Getmoney Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I’m a 36 year old male personal trainer and I’m in love my client who is just 19. I’ve never openly expressed my emotions to her as I fear messing up our client/coach relationship and friendship. She is from a different cultural and religious background to me and her culture would not encourage a relationship with someone outside her culture. What do I do?

basil67 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Naturally, you remain professional and do nothing. Also, she is not your friend, she is your client Edited April 26 by basil67 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Stop You are not in love with her. You don't even know her & she's half your age. You are infatuated with her. If you want to ask her out, stop being her trainer & make your move. Understand these things rarely work out. Now at 36 & 19 you may be on the same page intellectually & emotionally but as she grows & matures she will outpace you. You are a fully formed adult. She's on a upward trajectory. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Author Getmoney Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 (edited) I’ve been training her for 18 months and we have done things outside of sessions such eating out and getting coffee so we are friends btw. Initially I never saw her that way but since this year I’ve developed feelings. I just can’t risk our professional relationship and friendship.

She's not paying you to hit on her. Date outside of work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MsJayne Posted Friday at 02:46 AM Share Posted Friday at 02:46 AM Young women who go for much older, (and you are much older than her), do it for one or both of two reasons - daddy issues or money, and men who go for much younger women usually do so because a junior is much easier to dominate than a mature woman. Apart from those obvious issues, if I was her parent I would see you as a predator and I'd shred your professional reputation to pieces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
