Hey guys, it's me again. I know I'm resurrecting this thread after almost a year, but it's kinda for a good reason.
Something kinda funny happened about 4 months ago (I think it was in November, or late October, somewhere around that time)
I received a friend request on Facebook from...you guessed it, the very same professor I asked out. Now keep in mind, at this point in time, I am no longer a student at her school, I'm at a new school, and even in a new city (but only a few hours away, and my folks are still there so I visit often)
But basically she messaged me and was like "Hey, who is this again? I saw I had a few messages from you in my inbox. Were you one of my students?" (we had briefly chatted before, nothing serious)
So I told her the truth. I said "No, I'm the guy that came to your office and asked you out."
We had a laugh over it, and so we stayed in touch. Only occasionally at first, but we started chatting more often as the weeks went by.
And fellow Escapists, I have to tell you...it's been amazing. I have so much fun chatting with her. We talk about everything from movies to food, we talk about work, hell we even once had a conversation about French literature (she was impressed that I knew who Jules Maigret was) it seems like we never run out of stuff to talk about, and we make each other laugh.
She promised to teach me about wine, we've both promised to cook for one another, she's even talked about coming to visit me in Savannah for a weekend (well not specifically to visit me, but still)
It may not end in the happiest sense, I can't predict the future, but it's going great right now. I can't wait for spring break so I can go back and visit.
