I Think My Student is GAY

First and foremost, I do not have any low opinions about people's gender preferences. At this very moment, the professional, married, male student just asked me to open my video while he is having his meeting. Since he started to have online classes with me, his actions are becoming sweeter and sweeter. I just let him be inspired by my presence. We are supposed to be having a class today. Now, I just mute my video and let him watch me. I cannot see him and feel like in an aquarium virtually. When was the last time you felt flattered by someone? Do you feel conscious about being watched by someone intentionally or unintentionally? Image Credit: spycatchersllc.com

@rakski As for me, my close friends are not in my country anymore. They are all working abroad. It is a lucky day if I can talk to them on Facebook messenger.

You are not doing the right thing, be professional and do not encourage your student.

I still act professionally with him. The reason why I have to give in to this situation because it's the company's likings. I cannot cancel classes online. It is only students who can only do this.

@LadyDuck He is at the meeting. Perhaps he doesn't want his colleagues to see me at that time.

@Shavkat I am not saying to cancel classes but I see no reason why he should be allowed to look at you if there is not a lesson.

You really should not encourage him in any way.

Don't be worried. He knew that our relationship is a professional one. One thing for sure, I cannot drop the lesson online since it is forbidden and the company will call my attention.

You should not be encouraging it. First, it's not professional. Second it's only your guess that he might be gay but you are not sure. And last if he is so, he should not go ahead with such things . He might be upset later.

I can be sure that he is gay. The way he speaks and acts during the class sessions. He tends to be clingy and I am not comfortable with it. I still do maintain professionalism despite having this situation.

@Shavkat Well, those can be misleading hints too. We have such prejudices. I know gays who don't have anything different... I mean accent, way of talking or dressing etc. So unless he admits it, it might not be true.

Ofcourse i feel conscious if someone is watching me unintentionally of course. It would be better if he open his video too.

I agree. I always felt bad because virtual teachers cannot close their videos. Eventually, I just ignore it since we are using the company's software.

Don't assume nor encourage it. It's important to be professional. Gay or not, unless he say it, just pretend you're clueless.

I always ignore this kind of actuation. Don't worry. I professionally handled him.

Difficult to say what to do properly as I don´t know him or you really. I had a guy chasing me when I was giving him English Classes and I decided to leave it .

The last time I was flattered by someone was recently a friend of mine and my boyfriend told me I looked good for my age.
