Crush on a teacher.


Question Posted Tuesday September 15 2009, 11:24 pm

14/f
22/m


.........I was never plagued by the crushes my friends had for their male teachers in grade school. I always thought it was so stupid. Why like someone you OBVIOUSLY can't have?


But, now, unknowlingly, it's happened to me.

When I first met my History teacher, I thought him to be very odd, if not a bit unself-confident and awkward. I didn't really think I'd enjoy the class at all.

Then, suddenly I've realized a month later I have a small crush. A pat on the arm makes my heart leap. A smile makes me warm and happy. A note of approval on my work makes the sun shine. You know the feeling you get with a regular crush, except this time the crush is 8 years older than you.

I am VERY VERY good at hiding crushes, but... still.. this is a really really awkward situation to be in and I don't want it to happen. I want to get over it ASAP. I can hide my feelings, but I'm bad at getting rid of them. It's only natural I'd like this teacher, as we share almost all the same interests and get along well, plus he's just overall very goofy and fun to be around, and treats me with respect no boy my age does. Even though he isn't very attractive, I like his personality.

I know, I will get over it. I know I like him because he's so kind and mature, and this is my heart screaming "I want a guy like this when I'm older!!" But... how do I get over it more quickly?

Hey!
Teacher crushes are more common than you may think!
But overall the best thing to do is take a step back because it could only lead to trouble!
Teenage hormones are a pain at times, sending you in a whirlpool of emotions but at the end of the day we simply cant help how we feel!
Eventually you will grow out of it and look back and giggle.
My advice would be to try and focus more on the work rather than the teacher.

Its totally understandable but like you said impossible to get someone older then you and the only reason you like him is because you havent met anyone better or your age yet and its natural for a young girl to have crushes on older men but the truth is you cant have him and you just have to make your heart understand that just tell yourself that hes to old and that you can find someone you own age if its really hard and you feel its impossible to get over him then switch into a different class or find a new crush or lastly just look at the things you dont like about him and eventually you will get over him.
