writes: I would really like to ask this woman out, but I am hesitating because of the circumstances. I am a teacher at a martial arts academy, and she is the single mom of one of my students. There are a lot of teachers at the academy, so it's not like I'm the primary contact for her or her son there. I am sure that she's interested, we pretty much have been staring and smiling at each other for months now. She seems pretty shy so I don't want to wait for her to make a move...and I feel like as the guy I should be the one to do it. I just don't want to seem inappropriate. Any suggestions here? Should I just leave this alone or go for it?

Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (16 August 2006): Talk to the owner/manager/head instructor of your academy first to see if there are any rules or guidelines that would allow you from dating said attractive, single mom.
If there are no such restrictions, go up to said attractive, singel mom and start a conversation. See how she and her child respond to this.
Ask her kindly if she would be up for a movie or dinner with or without kidlet.
Take it slow.
Just know that she is wondering:
What are your intentions with said Mom? Longterm?
What you should be prepared for:
Are you prepared for the longterm? What will it look like?
If you think longterm is a possible outcome; I suggest reading a book:
One) Re-married With Children~Ten Secrets for Successfully Blending and Extending Your Family by Barbara LeBey
This book will offer you insight into how it could "look" and what you can do.
I don't mean to scare you off and I am sure I may have. Consider it homework/research.
Other than that; let us know how the first date went.
*wink*
Good luck.
