We have a new sub and she's decided I'm her mentor, even when she's planning to sub for someone else. I guess she enjoyed taking over my class and did a fine job, but now it's awkward. In some ways I don't mind it but I've been putting off coffee with her a few times now and I just feel cringey. But she's not actually taking up a ton of time so it's hard to tell her to back off.

I would take that as a compliment. She must have seen something in your teaching or classroom that she liked and she must have a greater respect and admiration for you. Maybe asking her what ways you can help would work?

How do I politely decline that I’m not okay to make out in the first date or when the guy calls me over to his place after we meet/eat/drink?

I’m currently taking a complete break from dating (no one on the horizon, no hung up on an ex, no dating apps) in order to get back to being myself and figuring out what I want, and in that self reflection I’ve realized that I have met/dated so many people who think or say they are dating to find their person, but are really just filling some void or insecurity. I think we get so caught up in always needing to date to fill our short term loneliness that we stop thinking long term goals and needs
