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.

Going to pickup now, won't be able to look at him probably!!

Email him? We have email addresses for teachers at our school. Could be less embarrassing for you both if you avoid asking him face to face!

Either way, definitely ask him! You've literally got nothing to lose.

In the school where I am a Governor, he would be unable to date a parent of/a student, or parent of/past student who left within the previous 5 years. It crosses professional boundaries and he would have to decline. This is a county wide safeguarding policy.

'I've really enjoyed talking to you while ds has been at the school. Would it be ok to give you my number?'

Do it OP. Life's too short for what ifs. If he says no then he says no. At least you'd know either way. Good luck 🤞

And seriously even if he's taken/not interested it's not embarrassing!
My DP was recently asked for his number out of the blue in the queue at a shop.
He just said "that's very flattering but I have a DP and DCs" the lady just said "ah well it was worth a try" and they both moved on.
Nothing traumatising about it.

Read the postie thread!

If your DS is leaving the school why not go for it? Life is short, the worst he can say is no, and then you don't have to see him any more anyway.

At the event casually ask did he bring a date, if he says he's single take it from there, if he is taken he will have brought them, or (hopefully) will make an excuse for them not being there.

Best of luck with it!

That Postie thread is so sweet

Go for it!

Why are we all so weird about asking someone out?

She's going to ask him a question, not dry hump him!

Good luck, if he does say no, at least you know you are at least able to ask people out

Try to get into conversation with him at the weekend and see if he mentions a partner. Ask him if he would fancy meeting up over the summer if not. Keep it casual. Why not give it a try? As you say, you'll never see him again if it is awkward.

NewtonPulsifer That policy was very much ignored at my old school!

Please do it! You've nothing to lose.

Put your number in a thank you card, asking him to get in touch if he fancies a drink sometime. Give it to him on the last day of term.
You have nothing to lose. And you never have to face him again anyway.
Good luck & don’t forget to update us!

Cattaxi's idea is good. I might be inclined to write 'if you fancy a coffee' rather than 'a drink'. Seems less loaded.

Any update @brotown ? I really hope you take a chance. Good luck!

Please update x

Nothing yet. Ds is no use at all, no info from him
Social event is tonight, it’s a big thing, so might not find him, but I’ll try

Good luck

I've got everything crossed for you tonight @brotown !

Ohhh Good luck!

Any updates OP

Really, Laurie?! That sounds a bit sad, tbh

Sorry to say, no update☹️
He was behind the scenes all night, so not really available to chat or even catch his eye.

There's hopefully a couple of times this week I will see him, they have party and leaving service so I'm not giving up just yet.

He sounds nice and if your sons leaving the school anyway...... have you tried googling him to see if he’s married or anything?

Have you really no idea whether he’s in any sort of relationship already? It must be easy enough to find out, surely. I’d direct your efforts in that direction first, tbh.
