Is it wrong to date your professor?

[maryam_jafroodi]

Hi!well obviously my professor has a crush on me and I kind of like him back, and in my country there is no rules against dating your professor, but I don't want my friends to think I date him because I want an A. And I will get an A without his help anyway. What should I do? go for it or leave it?

[imd14bikes]

Go for it!! If you are worried, just wait until the semester is done then date him

[amanda_ox8]

yummm yessss and its illegal! ewww

[Jimmy Dean]

i suggest leaving it unless the professor is somewhere around your age. if anything, wait until you are out of their class. things could get a little messy otherwise

[duh]

it is wrong....

[tom4bucs]

Ask your Dean of Students that questionor your Provost Marshallvery unethical - until you are out of school

[GisL4all]

[KCbabi]

[E. Y. D]

[sips]

go for it ... as long as you are ready for a bit of talking about it because people will talk about it and as long as he wont loose his job over it.

I'm not certain I understand whether you're asking this as a question of ethics or whether it's a question of simple dating advice. To the former, I think that it is wrong to date your professor because it affects the relationship you have inside the classroom. To the latter, if you like someone, why not date them?You have to decide for yourself whether or not you feel comfortable with whatever ethical implications exist.

If you love him don't let him commit career suicide like that. It's nothing to do with the rules, its an ethical thing, he's in a position of "power" over you. Take frequent cold showers and wait until you are no longer a student of his.

Honestly, it could possibly work out, but I'm always a bit skeptical of relationships that may begin on unequal footing. Not that he is any better you any less, but obviously he is in somewhat of a power position, and what you should be aware of is whether you would feel the same about him or interested in him if he wasn't your professor. Obviously he won't always be your professor, so student/professor relationship aside, are you interested in getting to know the person that he is regardless of his professional merit? Not that it is wrong to be attracted to someone for their intellect and their abilities, including responsibility, but just to make sure your feelings are unadulterated as well as his is key in my opinion.
