Crushing on a teacher

78% Normal
7 Comments

Lately, this has been really bugging me. I have a terrible crush on one of my teachers. He's about 9-10 years older than me. I don't understand why I feel this way, especially because I barely know him as a person outside his profession.

And no, this is not superficial. He isn't what people would call good looking. In fact, my other classmates don't like him.

I feel my heart skip whenever he is talking in class, and turns to me and smiles. I feel really happy when he picks me out for good work done.

And, I think this is just my imagination, but he seems to like to stand closer to the front, near me, whenever I pick a front row seat. When I don't, he tends to linger around the board or his desk.

At the same time, I feel terrible whenever he commends another person's answer instead of mine.

Our campus is really big, so we barely pass each other in corridors. Once, we did though. I smiled to him and he smiled back.. Then, abruptly, he turned away and quickly strode off in the other direction.

Are these feelings normal? Is there any way I can stop them? I don't want them to affect my studies...

    all crushes are superficial. that's just the way it is.

    if you are in college, and over the age of 21, then i suppose there's nothing wrong with pursuing this person, though i doubt it will come to anything.

    if you aren't, then leave him alone. he'll lose his job for starters.

    Totally normal. Actually I still have a crush on my Grade 13 (yes we had 13 grades back then) English teacher, and that was over 20 years ago. I would love to see her again, even though I realize what her age would be now.

    it's a pretty much taboo relationship in the society, but since there's so many of them i clicked normal.
    well our whole world is wide, we are free to love whoever we want.
    but since you dont want this to affect your studies, i think you should resolve this 'feeling' about your teacher (seems like he likes you too.), and maybe talk about going out after graduation? i know it seems like a long time but it seems like a pretty appropriate idea.
