How Can I Use Tact To Follow My Student(s) Who Is Into Me? by chatinent: 7:04pm On Mar 09, 2020
All right. Let me give you a picture of me. I'm quite fair, tall, and handsome, approachable and independent.


.
I teach in a secondary school (internship) and live with my kid sis who's a teacher too, and, well, I live a stone throw from where I work.
.
There is this particular girl in my class who's showed/and still showing the green lights that she's interested in me. It's clear her motives are a mixture of being needy of an intimate (maybe) relationship and being a friend.
.
I'm not really the kind who'll date his own students, and possibly can never have carnal knowledge with her. She visits on unannounced basis using 'my sister' as the rationale behind such visits.

.
PS: I haven't wooed or done anything indicating I am interested in such.
.

She called last Saturday, and I could not receive the calls due to the place I was. She redailed yesterday, sounding wearily why I had refused her call, and how she's happy to hear my voice.

.
Did I forget? She's always jealous seeing me with any other student (esp. female students); she enjoys staying with me all day which I am becoming uncomfortable with (as it may send the wrong message).
.
She buys things and keeps in my office without me ever requesting. Funnily enough, her close friend (also my student) is also showing same affection towards me.
.
Her friend will always (well seriously)say (should I say jokingly?) how she'd want to visit me which I will (also jokingly) not oblige to.



.
How do I politely show them the nearest exit with tact, and at the same time counsel them and assure them I am their teacher (which I will always be) and can be just a friend without sounding rude?

As form teacher of their class (SS3), it is required you share your number on the board to the class as a whole to the school functionaries (prefects) in class; they all have my number. Secondly, I'm in charge of monitoring these prefects and ensuring good work done.

To be bluntly honest and at the risk of being tagged a peadophile; I'll gladly date and fvck my student[Ss3] if we have feelings for each other.

Quote me and I'll authoritatively tell you that you didn't write your Waec as a virgin.

Prefects only but not during school periods as they may be called upon to function anytime.

It's a shame that no one is talking about professionalism.

Why would you want to date your student in the first place, let alone a secondary school girl?

Have you no shame to even bring this topic to public forum?

I pray her father gets a hold of you! Pervert!!

OP has been modified. I won't change my original post, let's just leave it at that!

You're supposed to be a role model, not their lover.

Would you happy if some riff-raff did same to your sister?

Op, I'll give you the talk a Corp member gave us a long time ago when we were crushing on him. It doesn't mean they'll listen to you and take it to heart, but at least, your conscience will be clear.

"Love at this stage in your life is misleading. Yes, you know what you feel, and I don't doubt they are genuine. But you are too inexperienced to know exactly how to handle or channel that love. You think I'm the most handsome guy you've ever met, but I kid you not, that's because you haven't met a lot of guys. When you do, I won't even surface in your mind again. Life has more to offer you if you'd dream of being a woman of substance like Chiamanda or Okonjo-Iweala who knew right from time to set aside their feelings when they were like you. Be patient. Don't rush into it. Love will find you when you're ready."



In my defence, it was a long time ago and these were not his exact words, but I hope you get the drift.

Lower your quality in their eyes. Make them feel they can do better for themselves than being with someone like you. It might not work, but should put a doubt in their mind.

Good luck.

Never going to be their 'lover.' I just need words to tell them off.
