Long story short - I (26f) am having my first date tomorrow with this amazing woman (38f). We have known each other now for about two and a half years. The circumstances under which we met are quite taboo - she was my lecturer at university for my final few months. She also graded my thesis. But nothing happened while I was under her instruction.
I graduated 18 months ago and we have since developed a close friendship (but nothing sexual). After I graduated I got in touch with her about some career related stuff - we ended up grabbing coffee then gradually hanging out more and more frequently. It became obvious there was a connection there, and eventually, after being good friends for several months, I worked up the courage to ask her out (I did it on a phone call because I was too nervous to look her in the eye...) but she said yes, and said she wanted to ask me out too, but was scared because she is still a lecturer and was worried it would somehow get her in trouble. We've since spoken about the whole lecturer/student thing and decided it doesn't actually matter - we are both consenting adults and I graduated quite a while ago. She is 12 years older than me - I know that's also a bit taboo - but I don't care. She's the most awesome person and we really have a spark that's quite indescribable. We are both female and both bisexual. At first I thought she might be straight, but she's not! Hooray!
So tomorrow I'm cooking dinner and we're having some wine and watching a movie under a blanket at my place. Since we're already close friends it doesn't feel weird having our first date in the house - in fact, it feels more natural than going out for dinner. I'm nervous, because I haven't liked someone this much in a very long time. But wish me luck!
