Something They Didn't Teach Me at TEFL

Among other things, what to do when you get this text message, as I did about an hour ago:
Hello teacher im your student I have a truth that i want to tell u Do you have any girlfriend? Hope no coz i love you really Let me know your feelings
I don't even know who the student is. I only gave out my cell number in the first place in case the students had any questions on the upcoming exam.

In any case, it's a dangerous situation on a number of levels. I'll have to defuse it carefully.

That's hilarious. I mean, it's weird and kinda creepy, but also pretty funny. I want to hear how it turns out...

You would be surprise to know that many relationships begin which such text messages.

If you take the trouble to find out the sender then you have reciprocate the signal of interest. If the sender is not taunting you then badabum you have a relationship. If you ignore it then the situation defuses by itself.

But then what do I know, I have not spend my dating/relationship years in VN.
