Alright. This isn't quite as bad as the title makes it sound. I am 22/f and over Christmas while I was home I ended up running into my high school math teacher. He was only a year or two out of school when I was in high school. We had a pretty good conversation and I was talking a lot about my school, stress and thesis and he was funny and offered great advice. Anyways He sent me a really nice e-mail over the weekend (apparently he got my e-mail from another teacher I still stay in touch with) and asked me how was going, wished me the best and asked me if I’d like to get together for coffee or dinner when I'm finished.
So, he isn’t that much older then me, but it still seems a little awkward to agree to a date with someone who taught me. I think he is, at most, seven years older then me, but I want to know what other people think. Would be acceptable to go to dinner with him? I would really like too... (link)

Yeah absolutely. If you want to see him, go for it. It's a long time since you were taught by him and you're both adults.
If you think people you know might be weird about it just don't tell them to begin with. It's only dinner, there's no need for the world to be informed. If it doesn't turn into anything more then you've avoided any awkwardness. If it does I'd think that people could accept it seeing as the age difference is really not that great and you're 4 years out of high school.
It might be the cause of some gossip for a while simply because it's relatively unusual and makes for some good bitching but I don't think people will find much inherently indecent about it.
Hope you have fun!

Thank you, that's almost exactly what I was thinking. I just had to know I wasn't alone in it :)
