good point.
there are 2 options: in school (mornings and after school in the building) and at home (which means $$$... but more personal... so more of a chance of awkwardness).
i should robably start with at school if i go through with this, right?

i'm not sure. i'm just having conflicting feelings.

Looks like you've already made your mind up so why even ask? You are just worried that your easy to read and that he'll know you like him. He probably already does know. It'll be even more obvious when you ask him to tutor you!

Becuase like i said you would only be torturing yourself and like the others said, you need to be able to focus really well.
It's up to you. I mean, i told you what i thought but it soudns like you made up your mind before you asked the question so i'm not sure what else to tell you.

and no, i'm not the flirty type...but he used to study body language, so that's probably how he knows... (that is, if he actually does know. i could just be paranoid.)

reader, anonymous, writes (10 June 2009): No, but if someone suspects he has a think going on with you because you're being flirty, etc. then he could get in trouble. A lot of trouble in more than one way.
It is best to stay away. It's not going to evolve into anythign so why torture yourself?

why? are teachers not allowed to tutor? even if it took place at the school?

reader, anonymous, writes (10 June 2009): Since nothing will (or at least rightfuly should) evolve from this crush, there is no point in flaunting it in your own face. I think it'd be better on yourself and even your teacher to distance yourself.
You don't want to put him in an awkward situation of having to say "no," or of saying "yes," and putting himself in potential danger of losing his job or family. (depending on his marital status).
