Robin Has Been Co-Writing a Paper with Her Instructor Who

Robin has been co-writing a paper with her instructor who has a high public profile for his work.They've built a good rapport, and he seems to respect her research and input on the paper.During their last session, he asked that she call him by his first name and suggested they meet up for coffee for their next update with each other.Robin felt good about this because it made her feel more on his level as a colleague versus a student.Her roommate warned her it is not appropriate she be calling him by his first name and said she should be vigilant in working with him to avoid the possibility of date rape.Robin's intuition is that he is not interested in her romantically and plans to continue building their working rapport.She should trust her intuition.
