Not a good idea until you are out of his classes.

Ask interesting questions regarding the course material. Don’t do more than that until the course is over. It could get him fired.

Romantically? Don’t.

Another vote for this not being a good idea.
Do you know him well enough to know if he is single or maybe in a relationship?

@chyna why would I care?

Sunny2's avatar

@lovelessness Worked for me. After the final exam, he asked me out. Talking in class gives him some idea of your personality. E-mail is too private. Keep it out in the open.

If you wouldn’t care, that explains your user name.

As in romantically? Or make him notice you as a student? If romantically, I wouldn’t. Wait until you’re not in his class.

@lovelessness That’s pretty cold. Think about that for a minute.

Why on earth would you want to do that?

Wondering if the modded responses were the OPs since this convo doesn’t seem to be progressing.

They are! Bad with grammar.

Anyway ignoring the messages above…

The reason why I am asking you for your explanation is because I want to know your reasoning behind your moral (or whatever you call it) statement.

Why would I care if someone I am interested is in a relationship or single. Does him being in a relationship means I should stay away, even though I might be a much better fit for him? Why? (Again, Im being sideless and just curious for you to get talking)

Another one is, why stay away from a teacher? Don’t make a statement and get offensive without giving me reasons for it. One of you said, because he can lose his job. That’s good, thank you. Is that all?

So that’s it. If you want to give a respectful, friendly answer go ahead. But if you are going to get offensive, and attack and mock, don’t bother.

And i’m out.

gailcalled's avatar

^^^ I’m right behind you.

@janbb and @gailcalled Wait for me! I’m right behind you. lol

“Why would I care if someone I am interested is in a relationship or single.”

Throughout history, the harlots of society have been shunned and demonized. This is for very good reason. They interfere with the security of the family unit, which, by all measures is the bedrock of any society. Anything that threatens the stability of the family unit is considered dangerous to the entire tribe.

That’s the number one reason why you should care. The number two reason is an intelligence test for you. It’s fun, and will demonstrate how smart or dumb you are. What’s to stop the man you tempt away from being tempted away by another later on? One who entertains such notions is demonstrating the least noble qualities that a man could possibly have. Why would that be attractive to you unless you encourage less than noble qualities in others. And if you do, refer back to reason number one. Society doesn’t thrive when those qualities are promoted. And when society doesn’t thrive by your actions, then it doesn’t need you around at all.

@lovelessness I have a friend whose wife is seriously ill. She has a disease that is expected to slowly kill her. She loves her husband so much and he loves her, but the toll of living with such stress is extreme. There are women who prey on men like this who are hurting so badly inside and looking for a break, and that is what happened to him. He came home with a venereal disease and gave it to his sick wife.

Please don’t be that kind of woman.

lovelessness's avatar

Thank you RealEyes and snowberry!

lovelessness's avatar

For the record, I would never be with a married man. But my reasons are a bit different. One of them is empathy for the wife, other is well why would I be with someone who would cheat? third one and most important one for me is that I don’t like the idea of marriage so I wouldnt want someone who is married anyway. Haha.

But, sharing something doesnt always have to be sexual. I may like someone a lot for who they are… and its ok to want to spend time with them more.

We all jus’ gotta figuur it auot fir airselfs. Kudos to you for asking these tough Q’s @lovelessness. Most don’t bother to ask.

lovelessness's avatar

@realeyes your answer was really great. I was hoping for one like yours, but didn’t have much hope for it. Thank you so much!

College_girl's avatar

You sound like a real homewrecker to me. You are the reason there is no hope for the human race.

Stay away from the guy and get a life.

lovelessness's avatar

@college_girl Thanks! For being so cute.

snowberry's avatar

Or maybe you’re trying to impress her with your brains. In that case, do all your homework, show up on time, study well for tests, do all extra credit, participate in class, and always be polite.

@lovelessness you’re welcome. Good luck destroying lives and families!
