I'm meeting with my honours thesis professor next week to get some advice about grad school and future plans. Ideally, I would want to be in his lab as a masters student as I want to be doing what he is doing one day. Would I be overstepping any boundary by asking him if he would be willing to supervise me? How would I even go about asking that in a respectful way? Also, what are some signs that this is a dead end and he is not interested in taking me on as a masters student?
He supervised me a year ago for my honours thesis project so we have gotten to know each other somewhat well. I guess part of it is that I'm nervous/scared to ask such a request. I barely managed get myself to send an email to ask to meet up regarding future plans. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
