Nix!

No and you're not in love.

You have an infatuation, nothing more.

Pfft. Kids these days.

No not unless you want to ruin his career.

Just enjoy the pain of being passionately in love with someone who is unattainable...it's lovely...many people experience this but it really is best just to admire them from afar...

The feelings will change with time and you'll be able to smile at your foolishness...but if you act on it you will only remember TOTALLY embarrasing yourself.

So keep it to yourself and enjoy it...

nothing can happen between you! I'm being 100% serious here. He doesn't have feelings for you, he's probably nice to everyone/ lots of people. Of course he cares for you, as teachers are supposed to care for their students. Maybe you feel closer to him than you are to your othere teachers but this does NOT mean that he fancies you. It also doesn't mean that you are in love with him, it's probably mere infatuation so don't beat yourself up over it! Try to find a more suitable person to obsess over before you end up getting really hurt when you finally realise that your fantasy can never be a reality. Remember that he has a life after school hours and probably has a girlfriend/ wife! Sorry to be blunt but he will just see you as one of the school kids that he teaches when he goes to work.

I agree with ali123. He prob has a life of his own and i think that if he fancied you then he would give you a lot more attention and he would have let you known.

If he cares about his job, no. By law, teachers are not allowed to have a relationship with pupils - it's seen as a breach of trust. This will usually end up with the teacher being fired, and s/he runs the risk of having a prison sentence.

Meep!

It's an infatuation, not love. It's perfectly normal. I think you're probably misreading his 'looks' at you. If he were however, to have feelings, and to do anything, he would be abusing his position, and lose his job. Forget it.

as a student you can confuse your feelings for a teacher between love and being or having certain qualities like them (male or female). Just learn to distinguish which one your feeling. I'm guessing you like to have these qualities. I know that most will look up to atleast one teacher.

I thought I had a crush on my teacher once, but I soon realised I admired him as a father figure and wished he was my dad (I hate my real dad). Like others have said, it's admiration/infatuation, and you'll see that for yourself as time goes by.

it'll pass with time, but until it does, just admire their qualities and don't cross any lines!
