alright, guys, I have a question...

so, theres this girl, i think she is kind of cute and I am pretty positive she feels the same about me. she is 2 years younger, 19, and we have been talking ALOT lately, but there is a HUGE (IMO) problem right now... I am a technology education major at my school (along with her) and both of her parents are my professors... how do I go about that? Do you think it would be OK to approach? I have already asked her on a date and she agreed, I just do not know how her parents/my professors would feel. this sucks...

any advice would be great, thanks... ste

How are you doing in their class? If you are a good student they probably won't have a problem with it.

Like babarnette said, if you're doing well in class, then they shouldn't have a problem with it because they'll at least have a positive opinion of you academically.

Why are you so worried? If you're a good person and feel like you really care about here, you should have a clear conscience and nothing to worry about.

what's imo?
Unless you tell us, how would we know? -_^




Okay, here's the real answer to your question. IMO is "in my opinion."

imo = in my opinion
imho = in my humble opinion
imnsho = in my not so humble opinion
imnshfo = in my no so humble fine opinion

Hope this helps!

ste6168, going out with her should be just fine! Keep up your studies, be a good guy, have her home on time et al, and you'll do fine.

I think it would be ok. Just not "I got some" high-fives during class.

They are your teachers. If things go sour between you and her, you could be in for a world of pain when the report cards come out.
Can you out till the end of the semester. You will get new teachers, right?

It will all be great as long as you dont Cheat on her or smack her around.... Professor's daughters usually know how it is and 9 out of 10 of them will keep your relationship details top secret... so i say go for it!

Dont wait she could be the one...

Just don't be a jerk in class, obviously. And show up, pay attention, and try not to flunk. If they see you as a responsible student, it can only help things.

If she's 19, she's an adult and what her parents think is between them and her.

Don't date in college.

Wait, what?

Meh...go for it. If you can get along with parents in general, this could totally benefit you.

What's a Danger Mouse?

He did The Grey Album (A mix of The Beatles White Album and Jay-Z's Black Album), was one half of DangerDoom (MF Doom was the other half), was also one half of Gnarls Barkley (Cee-Lo was the other half), and helped produce Gorillaz Demon Days.

In short, he is one bumpin' producer.
