A date with my professor

I was recently perusing a dating site that I tend to frequent too often and ran across a profile with a familiar face. Some years ago in my undergrad anthropology course I had a professor that was absolutely brilliant and also quite sexy. At first I was hesitant to send him a message but I decided what the heck all he can say is no.

I decided to send him a message and said that he looked familiar, and reminded me of a professor I had in an undergrad anthropology course. I also stated that he looked great, and commented on how much I enjoyed his class. As luck would have it he responded, and stated that he was in fact a professor of Anthropology at the school I attended. He thanked me for my message, and was grateful that he had made an impact on my life with his course.

I decided to take it a step further and told him that I always had a crush on him and wondered if I was too obvious. He responded that he was also attracted to me. He further stated that he wanted to connect with me as well, and that he was not aware of my crush.

Long story short we spoke over the phone and decided to meet for dinner and a movie the upcoming Friday. At first he wondered if this was too akward for me and of course I stated no. I asked him if I should continue to call him Professor X , he laughed and said no that I could call him by his first name. Of course my wicked mind thought about a scene we could eventually play out as student and pupil, but I kept that to myself.

So friends and fans what do you think? Should I show up with an apple in hand or a bottle of wine for an after dinner drink?

How many of you will admit to a crush on a favorite teacher or how many of you have already dated a teacher from the past?

I will update you with the results of my first date. Sounds like a LifeTime movie in the makings!
