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.

I vaguely remember a similar thread last year. A lpt of teachers must be inundated with being asked out by their student's parents coming up to the summer holidays. 😂

*lot

Steer well clear OP. It’s potentially, so embarrassing, I know your child is leaving school but do you want to be the talk of the staff room? Please don’t risk showing yourself up. I am utterly amazed that some on here are encouraging you. Leave it as a harmless crush, and in a few months you will have totally forgotten all about it without any embarrassment.

I highly doubt she'll be "the talk of the staff room" I don't think many teachers discuss their colleagues' love lives between lessons. Besides, if he isn't interested I doubt he would tell them

Ive worked in school for 12 years, we’ve had parents take an interest in a staff member or two (not me, but then I’m somewhat dumpy) those involved have been flattered. Not really talk of the staffroom, I promise the usual gossip topics are worse than that!

Talk of the staff room??!!!

I doubt it. But if so, who cares?

Think the staff might find it entertaining if the Head were propositioned in this way.

Go for it OP. If you don't ask you'll never know

Think the staff might find it entertaining if the Head were propositioned in this way.

1. Find out if he has partner. If no
2. Wait a week till your son has left the school although he may then escape for a bit so you may need to be patient.
3. Ask him out. The worst is he’ll say no (for whatever reason) and be flattered. You’ll be disappointed perhaps slightly embarrassed (but shouldn’t).
4. Good luck !

5 years, Lol. I am trying to think how that would ever be policed. Do they hand out a badge to someone ??? "It has been four years and ten months since the parent's child was at the school."

OP - I think if you feel comfortable doing it, it's fine. You don't need us to say that if you "feel a connection" others probably do too. My older DCs Head is extremely personable. Some of them just do have this manner. So, if you're weighing that up as evidence of anything, I'd be very cautious. But as you said - you'll never see him again and I think it is 100% certain he'd never say anything lest someone think he was trying to cover up for having made the move himself. It would raise too many questions.

Why is a woman asking a man out being called her 'propositioning him?'

Would the five year thing relate to teachers and students, maybe?

so the event toniht

Update please

Yes..?

The prizegiving leavers event tonight, I was a bit of a mess, so didn’t talk to him.
Really upset cos I was there by myself, I don’t usually get that emotional but my son was leaving Junior school and I couldn’t stop thinking about his Dad not being there to see him. So I was a proper Billy no mates, crying, so it wasn’t quite the right time!
I was very conscious that he/the teachers could be feeling sorry for me, so it was all a bit strange. I hate being on my own for these things, it didn’t bother me in his old school, but being new, I feel like people are discussing me.
Nice informal glass of wine afterwards and I’d pulled myself together, and chatted to another parent, and the kids were having fun.
This is not the right time for me, I don’t know whether there will ever be a right time. I like him, I think we’d get on well and it’s the first time I’ve thought that way about anyone, except maybe Chris Hemsworth or Aidan Turner

Sorry it’s a bit of a miserable update ☹️

I think you were well advised not to approach him at the prize giving ceremony...

Not a miserable update at all OP, you don't owe anyone anything. Why do you think they were feeling sorry for you? There must be quite a few single parents?

I’m sorry you were so upset tonight OP, leavers ceremonies can be emotional at the best of times. Wishing all the best love

Probably because she was upset and crying

You sound lovely, brotown.

Events like these must be really difficult, and a strange mix of emotions. Look after yourself.

There are single parents, but both parents will still come. Or grandparents.
I probably looked lonely
There’s no widows/widowers.

That sounds really hard.

You poor soul. Things will get easier and you'll meet someone when your ready. It won't always feel so lonely ❤️

PS - leave number in a card 😀
