Here are 10 reasons not to date a girl who teaches:


1. "Sunday Sads:" Anyone who knows a teacher, knows the pain of last-minute Sunday planning. She will question, "Why did I not start sooner?" Your job is to listen to her hysterical ranting and leave her to do her planning in peace!

2. Holidays galore: If you have a "normal" job then you'll have to put up with the other extreme of when she's on holidays, completely relaxed and you've still got to work. If she ever mentions not having enough time off, do not, I repeat, do NOT, under any circumstances mention the amount of holidays she has! It won't end well

3. Friday nights: Once your girl manages to crawl home after school on Friday, completely devoid of any energy, she will do one of the following: 1. Be sensible and have a nap then enjoy a Friday night with you or 2. Kid herself into thinking she has an energy reserve that the children haven't tapped into and end up falling asleep on you as you watch a movie or going out and yawning her way through the night.

4. You'll be subjected to children's songs: Every now and then, a song that she has been teaching the children will get stuck in her head and you will hear it on repeat for the weekend. There is no known cure for this phenomenon. Just try not to let it get to you too!

5. Romantic shopping trips won't happen: So you two want to have a nice stroll through the streets and do a bit of window shopping? Take heed. Anywhere that sells stationery or craft materials, discount stores and bookshops may lead to the loss of your girlfriend for several hours.

6. You can't throw anything away: Teachers tend to be hoarders. You might think you're doing some good in the world by putting that cardboard roll in the recycling bin. But your girlfriend doesn't see it as just a mere cardboard roll. To her it's a Halloween decoration, a flower, an angel, a car, a fish.... Living with a teacher often means keeping several piles of rubbish for months on end.

7. You may become her personal cutting and laminating service: Don't reveal your skills with a scissors. This may result in spending your weekend cutting things out, laminating them and, wait for it, CUTTING THEM OUT AGAIN!

8. She will never admit to being sick: This will drive you mad! Teachers suffer from the exact opposite of manflu. Sneezing every 3 seconds? Nah! It's nothing!

9: People will ask you how many kids you have: as she refers to her class as "my kids" even in social situations.

10. She might suddenly get jumpy and drag you away when she sees one of her students out and about.
