Okay well the deed was done. Box of chocolates & a note Thank you for being my daughters favourite teacher & in the unlikely event of being single call/text me as I'd love to take you out to dinner. Failing that all the best in your new job. All in a carrier bag knotted up for privacy, delivered by a taxi driver... And then... Nothing... Boo Hoo... Either not interested, has a boyfriend, or both. Tell you what folks though if this helps, once the deed is done, the person is asked out, whether or not your rejected it gets rid of the knot in your stomach.

Oh what to do. Some of you are positive, some not. There's no way I can find out if she has a partner, not something you can just ask. I would have thought if she did she would throw the flowers away & not take them home, but yes everybody gossips & a delivery of some flowers is gonna attract attention & that is awkward. Maybe I should change it to chocolate? As to being awkward for my daughter, well she leaves the school for good tomorrow & I'd make sure the delivery wasn't until after school. The school is the only way I can do this though, whilst her address is in the phone book I would not approach that way, as I feel that's an invasion. Well only another 12 hours or so until I either walk into a taxi office & give them the items to deliver or I forget it & wonder...

Thanks all for your quick replies, typical guy I had no idea offering roses was a declaration of love, so I'll change the flowes to a pretty bunch that catches my eye at the florist. I would still appreciate any more comments as despite the fact that with a rejection I just won't see or hear from her & will probably never see her again I am still very nervous/shy about this. And this coming from a gobby 35 year young DJ!

Hi & thanks for reading this. I've fancied my daughters school teacher for around 2 years, did some parent helping in her class last year, but conversations were always with the class around, awkward in a school situation to really get chatting on a personal basis. Tomorrow is my daughters last day at this school, so I don't have to worry about losing face in the event of a rejection, would it be acceptable to have a bunch of roses sent to the school via courier/taxi, to arrive around 3.30 when schools finished, with a note stating "In the unlikely event of your being single, call or text me. Would love to take you out to dinner." Would the fact that a courier turns up with flowers for this one teacher, which would be left at the office no doubt, embarrass her with her colleagues? Would it be better to just send a letter addressed to her by the courier. And of course despite being a Ms I don't know if she has a partner. Is there a better way to approach this? Any advice from the ladies would be very useful, thanks.

Thanks for the replies guys. Problem is being a school there's never a chance to speak without loads of kids around, after school is the same with all the parent & I have my son with me so not really much oppurtunity to talk on a personal level. Now if I knew where she hung out I could do something, but I don't. So I'd appreciate any thoughts from anyone on doing this. Last day of term, present her with a wrapped box of chocolates from myself & son on the basis that thanks for teaching my son so well all year (cheesy I know!) Inside a little note requesting to get to know her better & my mobile number to send me atext if she fancies going out for dinner? Or is this a bottle job?

For a while I have fancied my sons school teacher but this has become more so of late. I am quite fussy about whom I like & she seems ideal to me. I have started helping in the class as my son wishes me to & I enjoy this & more contact with this teacher. I am totally unaware if she is single or not (no ring though) or if she might be interested. Obviously being my sons teacher I feel more awkward than normal in just approaching her in a quite moment. She does smile warmly at me in the morning & afternoons collections but this could just be down to the fact that I'm a volunteer parent helper. I shall look out for all the body language signs I can next time I see her but any advice anyone can offer me would be gratefully read.
