Hillson, I think i'll refrain from posting the staff roster. I think if she does find out i don't want her blow things out of proportion, or tell her (maybe) rigger bf/husband, or make her lose her professional composure by thinking "oh my god, i have a student stalker". I hope that makes sense. If anything I jump out of the Western region of the united states

+1 Must be a good listener!

Might want to make sure she's not the wife/girlfriend of the local rigger first as well. I agree. I dont even know if she's attached atm and i wouldn't want to overstep those bounds..especially if the one she's attached to is a rigger, rigging my 'chute until I can pack by myself, right?

Wait til you have a license and are no longer are a student. Gender doesn't matter a whit here, it's a learning thing. You'll listen better to someone you are not going out with, that's just the way it is. It sets up an awkward vibe when a student (as in pre A license) is dating one of the staff. Consider it incentive to get your A quickly

Theoretically, if i were to kiss her in freefall or before we exit the plane, would she fail me for that jump?

I'll probably ask her out at some point after my AFF class. I dig her personality, looks, and attitude but i think if i have feelings for her it might distract me and i can miss some key information/lesson she is trying to explain (considering if i have her again as an instructor). Wait a sec, is it true that i would have to wait (figuratively speaking of course)? There's no way it can be that easy is it? I know it's premature, but if i were to go out with her i think it'd be for the long haul instead of a one nite stand kind of thing.

Some DZ's have rules against it. Mostly cause it's typically going the other way, male instructor trying to sleep with impressionable girl students. Also, heh - reality check here. If you're a dude, in an AFF class, with almost no jumping experience and no time around the sport - you are gonna have to be exceptionally amazing as a person in personality, looks or both to get her attention. It's like 2:1 dudes to chicks (or worse) on a dropzone, she likely has more attention than she knows what to do with. That said, hey - you never know if you don't ask right?

what's going on skydiving friends and community! AFF class is going very well this summer! Usually on every AFF level i've had different instructors. But, a few weeks ago I was paired with a female instructor...and i think i have a huge crush on her. All throughout the ground course i couldn't make eye contact (cuz i'm generally a shy person). And everytime she'd get close to me my heart would start to beat really fast. Is it ok for a student to ask their instructors out? Any way i can approach her to even ask her out? I know it's not really skydiving related but i'm hoping the skydiving community can help out. Salude!
