He was my driving instructor. I’m 26 and he’s 51. On the day of my driving test he caught me looking at him twice, from across the place. He seemed surprised for a sec and then nodded to me both times. Then it felt as if he started orbiting around me, paying me more attention…

When looking at him I was realizing I had a crush on him haha just to give you an idea.

By the end he chose to make me go last for the test. Did not expect that cause yes, I was nervous but I’m a really good driver, while the other guy was like 18 and idk I think more in need…? Then he gave me a ride home and explained it was so I could avoid traffic and stuff…

Then he said “it was a way to protect you” twice, both times as if uncertain of it but it felt like too much and not spontaneous. Again, I was nervous but would have done great anyway. “Protection” seemed so out of place, is it just me?

    You didn’t ask him what he was protecting you from? Maybe he saw some guy who he thought was trying to prey on you.

        The other people taking the test, presumably. I don’t know, maybe he was preying on you himself, maybe he saw someone in the testee group he thought might do something bad to you. You apparently didn’t ask him.

              “Then he gave me a ride home and explained it was so I could avoid traffic and stuff…” quoting. When saying he was protecting me that’s what he referred to.

                I see. I didn’t understand that from the way it was worded.

                In that case, it sounds like he’s just a sexist asshole who think women can’t drive as well as men.
