I thought you were taking his posts literally....I guess he also thought so. That was a bombshell you dropped you know

Aawwwwww. I'm a playful person but he took me seriously.

I'm the sort of person who takes words/advances coming from nairaland males with a pinch of salt.

I lectured in a Polytechnic located in South West Nigeria for four years. I went there as a Corper, and was retained. I'll share how I was able to stay unscathed all the while, keeping the 'pressure' from female students (and female Staff) at bay:

* As soon as I set foot in the community, I identified with the Christian groups and Churches. This kept me from any wilful compromise, even when I wanted to, or had the opportunity (there were lots of them!);

* I did not trust my natural instincts, so I kept my distance - especially from girls I found personally attractive (and there were in abundance);

* I tried not to stare too much - especially the ones that will come to class looking really seductive. Straight-facedness!!!! (no second look was my (still remains) my policy - no matter how fine a girl is)

* I performed my duty with diligence and strictness - meanwhile, I maintained cordiality and reasonableness;

* I always reminded myself that nothing remained a secret for long, especially among female students who would one day brag about how they 'conquered' yet another Staff, or about your prowess in bed - or otherwise;

* I also reminded myself daily that compromising with any of my students was like 'descending' to their level and that I should be prepared to eat the crumb of disrespect that it may occasion;

* I tried not to entertain female students who always want to come visit on any reason, except they are in the company of others;

* When they call, or sent text messages (they always have ways of getting your phone number) I replied as cordially as I can, maintaining a mental and emotional boundary that must not be crossed;

* (Don't laugh, please): I conspicuously kept a copy of the Bible on my desk;

* I flaunted pictures of my fiancée in my office and used it as my phone and computer screen saver (we were hundreds of miles apart);

* If I sensed that a girl was 'coming on' too strongly, I would politely ask her "HAVE YOU GIVEN YOUR LIFE TO JESUS?" (It works EVERY SINGLE TIME. They get embarrassed and never come back, and I guess, they go and tell the others)

* I maintained godly principles of transparency, integrity, purity, obedience to God, respect for constituted authority, diligence to duty, etc

* I treated every encounter with my students (in or out of class) as an avenue to influence them for good, not evil

* Can't think of the rest . . . (Its all about having personal godly values and principles!)

>>With time I gained a (not too good) 'reputation' for myself (they called me a monk, Jew guy, Holy-holy, Pastor etc). After a while, they all just IGNORED me, I think . . .
- Today, almost nine years latter, happily married with two daughters of my own, I recall those formative years WITHOUT REGRET AND NOTHING TO HIDE!

Diplomatic in what way? Who am i trying to impress?

Sophyrocks:

Diplomatic in what way? Who am i trying to impress?

No one ofcourse, just that .........you must have heard about a man's pride?

Sophyrocks:

Really? we do? i dnt know abt that. you seem to be the only one who has noticed that. Is it a bad thing?

i know ur kind, very friendly and open. I wont reply ur next quote walahi.

DSuperWoman: hmmm guy u dey form romantic abi?

Dsuperwoman face ur work ooh.

OnyeEgo1:

i know ur kind, very friendly and open. I wont reply ur next quote walahi.

Are you afraid of my kind? You sound like you ae running away from something.

Its all good. EOD.

Kachisbarbie:

Lol...maybe. It pained me small sha.

so the moral of d story...if u had a strong feelin for ur student, so far the age difference z nt alarmin and the gal z nt a minor (18 yr old or close) n she is in mayb ss3, go for her. Lets nt blow things outta proportion, who say a young corper/teacher cant fall in love wit his female student...the only valid pt here is he should nt take advantage of her.

Everyone has got pride and everyone gets disappointed every now and then still. Nothing new.
