Haha. The lady at work was about twice my age and seemed hyperactive. At work, she would talk my ear off and try to make me keep her company when I wanted to leave. Once she blocked the way to my desk did a sort of dance while giggling to try to make me laugh.

She would constantly talk about me in the office to the extent that others got angry and thought it was favortism. She would tell me about converstations she had about me to other people and repeat what they said in response. If she got any personal info about me, like my stepfather had molested me, she would blurt it out to people including my male friends.

I really think that woman had some mental deficiency and might have been gay but either didn't know it or couldn't admit to it because we lived in a very religious town. Then again, openly gay women don't get weird around me so maybe my supervisor was just a dysfunctional straight person.

When I say constantly, I mean she could not seem to help herself when I was in the same office or area. And she said she talked about me to people I didn't even know and that they agreed with what she said about me.

Another meaning of constantly was when a former male teacher kept emailing me and texting all day and trying to make me spend all day chatting with him. When I started ignoring him, he started sending things in the mail and contacting relatives about me. At that level, someone becomes a stalker.

So I think you're ok if you are friendly during class, maybe ask her relevant questions. I would avoid trying to chat before and after every class unless she initiates it. Just say hi when you see her and let her choose whether to approach you.

If you practice in the classroom when it's free between classes, some teachers can't resist giving you pointers or some one-on-one instruction, so that maybe a way to gauge if she welcomes interactions with you.
