writes: Hi, I am 28 years old and a single parent looking after my 4 year old daughter. In September this year my daughter started school and I am attracted to her teacher but I am not sure if she is single, although I do know she is not married. I do not know if she likes me because I am not very good at reading the signals. As you could probably understand that if I asked her out on a date and she was not interested I would look rather stupid especially as my daughter will be at that school for the next 7 years. Last week it was my daughters school disco. I was sat at the side of the school hall when I noticed my daughters teacher bouncing her on her knee so I went and sat next to them. The teacher gave my daughter a chocolate and said to her "just remember I like chocolates". I did not know if she was dropping hints to me so after the weekend I sent my daughter into school with a box of chocolates. That evening (today) her teacher came over to me and told me she had been in some trouble. Whilst we were talking I asked her if she "had got her christmas present from my daughter. In otherwords I bottled it telling her that they were from me. What do you think I should do? Do I drop subbtle hints to find out if she is single or do I just come out and ask her or do I not risk it because she is my daughters teacher? It is even more difficult because after splitting up from my daughters mother I went through a three and a half year legal battle to get residebcy of my daughter and vowed never to have a relationship again. However last year I got together with someone and we split up after 7 months and I have been single since October of last year and vowed to stay single not just because I seem to pick the wrong person but because I am not very good with relationships. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Yes, ask her out otherwise you will be tortured by this forever. If your daughter was older and at the state where EVERYTHING embaresses her, it would be different.
