Elisa94 Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Well, some months ago I posted something about the fact that I liked a professor of mine... Now he's not my professor anymore... And last time he invited me to have lunch (but at university) and he paid and we talked about academic topics. I wasn't courageous enough to ask about his personal life, etc. That time was supposedly the last time we'd officially see each other (I'm changing university) so I thanked him for everything and we cheek kissed each other (it's been a while since he does this now) and said "we'll be in contact. Please don't disappear without leaving track of yourself!" And I just laughed and went... He laughed back, but perhaps he interpreted that as if I weren't interested in keeping in touch with him... Also, like in three different times he mentioned he'd like to visit my hometow, but till someone told me he expected me to say something like "oh, if you want I can take you somewhere and recommend you places, etc" I understood... Anyways, we lunched on Friday two weeks ago. I realised that on Saturday. I sent him a mail inviting him to come on Monday of last week. I didn't address to him as PhD [his surname] but instead I wrote "hello [first name]:" He replied on Tuesday this way: "Hi Elisa: You're right. I've been incredibly busy the last week. Though, step by step my holidays arrive, so I'll have a breath finally till Thursday. Thank youfor your gentle invitation. I'd love to taste a good coffee with the rain as background. I'll tell you if I dare to do so and when, so we can keep our conversation. For now I send you a hug. [His first name]" He's been free since Thursday, though he hasn't replied. I know he needs some rest too, before even coming, because he has to drive like 2.5 h in total when coming and returning. So, what do you think? Is he being just friendly, gentle, nice, kind? Could he like me back? Do you think he'll "dare" to come? Thank you all for your replies. I just feel somewhat anxious!
d0nnivain Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Are you at a different university now? If so, chase to your heart's content. If not, stay away. 1
Author Elisa94 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Posted June 6, 2017 Yes! So you mean he'll probably come? We're both very ethical , so he didn't persue anything till now that I changed uni... So my questions were if he perhaps will come... Anyways, thanks for replying!
d0nnivain Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I have no idea what he'll do. Based on what you posted I don't know if he likes you romantically or is simply being friendly. Since he didn't jump at the chance for a "date" I suspect you are simply a former student. All I'm saying for sure is that his job is no longer an impediment to your relationship. 1
