Is it wrong to crush on your teacher?

Question

Seriously, i don't know what to do...

I think I have a crush on my English teacher, but i'm not sure, really...

I'm not in love with him or anything, and I'm ***NOT*** attracted to him physically,(He's way older than me, YES I know I'm a freak ok) (in his 40s maybe) so why????

I don't get it but I find my hands freezing every time he goes in the class... and my heart starts to beat super fast...

And at first it was just cause I like the way he dresses (he's a very neat dresser)... and the funny yet interesting way he discusses...

But then me and my friends went to try out for the Scrabble Varsity team and Holy **** he's the teacher in charge and i got so nervous I stuttered all through out the game... It didn't help that he showed us his so very many accomplishments in the game either... ended up admiring him even more... ( I mean, I knew he'd be the teacher in charge the days before, but didn't think i'd get nervous to the point where my stomach started freaking out)

Darn it, I could just be admiring him instead, but my teacher?!?!

And NO, he doesn't hit on me or anything, or treat me special in any way or done anything illegal.

And NO WAY IN h**l am i going to do anything about how i frigging feel, I just needed to vent out.

I think this is one of those rare cases where you like someone for who they are, but do you think it's wrong to crush on your teacher?

And to top it all off, I haven't told my boyfriend this... God knows what he'll think...

Answer 1

Don't sweat it. It's normal to have a crush (and  yes, you do have a crush) on someone who inspires you, is a good role model, interesting and advanced, and even 40year olds can have physical appeal.. and it's not disgusting. You don't have to do anything about it, it will pass eventually.  

Answer 2

It's quite normal to have a crush on your teacher.

AS LONG AS YOU DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

That way everyone is safe.

Don't tell your teacher. It's not worth it.  

Answer 3

I wouldn't worry about it.  It is not uncommon to get a little crush on an older man.  Especially one in a position of authority.

You've said you are not going to do anything about it, and the teacher has done nothing to create this situation.  So don't worry about it.  And probably best not to tell your boyfriend either.  I'd keep it to yourself.

Answer 4

This is TOTALLY normal and OK. A lot of girls crush on teachers sometimes. As long as you keep admiring him from afar,y ou'll be ok. (Never ever tell him how you feel, both of you will feel awkward.)  If the teacher treats you like he treats all other students, your situation is fine. But if he starts to hit on you, it's illegal. (You already knew that :D ) Don't tell your bf. Girls should keep teacher crushes a secret, because the word might spread all over!

Think about this! You have a boyfriend who your perfectly happy with, yet you still fancy a 40 year old guy who you know doesn't like you! Face it, nothings going to happen between you as there's to much of an age gap + he's your teacher!

It might just be a phase your going through. Just enjoy your time with your boyfriend and think about things other than your teacher!  

Answer 6

First, I wouldn't tell the boyfriend anyway. It's a fruitless thing to obsess on a teacher, because they are supposed to be in a position of trust with their students and not have any contact outside the realm of the school in a social, personal way.  There have been numerous cases the past few years where teachers have gotten in big trouble with having affairs or just sexual relations with students. You must be aware of some of them from the news.  It's best that you just get used to this guy and respect him for who he is and what he does and admire him from afar.

Answer 7

no it's not worng to feel liek that. who cares if you don't undertsand it just experiance it and move on.

p.s. your boyfriedn will jsut get jealous if you tell him....well probubly who knows.  

Answer 8

This has happened to me! So I do hope it's common, and neither of us are weird. =]

For me it was an odd attraction for someone intelligent that I could learn a lot in life from. It was my history teacher too, and I love history...
