He's no longer my professor, so should I pursue a relationship with him?

A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Okay, I'm a student in college, and this semester I got to know a professor who offered to help me with another professor's class, because I was having difficulty understanding the material on my own. Over the course of the semester, I went to this professor's office 2-3 times a week, with questions about homework, etc. Slowly we got to know eachother and started talking about our personal lives and things outside of the questions that I had about the class. He's single, by the way. Well, this small talk turned into me going to him for help with the class, and then staying an extra hour and half just talking with him about anything. We continued this through out the semester. I also had him for another class this semester, and I would always catch him staring at me, or standing behind me looking at me from a distance. We also email back and forth frequently, sometimes about class, sometimes not. He eventually invited me to a dinner (with many other people there) and we had a great time. Now that this semester is over, and he is no longer my teacher, would it be okay for me to pursue something with him? Based on what I've just written, does it sound like he could also be interested?

champilyn agony aunti think so.... YES!!!!! he seems to like you. and you like him too. it doesn't matter what other people think, because, we're all just dots in this world. we only have one life, and in this life has a very short time span, and rarely would our hearts fall in love. if you pursue this relationship, perhaps you might regret it in the future... but the most regretful things in our lives are not the things we've done wrong, but actually, the lingering question of "what if?"

so if you're sure of what you feel, then "why not?" :)

he is obviously interested in you. If you are over 18 then you can consider having a relationship with him after you have consulted your "code of conduct" manual. You need to be sure this is not forbidden because you could get him fired for misconduct

Hey, in response to the first answer: he's only mentioned past girlfriends, and I know that he isn't dating anyone now, or he wouldn't have invited me and picked me up to go to the holiday dinner that we went to. And I know that he lives alone....does it seem like I'm reading into this too much? Most of my friends have said that its kind of weird that I went to a holiday dinner with him when he didn't invite any other students.
