The first professor - he initiated it, said we should have lunch sometime, so we'd go out after class, then it was more often and since it was a summer class and he lived at a beachhouse, he'd invite me to go swimming and it went from there...It was weird because sometimes his wife, a physician, would be at home and I would feel uncomfortable in my bikini in front of her, yet she was so ok with it all.
But even though he asked me out, I have to admit I was flirty so it wasn't out of the blue. He sensed I was interested in him. I didn't sit back and hope that he could read my mind. So in other words, his "initation" was a response to my showing of interest in him.
The second professor, we'd spend a lot of time together during office hours and it felt natural to go out to lunch, then it went to dinners and so on. Even though he asked me out, he like the other prof. was responding to my showing an obvious interest in him - flirting, body language, etc.
If you don't take a chance, he may never ask you out or know how you feel. Even if he turns you down, at least you will know and not dwell over it.
It was my 2nd prof's b-day a couple of weeks ago, even though we haven't been dating in years, we still went to "our" restaurant.
