To think that he fancies me, and to tell him to BACK OFF

I'm a bit embarrassed about this, but I can't talk to anyone else about it.

I'm mentoring a student (he's about 25 and gorgeous). We have had a few meetings in Pret and we both enjoy wholesome, vegan food. So far, so normal (and dreamy)...

Anyway, earlier today we both chose the same sandwich... only there was only one left! Sad My mentee(?) looked me in the eye and said "well, I might be lucky next time" Blush I honestly didn't know where to look!!

I'm supposed to be meeting him and his tutor next month. I don't know what to do?!

Because he let you have the last sandwich? Or am I missing something?
Don't embarrass yourself, just carry on being professional

I'm with Ducknose

Does he also say "hello" when you see him and "bye" when you leave?

JeReviens · 29/09/2017 21:16

Are you in the grip of some dreadful hot flush or something? Only you sound off your rocker tbh.

Well, it was more the way he looked me in the eye and said that I might be lucky next time.

I think the only reasonable response would be to tell him that you know his game and to back the fuck off. Possibly while wagging a threatening finger at him.

Jump him amidst the butternut squash quinoa next time. That'll learn him good and proper.

4eva, no! This is the thing. He sometimes avoids me, but I think it's because of our connection.

Why would you tell him to back off? Just be normal

Aquamarine1029 · 29/09/2017 21:19

I think you need to calm down. I don't even understand what there is to get so worked up about. So what if he fancies you? What's the big deal?

FindTheLightSwitchDarren · 29/09/2017 21:19

From your op, tbh, it seems like you are the one who is being inappropriate ("swoon", "gorgeous" etc), and who may need to back off.

OnionKnight · 29/09/2017 21:19

Err you sound a bit nuts.

sunshineintheclouds · 29/09/2017 21:20

O deer. Sounds like you need to back off. Shock

You're not that Chester Zoo gobshite are you? Cause honestly the threads are getting shitter by the day.

Timefortea99 · 29/09/2017 21:20

How old are you? You sound like a teenager.

Iloveanimals · 29/09/2017 21:21

A sandwich? Really? Maybe we'd have had to be there... Hmm

BulletFox · 29/09/2017 21:21

I think she has a little crush Grin

Aquamarine1029 · 29/09/2017 21:21

What comments could possibly help?! Your post doesn't make any sense, honestly.

OnionKnight · 29/09/2017 21:22

Maybe he wants a fish finger sandwich.

This thread may or may not be sailing over some posters’ heads

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 29/09/2017 21:22

I don’t really understand.

lurkingnotlurking · 29/09/2017 21:23

Was it a really good sandwich? Because I think he was talking about the sandwich.
