The Janitor
At my school most of the teachers have a very good rapport with the janitors. Partly because we are generally nice people, and partly because the janitors are extremely good friends to have (personally I have blown the power fuse in my room several times, this requires a janitor to go and reset some distant switch). That's why I was in a very difficult position when I was doing hall duty and one of the janitors dropped off this note:
In case you don't read Spanish, this is a very sweet note saying that he thinks I'm a nice, feminine lady. I left a sealed reply note in his box in the main office that said "Gracias :)"
A few days later, he walked by when I was on duty again. Hall duty is awful because you just have to sit there and shoo away students who are loitering in the halls. You can't really act busy because if you are reading a book or something you are not ON DUTY. So janitor comes up and says he has written two songs for me. I read them later and notice they are time-stamped around 1am the previous night. These are much more detailed and... romantic than the first.
Also, they have a lot of religious undertones.
So by now these are saying that God reunited us and he dreams about me a lot. So I start freaking out, wondering if I have to report this or something. The guy is super nice and I don't want to make the situation even more awkward.
In the end, I told him I like him a lot as a friend but don't really see him that way. We still say hi when we see each other in the halls. I also told my dept chair about the notes but didn't show them to her, just in case I was breaking some rule.
And that's how I broke up with the janitor.
