CRINGE?!?
Can I Date My Kid’s Teacher?

Our advice column Ask A MWLTF — yes, that’s Mother Who Likes to F*ck — is back! And this time, Penelope is navigating a bit of a doozy: What if the one decent guy you can find to date, in this cursed age of apps, is your kid’s teacher?

“Just when I’d given up, I ran into my son’s eighth grade teacher at a coffee shop. We started chatting, first about school, then about a bunch of things that had nothing to do with school. I felt a real connection, but figured nothing would come of it. Then I ran into him at the same place the next weekend, and once again ended up talking for hours. What can I say? I’m smitten, and I sense the feeling is mutual,” says our letter writer.

It’s a tricky one, but Penelope has a clear answer.
