I was reading the situation as saying that the potential datee is really out of academia entirely...and I forgot that we sometimes write nonacademic recommendation letters. It seems clear that in this situation the best solution is simply not to write letters for someone you have dated. If you taught that person one course, that really should not be a problem. | |

| May 22, 2016 at 19:59 | comment | added | yo' | Point 3 is important. I know people who started dating their student, or even getting into marriage with them, and that's fine here. And then I know people who've been dating almost 10 students in the past years, and that's not fine to anybody (but the students who get good grades and easy work...) | |
