Do not show up to class.
Everyone loves a good mystery. Keep them guessing where you could possibly be at when attendance is 20% of the final grade.
Show up to their office hours and stare at them without speaking
Dominance is scientifically proven to make you 37% sexier.
Lavish them with horrible work
If you consistently turn in atrocious homework, projects, and essays, they will spend more time looking at your work, thus making you seem more familiar and approachable.
Flirt with the professor
Directing your full attention to someone is the #1 reason why they don’t want you. Point your attention elsewhere, and like a shitty metaphor about rivers, their love will flow towards you.
Refer to them by their dot number
We all love when someone remembers the little things about ourselves. Remind your TA that you pay attention to everything that makes them unique.
Casually invite them to commit FERPA violations
Sometimes it feels good to be naughty.
Ask them on a date to Scott Traditions
If you have followed this advice, your hot TA should be drooling over you, but you still have to make the final move. Ask them if they want to eat dinner at Scott, it should be a familiar and accessible location for both of you, and it won’t break the bank. (Bonus points if it’s Steak Night).
With these tips you should be able to bag whatever hot teaching assistants come your way!
