So, first of all, hello! Nice to be back!
So, I’ve been working in under-served schools. I’m a co-teacher with a BEAUTIFUL 23 year old girl. In January, she broke up with her boyfriend of 4 years, and she started getting friendlier with me. Friendliness turned into hot and cold flirtiness. Even the kids are aware of it.
Anyways, last Tuesday she was flirting with me hardcore. Smiling, some touching (brushed her boob up against me), looking at me, even calling me by my real name randomly (something no one does). But, she always responds with one word texts, so I just don’t text her.
Tuesday night comes, some staff go for drinks. She puts on a SHOW. At first, I wasn’t talking to her, but we were texting. She yelled something across the table. Then, as we get drunk, convo becomes about who’s sleeping with who. She whips out her phone, and starts talking about Tinder, who she’s talking to (earlier in the night, I had my knee up against hers, she didn’t budge). It just seemed like she was trying to get a rise out of me. For example, a teacher asked me what my type was. As soon as I was done, she starts going, “well MY type is…” That’s how it was until she excused herself (I overheard her telling another teacher the next day at work that “last night got really weird.”)
I made a small mistake. She left, I was left with one teacher. After some questioning, I told the teacher I thought my co-teacher was attractive, and that I think she may like me. She said, “she’s not into you. I asked her she said no.” I told her “yeah, I’m calling the bluff.”
She went and told my co-teacher. My co-teacher calls me “boo” every now and again, I called her “boo” twice. I called her “boo” via text message in class on Friday, she said it made her uncomfortable. Then, Friday night after a school baseball game (I’m assistant coach and I’m pretty sure she was looking over at me quite a lot), she left without saying a word, then texted me saying she heard that I said we were dating (the rumor mill). I told her what happened Tuesday night, and she kind of waved it off as “ah, no big deal.” And then she told me she was in love with her best friend and I was ruining her chances (which I think was a ploy).
Also, before the game, I downloaded Tinder, came across her, right-swiped (meaning find her attractive), and she matched, then deleted the match (hmmm…)
Anyways. I told her as long as we work together, I care too much about my job to get involved. We no longer work together after May 5. She responded with “word.” I think my BEST chance with her is when I’m done (after May 5), and we are teaching in different schools.
My question: I still think she’s interested (maybe not), but I think she at least WAS interested. I’m going to act no different than I have, but I will NOT initiate any of the flirting.
ALL I have with me right now is a wee bit of A314. My intention is, to be blunt, want her to want me.
With THAT in mind, I also work with 5th graders who have bad behaviors, and I don’t want them to feel aggression from me.
Thoughts on what pheros to get? I’m not looking for the entire cookbook, just another 1-3. A314 makes me feel very serious around her, and sometimes, even angry (a mix of her for being hot and cold and not straight-forward, and the kids for general misbehavior).
I’m thinking IShine is a definite. I want her to feel as if I’m not bothered by these going-ons, that I’m incredibly sexually attractive (which I think she already thinks, I just want something to affirm it), and that I’m highly desirable (which I already run pretty good game in the school – lots of the teachers really like me).
I think at the VERY least she is sexually attracted to me. She may not want to date me, but I doubt she ISN’T sexually attracted to me. Hell, once I wore a tight t-shirt to school and I caught her staring at my arms all day.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
