Well, I agree there could be some parenting relations there, but I don't think it's like that. I'm not looking for another parent, just looking for a friend. And I totally agree that stopping contact if I am using up to much emotional energy on her is necessary. But yes I would love for her to remember me in a positive light. It's really cool hearing from a female college instructor though, and hearing that perspective. So I guess you don't think it would be weird if I am not hitting on her? Unless of course she directly comes onto me, I have no plan whatsoever of making a move. I just want to stay friends or contacts. I mean, just today, someone at the university career center who I got to know wants to stay in contact with me, so I really don't see it as that weird. I think I'll take a shot with this. Hopefully I'll see her at graduation tomorrow and can give her a hug, and hint at staying in contact. If not, then I'll send an email. Either way I want to give it a shot, but I will do my best to forget about it if she ignores and does not respond well. So usually know when a student has a crush on you? That's interesting to hear, what would make you think that?
