Is It Ethical for a Professor to Kiss a Student?

Click For Summary
A user recounts an unexpected encounter with their former psychology professor at a bar, where she, seemingly tipsy, kissed him. The discussion quickly turns playful, with participants joking about the implications of a student-teacher relationship and the professor's state of inebriation.

Others chime in with their own experiences and humorous takes on student-teacher dynamics, discussing boundaries and the ethics of such relationships. The conversation also veers into lighthearted banter about the differences between engineers and physicists, with participants sharing anecdotes about their own academic experiences and dating mishaps. Overall, the thread combines humor with reflections on the complexities of attraction in academic settings.

But after he burnt the dinner he was cooking and then spent the rest of the evening showing me his qualifying exam (and telling me how easy it was that even I could have passed it with what I learned in his class :rolleyes:), I decided not to date physicists anymore. I stick with engineers now. :biggrin: :smile:
Bah ! I bet an engineer would fail that qualifier ! :rolleyes:

I did go on a date with my physics TA when I was an undergrad, but that was about a year after I took his class; we just happened to run into each other after the class was over...he was taking a course down the hall from another class of mine, so we'd run into each other every week. But after he burnt the dinner he was cooking and then spent the rest of the evening showing me his qualifying exam (and telling me how easy it was that even I could have passed it with what I learned in his class :rolleyes:), I decided not to date physicists anymore. I stick with engineers now. :biggrin: :smile:
:smile: It's a good thing I was not drinking ginger beer when I read that - it would have hurt coming out my nose. I had to fasten the seatbelt for that one. :smile:

You're too much Moonbear.

Didn't you study engineering before you started your physics PhD?

Engineers are just better with doing stuff with their hands. :wink: Dodges the projectiles thrown by the physicists...oh, no worry, they calculated all the trajectories right, but still can't throw. :-p)[/size]

being ordained over the internet is just as valid as being ordained any other way.
Oh I don't really mind the method, it's the fact that your church is almost non-existant that makes it insignificant.
