daterhater Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 This semester my a friend of a friend is teaching my photography class. Well, he's hilarious and I'm in love. When I ask him for help, he blushes. It's so cute. Today in critique, he kept forgetting people's names, but he remembered mine. Okay, so I'm getting ahead of myself. It's not like I want to go do him in the dark room (I do, but I wouldn't. Against the rules), but I wish I had a chance to talk to him about things that weren't school related. I'm so scared of getting him in trouble, that after class, I rush off. I will only talk to him about photography stuff... and of course I blush too. My friend told me to tell my teacher "hi" for him, but I'm afraid to do it. Cause then it'll be like I'm trying to have an unfair advantage over other classmates by bringing up the fact that I'm friends with his friend. After the semester over, I will still be a student at my university, but I will have no more classes with him. Is it against the school policy to ask him out then? P.S. I'm 22 and he's only 2-3 years older than me. it's not like i'm some 13 year old with a crush on my 40 year old teacher. Link to post Share on other sites
Devildog Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Definetly wait until the end of the semester to start anything more personal. (unless your grade in the class could use some improvement ) You don't really know how he feels about you. He might be blushing because he thinks it's cute or sweet that you seem to be interested in him. But he might not see you in the potential relationship way. I would assume that as a teacher, he would know what the rules are for dating students at your school. So after the semester ends, test the waters. If he tells you it is against school policy for teachers to date students, end of story. Link to post Share on other sites
sami Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 In addition to the usual big "NO" to any off-the-line type of any teacher-student relation, schools have their own rules based on their different past experiences and history. However, teacher-student relation strictly applies to students who are enrolled at the time with their respective teachers and coaches. That of course includes any type of academic, sports or college related activity that either party may take advantage of and use it to his or her own personal gain at the cost of the public cause even if nothing like that happens at all. Some students may have romantic relations with some teachers without getting anything other than the thrill of it. No other benefit of any kind outside the relationship. Students who are using the relationship for something else usually get frustrated, feel used and out of frustration they break out the bad news. Because of such incidents, schools are becoming more and more strict about the whole thing. They end up throwing their babies with the bath-water. No headaches. No such relations. Period.
