*sigh* I'm just a girl with a crush on the teacher.
My drawing teacher is adorable. And I think it has become quite obvious that we spend the entire class flirting with each other. Yes, we're fun people in general and we make jokes and make the class fun for all. But c'mon folks, we spend the WHOLE class making jokes, and while he does offer me constructive criticism on my drawings, he also picks on me a bit, and I pick on myself, and pick on him for picking on me (ALL forms of flirting). If I were someone else in the class, I'd be thinking, jeez guys, just go on a date already.
So.... about that. What's the protocol here? Is he bound to not make a move as long as he's my teacher? Is that frowned upon? Would it be better form if I made the move? Consider also, that I am hopelessly petrified of making any moves at all (best I can do is flirt--that should tell him he has the green light, IMO). Also consider that he is younger than I am (not sure if that matters, but it may change how you imagine the scenario). Also consider that he is moving to California later this year for school (why is it always California?). So, what can I do?
Also consider--whenever he steps in to make an adjustment on my drawing, I find myself leaning in closer and closer..... I just want to cuddle him. At times I actually have to tell myself to stop it. Normally I can behave in a civilized way without too much thought, but this sometimes takes effort.
Trying to stay positive,

When is the last class? This better progress!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have 3 more classes. This is where I always f- it up, though. I can flirt all day long, but never know what to do next!
DeleteWell I see you are FB friends... If I were you I either leave my number with him on the last day, or just start talking more over facebook..
ReplyDeleteWe are FB friends, and have actually chatted a few times on some of my drawing photos on FB (witness the flirtations in written form, you can). So we can certainly still be in contact. I could give him a hug on the last day--that's within my style. :)
DeleteI think you should continue on FB. Maybe once class is over and he realizes he won't see you regularly, he'll ask to meet up! I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my # with a guy, but that's just me.
DeleteI would not rely on the guy. You will no longer be his student. Suggest meeting up. Say something like with class being over you won't get to joke around or something. Then see what he says. It gives the lead in without making the plans.
