Should I try to date my child's teacher?

Question - (15 July 2013) 4 Answers - (Newest, 17 July 2013)
A age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I had been working towards pursuing one of the teachers that i had got to know in my childs school throughout the year and finally got round to increasing the flirting to encourage an opportunity to get to know him more over the summer holidays, i really like this guy but know i am gutted as he is now going to be my childs teacher for the next coming year. This changes the dynamics dramatically as his relationship will be primarily as my childs teacher. I am aware of the conflict of interest if i was to pursue him I realise the extra work such as not mixing buiness with pleasure which I could deal with that, but feel that it would be too much to expect of him. Either way, i feel he is a catch and the reason that I am gutted is because, i would love to get to know him now and what is the likely chance that he would still be available in a years time, i would like to think that him becoming my childs teacher may bring us closer and prehaps lead to a realtionship a year later or am i hoping for too much? Does anyone have any ideas how i can make this situation work in my favour?

Thank you for your comments. I am not the type of person to parade my private business freely and have never introduced my child to any partners unless it became serious, though note the effect it would have on my child. The procedures within the school are relaxed, unless its teacher pupil relations. My child is in his final year at school, I guess its unfortunate that to meet such a great person at the wrong time and in the wrong place. As much as i dont like to agree with your answers I believe that they are very valid points. I guess if its meant to be it may happen at an appropriate time.

I have one question, have you thought about how this may affect your child which of course is important. As gutted as you are I can only think this is a really bad idea.
