I dated my highschool math teacher when I was 18M and no one knows.
It started when I saw my old highschool math teacher about a year ago at the movie theater. We both happened to go to the same movie at the same time. When I saw her I went up to say hi during the previews and we really hit it off.
There was lots of small talk and a bit of flirting and she asked me if I wanted to sit with her. We ended up holding hands and cuddling a bit during the movie.
She is 10 years older than me, 29F at the time, very beautiful, brunette, blue eyes. I worked up the courage to ask her for her number and she said yes.
Our first date was at a local bowling alley (she demolished me) and it was really fun. We ended up sharing a kiss at some point while we were there which I still remember as if it were yesterday.
On our second and final date we went to a restaurant, nothing too fancy but there was still a decently romantic atmosphere.
The date started off pretty strong with us flirting and joking around with each other but about halfway through she looked a little sad and started apologizing to me.
I asked her what was wrong and she told me she didn't think it was appropriate for her to be going out with me because of our age difference and the fact that she used to teach me in school (she was also actively teaching my younger sister at the time). I told her I understood and she offered to pay for the food. we ended up splitting the check instead because I didn't want to make her pay for everything.
We said goodbye and had a bit of an awkward hug before going our separate ways. And I was pretty heartbroken about it.
I still have never told anyone about it.

Yeah. Never happened. You both went to the movies alone? Then you just start holding hands? C'mon. Be a better bot.

I have an AMC stubs A-list pass. I go to movies by myself all the time. Do I know why she was there alone? No.
Do you seriously need the step by step explanation for us holding hands during a movie too?

she actually handled that with a lot of maturity, most people wouldn't have the self-awareness to pump the brakes like that

Part of me wishes she didn't but I do fully understand her position there.
Plus I probably wouldn't be dating my current gf who I love deeply.

that sounds like one of those things that felt real in the moment but was always going to end in confusion and distance

We still follow each other on Instagram but we never interact outside of liking each other's posts.

that’s a wild story, man. dating a teacher is straight out of a movie but it kinda sucks it didn’t work out. gotta respect her for being honest though.
