14/f. Here's the thing. I am so in love (ok, like) with this guy. There's only one problem-He's my teacher! But he's so hott! He's also funny, nice, and smart. I really like him, but I don't want to b/c he's too old for me, and nothing's ever going to happen between us. How can I convince myself to not like him?
Chewshi answered Saturday October 8 2005, 5:31 pm: First of all, I want you to know that there's no shame in being attracted to someone, no matter who he is, because you can't control it. However, I do agree that this is just weird and unrealistic, no offense. Try looking at the guys in your grade and talking to them. I myself have a big crush on this guy who's really, really nice to me, while I'm not quite as interested in my other crush, whom I only feel attracted to because he's cute. Pay attention to a few boys your own age and possibly talk to the one who sits next to you in class, and you'll eventually develop a better crush than your teacher!

RockStoleMySoul answered Saturday October 8 2005, 11:13 am: Okay okay okay! Stop right there honey! You are not in love with him. You are just attracted to him. You can convince yourself by telling yourself what you just stated. He's too old, old enough to be your dad, and he's a teacher. If you did do anything with him, he could be arrested. You need to just give it up and find someone your own age. Teacher crushes never work. And if he is interested in you, that's a really bad thing because he is an older man and that's perverted. There are plenty of younger guys out there who I'm sure are wanting a relationship with a sweet girl like you. So wait for that to come, don't go after your teacher.

Mercy_x_Me answered Saturday October 8 2005, 10:15 am: Ok...think of how old he was when you were born...that might be enough to gross you out. There's no way for certain I can tell you to STOP liking someone...but look around you and try and make yourself distracted and/or have interest for someone else. Even if it only lasts a week you'll forget about both crushes! [ Mercy_x_Me's advice column | Ask Mercy_x_Me A Question ]

xomegaroni answered Saturday October 8 2005, 8:52 am: hmm you can't really convince yourself not to like him, because you can't help who you like. its totally natural to have a crush on him even if he is your teacher. you'll eventually realize him being too old is a bad thing, and sooner er later you'll stop liking him. trust me on that, a lot of girls have crushes on older guys, some even being their teachers, and you juss grow out've it. it takes time, so maybe you should look around for guys more your age. you know, hang out with some other guys & try not to concentrate on your teacher.
tangerine answered Saturday October 8 2005, 5:01 am: You cant control who you have feelings for.
Though, that being said, this is probably interfering with your education somewhat (starting at the teacher rather than listening to what he says! =P) and also, it must be at least somewhat frustrating knowing that nothing is ever going to happen.
Try focusing on people around your age, go out with a few hot guys, and hopefully you'll be over him soon enough. People have crushes on their teachers all the time, but make sure you don't turn this into an obsession or anything... haha it could be embarrasing if he caught you doodling his name on your work =P.
hoji answered Saturday October 8 2005, 4:56 am: nothing wrong with having a crush on somebody, even if he's your teacher.
No use in trying to deceive yourself, better try to deal with it, so next time (and trere usually are next times) you know how to deal or at least how not to deal with it.
Only way I know of getting over someone though is to get somebody else.
