Question Posted Wednesday October 21 2009, 3:05 am
I sort of like someone but hes like a lot older then me and a professor at my college but Im not taking his class anymore. I know hes itnerested in me but I dont talk to him anymore.
I live with my parents and I know they would get mad. Also Im a virgin and I definitely do not want to have sex with him but if we did have a relationship or flirted or anything I think he would expect sex.
Do you think its possible for him and I to flirt through emails without him ever expecting anything from me and without anyone finding out and maybe in a year when I move out we can officially date? Or do you think he would be too impatient or tell my parents or want something more?
If you want to stay in touch with him, do so. Be friendly, not flirty.
If you flirt with him, understand that EVERYONE, all human beings, when they realize they are being flirted with EXPECT something. The one way you can even try to make sure someone has the right expectations is to be upfront and honest with them. Even then, they still might not get it.
So it would take a you being very honest with him about your desires and hopes. It doesn't sound like you are willing to have that conversation.
And as far as your assumptions about him and what he would want:
YES, I think a mature, adult man would probably know what he wanted from his relationships, and not be willing to devote a good deal of energy into a relationship with a very young lady who would *maybe* be able to give him that, in a year or so.
An adult male who would accept such a situation, would neither be very mature, or very sensible.
