happythoughts 0 #1 August 7, 2005 Are teachers really that difficult to get along with ? My buddy says never to date one. He told me that they are too used to ordering kids around and it spills over into their personal life. I think it is just an old prejudice like "computer people are all geeky".

happythoughts 0 #4 August 7, 2005 I have seen officers get out into the civilian world and use their military social skills at the job. It wasn't always successful. I don't know about the dating thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #5 August 7, 2005 This just came up in one of those bull sessions among 5 date-less guys. I always find it funny that the people who don't have an SO are the authorities on relationships. People never take financial advice from poor people, so why do they take relationship advice from single people ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cudlo 0 #6 August 7, 2005 Kinda depends on the teacher... Some really are HORRIBLE people. But, they were that way before they got into teaching. Doesn't really matter what someone's job is, but who they are to begin with as a person._________________________________________ "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Kierkegaard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(though that may be true) I've never heard that one, but being the research-oriented kind of guy that I am, I hereby offer my services. (taking a cue from MrMiami in his recent post) If there are any hot teachers who recently broke up with their boyfriend, are under 30 years old only and preferably latin or asian please, then PM me for a date! Of course I hope to have a really LARGE population sample! Walt p.s. No hatemail, please--it's a JOKE!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People never take financial advice from poor people, so why do they take relationship advice from single people ? Sounds not so much a case of relationship advice but more a case of DATING advice as in, "Don't waste your time dating a teacher!". MOST people in a long-term relationship don't have much recent dating experience. (Notice I said MOST) Anyway, I think it would really depend on the teacher.

mouth 0 #10 August 7, 2005 I tend to be a take charge kind of teacher and it often spills over into my life. I was doing a 4 way yesterday with 3 guys who were clueless so I took over. There are times I'd rather not be in charge but have no choice since so many people don't step up. If you hesitate I will take over because obviously you have no clue. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

No doubt HappyThoughts' friends will read this and think "QED" or "I rest my case". (QED is an abbreviation for a latin phrase, "quod erat demonstrandum", that appears at the end of mathematical proofs. It means, "that which was to be demonstrated") Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #13 August 8, 2005 You have always been a "something needs to be done, I'll do it now" person. I always thought that made an excellent adult. Perhaps that is the key, few people get to the point of taking charge of their own life. Some people avoid responsibility in their lives, so a person who accepts control is a good match for them, while a poor choice for another. I think that answersmy question. Perhaps the person was not into sharing that control. I think that changes when you have kids because the level of effort can be overwhelming for one person. A little help is welcomed then.
