    So, I'm past the age of consent and am only attracted to people who are older than me. I'm just wondering if any of you would date a former student.

    If you're talking about someone who as my student it would have to be well after (like ten years later).

    Heh, my screen name says it all in this case. Did that. Age gap was about 10 years, which at the time I thought was immense. She was totally out of school and there was no chance of us being in a teacher-student relation again. Didn't last but it was a wonderful relationship.

    High school teacher/student? Maybe after 4 or 5 years when that student had completed college, if there was an attraction, sure. Not the day after graduation if that's what you mean!

    I teach teenagers. Sometimes they turn 18 right around the time they leave me to go away to college. I would never date one right away. I still consider them "my kids". Occasionally, one comes back to see me a few years later, and then it does feel a little different... like they are adults. Not that I've ever even thought about dating one, but just saying they do seem more like a peer than a student once they are back after a few years.

    For what it's worth, if you are a kid with a crush on a teacher, PLEASE UNDERSTAND that it is sooooooooo normal to feel the way you do. When it is happening to you, you think you are the only one on earth who could have such intense feelings. It will be OK!
