joestrummer Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Hi, everybody. I was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of advice on my present situation. It's somewhat complicated so thanks to anyone who takes the time to read through all of this and give their opinions, etc. I am a 24 year old Englishman presently living and working in Tokyo as an English instructor. In one of my advanced classes last year was a student who we'll call Sarah. Anyway, she stood out a fair bit due to being, well... stunning. At the end of the school year (March over here) we went out as a class for dinner and drinks, and the pair of us ended up sat together and due to the amount we'd drank we were being pretty flirty with one another and having quite a good chat. She told me she's 34 and got divorced January this year. We were getting on very well but I decided not to try to make anything of it as I was still her teacher, she was ten years older than me, etc. Regardless, towards the end of the evening we all exchanged numbers so we could get together for a class reunion again soon. Fast forward a few weeks and I bump into her in town shopping. I was looking for shoes and she offered to show me some good places. We had a really good time, generally messing around and then went for dinner as we were both fairly hungry. I decided to ask what she did and it turns out she is something of a celebrity over here. She's released CDs, been on various shows and so forth. I won't explain who/why/what but still, very impressive. Over the next couple of months we saw each other occassionally at birthday parties for other members of the old class and it was always the same - very good conversation, lots of laughter, a fair bit of flirting. The last time I saw her was Tuesday last week and, taking the advice of a friend, I decided to ask her out, she agreed and now I have a dinner date this Saturday. I suppose my question is, does anybody have any experience dating older, famous, former students!? It's a pretty strange situation but I like her a great deal and she seems to feel similarly. Any general advice you could throw in my direction? Cheers.
