Hi! 🙂👋 I’m newer here and am starting to gain a following, so I figured I’d share this again.
I’m 24 and have spent several years, until recently, in a relationship with a man who once taught me.
Entering into such a relationship can be complicated, rocky, and not always worth it. On the flip side, I imagine it can sometimes be worth the challenges and obstacles and can, under the right circumstances, end well for all parties involved!
Developing feelings for someone older can be totally normal, especially when it involves a teacher. Someone intelligent who cares about my success? And maybe they’re physically attractive... What’s not to like? But I want to stress that not every feeling is meant to be acted on. Daydreaming is normal. Heck, I’m an expert there! Scroll through my page and you’ll see what I mean! Talking out your feelings (with someone who is not them) is normal and encouraged.
If anyone has any questions for me, feel free to send an ask, anon or not, and I’ll speak candidly about my experience!

[I want to note that I do not advocate for or condone relationships where one of the parties is not of legal age, nor do I recommend that you or anyone approach your teacher or professor when you’re still a student of theirs or while you still attend the institution at which they teach.]
