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?

      From the way you told your story (which might be biased) it’s very clear that he was showing interest.

          You say he “caught” you looking. That implies you were already aware that you were responsible for it. Or at least you think you were. And you might be right.

          But men can also be really stupid in this regard, so it might be conincident. I don’t know, it’s a very unique situation and I wasn’t there.

          As long as you are confident that what you told here is roughly what happened, then I’m certain that he’s interested.

              Everything. You looking at him, him noticeing. Then he starts paying more attention to you, takes you on a ride home. You’re not winning any writing awards with that post, but it seems quite clear to me.

              Also you’re 25 years younger … there just is a very high statistical chance that he’d be interested unless you’re like super disfigured. Men are stupid.

                  I’m sorry, it wasn’t mean as a personal attack. If english is your 2nd language that explains a lot.
