I Can’t Date My Student… Can I? - Ch. 11.1

[gmanhunt]

To jail!
Specifically horny jail

 

[JackWasGone]

The advice about the relationship is pretty sound, but telling your friend they're "messed up" for getting horny feels a little mean, especially since it probably took a lot of courage to say all that.

I mean she's a teacher who's getting off to the idea of a younger student. That's why she called her "messed up". I don't really understand how that's mean

jeeeeeeeeez best friend chill a little, you re right, but chill that one was a fatal blow

 

[curvedtree]

We are back, baby, and it is so good. We have a new hottie, she is smart, she is honest, I can't wait to see what she will bring to the table.

 

[Marrro90123]

In for a match with Kendrick

 

[Yaboyhg80]

Yup, that's a good friend

 

[Knighto]

No no the friend is onto something but kinda off of it too. You can be direct without being cruel and calling her “messed up” is a bit on the cruel side: Clearly she's a woman with little experience and no serious passionate suitors until later in life so her reaction is not unexpected.
That also means that it is difficult to sort through her feelings of what is “just animal” versus what is “honest founded emotion” since she literally never has before. Yes, she needs to analyze the situation and recognize that going further fueled only by the heat of the moment could lead to actual damage for both involved BUT it’s not some malformed shameful response to the situation that she should view as some foundational problem within herself.

Really hoping the friend has some nuance to her next couple of sentences, otherwise it’s like calling a person “messed up” for salivating over veal when they’ve only eaten gruel their entire life. She just needs to realize that there is STEAK out there, come on!

we're in the part 1 of chapter, so maybe the friend will go further on why she was so harsh.

Your point is certainly good, but just 2 things.
1. The veal is a not only younger than her, but a HS student, so there's issues with that specially since her apetite awoke to youngsters (not necessarily that, it could be just because how her friend took what they were talking om the phone).
2. She's her best friend, we can assume they have known each other for several years and knows that even if she knew steak was available always choose the gruel for a long time, so she's close enough to not beat around the bush and also get worried about her friend sudden change in attitude.

But again, your point prevails that she should analyze the situation and that she shouldn't be ashamed of wanting to try something new, but not in the way she was moving, the friend said it herself if the boy would have let himself fully go she could have been r*ped (in the moment when they got stopped and she realized it was going to far).

'messed up' is nasty wording. everyone becomes an animal during arousal.

 

[NeloDante]

wut? she's her friend she wants whats best for her, that's why she actually says first that she should do what she wants (if she actually likes the boy), but then throws her the horny bonk because besides her dad being a nuisance for the possibility of a relationship with an age gap, she's lusting for a boy (in HS still) that clearly likes her, so besides getting in problems for that, she's gonna mess with the boy. Specially since what the friend throw the horny bonk was for lusting for someone younger not neccesarily that boy.

Her friend wants what's best for our FL except it's all from her point of view, she is not thinking what's best for FL within her vision.
You keep forgetting, the one that has been trying FOR YEARS is the boy, not her. Giving in this time when he is finally an adult is not going to mess him up, if something negative would happen from this BOTH of them would LEARN from this event. You know, something that is helpful in life.

FL has stated that she never felt this with any other person, sure you can attribute this to lust - but this means that she has never felt this either with anyone else. What is love without lust? Both emotions are very close to each other and it is love that drives many more emotions. By what we have seen, he loves her already and she started to feel something for him besides lust - it's just that once again, she never felt one neither the other and actually doing the deed would greatly help her to put two and two together.
People might look at her weird because she's in a relationship with someone much younger than her, but it is him who wanted this and noone should have any kind of power in the relationship of two adults.

welp,

I guess this is why that other fuckboy she's with in the future chapters is in the picture. I wonder if she'll let that guy hit to see if there's a difference in feeling between the student and the fuckboy..

wait wut??
more info please... is there a novel of this? or just the raw are really far from this?

 

[Kimochi-kun]

Glad the friend didn't sugarcoat anything and goes right for the critical.

It's necessary

 

[Arin-san]

HOLY FUCKING TWISTS AND TURNS

REALITY CHECK ON MY JAPANESE COMIC? OH HELL NAW

Just when I thought it was going to be another generic rom-com, they threw a curveball. I'd like to see how this manga actually handles the complex dilemma. I hope it doesn't just throw it away randomly and instead does something with it.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

I don't have more info or full context. My info come from random pages the author post on twitter of things that gonna happen in future chapters. We were discussing this in another discussion thread. Like one of the pages is her suddenly meeting up with this fuckboy looking dude on what looks like a date. This chapter explains a little why she's probably doing it. Her friend roasted the shit outta her and she's probably trying to course correct outta the "weird" territory from the student.

I know it's not technically that, but it will start some NTR alert when it happens, and it's actually a fuckboi? like srsly the author is gonna go with that route🤔

btw is your name for the Phil Collins song??

I had to think a little bit to get my thoughts on this straight, because you're right that what she did is wrong or at best pretty borderline. I think, however, it is pretty mean to straight up tell someone you're friends with that they're messed up or a deviant or whatever is being implied here. There are more tactful ways to discuss this situation, especially when the person in question is being honest and vulnerable, and is also clearly pretty confused about the whole thing. So yeah, her friend isn't wrong, it's just that the situation is delicate enough that brutal honesty here is probably more brutal than it needs to be.

 

[Fluctlight]

i mean this lady has been a virgin for 30+ years, obviously a few mental ailments are in order

Spoiler: spoils

I don't know for sure of his personalty since it's only a couple pages. He gives off the aura as one and has that look. He also did try to hold her hand right off the bat in a flirty way. It flustered her but she did smack his hand away.

And yes, it's the Phil Collins song

 

[KuroeNekumi]

The way she is wording it really doesn't leave anything else to say. And if that's the case, telling her "you're messed up" definitely is a very needed cold-water bucket to snap her out of whatever is making her unable to even try and engage with it at any other level.

Because let's be honest, if she doesn't even want to consider liking him as a person because he's too young, the only thing that CAN be left to make her attracted is sheer lust for him (whether it is his body or being someone younger feeling attraction towards her).

And all in all, do either of them even know each other all that well? They should try to at least do stuff together, besides "doing each other", if either of them want an actual relationship and not just have sex.
