Ok everyone, I hope I get some advice on this one. I am a tennis coach at a University. I am 26 years old. One of my female tennis players is 25. She is graduating in about 3 weeks. I posted about this before about a month ago or so. but things have changed. I did not ask her to be together or anything. I decided to wait it out. Anyways, I still truly think that we are both attracted to one another. Im not good with picking up vibes and i have to be honest am a little down on myself. I think "how can she be intrested in someone like me" as oppose to "is she is intrested in me". Many tell me they dont understand why and I never knwo what to say. Anyways, like a week ago we got to talking about our plans for the summer, she was telling me how she had no plans, i told her that if she needed a job I could get her one where i am working. She asked, yea but where will I stay....I didnt answer that right away(days later) we got to talking about it again and I just went for it and said she could stay where I was going to stay. She was all for it. This made me really happy as now we might become something more than just friends since she wont be on the tennis team anymore. How do you guys think I should handle things over the summer, ive only told two of my close friends that I am intrested in this girl. And ive only really told one the whole story and he suggested i take it slow, becouse thats the way I am, he said that if i rush things it wont work becouse thats not who I am, and that anyone whom knows me for even a day would know that it is not me. Im intrested in seeing what other have to say. Any advice would be welcomed. If you needed more on this story just let me know and ill post what I can.

What's the problem? Is it that she's a student now, but won't be when the summer comes? Do you feel conflicted as if it's the right thing to do?

Let's say you were coach of another team and ya'll met up at a bar or party. Would you still be attracted to her? It's fine, do what your friends suggest, take it slow. Don't do anything outside of your comfort zone.

Yes i am very attracted to her and I think I would be no matter hoe we meet. Although im glad we meet this way becouse to be honest I dont think I would have had the guts to talk to her in any other situation. She is a student now but wont be once the summer comes so i dont see that as a problem.
