Is it alright for a 27 year old teacher (who's going to turn 28 this year) to date a 39 year old professor?

Question

work at different colleges, but are both teachers

Answer 1

Unless the age gap is an issue not really.  If ytou work at the same college then there may be rules about employee relationships but I knkow at my uni there is a husband/wife couple in the chemistry department.

Answer 2

I don't think there is a problem with that at all. The way I see age doesn't matter as long as both people involved are older than the age of consent.

Answer 3

Its all good since you work at different colleges.

Answer 4

I know plenty of married teachers/professors.  As long as there is not any professional relationship that can be compromised (one is the supervisor of the other) then ethically there is no problem with it.

Answer 5

Why would that be a problem ? Both are consenting adults and there is no conflict of interest that I can forsee. More power to them, I say. Be blessed and be happy.

Answer 6

I do not see why not. What do you think is the problem the age gap or the fact they are both in the same profession either way i dont see a problem.

good luck

Answer 7

Of course.. you guys are both teachers/professors and well within adult age.  

Do go the discreet route while at school.  You don't want to be the talk of the school.  Carpooling is a different story - I don't see a problem there.  Just meet towards the car rather than twenty minutes of one standing outside of another's office door.  

Several of my professors have dated and been married others on-campus.  

Best wishes to you guys!
