You say that your marriage just ended so I would probably not jump from the frying pan into the fire so quickly. Give yourself some time to be alone and think about how you can better yourself for your next relationship. This student is only 18 and she probably doesnt really know what she wants in life yet. If you really care for her then let her mature and experience her young life. It would be tragic for you to pull this young women into something that might fail anyways because of your age differences and experience levels. There are some very good dating sites out there so maybe you can find someone who may even has went through what you are going through and closewr to your age. Im not judging you but if my 18 yr old daughter was seeing a divorced/separated 40 yr old man then I would try very hard to discourage it from going any further. She is after all, young enough to be your daughter. Dont pluck a beautiful flower out of the ground before its time. Its just not right. Good Luck in the future and concentrate on your career if you value it.

Is it normal to fall in love with a former student?
