having a crush on your teacher/ professor (11)

1 Name: Secret Admirer : 2008-01-26 08:01 ID:cx4I9THn

i have a really big crush on my professor. i'm in college, and i am even taking another of his class just so i can see him more. i know this is not going to become anything, but i just can't help how i feel.

i have always considered myself to be a level-headed person, i've never really felt so strongly about anyone in my life, and when my friends would tell me about their boyfriends, i always thought that i would never feel so strongly about someone else. but now i am, and it is making me miserable, because this isn't just a regular crush, but the person i actually like is my teacher, and obviously nothing is gonna happen.

how do i get over this? i can't stop thinking about him. what about you guys? you ever had a crush on your teacher or professor? and did anything happen in the end?

please help. im miserable here.

Guy here, had a crush on a female teacher back when I was in high school (Australian school system, I was 17-18.) We'd flirt with each other, and we always knew when the other one was in the room/hall/whatever. She'd act as shy as a schoolgirl, really cute. I did confess my feelings to her, and she said 'no' when I offered her a gift. I felt good afterwards anyway, at the very least it was a liberating experience. Still, the flirting didn't stop until I graduated and I don't think I've seen her since.

My advice? It's not going to go anywhere. Just enjoy the ride for what it is, don't do anything inappropriate and you'll be fine.

Yeah, inappropriate would be the right word, and unnecessary. Well, you can try to see him after you graduate if you feel so strongly about him. Everyone has patience, I do, especially for love.

Never had a crush on a teacher, but I did have a really hot professor in college, and I'm giving serious consideration to going back to campus and hitting on her.
It's not sexual harassment if I'm not currently a student, right?

Sexual harassment has nothing to do with your relations to the other person.

ive had crush on my student. well strictly speaking, it wasnt me, but her. i was a teacher at a cram school, and my student whose age was 16(and i was 28 at that time) liked me.
so dont worry about moral thing. you wont be able to change your feeling anyway, until you become like someone else.

u can always go yout with him

I would have suggested lessons outside class and maybe offer extra credit.

Oh man i know how you feel. I'm head over heels for my techer too. I've never felt this way about anyone before. Maybe it's because i don't really get along with people my age. He's 10 years older than me so there's not a HUGE age gap, but the stiff "student/teacher" title is hard to deal with. I think i will tell him my feelings someday, but i'll definitely wait until i graduate. It sucks having to wait, I know. it's like torture, but it's probably the best course of action for people in our kind of situation.

Are all teachers perverts??

I'd say to inhibit yourself from developing any more feelings. Don't go to office hours. Walk away. Take interest in people your own age- even if it seems rediculous to you, you must succeed at it.
