A female reader, anonymous, writes (11 October 2011):

I think he is flirting with you. At your age - 19 - and his age, he must know that you are old enough to understand that he is flirting, not just being friendly. If he doesn't do this to anyone else then I'd be even more sure of it. It does seem however that he is keeping just within boundaries ie. nothing really sleazy going on.

But, this doesn't necessarily mean that he wants anything more from you...some guys just like flirting with younger women because it gives them - and sometimes the girl in question - a bit of a boost to get them through the day, that's all.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (11 October 2011):

You're an adult and he might well be treating you like an adult rather than like a child and expressing some attraction towards you, quite possibly with no intent for anything further. That's pretty common in grownup workplaces. And even there it can become uncomfortable and stalkerish when done by some people.

If you don't like the attention then do the adult thing and say so. You needn't be serious. A simple "Yeah, Dad meet my stalker teacher" in a mocking tone would be a suitable rejoiner to his comments about the parents evening. Or "another fine example of the professional behaviour one expects from teachers at this school". You get the idea.

If he doesn't get the idea after a few of those then be forthright (be considerate too, because he may not be aware of his behaviour). "When you single me out for attention you make me feel like I am being chatted up, which is both uncomfortable because you are much older and inappropriate because you are my teacher. Please stay a bit further within the student-teacher boundaries so I can enjoy my time at school."

aunt honesty agony auntTo be honest there is nothing from your post that makes me think that he likes you as anything more than a student. He may like you as a student and has a joke and a laugh with you but that is about all it is. I think you are looking at little things and making them out to be more than they actually are.
