Question

Is it wrong for a guy to date his college professor?

Answer 1

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's illegal because people might come to the conclusion that you are getting better grades as a result of your romantic relationship with your professor.  You could get her into some serious trouble and probably be kicked out of school yourself.  I think you should stick to students.

Answer 2

It is while you are still a student -- but OK if you are not.

Answer 3

Why?  Is it love, or just to get a higher grade?

Either way, not very cool.

No one will believe it's love, and the only thing likely to result is someone gets hurt.  The professor could lose his job, and you could lose your credibility, and friends or family will only believe that your professor was exploiting you, and you were gullible enough to allow it.

If your age difference is more than 6 or 7 years, then the problem is even worse, as our society usually condemns this kind of romance, almost as much as a "student-pupil" relationship.

Answer 4

It would be a conflict of interest for the professor. That could cause problems with the college, could even put their job at risk as some colleges have specific rules against fraternizing with students.   If you really feel strongly about each other then wait until you are not in any of that professor's classes before dating.

Answer 5

It would be very wrong for your college professor to date you.  There are almost always policies against professors dating students, and s/he could get fired for going out with you.  If you knew this, and went out with the professor anyway, it would be wrong of you to put the person in such jeopardy.

Answer 6

wow. goddam dude. even if it weren't wrong, i still wouldn't date any of my female professors cuz they're old and ugly.

Answer 7

Yes, and I would think it was against school policies.

Answer 8

yes  

Answer 9

I don't see the problem if they didn't get caught. It's a free A, and if she is hot then that's even better. I would date my college professor if she were at least mildly attractive.
