PinnieApples Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Hi, first let me tell you a bit about myself. I am almost 20 yrs old, attend a small college, and am a bit eccentric. Enough about that! I have a 57 yr old professor who I find extremely attractive, both intellectually and physically. I have always been attracted to teachers; however, the stakes have changed. While I am not stupid, and never act, let alone flirt with a professor I feel awkward around him. I go to his class and do not dress "sexy" nor do I flirt. I sadly, have him as a professor and advisor. His actions confuse me and I was wondering if you all may be of help. Somedays in class, well most, I receive little to no eye contact. This is strange since he engages his students in intense conversations durning class = eye contact. When I am around he cannot talk, but stutter, or he has a very deep voice - not mean or anything to that degree. I have to spend time with this man, 2 classes with him next semester, one that is one on one. I don't want this horrid feeling, all I want to know is that I am hopefully reading him wrong and go about my life.
audrey_1 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 My Shakespeare professor in college was oozing with sensuality and intellect, and his frameless glasses were incredibly hot. I perceived him to be nervous around me, but really, he was socially awkward with everyone in different ways. None of the students could really meet him on his level, and he tried to connect with us in his fabulously odd way. This man is your professor, and I wouldn't read anything in to it at all. Mine was a great source of joy for me in the class I had with him, and when my name was called at graduation, and I walked across the stage to get my diploma, I saw him beaming with pride. The faculty were sitting at the end of the stage where graduates received diplomas. He was beaming with pride like my dad was...just have fun with it, but don't read too much into it.

Well, I guess what I dislike, is he isn't socially awkward, at all!
audrey_1 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 You think that his not having eye contact with you, and his maintaining it with others means he's in to you? I want to understand. He may find you attractive. I'm sure there have been many professors who were attracted to their students. I dropped a class once where I felt my professor crossed the line. She was a lesbian, and I am not, and she was a little too forward with me. I didn't think it appropriate so high-tailed it out of there.
Author PinnieApples Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 See, I think it is just odd, to not have eye contact just with me. Sadly, he is the only professor who teaches this particular field, so I have to stay with him
