Want to ask my T.A. out for coffee...

[Shivastorm_88]

O.K. I unfortunately didn't time my **** correctly, got late at the tutorial (it's a mandatory tutorial) and at the end there is a quiz so I couldn't go talk to her, and this was the last session; in other words, story of my life, I always wait for the last minute and then get screwed over!

However, she had given us her email address, so I was thinking of trying it out via e-mail. What's the worse that can happen anyways? Get no reply? Q_Q much

Anyways! I was thinking of breaking the ice with an e-mail to thank her for the lessons she's given and throw in an inside about my doing yoga (she had commented on that once during the lessons) and if she replies with a somewhat significant message, than try to go for the kill with something of the lines of:

"I thought it would have been inappropriate to ask you out in a class situation, so here we are instead, faced with a good ole situation of "asking by email"! So how about it, care to join me for coffee" Or whatever, basically ask in a very light tone, I'm not there yet so not really concerned about it.

Any suggestions guys?

You're treading dangerous waters in a number of ways.

First, in many instances, school policy forbids relationships between TA's and students. If that is true, she is risking her reputation for you. Are you that attractive?

Second, she is essential in a workplace by being a TA and you're hitting on her in her workplace. The "professional woman shield" tends to kick in during these circumstances and she may not be receptive at all to getting picked up.

Third, she is in a position of authority by being the TA. That automatically puts you in a weak position. It will be an uphill battle for you to be "alpha" in her eyes since you are like her "student". Maybe that's why you feel shy about approaching her and want to do it in an e-mail in the first place.

It may be convenient because she's a sitting target being your TA & all, but I suggest you forget about her and sarge other girls.

I'm with the others. It's very inappropriate.

You haven't even gotten your final grade yet. To invite her out borders on trying to bribe her.

Even if you got your grade and are done with her academically, it's still not appropriate.

If she has half a brain, she would refuse out of fear you would brag about it. I'm not saying YOU would brag, but most guys would and her reputation at school would be hurt.

I'm sure she is attractive, but honestly, don't go there.
