| 1) I never would date someone that I had any "business" with. Whether they were someone so close and one on one as a tutor, or even someone that worked at the same place as me and I had to see every day. Reasons you ask? How's this for a few . . .
What happens if something goes wrong and the relationship doesn't work out? Will he still tutor you without bias? If he leaves, can you find a replacement for the same price fairly quickly? If you guys are in a relationship, he might try to turn "tutor time" into "personal time". Can you afford to do that? Will it annoy you? Will you annoy him if you keep telling him, "listen, I have to get this done. We can kiss and hug later"? If he doesn't get the message, can you find a replacement? Will he get offended if you need to find a replacement? Just a couple small questions that, over long periods of time, could prove to be big things.
2) Then he's cheating. I'll type out three scenarios here for you.
a) If you don't mind that he's cheating on her with you, then go ahead. But don't be offended/surprised when he decides to spend time with his girlfriend. Or if he decides to cheat on you as well with another girl. If you think it's 'ok' to date him and have fun away from his girl, don't think that he won't do it to you. You're just as fair game as his girlfriend.
b) If you want to keep the relationship moral and truthful, tell him you won't go out with him or respond to his flirting until he breaks up with his girlfriend. It's the honest thing to do. He does it, and you can begin dating him and getting to know and find out if he's relationship worthy or not.
c) You tell him to break up with his girlfriend, and he pretends to do so and tells you, "I did last night. For you." you have no way of knowing whether he is lying or not. Unless you can figure out a way. AKA you listen to a phone conversation between him and her with him breaking it off or something like that. But if he lies, then he's cheating on her with you. You're the "other woman". And you won't know cause she's in England and all he needs to do to keep her led on is a letter here and there. All the while using you. And then he tells you, "My family and I are going on vacation for a few weeks," when in reality, he's either going there, or she's coming here and he used an excuse so that you won't worry that he's not spending time with you (cause he'll be spending time with her).
Think about at least those scenarios. Then make a decision.

PS - In my eyes, he's already proven himself unfaithful cause if he has a girlfriend, he shouldn't be feeding you lines trying to butter you up and gain your interest. He's already being unfaithful to her. When I'm in a relationship, sure I think girls are cute, but I don't act on it because it's wrong to do. He has already sent you emails talking you up and told you how he "cant get you out of his head". So in my eyes, he's already a cheater or at least has the mind of one and would probably cheat if he could. |
