Life.

If you ask your teacher a question during a test and he tells you how to set up your problem, is it cheating? What if you went up there with the explicit hope that he would do just that?

If you got a long group email from another teacher inviting you--in the midst of other personal updates--to the Red Iguana over Fall Break with other students, graduates, and the secretary of the College of Engineering...would you go? What if he started talking in third person and discussed his horoscope?

If a voice in the bathroom stall next to you politely asked you for an unmentionable (named thus because of mixed-gender readership), and you gave her one, would you wait to emerge until she left the bathroom or would you brave the seemingly inevitable face-to-face encounter?

If, while studying for a test, one of your classmates came up to you and asked if you'd be interested in dinner sometime and after stating, "Oh, wow..." you ran through every excuse in your head including, "I'm dating someone," because you weren't at all interested in dinner sometime but didn't know how to say no; and eventually you just said, "...sure..." because he was just standing there waiting for an answer and thankfully, instead of getting your phone number he handed you his business card...what in the world would you do? It's just, I know someone...who has a friend in this situation so...they'd, uh, like to know.

I'd shamelessly hide until she left. I'm not about the face to face encounters. Run Away. Tell more about the teacher sitch. Odd.

Here is the best possible solution:

Get drugged up on novocaine or morphine so that you can't feel anything at all. Go out with him and eat some really great food.

Then make out with him like sea otters. Just think about what a charitable act you are doing him. No pun intended.

On the way home, fake your own death.

Wait for one week.

Change your name Ivana Svitzhoosafette and come back to class. If he asks you out, just tell him that you're a lesbian.

Problem solved.

What kind of loser just hands you a business card?? Tell him you lost it (but only if he asks).

Call only when you're absolutely starving and you don't get paid for another two days.

I would totally face the bathroom chick...but I would run from the last one...he sounds sketchy.
