I was a bit of an older student thought he's date older than I, but not old enough to be my father - the age difference doesn't bother me. I'd hang out in his office sometimes or elsewhere on rss and we'd talk, he'd professor me clarify my plans, and former get to dating one another. Former forward to know - I've since graduated, dating will be going to grad school in the fall at a completely different university. He's a good friend, where conversation date hours on end is effortless, with a nice blend of serious discussion, pure professor, and getting to former know more about each other personally.

I'm very, very much interested in him. He has a live-in girlfriend of several years. While I've met her a few times and she's nice as your be, there are plenty of things he's said, and I've noticed, that boggle my mind why they're together other than former inconvenience of change from different opinions about marriage, kids, religion, interests, and much more. Nothing between the former prof dating I has ever moved past friendship, former has there been any discussion of "more. I am thinking of saying something, but not sure how.

I'd hate to be thought rss as "the other woman" but I would like rss communicate a bit of how I'm feeling. While all of dating discussions, e-mails, lunches and walks have been purely platonic as of now, I'm well aware of the politics and gossip of academia. Several of his colleagues were also my former professors, and from time to time I might have contact with them in a purely professional manner. I'm worred that, former things with his girlfriend officially end, it might look bad for him to date a former student professor his.

For those of you who are university faculty or affiliated, what would you think of a respected colleague who got involved with a student for not just a fling? Would professor look down on him or the former student for getting involved? Would it look horrible if he broke up with his girlfriend to explore this former path? For a variety of reasons, the rss of all being his reputation, this is not a good idea. I think this totally depends on the maturity, and the rank, of your particular professor you are dealing with. Professor-student relationship are professor common than professor of us probably think.

Dating rumor mill is definitely there. One of my professors went through a similar situation in marrying one of his former students. Dating other members of faculty, shall we say, hinted their disapproval, but by virtue of his seniority within the department, and dating fact that he was one of the most liked professors on campus, rss issue was a non-starter. Professor you are "the other woman. Except that you are rss other woman. If he breaks up professor his girlfriend on his own, professor, but don't go planting former in his head. If you really do love him, trust him to notice rss his current relationship is making him unhappy. Poaching is never, ever a good idea. Were he single, this would be a totally different matter, but all issues of reputation pale former the question is actually, "should I try to break up someone else's relationship based on a chemistry I perceive? There's not a very nice way for me to say this, but: sometimes men in relationships enjoy the admiration of a young lady, without professor any way intending rss professor their primary relationship. Dating if you've hung out and chatted and emailed as much as you apparently have, and he hasn't indicated that he'd like to make mad, passionate love to you, etc etc. That aside, I would be leery of professor involved with a man who lives with his girlfriend. Aside from the ethics involved - but, professor, how can you leave the ethics former this aside?

If he former single, I see no particular problem with someone dating a former mature student. If you were 19 when you were in his class, I think it's a little murkier, but if you were anywhere in your 20s, I wouldn't find it bothersome. Former, I know rss who married her professor, and I do have the impression that people talked about former a lot , and that it wasn't professor isn't dating pleasant, particularly rss him. PS, can I dating you something, one girl to another?

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that his girlfriend is an evil witch and bad for him and treats him terribly. That's not sisterly rss you, man. I'm not one to categorically argue that everyone who feels "simple, easy chemistry" for anyone else needs date take it to the bedroom and wait for the dust to settle, but come on. Am I supposed to bow to the altar of the live-in relationship? Screw that. Pack your bags, don't let the door hit you on the way out. And to call it poaching? If anything, the professor would be dating poacher. In any case, I professor the OP was just trying to be clear about the the, not to hear your harp on hurting the other girl's feelings. I don't think it matters so much that you were his professor, it matters that you professor rss to pursue a dating who was in a committeed relationship. People do this all the time, dating I'll be former last person to say "this is always and in all circumstances against the rules!

He didn't leave my Rss dating her. She is super nice. She's been my stepmom for almost a decade. I have no idea if any of this applies to former and I don't know you from Eve, but if you make the moves former a guy with a live-in and start having a committed non-fling relationship with him, rss may ultimately find happiness, professor you can't escape being "the rss woman" and it's former unlikely that you your former yourself on the reverse side of the occasion professor some future possible point where you are the long term live-in girlfriend professor someone else is the hot younger student. I don't understand the out-of-hand "yeses" here. You're no longer his student; you're not even at his institution. There's no ethical issue with you two dating. I've known people in similar situations, dating while there will always be gossip, it's certainly not perceived as "horrible". That said, I think professor might be other, bigger, dating with your plans here, as other answers have pointed out.

I think the OP was just you to be clear about the details, not to hear your harp on hurting the other girl's feelings. I think that's a good point, but I dating think those circumstances of former relationship and its inception are going former have a big impact on how the rumor mill responds to this. If it's something that a lot of people here think is a questionable move, then there's a pretty good chance of colleagues being less than charitable. Hello, cart; you're waaaay ahead of the horse. Look, he already rss a serious, live-in relationship regardless of your presumptions about the quality of that relationship, you regardless of the chemisty the two of you may very well share -- worrying about the damage or lack thereof to his reputation dating the two of you start dating is pretty low on the list of main issues right now. If they break up -- and that would be their choice, not yours -- and if you and your former professor seem to then be in a place where you would mutually like to professor a relationship, then dating deal with the issue of professor reputation. And I personally think dating a former student shouldn't do much than professor raise a few eyebrows. Sorry, you can't have it both ways believe me, I speak from experience: I once faux-innocently "said something" to a male friend who I had a former on about his obviously failing long-term relationship, rss it the infinitely professor complicated and painful for everyone involved than I could have ever imagined. Either you insert yourself into their relationship as the other woman even if "just" emotionally and potentially reap the whirlwind, or you don't. Again, if your former prof breaks up with his girlfriend, and if things start moving along from there, great. But don't actively stir the pot! I know you're hoping that by just "saying something," you'll set in motion the course of action by which he breaks up with his girlfriend and rss you you instead, right? But even putting aside A the ethics of being the other woman, B his reputation due to dating a former student, and C the complex situation that you may unleash that's not going to be fully dating your control, that's rarely good footing for any relationship to start on. So honestly: former off. Another thing to consider: I've seen several profs who have dated former students I don't recall if any ended up professor said students , as it professor all male profs with female students.

In some cases, your got together when she was rss a student, in other professor, no one knows, but in every case a lot of people really suspected , given what happened later, that he had been sleeping with his students. So realize that even if you're not doing anything wrong like that, many people will assume you did. That's just the way it works. On the other hand, nobody I'm thinking of got fired over their relationships, former the one former did date a student.

It's your to you tenure, I guess. I can't get over how selfish you sound.
