Is it FATE that I always bump into him?

[MsAviator]

Every time I walk on my way to class, I always bump into him (my crush) and usually, he is behind me, no matter how late or early I am, I always!!!
Yes, but are these signs he might like me back?
1. Today when he was explaining things in class, I kept a tally to how much he would look at me in a two hour period. 100 + (I did a tally) times in a two hour period. I played a little game with him. I would look at the board and out of my peripheral, I caught him. He lingered for a few seconds and looked away. I caught him so many times yet he kept making eye contact with me. He was looking me directly in the eyes. So if he was phasing out and saw me looking at him, assuming if he was not interested, he would not continuing giving eye contact to show he's not interested. He didn't do that.
2. I moved really close to him. He did not Move away.
3. His body was facing me the entire time I was in class. He sat in the front right row yet he faced his body in my direction. I caught him staring at me and when someone was in our way, he even sat back into his seat so he could take a glimpse of me. He stood up tall when he was facing me and had his hands on his waists.
4. When I talked to him, his pupils were dilated even in a bright well lighted class.

So does he like me? If so, why won't he initiate conversation other than classwork?

Is this your professor again or another dude presumably obsessed with you. If you live in the same area, and have business at the same places, you're going to run into each other a lot. It's not unusual.

[MsAviator]

Yes, my professor (embarrassingly).

[CommieDearest]

Sounds pretty creepy

[MsAviator]

Me or him? 0.0?

[CommieDearest]

him.

[MsAviator]

In what way 0.0? He's not ugly, fat, old or anything.

[CommieDearest]

He's in a position of authority over a young girl. Why is it only creepy if he's unattractive?

[MsAviator]

Wait woah. You're saying he might be attracted to me?

[CommieDearest]

Oh ffs don't act so oblivious. You obviously already think that, it can't be a surprise.

[sdistotallyme]

well... why don't you do something about this? Ask him about his weekend plans or something. Go get dinner.

[MsAviator]

Thing is I am afraid of getting rejected and reported :( Worst heartbreak of the century.

[sdistotallyme]

reported? You think he going to file a restraining order or something? You need to give this guy stronger signals.

[BertMacklinFBI]

its not fate, its just a coincidence.

[MsAviator]

Yes but what do you think about the attraction?

[BertMacklinFBI]

well the attraction can be real

[MsAviator]

Here's the twist. He is my professor.

[BertMacklinFBI]

and you're legal age of consent in your area?

[MsAviator]

I'm turning 18 tomorrow seriously and he is 27. The legal age in Australia is 16.

[BertMacklinFBI]

then I don't see a problem.

[MsAviator]

Bro, I'm planning to ask him out after the course finishes so it does not breach the academic conduct. I have his email so I would probably ask him along the lines of that I need help with my pilot's license stuff but only he can explain things that I can understand and patiently, not the instructors. And so I want to keep in contact with him.

[BertMacklinFBI]

yeah go for it then, it doesn't seem wrong if you're doing it right right? lol

[MsAviator]

Should I go for it? Are the success rates as much as icing developing on the aerofoil about -40 degrees Celsius? Lol

[BertMacklinFBI]

even if it were to have a high rate of failure, I would still tell you to go for it because its a good experience and because if you don't even try then you've already failed and you will always be living in the thought of "what if" and regret.

[MsAviator]

Next week will be the last time I will ever see him again. *sniffs* And he is single.

[BertMacklinFBI]

take a leap, because win or lose, its worth it.

[MsAviator]

How should I flirt and ask him out? Please help! He can't make the first move because he is scared that I might report him and he will get disbarred.

[BertMacklinFBI]

okay well obviously wait until the course is over and you have no more affiliation with the program or the school or whatever it is, then just literally, walk up to him and ask him if he wants to go grab a coffee and get to know each other.

[MsAviator]

What do you think are the chance of successes by the looks of it, bro?

[BertMacklinFBI]

well if he is even slightly interested in you then success is rated at near 100%

[MsAviator]

But the problem lies where (he initiates conversations outside classwork and when I emailed him a topic about stuff unrelated to stuff he never replied except answering the question related to class. You think he is disinterested or trying to play it safe?).

