is there any chance that this math prof has interest in me?

To the best my knowledge, the average IQ for someone with AS ought not be higher than that for anyone else.

You aren't from around these parts, are ya.

On the other hand, I spend an awful lot of time in a maths dept and unlike my fellow students, actually know my lecturers reasonably well (which of course makes my degree hillariously easy). Plus academia is a global community - my lecturer knows people from just about everywhere.

i like him A LOT. i want to date him. i get accomodations from the disability resource center, but i handed in my exam form late, but my prof tried to tell them to overlook the late form and he was saying how it is sh***y of them, they're as*holes, and he's a bit annoyed and pissed off. i thought he would just tell me to write it in class. i think he's being really nice. would i even be able to date him even if i just pass this course? i also failed the last one, but he said he would work out something. taking my other failed exam and not couting this one that i failed lol. he is 15 years older than me, but he's very handsome, slim, witty, humourous, nice, maybe tall, very hot, maybe athletic and sensitive. he is not an aspie at all, but i am. he seems like one of those guys that are extremely intuitive and social.

could it possibly be that he likes me that he's trying to help me even when i handed in the form late? i mean i assume other profs wouldn't even bother about a late form. i told him that i could write it at the department, deferred or just in class. i was thinking that he's trying to help me because i failed my last exam and i went for help a lot recently.

he also told the class that there's a math info session about careers with math degree the day after i asked him if i could go into engineering with a math degree. is this just a coincidence or did he actually research the session for me or as my roommate said, he might have thought that this session might be useful to other students as well.


To be blunt - nothing you've said indicates interest on his behalf towards you. At best, his actions would be described as sympathetic by my estimation, and nothing more. If you want to pursue something, that would be up to you... but I would not advise it on an assumption that he has romantic interest in you being a motivating factor. Further, doing so may affect your education, the future of one or both careers, etc... there are consequences. All I can really advise is to think about it from your own perspective and do not simply do what someone herein insists is 'correct'.

Kangoogle, your question was rather inappropriate and off course of the conversation. Personally, I think your logic of manipulation in relationships is a little disturbing and unpleasant; not the sort of thing that I find attractive in another.

"Whatever happens, you win." - Looking at relationships as contest might be something to consider, whether that really serves any beneficial purpose... I apologize, but I found it just a bit self-centered.

I agree with the above poster. STAY AWAY.

It could mess up your education.

He may be being nice because you are disabled, too.

If he does get involved with you and breaks the rules, he is scum. It could harm you in the long run.

I liked a Prof once who was actually near to my own age. We had a great time and I just harbored it inside. Toward the end of the semester it became VERY uncomfortable and I was glad nothing came of it because it began to get weird in class.

of course, im not going to do anything before i get my final grade. no way, he's just a nice person. i don't care about my education at all getting impacted because there's no way it could, but he possibly could.
