<p>I don't see anything wrong with it. It's totally legit. You're 18 (or older), and she is still pretty young. I would have at least talked with her a little more, only because of HOW insanely rare that is.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's weird, but think about it for a little....</p>
<p><em>I thoroughly enjoyed this story BTW.., kind of wish it would happen to me! thankfully I'm descent looking</em></p>
<p>uh why are you posting here when you could be with that professor???</p>
<p>NSM is right,</p>
<p>and a So Should You, said with a certain swagger, can send a confused signal, so when dealing with the prof be friendly but don't flirt back</p>
<p>One word: SEX</p>
<p>forget your girlfriend...do the professor.</p>
<p>See how far you can take it with the professor, just for the lulz. Or you could continue for massive win.</p>
<p>I'm going to hope that the professor was drunk (or at least heavily intoxicated) which is why she had to pee and was more open about telling you how good looking you were. If she was drunk, then I'd dismiss her comments because she probably would not have said them sober.</p>
<p>Also, are you sure she's a professor? not a grad-student instructor? 'cause mid-to-late 20's is a young professor. Usually people are at least 26-27 when they get a phD, and then they have to postdoc a few years before finding a faculty position.</p>
<p>yea...what you shoud do is "do your professor."</p>
<p>^How can the phrase "partying for one" have a sexual orientation?</p>
<p>Not a good idea to start some sort of illicit relationship with your professor .besides i know women that just comliment guys on their look not meaning anything . don't take it the wrong way i mean she is your professor!</p>
<p>wow, I feel really bad for your girlfriend, not based on what happened with your professor but the way you're dealing with it.</p>
<p>i second the suggestion that you end things with your gf, because she probably deserves better. then you can consider making a move on your professor -- who by the way sounds really unprofessional.</p>
<p>If you had been drinking, there's a chance you read more into the exchange than she meant. If you do what some here advise -- follow-up and try to get sex from her -- you may end up making a fool of yourself and alienating the person who will grade you for the course.</p>
<p>Also, is there any chance that she didn't realize that you are one of her students? It's so early in the school year, and classes can be so large, that there's a chance that she thought you were a grad student or even another professor. If she was tipsy, that also could have caused her to misidentify you. If you start acting in her presence on campus like you're out for a date, she may have no idea why you're behaving in what she views as an inappropriate way.</p>
<p>I also agree with those who suggest that your girlfriend deserves a better boyfriend than you appear to be.</p>
<p>A couple of months ago, I read in Psychology Today that when men see women smile at them, men think it's some kind of sexual invitation when meanwhile, women are smiling simply to be friendly. The researcher suggested that such an attitude helped propagate the species because men's overconfidence helped them impregnate more women than they would have if they were correctly reading women's signals.</p>
<p>^Then that's good! We must further the human race. I say capture both women, move to Saudi Arabia, and do them both.</p>
<p>Either you were drunk and misread the situation, she was drunk and either unintentionally engaged you or misidentifyed you, or she's just a TA.</p>
<p>But if its all legit I would go for it. It could be such a "sexy situation."</p>
<p>Haha...your girlfriend's still asking whether you're "being good" or not. </p>
<p>But seriously, just forget about it. Maybe she was just being nice, maybe she was flirting...doesn't really matter. No biggy. </p>
<p>And for what it's worth, I don't see why a few others are being all "your girlfriend deserves better" on you :/</p>

<p>Let me re-phrase.</p>
<p>Just tell your GF in a joking manner. Dont make a big deal out of it. Prehaps your looking too deep into the situation.</p>
<p>Northstarmom: Your post #32 is quite interesting, and being male, I wholeheartedly agree with it.</p>
<p>If I see a woman smile at me, it's almost like instinct to take it that she thinks that I am attractive or wants to get to know me on a more personal level. In many ways, this is true. I've noticed quite a few girls who smile at me and are more interesting than just to be "friendly".</p>
<p>It's a complex issue, one that involves many factors (how attractive the girl who smiles, the guys own perception of himself, etc.) but to all you females out there: if you smile at a guy, he's most likely going to take it that you like him! </p>
<p>Now, a question to you females. If you see a guy smiling at you how do you take it?</p>
<p>Pursue her. You only live once. It could be quite the joy ride.</p>
<p>This was his professor, we must remember. How often has a teacher/professor commented you on your looks, especially of the opposite sex?</p>
<p>Talk about "The Graduate" with her. :)</p>
<p>If she was just drunk, or you just misread the situation, it doesn't really matter either way, as long as you're subtle when you talk to her.</p>
<p>Did she say, 'nice shoes, wanna have sex?'</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>She said you looked good. </p>
<p>That is a signal that she was interested in maybe talking to you. Congrats, but let it go. By the way, do you want your girlfriend to tell you every time some guy trys to chat her up? </p>
<p>Move on.</p>
