not rly gender related but this is one of the chiller communities
as a lab TA how do i know if my students like me?
i want them to like me
(i'm a woman and only like 2 years older than most of them)
In the same position and honestly my scale is so they laugh at my dumb jokes

If they can come to you on numerous occasions then thats a sign

mutual respect is a biiiiiggggg one, have it for every student until the possibility it may be broken. also not being pretentious or having an ego because you’re in a position of power is nice too, and a sense of humor is great

Do they ever just chat with you? Or is it all professional? I could always tell my students liked me based on the way they engaged with me
