To ask out the headmaster?

[brotown]

Ds has a week left in the school.
No idea if he's got a girlfriend
I dreamt about him and can't stop thinking about him.

Placemarking

Why not ask him if his wife gets involved in any school activities and see what he comes back with, or ask the LSA in the class if he is married as you are thinking of inviting some people to a BBQ or look him up on Facebook for His relationship status. I work in HR all these people saying teachers cannot date parents is totally unenforceable at work.

Go for it, OP!

update??

update plsssss

Do not do it! It's his job to be friendly and approachable, it doesn't mean he fancies you. Perhaps leave it over the holidays and if you still feel the same, find out if he's single.

Hoping for a positive update.

And I can't believe the amount of bile on here. In fact it's been apparent on a lot of innocuous threads lately. Nobody is hurting anyone. Must be nice to live in an ivory tower

OMG , some of you people on this thread are an absolute disgrace. Imagine highjacking the OP's thread and arguing like children then trying to embarrass the OP. Disgusting.

I’m not sure the op will be back tbh

*Blindly people are giving the OP a terrible time here. Get a grip you horrible bitches! She isn't planning on riding him reverse cowboy into a full school assembly , she is thinking of giving him her number to call AFTER her son has left the school forever.

Good luck OP and ignore the pearl clutchers and doom mongering. Go for it.*

I died laughing 😂😂😂
And yeah I agree, go for it OP

Wow this thread quickly took a turn for the worse. Wtf is up with some people?

Op, go for it. You sound lovely and deserve this. At least if you don’t get the answer you want, you don’t ever have to see him again.

I've just caught up with the thread too @brotown

I really hope you do something - I can only imagine how tough the last 4 years have been. 💔

I think you sound lovely & also sensible. And I'm sorry for some of miserable & mean comments that have been posted.

Please let us know! 😊

You do come across as very sweet, OP. Good luck with hitting on the HT 😘

I just wanted to clarify that there is no rule regarding teachers having relationships with ex pupils parents. I should know, a) I’m a teacher, and b) my dad married my deputy head. They began dating during the summer holiday after I took my GCSE’s, and I stayed in at the school to do 6th form. They married a little after I finished my A levels. Also with regards to feeling awkward, no I didn’t. I wanted my dad to be happy and 20 years down the line he and she are happy, she’s a fantastic nanny to my children and quite honestly one of my most favourite people in the world. I say go for it OP, if it works out, brilliant. If not, chalk it up to experience and be proud of yourself for taking a positive step in beginning to rebuild your life after your tragic loss. Good luck xx

OP, I also think you should go for it. You sound lovely and deserve to be happy. Sounds like you’ll be fine, whether he says yes or no! If it doesn’t work out with him, keep being brave and keep looking for love! Good luck.

Wow!
This went bad. You people need to take a deep breath and look at yourselves very hard in the mirror tomorrow.

There’s a tiny possibility Brotown is a fantasy-peddling attention seeker.

There’s a biggerchance she’s a widow, tentatively attempting to move on with her life and seeking a bit of reassurance.

Any update?

OP can your next thread be called, AIBU that my AIBU thread got taken over and blown out of proportion, when all I wanted was a date,
Hope you meet someone HT or not because lives for living not regretting

I see no reason why you shouldn't show an interest in him once your son is out of the school. It will not inappropriate if your child is not there any more. I would take a direct approach -- "I think you are a great headteacher and an interesting person, and if you are single and straight I would love to have a drink some time, now that I am no longer a parent at the school." Nothing to lose and nothing wrong with it if you are up front about it.

OP.. he sounds nice, as do you.. its only a drink, and well done you for taking a chance, wishing you and your son all the best

I have no idea why you're getting a hard time.

I hope you put something in the card and I hope you get a good response,

WTF happened on this thread???

I really hoped for a yay moment!

He is single (so far as we know) OP is single (so far as she says) and it’s the end of the school year. She hasn’t bounded over to him; pinned him down and forced a confession of love!

Ffs she can show an interest. If he isn’t interested it will be obvious! Being interested would be less obvious!

OP please give it a go. Then let me know via PM if you don’t Want the best of vipers pulling you down...

Nest not vest

OP. I hope you asked the headmaster, or at least gave him a card with your number in. It'd be lovely if a romance or friendship evolved for you both.
Absolute best of luck x

Please don't brotown. This sounds awfully like the classic" Patient-Fantasising-About-Handsome-GP" scenario.

Just try and leave it as a far-off dream. Reality can turn out to be embarrassing and cruel sometimes.
