Dear Panel,

I'm a bit confused. At my college, I have become good friends with my teacher(he's 32). We talk often, and he walks me to class.I work on campus, and he has started to turn up where I work, asking "Oh, you work here?" At one point he has told me that I remind him of Josephine Baker, and that he found me interesting.

I want to ask him out(he is single), but I'm very new to all of this dating stuff(a late bloomer at 25). I'm not even sure if he's attracted to me, but I think he might be.

I suppose my query is: How should I go about this? Should I let him know how I feel, or wait for him to say something? The semester is almost over and time is running out!

A very Confused Damsel
