I’d like to make a move but not sure if he would be open to that… It seemed so but how can I gauge his interest?

Not expecting anything serious.

More info: 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?

    Oh, honey, no.

    I deleted paragraphs of advice because you’ve made up your mind and you’re not actually looking for counsel.

    Just know a 25 year age difference is a lot. It may work but statistically it is a terrible idea. What do you have in common aside from the class where he had authority over you? No need to answer, just think about it.
