Alright, folks. Here's the thing: I'm a 29 year old teacher. I recently ran into a former student. We talked about new occurences in our lives. Afterwards, I realized I had feelings for her. She's 19, just SMOKING hot, and she's tremendously funny. Would it be taboo to date her?

She is probably too immature for you and not ready for a serious relationship.

 

What are looking for in her? Sex? A temporary good time, or something lengthy?

 

It all depends on yourself. It might be taboo to date her, but then again, it may not be.

 

The dependancy basically relies on your wants and needs.

ooh, this is a bit tricky.

 

i think a lot of it depends on a few things:-

 

1. what you are looking for with her - a sexual relationship, or an emotional relationship. were these more feelings of lust for her?

 

2. will it affect your job? i know she's a former student, but she's pretty fresh out of high school;

 

3. any laws governing age of consent (i don't know where you are from, but they are different in many places);

 

4. the age difference, which you will probably notice if you got to know her on a deeper level.

 

5. people will 'talk' if you end up together. there are always people who think it is gossip and/or taboo to date someone 10 years younger who you used to teach and who is fresh out of high school.

 

6. does she have a boyfriend?

 

like i said, pursuing anything would depend on various factors. i guess it's up to you to weigh them up and see what the most likely outcome would be.

No problem at all. She's of age, you're of age. Both of you are of sound mind, I assume. She is well educated, at least she has ONE great teacher. You are well educated, you are a great teacher.

 

You are probably attracted to the young chirpies and she is probably going through a phase where she likes older men. She probably had visions of going to bed with you when you were her teacher.

 

I know I has some pretty sexy thoughts about Ms. Prendes, my English teacher in the 11th grade. She was just out of college and I was just out of my mind. We would have made a great couple...except she was married and I'm sure her husband would have objected.

 

Yeppers, it'll be great for a while. Go for it.
