I have a crush on my chemistry teacher and I'm not sure how to make it go away

So I'm 16 and in y12 sixth form, I go to an all girls school and everything but obviously some of the teachers are men which is normal. But idk, I have a crush on my chemistry teacher. He's not even like ethnicity my type but he's tall, curlyish hair and really nice in general and about mid twenties i think. It's not like immediately I liked him, when we first had our lesson i did think he was generally like conventionally good looking but I thought it was just be that and just focus on the lesson
But recently, its developed into something more, obviously having a crush is normal but its so annoying and weird because he's my teacher its extremely inappropriate from my side to even think in that way. I do sometimes talk to him during class because he tells us to copy some notes and I always finish quickly and sit there bored and he's standing near in front of me waiting, and im pretty extroverted and lowk cannot sit still without doing anything for more than 2 mins so usually I just ask random but related things like what a levels did you do when he was studying and what cource in uni and stuff, this is not me trying to do anything with all my teachers I always try talk to them and kinda get to know them because im curious and bored.
However, what reallyy hit me was yesterday I had to find a different teacher In the science tech office but when I knocked it was just him and the day before he wasn't in for our lesson and didn't set any cover work, he opened it and I asked if ... was here and he was saying uhh im not sure and was suggesting other places to find him and while I was gonna leave and saying thank you I asked how come u weren't in yesterday and he said he hurt his ankle over the weekend and I wanted to/meant to say oh I hope it gets better but I kind of said oh and trailed off I guess and went off to find the teacher . I went during my lunch and still couldn't find him which was weird, but then i saw my chem teacher again and asked him if he saw him and he looked in a rush but said no but then tried to look for him for me like right in the moment went to other classes which I really appreciated
so the next day passed and I have lesson chemistry so today and when I was walking in (he's by the doorway when we walk into class) he said do you wanna come with me to find ... and I was like really r u sure and he was like yeah i gonna go to him anyway
SO annoyingly all class I was thinking about that and him and also he was wearing a black shirt with smart black trousers and belt and 2 rings and a watch he just looked so good today and in general I always finish writing notes quicklike I mentioned before and today it wasn't any diff sometimes I won't lie I kind of stare at him when he's not looking cuz its fun he's always like brushing his hands through his hair or like just standing there looking good 😭😭 in his black shirt. But I catch myself and remind my self to lower my gaze and look at something else, random but sometimes when I finish writing cuz he's right in front like 3 4 steps away i generally put my head up and like I look at him like not in a weird way like to look at a teacher to indicate im done can we move on ygm but anyway a lot of the time he looks at me at the same time and bro in general im amazing w eye contact igs not a big deal for me like some people can't hold it or wtv but im p good w it BUT with him oh my gg bro when he looks at me I like do a stupid like its not a actual smile its the forced one which I do with everyone when I like see them but I don't talk like a greeting smile but its not pretty cuz its a like upside down smile and usually I do that while I look away and so he doesn't see and he looks away as well anyway not that deep but it happens so often like. 3x a lesson (I don't really mind its fun for me but I feel bad because what if I come across so weird, I don't think its at all obvious I have a crush because I act how I act with everyone else except the fact I lowk admire him sometimes BUT ALSO today I don't know why but I was so distracted and I got a question like wrong and he was explaining it trying to get me to understand and obv when he talks he makes eye contact so idk he's so pretty I just hold eye contact as long as I can when he talks which I think im improving on bc I held it for like at least 10 sec which is a lot for a teacher and he moves his hands when he explains omg his hands are so OK that's not the topic and yeah I just look at his hands so its not awkward that im just staring into his eyes
But after class i went with him and it was a short walk but I wanted to talk so I just asked him if his ankles better and he said kinda of it hurts less but still hurts and I could tell he was like dragging his foot i felt so bad for him and he's so tall
ANYWAYS any tips to STOP crushing on him? And jus focus that he's my teacher i see him 3x a week i just don't want my thoughts to wander during class and want to focus on chemistry
Thanks for reading my yap and any responce is appreciated

Girl we’ve all been there, it’s rlly difficult. Sometimes you’ve just got to sit it out and wait till it goes or you don’t see him as much. My advice would have to be don’t actively seek him out, don’t spend more time with him than you have to, don’t go searching socials (I relate with that one tho). But nothing will come of it, he’s a teacher, at the end of the day it’s harmless and you’ll look back in the future and laugh.

Dw girl it’s more common than you think! Thoroughly enjoyed the yap session. For me, the easiest way to get rid of a crush/ obsession is - you might think it’s weird but - do you think they wash down there after doing a number two 😭? Ok so it might seem crazy but more ppl than you realise don’t and even if you think they do, thinking about the more normal, gross sides to life helps to put this crush into perspective and take that shiny attractiveness away from them. There’s more that to can do but this is js off the top of my head. The mind is an interesting thing, don’t stress abt it too much - eventually your crush will fade, it just needs time and maybe finding out if they alr have a signifiant other ( not that you’d do anything off but to know that they’re alr attracted to someone else and their relationship with you is strictly professional - my main reasoning here is thinking abt the way the other person thinks of you( almost all of the time teachers are too stressed to think of students a lot) so you change the way you think of your crush on them
This was a lot of info for a brain dump at one am if you do need any help clarifying or finding something more useful I would be more than happy to respond at a reasonable hour : ))

Yeah im trying not to like interact with him unnecessarily but I lowk already failed because today he was on break duty and whenever he walks by me and my friends he always says hi and I saw him before he saw me so I waved at him first cuz I knew he'd say somn anyway and he said hi back butt idk why I did this we went past him and like it was a hallwayish thing to go somewhere thej when I came back I looked right (to where he was idk I wanted to catch a glimpse ) AND ANNOYINGLY BRO I BEARLLU TURNED MY HEAD AND HE MADE EYE CONGEACT WITH ME 💔💔 BUT LIKE I TURNED MY HEAD AS SOON AS I SAW HIM ugh I hope he just ignoref it, I have lesson w him tmro tho but also idk If this is a good idea but I was thinking of getting him like a sweet/chocolate just cuz i was annoying him alot but he helped me to find the person I was looking for even though he was super busy cuz other girls were asking for things but he helped me instead idk I don't want it to be like a weird gift i js wanna give it like hand it to him and be like thanks for helping me the other day OR is it too much I think its too much omg I acc waffle too much

you can't make it go away, just don't act on anything. I wish they were confined to when you are young!

She/he can act on her/his feelings when he/she is 18 years old and has finished year 13 and graduated in A levels, theoretically.

It's still frowned upon in the UK to date your former teacher after leaving school.

Being frowned is not equal to being forbidden. It is up to everyone of us to dare it or not after leaving school.