[BertMacklinFBI]

playing it safe obviously, he doesn't wanna get in trouble.

[MsAviator]

I tried to flirt. I said "nice shirt" and all he said was thanks. He does stare at me a lot from a distance but he cannot look into my eyes when we are close together. And when he does his pupils are dilated. But usually a guy wouldn't look at a girl again if she caught him AND she isn't attractive, right?

[BertMacklinFBI]

"nice shirt" hahaa that is so cute:D well the way you put it, yeah most likely he wouldn't look again.

[MsAviator]

Since we are both pilots, my pick up line: um...*blushes* do you like planes?

[BertMacklinFBI]

hahaa that's kinda good actually because its obvious :D

[internet_guy]

if he isn't initiating, why can't you? , it's better to approach rather than waiting for days

[MsAviator]

You're right. Next week is the last time I will see him. Ever.

[Anonymous]

No offense but its questions like these that make me not see women as equal to men. It's the 21st century and girls still won't make a move like were still in the 1950's.

[MsAviator]

I am afraid of getting rejected. My parents are too olfd fashioned and said if I got rejected, I die. Lol. Loss of ego, etc.

[MsAviator]

And I tried to make a move? A said "nice shirt" but he only said a mere "thanks" :(

[Opinion Owner]

Lol what do you expect him to say "Thanks, lets fuck."?

[MsAviator]

LOL. Maybe "nice dress" back or anything.

[Opinion Owner]

Remember he's trying to keep it professional. Why do the young girls always fall for guys so much older?

[MsAviator]

But do you think he might be attracted to me, but trying to get over it? Thing is, I played that eye contact game. If he was just phasing out and not attracted to me, he would never look at me again after he got caught. My other professors only look at me 3-4 times at most or even none in a three to two hour period. I mean if you were spacing out and this unattractive girl caught you looking at her, you won't look again, right?

[Opinion Owner]

I don't look at unattractive girls so if it was me then ya that means I'd wanna get it on. Your under 18 it says this guys old enough to be your dad almost!

[MsAviator]

If he had me at 10 lol. He is 27.

[Opinion Owner]

Lol. I personally like being a lot older than the girl. can't blame ya, havn't done 10 years difference yet, maybe when Im his age I'll get some girl who has daddy issues like you lmao

[MsAviator]

Not much daddy. I like how he is mature, professional and respectful.

[Shut_Up_And_Marry_Me]

You look like Lily from Modern Family :)

Can you fly G650s?

[MsAviator]

Yes, any lear-jet type. I am working on my instruments rating and ATPL in hopes on getting hold on the Boeing 747 or Airbus.

So do you think he might feel the same way?

[Shut_Up_And_Marry_Me]

Iiiii I didn't even read that LOL. If I get a jet, you wanna fly it?

[MsAviator]

Please answer my question and yes.

[Shut_Up_And_Marry_Me]

lol ya clearly.

[Shut_Up_And_Marry_Me]

And sweet :)

[Givemeit]

Is that your professor?

[MsAviator]

Yes.

[KhrushBrownies]

It's not fate. It's chances and probability.

[MsAviator]

Why do I keep bumping into him on the way to class though? At exactly every time I go I see him behind me. Chances must be low too. Time to get a lottery ticket. I may get the Boeing 707 I am looking for!

[KhrushBrownies]

1) Lets see. Two of you goes to same class and you two are classmates. Usually you always see the same people in school.
2) people usually has a seat preference, mainly guys always like to seat at the back.
These two factors alone gives a high chance you will bump into him.

The chances of winning a lottery is so much higher than your chances of bumping into your crush on the way to same class. Mainly because the factor in lottery is much greater and that is getting the right combination out of millions of possible combination on numbers.

[MsAviator]

You are talking about permutation. But I mean, he sat in the seat BUT his body was turned SIDEWAYS towards me.

[KhrushBrownies]

Not really permutation.. Body language. It means attraction.

[rjroy3]

It's not fate

[MsAviator]

Um gee, thanks, that was helpful.
