I just started going to church with my grandma on Sundays two weeks ago. The first week I went, I was sitting in the pew and looked over and saw my english teacher. I about died. She is not one of my favorite teachers but shes not evil or anything. I hoped she wouldn't see me but after church she came over and talked to me. She said "You lucky girl! You get to see me six days this week!" Then she gave me a hug. I was thinking O yeah, lucky me! And what with the hugs? She doesn't do that at school! Anyway the second week I pretended like I didn't see her and did't tallk to her. The last thing I want to do is see my teacher on the weekend. I know I am going to have to get used to her being there but how should I act. Should I pretend I don't see her every week or do I go and tell her hi. I don't want to be rude but I don't really want to just go up and give her a hug every week. What do I do? This is REALLY awkward.

It doesn't hurt to say hi to her. You are worrying about nothing. It isn't like you are having tea and cookies every weekend. You should be happy your teacher even acknowledged you. Shows that she cares. Just say hi to her and go about your business.

Just tell her hi from a distance if you spot her, give a little wave and smile or something and then look away. She's at church to share a joyful or loving community type experience, maybe; don't take it personally, just try to focus on why you are at church too. She must have already figured out you aren't open to being hugged since she didn't do it twice, right? If she tries to get touchy feely with you, you give her your coldest body language -- but don't get too freaked. She ought to be able to understand that you don't want to treat her like family or anything like that. If not, you can just tell her - please don't touch me, I'm not comfortable with that. and then change the subject, great sermon eh blah blah

I would just wave from a distance or just say hey, but don't ignore her that could cause problems with you in the future considerin she is giving you grades in class. You have to be careful not to offend her, yet you don't want to get too personal with her either. I would make sure that I did not look like i was avoiding her, but i would still try not to have a long conversation with her, but still be nice at the same time.
