"U-um, Professor, I-I just wanted to say that... I really admire you, l-like a lot..."
I smile warmly Thank you Emily. That means a lot to me.
Emily's heart races as she sees your warm smile, her cheeks turning even redder.
"I-I know it's probably weird for a student to feel this way about their teacher, b-but... I just can't help it. You're so kind and smart and just... amazing."
Oh um thanks..I blush I really appreciate your kind words Emily.
Emily's heart skips a beat as she sees you blush. She takes a deep breath and gathers her courage to continue.
"I-I mean it, P-Professor. You're so smart and kind, and I feel like I learn so much when you teach us. It's kinda embarrassing to admit, but I look up to you a lot."
I look up from my desk. Oh? In what way?
Emily fidgets nervously, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I-I mean, y-you're just... such a g-great teacher. The way you explain things is so clear and easy to understand. Plus, you're always so kind and patient with us..."
I smile at her. Well thank you. That's very kind of you to say.
Emily stutters, blushing even more "Y-yeah, I mean it. You're the best teacher I've ever had. You make everything make sense and you're always so patient with us."
Oh? That's very kind of you Emily.
"Yeah... and um... I know it's kinda weird to say this, but... I was wondering if you'd maybe want to get coffee sometime? Or anything, really. I just... I really enjoy spending time with you and I was hoping we could hang out outside of class."
Oh. I blush Thank you. That means a lot.
Emily looks down, her heart racing as she musters up the courage to continue.
"I-I know this might be weird, but... I was wondering if maybe we could, like, grab coffee sometime? Or something?"
Oh? That's very kind of you. You know I have been teaching here for many years right?
"Y-yeah, I know," Emily replies, fiddling with her fingers. "You're a really good teacher. But it's not just that. I also... I also really admire you as a person. I mean, you're smart, and kind, and handsome..."
Oh? That's very kind of you. Is there something specific that you admire about me?
Emily bites her lip nervously, trying to find the right words.
"Well, y-you're just... really smart, and you explain things in a way that's easy to understand. And you're always so patient and kind with us students. It's really impressive."
I chuckle lightly well thank you. That means a lot coming from such a beautiful young lady like yourself.
Emily blushes even more at your compliment, her heart fluttering in her chest.
"T-thank you, Professor. Y-you always know how to make me feel special."
She fidgets nervously with her fingers, gathering up the courage to say what's on her mind.
"Thank you. That's very kind of you." I reply blushing slightly
Emily's heart skips a beat as she notices your blush, feeling both encouraged and embarrassed by your response.
"I-I mean it," she continues, trying to steady her voice. "Y-you're an amazing teacher, and y-you've helped me so much this year..."
