“Biased” in this sense means “favors”.

I think she means, should she stay in touch with the old teacher or since she broke up with the teacher’s son, is she no longer allowed to keep in touch with her.

i want to go to a concert with my brother & old art teacher
but a couple months ago i ‘dated’ her son & we broke up
at my 8th grade promotion..she told me she was biased (towards me)
what exactly does that mean??
also i dont know if i should email or call her to talk cuz it would be awkward if her son saw or heard from me..

I think at 13 or so, if you had emailed the teacher regularly before you dated her son or even when you were dating him and she responded, emailing her would be okay. Teachers like to be mentors, but school boards have rules sometimes…I would email her to tell her about the concert if you really believe it would interest her. I could almost see myself at that age, trying to use that as a ploy to keep in touch with the son in a way. If you go to the concert and they are there, you could just talk about your summer plans, if you have a real interest in art, keeping in touch with her would really mean alot to her.

In the 8th grade, my teacher showed us self portraits of students who had kept in touch an went off to college–one girl had become a medical doctor–he looked as proud as a father would talking about his own daughter.

When I was in my twenties, I really wanted to stay in touch with the mother of a fellow I had dated. At that age I thought it would be too awkward if he started seeing a new girl and I did not want to make it awkward for her, even though she did not exist yet.

Yeah, at 13, I think it is okay, but see how she responds to your email telling her about the concert–I don’t think I would ask about going together until I had heard back from her–just send her a link about the concert.

Go with the email then, and include your number. Phone calls ARE easier if they are incomming and the caller has to take the lead in the conversation. Best of luck!

Well, I agree the ex’s opinion shouldn’t count, but, gtrts7, what do you think your ex’s feelings will be?

Don’t base your advice on sitcoms, think more like, “What would Oprah do?”

I have been divorced for over a year and I am still in touch with my ex-wife’s mother. She and I created a great friendship when I was married to her daughter, and even though my ex-wife and I have not talked in over a year, her mother is still a great friend and source of support for me. I don’t think it is a problem as long as you don’t let one relationship influence the other.

i have to say tht it is not wrong to keep in touch at all i think if he cares about you and wants to make you happy (i think i have just described a relationship) but anyway if he makes u happy stay in contact reply back if there is anythin else
