Accidentally Asked Someone Far Out of League

I've heard this one a time or two. Guys tend to freak out when they see me in a class and I get it and they don't.

I had a pretty attractive (read: stone-cold fox) professor for one of my sophomore year gen eds. I happened to run into her at a bar that semester while some hip-hop/R&B music was playing. I said "Hello Mrs. X, not preparing lesson plans tonight?" She responded "No, I don't even want to think about preparing lessons right now." I was a few drinks in and I responded "Do you want a lesson in bump & grind?".

She laughed and politely said "no." Don't judge.

Unlike, physics, "leagues" only exist in your mind. Don't worry about it.

There's nothing that an older guy likes better than to think he's attractive to a hot young chick. Enjoy yourself and be smart. He might just be very sick of worrying about getting sued so is going a different direction. I know one MD who got his own law degree he was so disgusted with legal aspects of medicine.

If you just replace "Someone Far Out of League" with "practicing muslim who doesn't date," then I've done that before.

"Leagues" don't exactly exist, although I think we all have some sort of peculiar gut reaction to seeing someone desirable with someone undesirable.

It doesn't sound like you have any problems, though. I can't see why him being a graduate student would matter.

Also, I don't know if you know this before, but being a girl who just finished high school probably has the exact opposite effect on most men than you think it has.

I agree with previous posters. The concept of "leagues" is just a residual outcome of the human ego and societal pressure. Just because you (or someone else) does not seem to measure up definitely does not mean you two are not a correct fit. Be bold, if you want something go after it; don't let doubt and insecurity deter you.
