He was my driving instructor. I’m 26 and he’s 51. On the day of my driving test he caught me looking at him twice, from across the place. He seemed surprised for a sec and then nodded to me both times. Then it felt as if he started orbiting around me, paying me more attention…

When looking at him I was realizing I had a crush on him haha just to give you an idea.

By the end he chose to make me go last for the test. Did not expect that cause yes, I was nervous but I’m a really good driver, while the other guy was like 18 and idk I think more in need…? Then he gave me a ride home and explained it was so I could avoid traffic and stuff…

Then he said “it was a way to protect you” twice, both times as if uncertain of it but it felt like too much and not spontaneous. Again, I was nervous but would have done great anyway. “Protection” seemed so out of place, is it just me?

    The answer is yes. You’re on your peak reproductive age. Of course he would do you. Even if he wanted to “protect” you from predators because he “cares” about you, he would still do you given the opportunity (you’re a gold mine to someone in their 50s). All humans are animals.

      Yes I know what you mean but we can be different from one another, we might make different decisions. I’m just asking if that day in particular he was making a move or just being nice

        Even if he wasn’t making a move consciously, he was doing it unconciously. That’s why you should communicate and establish expectations/boundaries if you’re in doubt.

        I’m not saying being genuinely nice doesn’t happen. I (male 20s) myself was genuinely nice to a girl who came to me out of nowhere (she wanted to to fuck me probably in retrospective) and took her to home because she walking alone at night in desolated place so I was genuinely worried for her safety. But this was because I used to be very ingenuous. Someone in their 50s definitely hasn’t the same mentality of a clueless 20yo virgin like I was.
