There is this girl that works and works out at my college gym that I always see. I have become a regular over the past year at the gym and i always notice her working, working out etc. I never bothered to talk to her because she works out pretty intensely and i dont like to disturb her or my workouts. neways, the other day we just starting talking to each other and it turns out that she just started as a high school phys ed teacher. I was surprised because she doesnt look a day older than 22 and this would mean she is at least 25-26. I am a third year undergrad and am 20 years old, but i look a lot older than i really am. I didnt tell her my age or whether i am in school or not. Most people that work out at our college gym are usually alumni or grad students so its a much older audience. Do i have a chance hooking up with her? she is exactly my style; nice girl, fit body, pretty face... But shes a high school teacher and i just graduated high school two years ago.

Cliffnotes:

-Met girl at gym
-She is a teacher
-I am 20
-Help!

 

You can dooo eeet

 

Situation seems fine. Go for it.

When I read the title, I thought it was like a 12 year old asking about a teacher

 

You are an adult...Do what you want....

 

A woman a couple years older than you that's hot? Why the hell not?!

 

any tips on (relatively) older women...

I love older women and can only see myself woth older ones...

 

Have her buy you beer for kegger nights at the frat....

 

Older???

Treat her with respect - she'll respond nicely.

 

Sounds like my gym teacher, who is married to a female english teacher... Good luck.

Why does she "have to be" 25? If she just started to teach right out of college, that would place her at closer to 22 than 25, unless she went on for a Masters.

 

In the memorable words of Aaliyah, "Age 'aint nothin but a number"

 

she has two bachelors degrees. thats how it works in canada, bachelors in whatever then bachelors of education.

 

FYI: to get your teacher's degree ... B.Ed. ... only takes 1 yr of Teacher's College (at least in Ontario). That is a joke of a 'bachelors', IMHO.

 

where do you live. my high school had a couple pretty damn hot gym teachers

 

I think you should totally go for her. Age is nothing in the game of love. Beleive it or not, an unmarried 40-year old woman is typically easier for a 20-year old guy to land than it is for the same guy to land a 20 year old chick--so age is not something you should worry about. Just worry about having a good time. And as far as respect goes: treating all females with respect and chivalry will go a long way for you, regardless of age or romantic interests.

 

not only go for it but after the first date tell us how it went

 

^ how come no one has posted:

 

O, thanks for the info, I never knew this. I just assumed it was more than 3 yrs, so she maybe younger than I thought. Plus you can apply after third year of undergrad.

Ill see what I can do with this situation, ill have to assess the situation before I make a move, b/c she is always at the gym when i go. and i dont want to screw and have to change my gym schedule b/c its akward.

 

Don't need a second Bachelor's to become a teacher in Ontario. You need one Bachelor's Degree, then one year of Teacher's College.

 

So, the downside is there might be as much as five years of age difference, and as little as two or three. The real difference is a more subtle one, in which she is graduated and now working, while you are still completing your baseline education. Her focus is on careerbuilding, and yours is on getting your degree.

Is that enough to matter? Not if the chemestry is right, is mutual and is gratifying. I'd find some way to get to know her better; if she responds to an overture for a friendly converstaiton, then that least to the next step and so on......

 

^ I agree

 

Well to answer your question of whether or not you have a chance...yes.

 

Don't see a problem here. I'm currently dating a 24 year old And I dated a 26 y.o. teacher last year (1st grade I believe)

 

I don't understand what the big deal is. So, she's older than you by a couple years? What does her being a high school teacher have to do with anything?

 

First year teacher? shes probably closer to your age than you think. She is probably around 23. Is that an "older woman"

 

Its not so much the age. its like ric said, its the different points in our lives. Im an undergrad, living at home with his parents (yes, I know) and she is on her own starting her career.

 

Could be.

Either way....was there a question here? I mean, the fact that she may be a bit older than you should be more of an issue for her when she's telling her friends about you. For you, there should be no problem at all, not even an after thought.

That's just my But this is coming from a guy that dated only older women the last 3 years. I got tired of the young women drama.

 

pics please

 

its no big deal at all man, some teachers even date 9 year olds. but seriously, if shes only a few yrs odler than you its no big deal..age practically means shit.

 

Your old enough that age shouldnt be to much of a concern. If she just started teaching shes probally 22-24y/o. Ive actually dated 2 teachers in my time. One was the same age as me "25" and the other was a year older. One thing i did notice is that they always wanted to be somewhat "mothering" towards me, which i really didnt mind. I guess it was dealing/taking care of young kids all day is what brought that out of them.

I wouldnt worry yourself about her having a career and you still being in school. Go out and have fun with her!! While shes grading papers at night you can be studying

I say go for it!

 

She could still be living at home too if she's that young and just starting out.

Of course you have a chance, but you didn't mention if you've actually gotten good vibes from her other than friendly gym chit-chat. Do you honestly think deep down she'd be up for hanging out outside of the gym? Or are you just fantasizing?

 

he still feels like a highschool student that why.....

but Yo!! Go for it! age aint nothing but a number anyway unless its statutory rape (or however you spell it). ur both over 18 so dont trip foo!... when i got outta highschool i had just turned 18... i met a girl that was older than me... she was 23. we went out for 2 years! so fuck it!


edit: didnt notice that there were already 2 pages

 

I thought that gym teachers were lesbians.

If she's not just lie to her about your age. if you find out she's older.

Nothing can be stupider than blowing up a chance because you decided to tell the truth

 

Don't listen to Titand, tell the truth, and tell yourself to pull your head out of your ass the next time you go talk to her. I'm not saying you're stupid, I'm just saying that you need to be real, and that this situation is a lot more simple than some of the other guys in this thread are making it out to be. If she likes you, she won't care if you're 18 or 65--she'll see you for you, and go for it. When I was 19 I landed a hot 40-year old woman without even trying. This stuff does happen. One sure fire way to make her dislike you, though, is to start lying immediately upon meeting her. Unless you're a con artist, most women can see right through the bullshit, especially when she's just met you, because she has no other first impression to base her interaction with you on. She may not know what the truth is, but she can tell that you're not being genuine.

Try to find a motivation for having fun. Don't make yourself have fun, just let yourself. And then, go have fun. That's what it's all about.

 

don't listen to me, and see where the truth gets you

 

If you think that hot 40 year old woman actually liked you, then you're the one lying to yourself.

Though I do agree if you're trying to have a relationship you can't be lying like that. If you are just trying to have some fun and fuck around - lie more it's fun.

 

:lol:

 

So ... what's the verdict? How long has this thread been since its inception? Two weeks?

Your window of opportunity runneth thin ... PM where you live. I'll go to the gym myself and talk to her. If I hook up ... your loss, dude. (But wait a sec ... I'm in my 30s and make good money ...)

J/K -- just muster up the courage. Confidence is what get ugly guys in with hot chicks. I never met you so I don't know if you're ugly or not. However, good looking guys with confidence (not arrogance) scores even bigger game than ugly guys.

 

older women FTW!!!!!

 

Any play?
