One of my professors seems really uncomfortable talking to me

and it makes me uncomfortable, in turn.

We have design critique sessions and one-on-one help time, and he spends about 1/4 the amount of time talking to me that he does everyone else (and I need all the help I can get, in a graphic design software class.)

When I talk to him, he looks really uncomfortable, although he's very nice and always answers my questions. He can't seem to handle looking at me; his eyes dart around all over the place, and it's unnerving.

It's awkward and annoying, and I end up having to bug the graphic design majors in class for help, to avoid making the professor seem so uncomfortable.

It's really weird and I'm glad I only have a few weeks of the class left.

:yoiks:

Thank you for that!

:puke:
:rofl:

:) It happens.

only dorkier.

Without further evidence, I'd guess he's intimidated by:

•your tallness

•your hawtness

•some combination of the two

He is unequivocally one of the most awkward adult men I have ever encountered; it's painful to watch him teach, and even more painful to have to talk to him when acts so weird.

For some reason, I find this rather interesting. I want to dissect the guy's brain.

Do you know how long he's been teaching?

More examples... hmmm...

He did a PowerPoint presentation for the class, in the "character" of Abraham Lincoln, who, apparently, has a very garbled, high-pitched voice. It was painful to watch.

He slumps around and shrugs alot. Never takes his coat off, asked me about my husband/ how he was doing (following his stroke), and grinned the entire time I was explaining the debacle.

He's very, very nice, and I think he tries to get along well and be funny, but he laughs like a braying donkey at the DUMBEST things, makes AWFUL jokes, and seems rather socially inept.

Not to that class, anyway.
It's not the boots!
:rofl:

Glad you don't have to deal with him much longer.
