hi. im a senior in my school and i will graduate pretty soon.
but i actually don't want to because i have a big crush on one of my last year's teachers who is 10 years older than me.
i dont mean to brag or anything, but i am a kind of nice looking girl and 4 guys in the school keep asking me out. but i avoid all of them just because of him :(. he is really nice to me, he always says hi to me, always hugs me, stares at me, and sometimes even winks at me. and every time he does not say hi i get depressed. but i try to run away from him, because i think it will be embarrassing if he finds out about my feelings.
do you think i should tell him about my feelings?!?
i really really like him. what should i do? helpp!

If you do care about him then wait till you graduate and find out how he feels, atleast so you'll know. Then decide if you want a relationship. I wouldn't advise you to though especially if you are going to go to college and start a future, this man is 10 years old than you and I know age doesn't matter, but a whole decade???

You could always tell him after you graduate but be prepared if he doesnt feel the same way as you. He may simply be showing you kindness or you could just be his favourite pupil. Dont mistake his liking you for physical attraction.
Chances are you'll move onto college or work and you'll forget about him after a while. Im sure we call al testify to having a huge crush on a teacher at some point! And sometimes relationships with age gaps do work out but even then, do you really think the ten year age gap wont be an issue? Even if he is attracted to you he may not want a relationship with you.
Look at this realistically and if you decide to tell him them make sure youre aware of the risks involved. [ WingYan's advice column | Ask WingYan A Question ]
