Is it normal to be inlove with your teacher(same sex)?

I am a 18 year old female student, in high school. Since grade 10 i've been crushing on my business studies teacher. She has helped me with some personal problems, like when my mother and father got divorced. I find it easy to talk to her about those problems, but my heart still races every time we speak.

I have her number and we have communicated a few times,(still do) but then it will be regarding the school work or when she is sick, she will ask me to give the class work, or whatever. I don't know what's going to happen when I leave school at the end of this year.(2012)

The problem however is that I cannot stop thinking about her, I can't even sleep. I paint pictures of us together and keep making up little stories/dreams in my head. I once (we were alone) almost grabbed her to kiss her, but I knew that it wouldn't be appropriate. When we are in class and she will be busy discussing the work--I cannot stop starring at her, from head to toe.(LITERALLY)

I don't know if I should tell her how I feel or not, cause I don't know if she feels the same.(oh by the way she's 26.) But, we will be sitting in class and she will randomly wink at me or sometimes I even get a hug. Which races my heart even more.

I also have another problem, I think my friends may be noticing this and I am unsure whether I should tell them too?

    Okay so this is totally understandable. Your 18 so your old enough to have a relationship with someone that age, don't bring it up to her though. At least not yet. If you bring it up and she doesn't feel the same it could be really awkward in class. Also you might just feel this way because she's helped you so much in your life with issues, so you might think you love her because of this. You trust her for this, so this might be causing your attractions. But also you could just really love her for her, and give it time. Wait till she makes a move within the next couple of months, but unless she makes it obvious or tells you she has feelings for you don't tell her straight out, but maybe give some clues.

    Hiya,

    That only happens to me every couple of years. I put one of mine into a story –- no, not that type!!

    Even if she does feel the same way, which is unlikely, she can't do anything about it because she's not allowed. Perhaps you could change to a different course. I changed mine halfway through to do some more creative stuff but I hated it – the course I did beforehand, not the creative one. She might leave soon. Problem solved.

    As for your friends, I’d say don't tell them; you're just setting yourself up for teasing.

    If you're really in love with her and want to confess your feelings to her, you should wait till after graduation. Luckily, you're eighteen, of legal age, but you're still a student, and she could still get in trouble if the two of you ever started anything. So I suggest you wait till graduation if you want to confess your feelings.

    As for your friends... eh, I don't know about that one.
