Never ever a good idea to date someone attending an institution that you teach for!  Bad move than can cost you your job and your career.  You have to ask yourself...is it worth it?\n\nMany educational institutions have very strict policies about fraternization with students.  You better check the policies.

I had a couple of teachers whose memory kept me awake nights also.  Had a hard time breathing normally in one or two classes in addition.  But the thing is that I knew it was wrong to try to approach a teacher, so I didn't.  It's wrong firstly because of the age difference and the differences in experience and knowledge.  Secondly, it's wrong legally.  The teacher, if she were to be interested in you, would be risking serious jail time should she allow herself to get involved with you. Lastly, it's against all professional ethics for a teacher, no matter how close he/she may be in age to the student, to become involved with him/her. The teacher not only would risk going to jail, but would also risk losing his or her teacher's license which took four years of hard study and scrutiny by professional educators to acquire.\n\nThe answer is you probably won't be able to stop thinking about her for a long time, but it doesn't mean that you have to act on your desire.  What it means is that you should replace your interest in her with an interest in another female of your own age, or more your own age, and experience.\n\nThink first, act cautiously and morally.\n\nGood luck.

oh.... I do not see why you would have any problem meeting a wonderful girl!!  you have traveled and most likely learned much about life and people, you are not afraid to work hard, your are going to college  I presume to further your career,you are independent and  have your own transportation... you are on the right track n life ... the only obstacle  I could see is the part time job, which may discourage some women, but not all... Some women will see that you are  going to school and understand how difficult that is with a full time job , and  see that you are a good guy, doing your best, and will have faith in you and your future together...and stand by your side.as long as you have a good personality are an honest, loving, warm,intelligent guy with a sense of humor, you will attract  someone special... so a relationship yes... but not marriage yet, not until your out of school , have a full time job, and you are both ready for that step... my best wishes to you !

16 dating a 20 yr old is a lot different than 13 dating a 17 yr old.  The maturity gap is huge, and yes it is illegal since you're a minor, and when he's 18 he can go to jail, I'm not sure about now.  You should find out what your laws are for where you live regarding minors.\n\nIn the meantime, you should just be friends with him but don't date him, and by all means don't do anything physical with him.  Wait until you're at least 17 or 18 before making any real decisions, you might think you're mature but you still have many years to go and you'll change your mind on a lot of things as you get older.

I think that this would depend on not how old or young someone is but how old they act. You could be a man dating a younger woman and the man could just be a young at heart fun loving adventurous person, like the younger girl.  It also really depends if you are both at the same maturity level.

yes i agree with past answers that it depends on age. personally i think since you guys are so young, there shouldnt be a difference of more than 2-3 years. I mean junior high and high school are really different enviornments for you both. It'll be hard for you guys to relate on alot of things. So think hard about it before taking a step. goodluck :)

age is no bar in case of love. but do consider the fact that there is a gap in maturity level. tomorrow the girl gets matured enough and consider everything a mistake you will regret too. take a decision keeping both of yours future

As long as she is of legal age I don't see an issue with asking AFTER she graduates.\n\nThough I've found that these types of relationships rarely work, because the female attraction is almost always either fake or based on a false perception of authority that quickly fades.\n\nIt's also often the case that once a girl experiences the freedom that comes along with college she's must less likely to tie herself to one guy. Much less an older guy who is tutoring at a high school while she is off making a life for herself.\n\nI have nothing against relationships with an age difference. I think though that this type of relationship is often unfair to the younger person.\n\nIs it really fair to be with someone who is going to have to watch you die while they should be enjoying their retirement? Is it really fair they are going to be working wihle you are retired? Whith age differences of 5 years or more these problems tend to pop up.\n\nIn this case though, what about when she goes away to college and you are working?\n\nThink about it this way... if you really care about her, do you really want to put her through that?\n\nMaybe the best thing to do would be to let her have a normal college experience, and find yourself someone your age. Odds are it wouldn't last anyway... and there are plenty of fish in the sea.

Age differences like this can work out, but there will be MANY difficulties and you both will have to be willing to face them together, if you two are both truly in it together, then you can conquer anything.\n\n(P.s. he's single now right? as long he's not married then go for it, you only have one life to lead. Don't do/not do anything that you will regret)\nGood Luck and Take Care

I think it depends on what age you two are to begin with. If you're in HS MAYBE dating an older guy would be better cuz then they're at the same mental maturity as u....(girls develop faster of course) but if ur in college or above then yeah, i think it definitly has a chance! Especially if ur willing to be outgoing, and understanding, and excepting of his personality. Remember the saying, "Dont judge a book by its cover." Well maybe that has to do with it. And also remember, the power of love will prevail. If ur worried about his age SO much, maybe he's not right for you.....

Ok, this is a sticky one.  Can you put your 'crush buzz' to the side and see the reality of 'what if it can work' set in? It will be national news, everything will blow up.  Can you honestly see her having feelings for you as well? Do you think moving in closer to her would work out for the both of you's or just you? remember she is married for a reason. Here's the good news, you have found someone that has shown you your 'ideal' partner.  What might have got you to have a crush on her is as a teacher it is their job to pay attention and help students reach there goals.  I know your not going to get that with a lot of girls at high school, hey they are young and still learning themselves, maybe you are more mature minded and that's great you have discovered your ideal partner which is a mature, funny, witty and with a great personality.  But as a teacher, not a good thing to do.  Just look at her and thank her in your mind for showing you an ideal partner =)

its normal,i would think its best to date some one who is at least 7years older than you if your thinking about a serious relationship,you wouldn't expect the sort of control and authority from some one your age which you would find from some one older.therefore your its absolutely normal and your on the right track
