In love with a professor?
Ok, this is awkward. I've liked him ever since I joined college, from day one, and he's always treated me different, always looked out for me, done favors etc, everyone tells me he likes me and I feel so too.
He has had a rough phase in his life where he lost his mother and recently got divorced. We started talking through Facebook a couple weeks back and he asked for my number. We are constantly in touch. Then we had a bet on something and I had to take him to lunch/dinner. But since he is very well known around, he said it would be better if I went to his place and I did. Nothing funny happened, we just talked. And when I left, he kinda hugged me. He texted me later saying he had a really great time and we should do this more often. There is no future to this but I can't help myself.
He's 40 and I'm 21.
What should I do?

I'd wait until you graduate to pursue this further. I'm normally ok with people being different ages, since many people I know are around 10-15 years apart. However, the problem is the fact that he's a professor. Not to mention, if he just went through a divorce, he's very vulnerable right now and will use anybody willing to be nice to him. I'd advice to wait until graduation and then decide if you want to be with him.

well if you really like him , just try to think of all the reasons to not be with him and if you cant think of a major reason not to be with him , you should try being with him. as long as your both adults , i think its ok to go out. older men are more mature and easier to be with , so theres a plus side to his age. chasing younger men could just end up having lots of failed relationships. so ya , follow your heart and do not care what people say , if he makes you happy and doesn't hurt you go for it. but before you make any advances make absolutely sure he likes you in the same way , try to keep in touch as much as you can with out annoying him and a dinner at his house sounds like a great way to make a connection and find out if he really likes you.
