• 0:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: Well, here's my confession, and honestly, I am struggling with it. Okay.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: I am a high school teacher, and I'm 28 years old.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: A few weeks ago, I was out with some friends
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: when I ran into a former student of mine. And
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: she's 23 now, and she's been out of school for
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: several years. So I said hello and asked her what
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: she's been up to. And I figured that'd be the
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: end of it. But she kept talking to me all
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: night and we ended up catching up about her life
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: and her career and everything she's been doing since graduation.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Before we left, she gave me her number and later
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: sent me friend requests on all my social media accounts.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, so this is a former student that you see
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: out and about. You end up talking to her, doing whatever,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and she gets your number.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Weird vibe. Now, where does this go from here?
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. Okay, since then, we've been texting pretty regularly,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: and here's where I'm conflicted. We're only five years apart
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: in age. And if we had met today and there
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: was no teacher-student history, I don't think anyone would think
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: twice about it. She's an adult. She has a career,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: her own place, and her own life. And it's not
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: like I'm breaking any laws or school policies because she's
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: no longer a student, but I can't shake the fact
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: That I used to be her teacher. Yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I get that.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: That is a factor. I don't, I mean, to me,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the age is like, whatever. I mean, I get it
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: because you're a young teacher. I mean, there are young teachers.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Very young.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Not every teacher I had when I was a kid
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: was old.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, a hundred percent. Maybe one gym teacher was young
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and that was it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Right. I mean, nothing inappropriate ever happened. I just want
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: to be clear. Nothing inappropriate ever happened when she was
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: in school. I never looked at her that way, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: I certainly never imagined I'd be sitting here years later
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: wondering if I should ask her out. It's just the
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: hardest part is I don't really feel comfortable asking my coworkers.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Most of my friends are educators, too, and I'm worried
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: they'll immediately judge me without hearing the whole story.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Of course they will.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I think they're the best people to ask.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure this has happened before, but
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Candace, does it seem icky to you?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: It's a little icky, but it's only icky if you
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: make it icky. You know what I mean? Like, you're
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: both adults. She's how old?
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: 23? Yeah, yeah. And it's just the phrase former student
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: sounds bad. Yes. Like, in reality, we're two adults. Two
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: just happen to be close in age. Part of me
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: thinks I should avoid the situation because it looks so bad,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: but the other part just keeps wondering... if I'd be
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: walking away from something that could actually be great.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to deny anybody true love.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Right. I mean, any other 23 and 28 year old
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: would just date, you know?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: But it's not, but that's not the situation.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Just don't tell everybody that she's a former student. Am
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I the only one that feels weird about this? I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: can't believe it. I feel slightly weird. Former student. This
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is someone, you were their teacher.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: If you set the precedent right now, like, I don't know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I just would, I couldn't do it. I just don't
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: think I could do it. I don't want to deny
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: anybody from love. You're not, you haven't done anything wrong.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You're right. You're only 28. She's 23, whatever.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it's different because she was in high school.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It's not like she was a baby. You know what
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: To me, it would be different if she was in college.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Then I feel like, well, no, that's still weird.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see where it's weird. But in reality,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, I don't think anything's wrong with it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Well, then, you know what, dater? Start dating seniors.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: No.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: No.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: You remember a while back, I tried to hit on
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: my former teacher. Remember? Back in the day. You did?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: How are any of them still alive?
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I'm not that old.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I saw my former history teacher and I was like, hey,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: what's up? What was her name? She shot me down.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Miss Colbert. Oh, yeah. That's right. She's married.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Why would you hit on a married woman? I didn't
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: know that back then. You know what I'm saying? I'm
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: just like, hey.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: But we're talking decades after you were in school. Oh,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: my God.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking about four scores and seven years ago.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And this would also be more weird if she had
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: just graduated.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: She did. She's 23. She's 23. She's five years different.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: She's been out of high school for five or six years.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Five years is nothing.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I got underwear five years old.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Well, you didn't get no underwear.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I got underwear her age. OK, listen, technically, you're not
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the world's worst person. If you do this, I'm just
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: saying personally, I couldn't do it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But I'm not saying you should.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I just couldn't do it because the optics just don't
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: feel right to me, especially if I'm if I wasn't
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: a teacher anymore.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not even a teacher anymore. Yeah, but I'm still
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a teacher.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: So if I'm still a teacher, I'm setting the precedent
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that I will date a former student.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That's weird to me.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, you have to decide if you're comfortable with it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you decide that. Figure it out. Let us know
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: what you do.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: But it sounds like if you've been texting back and forth,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, the line's already been. I'm not saying you've
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: crossed the line. I'm not even saying there's a line
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: to cross, but you've already kind of went there. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to happen. Hmm.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: You feel like, you feel like you're going to ask
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: her on, you're going to go out with her and
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: maybe something will happen.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Oh man.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We'll see. Let us know what happens and good luck.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying you're, I don't want to make
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: it sound like you're, you know, some kind of predator
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: or creep. I don't think that I just, it's not
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: my thing, but good luck in whatever you do.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Alrighty. Thank you.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Candace acts like this happens every day.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying. It could be weirder.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You didn't date a teacher, did you?
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: No.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I gotta ask.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: What? No.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Well, who's trying to date teachers over here? Yeah, but
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I was reckless back then. Would you still date her? Oh, yeah. Ms.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Colburn?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you're still reckless then.
