The Student Room Group

I like a teacher :(

AAARGH!!!!! I think I'm in love with my teacher. He's been my teacher for 2 years and I used to just think of him as really funny and a really good teacher, but recently this year I've developed feelings for him. He's really good looking and he sometimes looks me in the eye in this really intense way and I look away immediately because I'm so scared he'll be able to tell I like him. I'm 17 years old and he's 32 or 33.. and I'm also graduating high school this year!!!! I'll never see him again. :frown: This sucks so much!

Enjoy the crush you have, but seriously DON'T act on it. He would never get involved romantically with a student and if he did that would get him fired. He's probably married anyway. You will never see him again after this year so wait it out til then. You're most likely misinterpreting his intense stare as being more meaningful than it is, and making any kind of move would only end in embarassment for you.
Don't act your feelings. He's your teacher and even if he felt the same way, it's against the rules. It's quite likely that this is a crush, not love (don't mean to sound unsympathetic) and you'll probably forget all about him when you leave school. Just try to focus on the work, not the teacher.

I'm not going to do anything about it, I've just never felt this way before. It's this consuming, painful feeling and I can't stop thinking about it. It just feels better to type it out. Thanks : )
GOD I have got this one hot geography teacher. OH GOD... but, I'm not gonna do anything about it. He's fifty! Still... he knows anyway, lol. Meh. We have our moments :wink:

That's love for you :rolleyes: anyway go out with your friends and meet people your age and you'll surely find someone who you can eventually feel this way about and who you can go out with, hope you feel better soon.. i know how you feel (haven't liked a teacher before but someone that i couldn't ever ever ever ever have :mad: )

Sometimes my Head of Year is too nice, and gets too involved with students on a personal level. Not in a perverted sexual way at all, but he is just a bit too pally with a lot of the students, including me.

Although the majority of people see him as just our head of year (and perhaps even a friend too) I do worry about some idiot someday getting him into trouble.

My Head of Year is a nice, genuine bloke, and I expect your teacher is the same. If you like this guy, then never say anything to him or any of your friends (who would likely take the mickey and spread it around). If him or any other teacher finds out, then incident reports will have to be filled out and he will never treat you in the same way.

Ah, love.

Kisskiss,
E.

Just putting my teacher hat on for a minute - I've been on the receiving end of a student 'crush'. It wasn't very nice for anyone involved. Even though I was certainly not going to do anything about it the school took action to move the student from all of my classes and cut off all contact. This was difficult for the student, his peer group and for me as well. If he had not said anything then he could have completed the year without any problems, still getting to be with the friends and teacher he liked rather than having to start afresh in a new group. Unfortunately, he failed his end of year exams as he ddn't like his new group and ended up leaving the school.
My advice? Keep your feelings to yourself and make the most of sharing the time you have left before you leave, take a decnet photo on the last day of term...and then move on.

everyone fancies a teacher once in their life. some of my teachers where great.

dont worry about that, but dont act on anything either unless you want to mess around with your head and have him lose his job. most men that age probably wouldnt pull away from a 17 year old girl, to be real about it.

I'm just wondering why everyone says that he would lose his job. Technically I've finished school (I'm doing my exams now), so he's not really my teacher anymore. I still won't be acting on my feelings - don't worry.
yes, all the advice as above - from a personal standpoint, i beg you, however intense your feelings are: never, ever, ever, ever, ever act on it. please. teacher crushes are awful, all-consuming, annoying things that can last for years. but i assure you, they get a hell of a lot worse if and/or when they get past the crush stage. take heed!

Actually although you have technically finished you met him within the school environment and so therefore in the eyes of the law he would still be seen as being in the wrong should a relationship develop. On the other hand, if you left, went to uni had no contact and returned (say as a teacher or classroom assistant) in 6 years time and then pursued a realtionship there would be no repucussions (sp).

Because its unprofessional to have met you through a teacher student classroom relationship, people would think he would be a threat to girls even younger eventually.

You're probably not in love, you're probably infatuated.

I wouldn't do anything about it at the moment, I'd just try to understand that it's probably a schoolchild crush for her teacher, very common.
I've fancied a few of my teachers but every time another hot teacher comes along I've moved on and fancied them - it really is just infatuation :smile:
One particular teacher did the same to me, the looks and the smiles and I used to often go and ask him pointless questions just to spend a little time with him; I knew the answers to the questions but I'd do anything to have time with him alone.
Of course, we would flirt and eventually, it came to a stage where I knew it was becoming inappropriate and I stopped going to see him out of class time and, thankfully, our class was moved to another teacher.

It isn't worth making any kindof move - it could ruin his entire career and make you look like a fool.
It's probably best to just keep your crush to yourself and hope that, in time, it fizzles out.

Of course, once you've left school there's nothing stopping you following him home and giving him your number? :p:
Your teacher would never go out with you. He's probably married and has children. You'll get over him soon.
been there done that got the heartache. exactly the same knew him for 4 years but got on with him, funny, looked at me in that intense way. i mean i left my high school and went into sixth form and dont think about him. i mean it is painful but seriously though i wouldnt dare act on it, it was nice. but we all move on, and you will too, you just need to get over it, which you soon will. x
Same as what everyone has said, you can't act on it I am afraid.
