Reposting.. am I overthinking?

At work, one of my students father will always find a way to make conversation even to the point he pulled up to my car ( in the parking lot) just to make a pointless conversation about my daughter being in the front seat lol then some days ago he asked me if I needed help carrying MY children in the school!! never seen parents ask us teachers for help like that.. Not sure is he’s flirting or just being friendly not to mention he’s married!! Fast forward to this week I noticed he stares at me A-LOT (every time he drops his kids off), when he was sitting in his car I saw him staring HARD (I saw him in the corner of my eye) if there’s other teachers in the class he would only talk to me and make direct eye contact and also linger around.. I need a man point of view because this is a lot lol

Why would he be in one of your classes? You can't see to the same level of detail in your peripheral vision as you can straight ahead, so I think you are projecting on that one. So what if he is flirting with you? That doesn't mean you have to entertain it, it means you are perfectly able to shut it down too.

Having an affair would destroy his wife's life and sanity. Ignore him. Act like he doesn't exist, until it's completely necessary to talk to him. Be nice to the daughter though. She's innocent.

Kids* not daughter. His kids are innocent.

Trust me I would never ruin someone’s marriage! but this is an everyday thing and wanted a men’s point of view

Good to hear. But it also shouldn't matter what he thinks. If you even suspect he has interest in you, all you have to do is avoid him. I avoid girls all the time if I think they have any interest in me. It's healthy for my marriage.

I would take it as being friendly and if I didn’t take it as being friendly I would ‘confront’ the individual asking them were you staring earlier? And see what their response is then let it go (if said no/denied), if they did stare I’d ask why (if it wasn’t anything weird then let it go), I would ask them to leave me be and that I’m not interested in that and to respect my boundaries that would be all.

He's crushing on you hard.

That wouldn’t be good considering he is married lol

No, but it happens all the time.
