First of all, I'm pretty young. Only about to turn 15 to be exact and the teacher I'm crushing on is turning 30 on a later month than my birthday.
Yes, I’m really young and maybe I still don’t have much clue about what love really is but I’ve never experienced anything like this before.
I always think about him.
But don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I plan to act on it at all nor had I ever acted on it the whole school year I was with him.
I’m way too young to decide on such a thing but the thing is, the school year already ended with summer already ending in a few days, school starts again and I still haven’t gotten over him.
Crushes usually take me only a whole school year and stopping completely the moment summer comes and I never even thought of them as much as I thought of this teacher.
So this feels really unusual and it’s starting to take over me.
I all of a sudden feel so jealous of other people that are closer to him and I hate it.
I didn’t think I’d be this jealous, I’ve never felt this jealous.
He even has a girlfriend so all the more reason I should really stop but the thing is, it won’t stop.
And now that the school year ended with him being my teacher, I feel really depressed all of a sudden.
And now with the teacher list of the next school year that just came out, I feel even more depressed because he isn’t my teacher anymore and now I just have no clue what to do since sadness is just taking over me every time I think about it.
School is starting in a few days with him not being my teacher anymore and I feel like I won’t be able to talk to him ever again since I’m just really that shy.
In all honesty, I already know nothing’s ever going to happen between us, I’ve already realized that ever since the crush started.
I only want friendship.
He’ll never fall for me anyway so why not build friendship without initiating anything romantic?
Why not build an innocent teacher-student friendship?
I’ve been thinking that a lot but with my shyness in the way, what can I do?
I’ve also been thinking, maybe I should just stop completely and just not look for him anymore when I want to see him since what’s the point of finding him if you’re just going to do a quick glance at him and just walk away again anyway?
Why not just not be selfish and try your best not to see him anymore even though you always always have the want to see him that’s torturing you way too much already since even only at 2 months straight of not seeing him, you’ve already cried more than you did as a child?
This also wasn’t just a love at first sight thing, these feelings actually grew as the months went by with things like him patting me on the head happening and knowing more about him with him telling stories of things he’s done in class and finding out that he and I have similar main interests.
I like him so much to the point of actually trying my best in his subject which is the subject I’m usually bad at. I got really low grades on the start of the school year but got way high by the end. Like from a D---- to straight off A++ without even going to B and C. It was where the crush started developing since just thinking about him having a lower than average opinion of me, already crushes me.
He was even still really kind to me during the times I actually had a really low grade in his subject.
This is torturing me, I like him this much but I’ve had enough of it.
I just want him to be happy but my selfishness is ruining me.
And just to assure, no matter what happens, I will never act on it so you don’t have to tell me.
I just need advice on what I should do.
Should I befriend him? But how can I do that with my shyness in the way?
Should I just force myself to stop thinking about him?
Should I actually join his club with him as the moderator?
Or do you think that would worsen the situation?
What should I do?
