him such crushes do happen, however it was just a passing fancy. He'd forget all about it when high school ended.
That is what a teacher should do. She did everything right, explained to the student all the reasons it would be wrong - some are in other comments - and potentially abusive and moved on. Bear in mind these were the more more conservative, in that regard at least, 80s.
But the now young man didn't forget his former teacher. He didn't have a teacher fetish - no, I'm not going to web search it for your sick pleasure, go listen to Van Halen's "Hot for teacher" or something - but was interested in the woman he met. When High School was over he tried again.
She turned him down flat. She said it was inappropriate and he was going to college. He would surely find someone he like there.
It would take until his second year of college for her to even agree to speak with him again. They talked in a public place. The man explained to her that this was no crush, that he really liked her and while he understood the possible backlash of society he would brunt it with her, and he would like at least like one date, something outside the previous context, just one chance to find out what they would be as a couple, and if she was capable of feeling the same way.
She did and last I knew, they married and had already 2 kids. Might be more now.
Bonus Answer from me: you can enter college at any age, for all kinds of degrees. You are bound to meet teachers your age. I would never date a current teacher - conflict of interest and too messy - but I would have no problem dating a former one, or one I didn't have in the curriculum.01 Reply

+1 yI would not. However I did grow up in a small town in the midwest and we had several instances of seniors dating 1st year teachers. It was never out in the open but there are no secrets in a small town. Two of the teachers later married their students who they had dated while they were in school.

Also, a teacher that is caught dating one of his/her students will never ever be able to find a teaching job because no school or educational institution wants to take the risk to hire a person with a history of dating students. The teacher's teaching career is over and out. Who wants to take that risk?
I personally would not because I am not interested in dating.

10 ReplyIts normal to feel like that at your age. I did too. But as the adult/teacher, they should never engage in that. 2 female teachers (that i knew of, there were probably more) in my old high school engaged in inappropriate relationships with students and not only did they get fired, they were put on a s** offender registry as well. A good teacher would not accept any advances from a student or initiate them.
00 ReplyThat's a great way to get your professor fired, especially at a leftist State-run university of today, where they'll conduct an investigation just for speaking to a female and not maintaining the proper eye contact.

+1 yNope. I don't mix business with pleasure. Ever. No matter how tempting. So anyone at work or place where I'm supposed to learn automatically becomes unattractive in my eyes.
11 ReplyNah honestly I wouldn't care if they were my teacher... aside from it being unethical according to our society. If we are both over age and we are interested, I would totally do it.

+1 yNo way. There’s an imbalance in the power dynamic that makes such relationships dangerous to at least one partner, and highly inappropriate for both.
