She’s About To Graduate High School And Her English Teacher Asked Her Out On A Date
An 18-year-old girl is currently in her senior year of high school, but she’s graduating this upcoming June, so in a little more than a month she will be leaving.
Her high school is a boarding school, and she only gets to go home in a few weeks. Aside from that, she lives on campus all the time.
Her mom and dad do not live in the country where her boarding school is, so every holiday or vacation day she’s still spent basically at school, alone.
There is a hotel located right by her campus, and that’s where she’s been live while all of her classmates went home to their families for the holidays.
She then started frequently spending that alone time with her 28-year-old English teacher from school.
“My teacher lives alone and he isn’t married so he would sometimes pick me up and we’d go watch a movie or just go around for a drive,” she explained.
“He would even sneak his dog into the hotel and we would just have a lot of fun ordering food and him helping my homework.”
“He’s not conventionally handsome, but he’s not bad looking and I think I’ve grown really fond of him. He kinda looks like Edward Norton.”
Well, pretty recently her teacher asked her to go out on a date with him as soon as she graduates. She did agree to go out with him, but now she’s kind of questioning all of this.

Although she admits her life sounds pretty “sad,” it’s really not so terrible, and her teacher is the highlight of her life on campus.
“I’m looking forward to the date, but on the other hand, I feel like I’m so lonely I’d go out with anyone,” she said.
“I don’t know if what I’m feeling is genuine or just attention-craving because my parents never come to see me.”
She is also feeling that she looks at her teacher kind of like a father figure, so it’s confusing to her. A lot of the teachers at her school are aware that she agreed to go on a date with her English teacher, and a lot of her classmates know too, but nobody has a problem with it.
“He’s a very “old” bachelor in our community so everyone is pretty glad he’s found someone (he’s never dated before),” she added.
“Everyone is telling me that Princess Diana and Prince Charles had a big age gap when they got married, and they started courting at 16 and 28 so it’s traditional and not bad.”
Do you think she should keep her date with her teacher, or cancel it?
