About James Expertise I can answer most questions on dating from male or female perspective, straight or gay as i believe every person goes through the same problems in life but on different scales.
Experience I've always given people advice, its something i'm good at, i'm gay and have been with my boyfriend for 3 years,i don't think our relationships perfect but its healthy. I give my female friends advice and they say i'm good because i'm honest, its not always the thing they want to hear but in the end it makes for happiness. My relationship started out long distance and we now live together, so i can give personal advice on a lot of issues which i have dealt with. I'm a nice, polite guy and i'm applying as i really want to help people with personal issues.
Education/Credentials well i attended and passed secondary school (high school) but apart from that its just the school of life, i feel i naturally understand and relate to people, something no education could get you.
Question Hello how are you
well, lately I have been having reoccurring feelings about my ex teacher. I was his teachers assistant and student. Before I had his class many students were going on about how cute he was and I was curious, but I didn't really find him so attractive and thought having a crush on a teacher is very nasty and gross. I am 17 and he is 26, but he pretends he is still a kid. His personality is great and sometimes I'm nervous around him and he treated me differently from the other students, more maturely and everything. Still it's weird for me to say I have feelings for him. Before going on summer break he told my friend and I he wasn't coming back to teach next year. He gave us his number though to keep in touch and a nice hug to say goodbye. He also said he might come and visit me at my job to make my day rough. I don't know what I should do. I know he likes younger girls because one day my friend and I accidentally interrupted his girlfriend and his lunch, she looked like she was barely 18 I don't know if they are still dating, but he seemed nervous when he saw my friend and I enter the room. Should I call him, do you think he just being friendly and don't want to forget about us. I don't even know my truly feelings myself. If you look at the facts a real relationship will never work, so I don't know, would it be okay to pursue him as a friend? Do you think it would be wise to ask him to hang out someday."
Answer Hi ya Natasha,
I think there is no problem in pursuing him as a friend, if you enjoy his company and would love to hang out with him then tell him this, but a stigma would be attached with a relationship so i understand your issue, don't let the age difference or teacher-student relationship stop you from forming a friendship, making new friends needs to start somewhere so if you want to, yes, feel free to call him and ask to hang out, apart from that I'm not too sure what else i can add which you haven't already thought about, my best wishes are with you, i really hope you make the decision right for you, write to me and tell me how it goes and if you become friends.
