Ok so, I am a bit confused.
My question may sound a bit conceited to some, but I actually just don't understand why!
He is around 40. Was my instructor at university just a couple of weeks ago.
I'm over 18, a young girl considered very attractive by guys (and girls).
I'm not his student anymore and never will be.
He is not married, Not good looking, really nerdy, in fact everyone is saying how awkward and ugly and weird he is, and I don't mean it in a mean way, but to rule out the suggestion that he has many other girls to chose from for instance, because if he was attractive and got a lot of attention I wouldn't be asking this..
So for some reason the idea of approaching him got exciting for me!
So I sent him an email, just asking a couple of questions that were very neutral but not exactly school-related (like what he specializes in).
He ignored this email.
So then, the next day, I just walked into his office and straight up asked him if he'd like to join me for some drinks or coffee over the weekend.
He looked very flattered and smiled a lot but said no, he can't!
I asked why - he said he doesn't date students. I told him that I'm not his student anymore - he said that he just doesn't date students..
I told him that if he changes his mind - here's my number, call or text me, and handed him the paper with my number that I had ready.
He said "Thank you, I won't, but thank you"
Then after that I sent him another email as a "P.S." to that short conversation we had, where I said that I like him, and that I even made up some reasons to show up to his office and talk to him and things like that. It wasn't a very "dramatic" email, I used a lot of smiley faces, it was just nice and cute.
To be honest, I thought he'd at least respond with a short line like "that's very nice to hear, but unfortunately as I said I can't..." or something like that.
But he just ignored it again.
So I don't understand, why did he turn me down? Did he personally find me That unattractive for his taste? Though it is kind of frowned upon, you're allowed to date students you don't teach anymore. And I would for sure Not be taking any more of the courses where he's instructor. I mean, most guys, even if they are not IN LOVE with the girl, if they find her attractive, and she approached them and asked to go for a coffee/drinks sometime, would accept her invitation on a date, and even good-looking guys would..
And he doesn't get too many girls approaching him for sure, I was probably the first one ever, I could tell that he was pretty taken aback and confused.
So why did he refuse me/ignore my emails then?
(P.S. If I was him, I would go! )
