Is it a good idea to ask out my former middle school teacher?

[Anonymous]

I crushed on her in school, I saw her again recently and learned that she lives around where I do.

I think it's a little weird. But it's not inappropriate or wrong in any way. It's just... weird for any teacher to be like "Oh,. right... Chris... I remember you as a little boy when I was teaching years ago. Would I like to date the grown-up version of that little boy? You're damn right I would (and now she's trying to put a beard and pubes on 11 year old you in her head... and... I could see this being a bit of a trip for her.

You may want to think about this one before acting. You might end up ruining a piece of your childhood.

Right, with all the women in this world, why is he still fixated on a middle school teacher when he's age 25-29? Very weird. Most people have moved up and on exploring the world and meeting new people. It sounds like he doesn't get out at all

[Twalli]

Since she's not your teacher anymore, it isn't as weird, but she's probably in a different stage of life than you are if she was old enough to be your teacher when you were in middle school. Also, judging by what I knew of the teachers I crushed on high school, ALL of them were in relationships.

[Asker]

She was pretty young for a teacher, she's seemed so focused on her career that she wasn't in a relationship.

All she can do is say yes or no. It will probably be no, most women aren't interested in men who are considerably younger.

Yes it’s fine. I liked my teacher as well. Ask her very soon out on a date and take her to a fancy candlelight restaurant: Does she still look good? How old is she now

[Asker]

She still looks very good, she's 36.

[Iron_Man]

she was a very young teacher

[Asker]

Yep, someone asked her why she was teaching instead sitting down.

[DrPepper12]

Slow down!! Yes it's fine but ease into it if she's even interested.

[Panthero80]

I think it would be hard to think of a former middle school student as an adult.

[Asker]

Maybe, she did say I've grown into a fine and handsome young man.

[serious]

No, it is a bad idea.

[Asker]

Why?

[serious]

Come on!. Age difference and plus who knows she might be married now with kids. PLus most importantly how do you even know she was interested or will be interested in you now?

Hence you should just live your life rather than trying to think about the possibility of asking your middle school teacher out.

[Asker]

She told me she's not married and doesn't have kids, she then smiled and asked why I was so interested.

You need to get out more

[Asker]

Not really an answer.

[Babebytheshore85]

@asker it's an answer. You're fixated on a teacher from the past when there are women everywhere. This shows you don't get out much or at all to know this so you are stuck on all you know. Get out more and I guarantee you your mind will change. I think it's just a crush and your teacher could have someone

[Asker]

No, I get out a lot, perhaps it's best to not try and diagnose a stranger on the internet.

[Babebytheshore85]

@asker you are the one asking for advice not us. So how's it going for you doing things your way? Right , not good. So enjoy being single for the rest of your life day dreaming in your closet about your middle school teacher who has no interest in you lol

[Asker]

Troll

[Babebytheshore85]

So as a troll, have you had any luck with the teacher? How's that going? Exactly lol 😆 guess I'm an award winning troll 🎊🥴

[Asker]

Yes I have actually, just got a date. How's the bridge holding up?

[Babebytheshore85]

Lying to me won't make your wish come true

[Asker]

Trolling me won't make you any smarter.

[Babebytheshore85]

Truth isn't trolling. You're the one struggling asking us for help so humble yourself retard. She's not with you for a reason

[itsannalee]

You both adults, do what you need to do

[Abbycado]

You’re both adults, so…
