Should I make my feelings clear to my teacher?

Good. Do this.

Tell her “the Giraffe on the Dope told me not to talk with you.” That should shut things down nicely.

I’m kidding. Continue with “Plan leave her alone”.

This is the first time I have seen this tread, but I have to agree with everybody else: Run away Maverock. Run away fast. There is nothing here that will end good for you, nothing good for your career as a student, for your social life, for your love life, for your mental or emotional health. I don’t know you or why you have fixated on this teacher, but you need to run away before bad things happen. Do what you said and leave her alone and don’t look back, because if you don’t you will be most likely end up expelled with restraining orders on your permanent record.

Emiliana and faithfool and those others who do not believe I was serious, I do not know how I can prove that I have greatly appreciated your answers. But I think a small gift would suffice. Please let me contact you through PM. :slight_smile:

Do nothing.

If you get her as a teacher, you’ll have to assess whether you can manage it or not. The fact that you’re still hanging onto this thread might be an indication that you couldn’t.

Don’t contact her, but if you bump into her, definitely say “hi” and tell her how much you appreciated her as a teacher. You be the one to wrap up the conversation and say “Nice seeing you, bye!” rather than waiting for her ti give you the signals. That’s all there is to it. No drama, no issue. If your heart has palpitations as you walk away, well, that’s life; hopefully you’ll get over it.

This might be good general advice, but I’m glad I didn’t take it. I was a best friend to a girl I was head over heels for, at age 18. Our friendship meant a lot to both of us. Purely by coincidence, the next year I lived in the same apartment building as her boyfriend with whom she practically lived, and we all played bridge together and I counted him as a friend. I went to their wedding. I don’t know what happened to them after they went to Fiji for the Peace Corps, but I bet they’ve done just great and I wish them all the good things in life. If they hadn’t had such common names I’d look them up on Facebook, but that would be the extent of it.

In any case, when people give advice on the internet, it’s freely given, and the best thanks is to simply say “thanks”. Offering some kind of reward may be heartfelt and come from a good place, but it raises flags for odd behavior. So, just let that go and chalk it up as a lesson learned.

Knackvurst portraiture. :wink:

A pre-signed restraining order would be a good one.

Is anyone reading this thread a female instructor who would welcome an advance from an adult student or ex-student as described here?

This thread is incredibly weird.

What would Jesus do?

I do, of course, mean the British band Jesus Jones.

Okay, now I just got a creepy PM.

I’m a female instructor, and I’ve already informed the OP that he is creepy and this is inappropriate. He doesn’t seem to care.

Yes, and absolutely not (see my post above).

Wish this had been a poll. Looks about 50:50, eh?

Sorry. Not meant as creepy.

Heh. Just for shits and giggles, I gave him a throw away email to see where this all leads. :smack: I’m betting the only thing I see in return is an uptick in goat porn spam.

I just hope that three or more people didn’t take him up on his offer. After all, the guy only has two ears…

Likewise. And I got a message from him too.

Dammit, I never get creepy PMs! pout

I can fix that. How do you feel about explicit nursing home erotica?
