Thanks to Nanette's amazing advice, I asked out the gentleman of my affections. After a (not-so-glowing just so-so) annual review I emailed him, asked him if he had his and if he wanted to go commiserate/celebrate. He said yes!

So 4:00 at school rolls around. I poke my head out the door to see if he's around. His classroom light's off and I was SO disappointed my bad day got worse.

He comes in 10 minutes later, we chat for a while and then he gets up saying he didn't want to stay late. He lingered at the door and I sat there with my eyebrows raised. "Soooo..." we both say. Finally I blurted "So, do you wanna go out for a beer?" He says yes and after cleaning our rooms we take my car to a hipster little bar that serves hundreds of beers.

We talked for four hours!!! We people-watched, enjoyed our beverages, laughed, talked about anything and everything. He paid for everything even though I asked, "Are you sure?"

Drove him back to his car (school parking lot--kids and cameras still around). He didn't hug/kiss me, just said the standard this-was-fun-we-should-do-this again. I put my car in reverse to back away and hit the gas but realized I was still in park. Being an auto shop teacher he turned to look at me with a look of horror as I flooded my engine. I just smiled my cute little smile with a lame wave and drove away.

I can't stop smiling like and idiot and I'm on cloud 9. We may just be friends or it may be something more but I had a helluva nice time with a funny, thoughtful, cute smart guy. I'm going to see if I can wipe this smile off my face and see if I can come down a little bit so I can get some sleep.

Just wanted to share what a good day I had--went from bad to perfect. Hope everyone else had such a good day

That's good but don't get overly worked up over the situation and don't get too disappointed if you find out within the next few days that he doesn't share the same interest that you do. It's best just to continue the working relationship/friendship as it was before you guys went out for drinks (don't act like anything has changed). And he needs to be the one who makes the next move if another move is meant to be made.

@Sony very sage advice thanks for the insights. You're spot on especially since school years still going on and we see each other every day. The proverbial ball is in his court.

That a' girl!.....Makes getting up in the morning a lot more fun when there's a little glow to look forward to. Enjoy, but be patient with your actions and thoughts. The next move is his. I hope he pulls through for you
