Weakness

[coffeesnob318]

My official statement of the day - I would like a boyfriend now, please.

There's this boy. And he's around my age. And he's smart and funny and sweet...and he's got these eyes. These bedroom eyes. And sometimes his clothes look like they'd fall right off if you touched them. And don't get me started on the lips...

And he is in one of the classes I am/was teaching (technically, my last day in the class was today - am I still his teacher?). *slams head into wall*

Why can't I like someone that I meet outside of work? Or at least, someone inside of work who is not a student (scratch that, actually. I think I am the youngest single person at work...with a 10-year radius between me and the next one).

It's just not right. He flirts; I can't flirt back. I am lecturing to the class, but avoiding eye contact with him, because eye contact inevitably reminds me how much I like looking at him. And does he have the decency to avoid eye contact with me? NO! Stares...constantly...much more than is necessary. Unnerving. And surely he knows that if the move is to be made, he has to make it, right? Sure, he risks the embarrassment of potential rejection, but I risk my new (and favorite) job.

And I have all this access to his personal information (email...phone number...home address...) that I know I'm not allowed to use for the purpose I want to use it.

Dammit! I thought I left this crap behind in Jr. High!
What the hell is wrong with me?

Getting set up by well-meaning friends is, officially, no longer unappealing to me.

Grrr....

I could bump into him. I'm not sure I'm at the "make the hour-long trek into Dallas for the express purpose of doing so" point, though.

Not yet, anyway. Things may change by next week.

I can see the hour long communte being a bit of a pain in the arse .... however a one little trip to do a little accidentle bumbing ....(Coffee.. COFFEE... okay, lost you for a moment there...) verses the well meaning friend and the *cough* nice guy they want you to meet that is *cough* so your style.....

If you get the inclination to make the trip, maybe mext time the two of you can meet half way for a little one on one getting to know you better session .... (Coffee.....COFFEEE.... mouse waves hand in front face...... Oh heck, I give up!! Places napking under coffee to catch drool)*grin*

I hope that whatever you decide works out for you. Good Luck !! Mousie

Oh, my. I did not just type that.

I'm pathetic.

First .. You are not pathetic .. if either one of us are patheitc, that would be meDEFIANLTY not you. You have to be one of the coolest people I know.

Second ... I bet he is thinking of you and wishing he would run into you so he could hook up with you outside of class..... (STAY WITH ME GIRL)

Third and Final ... You are a trip ... LOL...

PS - as a teacher from a student ... forgive my multiple spelling errors .... working on CHemsitry and my brain can't focus on anything else....

Well! It's sad that I'm not going to be in your area; I have a veritable knack in the field of bringing people together. (It's also sad that what I can do for others, I can never seem to do for myself, but that's aother story and we are not, of course, talking about me here, are we?) First point: yep; it at least two very specific cases, I know where this student-teacher relation became something more involved, and with very good results. While on the other hand, I can't think of one I know of that went sour. I'm just one person, after all, but that's my IMO. In both of the instances I mentioned, they waited until after the formal class was done before getting involved. One engagement; one marriage. Even if you're not interested in something quite that serious, a casual relationship is perfectly possible! Go!!! Find some excuse to go back to the school/visit his next class/call or bump into him. WHATEVER IT TAKES. If you can't stand not knowing... go and find out. (You're a teacher; I thought you knew this. :D) What's the worst he can say but "no"?

Whoa. I feel all inspired. *takes a deep breath* OK...here goes....

I'm going....

promise....

OK...so regarding weakness and meeting people at work:

You did know that my ex-husband was MY BOSS for like a year and a half, right? And yes the company had A POLICY regarding such stuff. It all started rather innocent. A whole gang of us would go out after work like seven or eight of us who were friends...and somehow one night all the rest had class or something and didn't show...so it was just Greg and me, playing pool and eating burgers, totally innocent as friends ya know. Three days later I overheard a rumor that he had broke up with his girlfriend and was interested in someone else~~ all the while, I'm thinking "Who Me?"

So it was rocky to start...but well we did start dating and we were the BIG OFFICE SEEKRIT for about six months...then one night we ran into HIS BOSS at one of the bars and were sure it was gonna be a big problem...but they talked the next day and she (his boss) said we had done a great job of "keeping it out of the office" so she didn't care.

We moved in together the following month and were married about a year later after he was transfered to Phoenix. So you know, it can be done...when you spend all your time around these people it's stoopid to not expect regular attractions to happen. Now that he's not your student any more...I say go for it...be discreet and see where it leads...

Now I think I'm in the "see if the affection fades" stage. I'm pretty fickle. I don't want to start something if I'm just going to get bored with it.

Then again, he's not at all boring. :)
