    Is what it sounds like, nothing to nsfw, but maybe just some coffee? I don't want to assume anything, but I do know these things can lead places...

    You and I know what will happen after that coffee. :smirk:

    By the way, why do you want to get with your teacher? It seems that you feel attracted to her a priori.

    No.

    Keep a professional distance. There is a duty of care, a duty of justice, and fair and equal treatment, and these would be compromised by such a relationship. It would compromise your teacher, threaten their career, and undermine your achievements as a student.

    Most schools have a policy prohibiting a relationship with a student that goes beyond coffee,but it happens. Since it is your teacher who must deal with the consequences of violating the rules it is the teacher who should make the decision.

    Correct. Transfer to another teacher. Then get the coffee.

    Depends on what "get with" means. After my first divorce one of my mature students showed up on the front row with an apple on her desk. Later that day she popped into my office. I asked "Where is my apple?". She said, "I ate it". We were happily married for 33 years.

    I thought -- 'Mate, I don't recall reading that passage of Adam and Eve in the Bible'. :razz:

    We have to never disregard the power of an apple. That's why I had one painted by Dali as a profile pic.

    A charming story but if this were to happen today you might have ended up in trouble with the administration.
    When I was in school this was not at all uncommon. What changed?

    After the courts found in the 1990s that universities could be financially liable for sexual harassment, many institutions — among them, the University of California and Yale — adopted formal policies forbidding sexual or romantic relationships between faculty and students.
