So, we met for a lesson last Thursday night at her place. We went to her bedroom for the lesson, but that doesn't mean much as her roommate was using the living room.
Her room is a mess of posters, hair products and a mattress lying on a floor.
We do the lesson, but as she isn't very studious, we don't get much done.
Offers me a whiskey during the lesson.. I tell her I'll have one after our lesson.
I was going invite her to join me for a drink afterwards, but she says she has called over her friend. I was about to leave, but says we should all go for a drink.
So it's Katie, me, her roommate(Emma),her friend(Penny) and Penny's gay friend(George).
We went to a nearby bar and Katie sits down and motions Emma to sit next to her.
I just relax and enjoy the drinks and conversation.
Conversation is good,especially with Emma. Katie is difficult to talk to meaningfully because her mind is mostly on partying. Emma is a bit older and more educated and we get along well.
Katie reaches over once or twice, but I don't respond.
Going home, I notice Katie and Emma walk ahead of us, and her friend Penny is walking with me(their gay friend George had left earlier).
We say goodbye and I will see her again this Thursday.
I realize what many of you will say about this situation, but I felt it is more honest to present it as is, in the hope that I can do better next time.
I understand that Katie has lost interest in me and that I have burned my ace.
I would say that all the advice I was given here on the board was valid, just wish I had posted sooner about the situation and how to deal with it.
I let my thoughts about our age difference and the teacher-student issue get to me, and I shouldn't.
At the end of the day, we were man and woman and I should have gone with instincts.
We talked a bit on Sunday(messenger) but she cut the conversation saying she had to get some sleep(she had never done that before).
Our lessons finish in about 2 to 3 weeks and it is very likely that Katie will be living on an island for the summer.
I guess there is nothing to be done now except exit gracefully.
She has invited me over to the island, and still seems positive at times, but it is clear that her interest is much lower than it was.
Still, I want to thank the posters who gave advice(the harsher , the better I think) because I feel disappointed in myself and the way I handled matters.
Should I try anything with Katie in the last 2 weeks, or should I just let it go?
Thanks for reading,
