illicit age gap
Hello all, first time advice-seeker here. I stumbled upon this site by accident but i'm glad i did. My problem is thus: I cannot seem to get my law professor out of my head. He is a regular, unmarried 36yr old, who is popular with students for his quirky humour. I have gone to see him on one occasion to do with his postgrad course, in which i am genuinely interested. I felt a slight tension between us. I find him unconventionally attractive. I have heard rumours that he has had an affair with a student in the past, which, perhaps wrongly, gives me hope.I am a 19yr old female who guards her feelings carefully, yet i have never really felt so strongly about someone before. I want this mental distraction to either go away (though i fear that will not be any time soon) or flourish into something real. I need some advice!

Complete the class before you try and pursue this and know that by pursuing something 'real' with this man, you might close the door to his postgraduate program. It comes down to academic honesty and responsibilities; you don't want to put either of you in a position that could cause the university to get involved.
Most universities have policies for their staff regarding this sort of thing. It might not hurt to look into them.
If you really want to mental distraction to go away then simply reduce your exposure to him. Don't speak to him if you don't need to, and don't be overly friendly. I'm assuming his class isn't going to last forever. I think you'd find once you aren't seeing him on a regular basis you'll begin to forget about this crush.
