Flirting with my teacher?
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...

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
I say... Go for it. You're twenty-two and he's what... Twenty-nine? That's not too big of an age gap. Infact... It might be perfect. I don't know you, but you sound pretty mature. He might level with you a lot better than guys closer to your age.
So... Give it a shot. Even if it doesn't go as well as you would have liked... At least you won't be asking yourself, "What if?" later.

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!

be with him because i obviously think youll belong together

It's definitely acceptable. You'd just be going as friends. It doesn't have to be anything else if you are uncomfortable with that for now or for always. Have a great time! :)

I flirted with sooooo many of my teachers. Go for it- I would love if some of the ones I flirted with would email me and wanna go to dinner lol. You're old enough to make your own choices and he's not your teacher anymore.

yes, that's perfectly fine! sit down with him at dinner, ask about what's been happening in his life, etc. if you feel uncomfortable with it, then you don't have to do it. i think that that's a pretty sweet idea, though! good luck with it!
