One of my friends is taking the course I'm TAing. Originally she was in a different class, but she moved into mine cause the TA of the other class was someone she didn't like. I'm responsible for teaching during class, as well as grading homework that counts as a barrier to taking the final exam.

Since then, she's starting sucking up to me so much. She'll overreact to pretty much everything I say, and act much more "larger than life" than she normally is. It's not that bad during class, but since we live close to one another she'll wait for me and get the same train home and it's exhausting.

Last year I TAed the same class and a different friend was in it. Literally nothing changed in our friendship. Why can't it be like that this time???

Hey man try not to take it so seriously. Embrace her new enjoyment for you albeit it's probably a facade. Whatever, enjoy the attention. Grade her fairly, get some drinks out of it if anything.

She's not unattractive but her new personality is off-putting

She used to be a lot cooler and that's the friend I want back

If you cant tell off a friend then who can you tell off?

But really, think about the situation in a general sense; if you were being annoying to a friend of yours you would probably want them to tell you, so you could stop. Assuming yall are actually friends, it should be a given that shell want to stop doing what is bothering you. If not then she doesnt care how you feel, or simply cares more about what you can give her.

I hold the title of friend highly, and actions speak louder than words

I don't like conflict >_>

I used to be the entitled friend until I realised just how much of a dick I was being. That's gone, but a side effect is that I don't really stand up for myself to friend much anymore

Are you positive its her wanting something from you (being the TA) and not her being into you? By being in a position of power, you may command more respect from her than you used to so she may see you in a diff light now, plus she seems to want to spend more time with you?

You remind me of the times when I knew who I was...

Fair enough, but that doesn't change the fact that her behaviour is rather off-putting

Plus there's the whole ethical angle to consider <_<

Like someone else says, she has no way of knowing you think shes annoying/exhausting tho. Thats how some girls express interest/flirt. Ask her about it.

Even as a professor, I never graded the work of someone I was friendly with outside of the class. Only happened maybe twice in 6 years. I'd rather farm out a paper to someone else to grade than have any conflict of interest or hurt feelings.
