PinnieApples Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi, first let me tell you a bit about myself. I am almost 20 yrs old, attend a small college, and am a bit eccentric. Enough about that! I have a 57 yr old professor who I find extremely attractive, both intellectually and physically. I have always been attracted to teachers; however, the stakes have changed. While I am not stupid, and never act, let alone flirt with a professor I feel awkward around him. I go to his class and do not dress "sexy" nor do I flirt. I sadly, have him as a professor and advisor. His actions confuse me and I was wondering if you all may be of help. Somedays in class, well most, I receive little to no eye contact. This is strange since he engages his students in intense conversations durning class = eye contact. When I am around he cannot talk, but stutter, or he has a very deep voice - not mean or anything to that degree. I have to spend time with this man, 2 classes with him next semester, one that is one on one. I don't want this horrid feeling, all I want to know is that I am hopefully reading him wrong and go about my life. Link to post Share on other sites
haley121 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Maybe you're reading too much into this and maybe you're not. YOU'RE the one who can read the signs best right now though, so go with your gut! If the one-on-one thing makes you uncomfortable, drop it and find something else. Make an excuse that you found a really interesting class to take instead. Considering the stuttering, I'm guessing he's not going to be bold enough to make a move, even if he wants to. Also, I'm not sure how things are at your college, but at the college I go to, students and profs generally only meet in public places or in offices with the door open. But hey, if you're uncomfortable, maybe there's a reason you're uncomfortable, and if you're going to be so uncomfortable that you can't focus on what you're learning, then you shouldn't be doing it anyway.

Author PinnieApples Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 While it would be great to drop the 'one on one' class, I can't since it is my major. I go to an extremely small college - which could actually be good, but students and professors have close relationships. Classes sometimes are taken at a professors house. Anyways, thank you for the insight Haley! Link to post Share on other sites
