I'd be open to the idea of taking this somewhere.

I know of someone that just turned 23 and he's dating a woman in her early 30s.

And there was an even older woman that made it more obvious she had a thing for me. This woman was in her early to mid 40s. She stared at me a lot. And when they handed out condoms during class, they said they were giving us a few. They gave me 8 condoms and I said "That's more than a few." And this cougar said "You'll need them for later"

What's with these cougars being into me? Why can't I attract a girl my own age?
You were probably able to pick up on subliminal signals and you just can't identify and articulate them.

Go for it man. And don't forget to reciprocate a few signals as well so she knows you're interested...

Lol...forget about signals already! Heck, when I like someone, I just verbalize it Much easier...much simpler...no misread body language signals; everything all out there, in the open

Well then your preference for "signals" are through words!

Of course, it also turned out that he was mentally ILL!

Many people touch. Never assume that the person WANTS you. You could end up looking like a complete fool. If you think someone is attracted to you, then you need to TALK about it.
Yeah...some people's love language is physical touch, and it doesn't always mean they are into you. It just means that they feel some kind of intimacy (good intimacy, not hormonal raging kinds) in that way.

Not always. Many people act aloof. Aloof can come across as disinterest, arrogance, and snobbish.

They might think someone shows signs of having a thing for them. And I've picked up on signs like that before. But there is no way to be sure if someone has a thing for you.
I've never been able to pick up on somebody liking me. It is always a huge surprise coming from nowhere when they confess their feelings. Usually their feelings aren't reciprocated cuz I haven't had time to think about it. I'm the type of person who has to grow slowly into liking somebody.

In retrospect I guess I can see that the guys were acting a bit weird or awkward but nothing else to specifically indicate "having a thing".

Then there are people who enjoy flirting but that does not mean that they want to date you.

Methinks since the CD kid had a dream which produced some sort of an epiphany which may well have put him on the path to some degree of normalcy where relationships are concerned, he's started to over-fantasize in high mode.

To retrack, he hates kids, has absolutely chosen to remain celibate for the rest of his life since absolutely NO form of birth control is foolproof (according to him and based on a 10th grade teacher's comment) but now a 30 year old teacher who puts her hand on his knee has a "thing" for him and he's thinking of following through with this? This 19 year old virgin has so many issues it's enough to make one's head spin.

Would that he might eventually join the real world and maybe this is a tiny little light at the end of the tunnel but I wouldn't place any big bets on it. His history bespeaks all and his fantasies run rampant .

This 30 something is not a teacher. If she was a professor/teacher, I would realize any type of relationship is off limits.

And the teacher made the comment during 9th grade. Which is a good thing. Because if the comment was made during 10th grade, it might be too late. Like I said earlier, there was a girl that wanted to have sex with me at the end of 9th grade. But luckily, the teacher made the comment by then.

Lordy Lordy, how could I have paid so little attention to your posts that I missed out on so much crucial information?

So the 30 year old who blatantly touched your knee wasn't a teacher. OK.

And the teacher who told you that no birth control method is 100% safe told you that fact in 9th grade and not 10th grade. If he/she hadn't told you that in 9th grade you would of course have succumbed to the sexual overtures of that blatant hussy if she'd approached you in the 10th grade. What a bullet you dodged there, for sure. Wow! Thanks for correcting and clarifying. Good thing!
