Was it ok to have a crush a teacher?

First off, take a deep breath.  Calm down.  Now, crushes are okay, as long as you can control them.  As you said, they are unstoppable.  But they are not supposed to be uncontrollable.  Just act as if you don't have the crush.  Act the way you normally do in front of him and do your work the way you're supposed to.  DON'T let him know that you like him, as it would only cause awkwardness and a lot of bad feelings.  Nothing good can come out of telling him.  Ride it out.  Eventually, you will find another guy that you are interested in.  This crush may seem like it will last forever, but it won't.  Soon enough, you will either fall for a hot guy you just met or you will see an old friend in a new light.  Until then, just play it cool.

My first year I taught first grade and I had a wonderful class.  I remember the last day of school.  I had a surprise for my students.  I told my class that I would be teaching second grade the following year and that some of them would be in my class.  I remember crying before my kids left because after all it was my first year teaching and I knew some will be in another class.  My memorable moment came at the end of that second year because more than half of that class had been with me for 2 whole years, and my first two years of teaching at that.  I was going around the class and asking students to share stories about the last two years.  Some said they would remember how I always turned red when I laughed, some said they would remember hearing the radio every morning as they walked in (I would sometimes forget to turn it on) some said they would remember the christmas parties and we just shared memories.  One particular student, who never displayed any emotions had his head down the whole time.  I just figured he was bored by the whole thing since he was like the little typical "macho" kid in the class.  When I got to him, I said Frankie, what will you remember.  When he finally looked at me he had been crying the whole time because he realized that after two years of being his teacher he would be moving on.  I was floored and all I could do was cry too.  Then, well needless to say the waterworks started and half of my class was crying.  I would never forget that because as he was leaving, Frankie said, you are the best teacher I've ever had.  I knew he had meant it.

My favorite teacher (Maria Luise Auer) never teached in my class but in my school, but she impressed me very much:\nfor example: we were visiting an ice cave during night (it was cold, slippery and we had torches to see something), I was very anxious, she took my hand and brought me savely to the cave; she showed me how to make a bed properly; during the breaks in school she always had time for me, we talked; and while other pupils wrote the names of bands, actors et cetera on their school stuff, I wrote her name on mine;\nWhen she went to theater with her class I could accompany them; \nNow, I´m almost 9 years off this school, I can call her by her first name, we are still happy when we see each other,...\nI never saw her as a "teacher", I always saw her as my best friend although I have very many respect of her. \nWe know each other for almost 12 years now and there is not much about what I´m more happy like about this!! \n\nShe is really the cutest and greatest teacher in the whole world and she is also like an older sister for me.

ok yea that happened to me..first of all your in sixth grade you'll have boyfriends but if theyre anything like the ones that i had in sixth grade the most that will probally happen is a peck on the lips\n\nanyways about you crush thats a tough place to be in..cause you want him to know how you feel but you don't want to ruin your friendship my advice is to keep it a secret for a while and see if you eventually grow out of it and get over him but if you don't try telling him but explaining that you really don't want it to ruin your friendship\n\nGood luck!!!!!!

No, why should they be? Check out the 30 someting teacher in Washington state that had an affair with her 13 (?) year old student it was wrong, and compounded by the fact they had a child........

Ok, this is a sticky one.  Can you put your 'crush buzz' to the side and see the reality of 'what if it can work' set in? It will be national news, everything will blow up.  Can you honestly see her having feelings for you as well? Do you think moving in closer to her would work out for the both of you's or just you? remember she is married for a reason. Here's the good news, you have found someone that has shown you your 'ideal' partner.  What might have got you to have a crush on her is as a teacher it is their job to pay attention and help students reach there goals.  I know your not going to get that with a lot of girls at high school, hey they are young and still learning themselves, maybe you are more mature minded and that's great you have discovered your ideal partner which is a mature, funny, witty and with a great personality.  But as a teacher, not a good thing to do.  Just look at her and thank her in your mind for showing you an ideal partner =)

My photo teacher who was known for doing nude portraits before she was a teacher, asked me and my subject if I was a lesbian when I took a semi-nude portrait of a friend. I was so shocked and frankly, pissed off. I see nothing wrong with being homosexual, but I don't think it was appropriate for a teacher to insinuate that. So that sticks with me.

Consider it a passing crush. Don't pursue it unless you are absolutely sure the woman with him was not his wife or girl friend. When your teachers are cute, you tend to do your lessons better and pay attention more. But it should stop at that if they are married. If they are not married and genuinely like you and have nobody else in their life, it would be nice to work towards a warm and long relationship if you both are on the same wave length. Having a fling with cute professors and teachers seems like fun but makes you feel quite trashy later. Make your mind strong and concentrate on your studies.

I have had crushes on my doctors before too but then I found out one of them was gay so there went my fantasy. I think what your feeling is probably considered normal but you have to remember that a doctor is a professional and just because they listen to you and touch you doesn't mean they are attracted to you. There are just doing their job and some are more compassionate than others. Don't let your thoughts and fantasies get too out of hand. It's OK to laugh and joke about crushes but remember the chances of him falling in love with you and whisking you off somewhere is sort of absurd.

It is normal to get crushes on your teachers, I just wouldn't suggest doing anything about it.

I had a couple of teachers whose memory kept me awake nights also.  Had a hard time breathing normally in one or two classes in addition.  But the thing is that I knew it was wrong to try to approach a teacher, so I didn't.  It's wrong firstly because of the age difference and the differences in experience and knowledge.  Secondly, it's wrong legally.  The teacher, if she were to be interested in you, would be risking serious jail time should she allow herself to get involved with you. Lastly, it's against all professional ethics for a teacher, no matter how close he/she may be in age to the student, to become involved with him/her. The teacher not only would risk going to jail, but would also risk losing his or her teacher's license which took four years of hard study and scrutiny by professional educators to acquire.\n\nThe answer is you probably won't be able to stop thinking about her for a long time, but it doesn't mean that you have to act on your desire.  What it means is that you should replace your interest in her with an interest in another female of your own age, or more your own age, and experience.\n\nThink first, act cautiously and morally.\n\nGood luck.

thats extremely strange behavior for just being freindly. He probably like you, but doesnt want to do anything wrong, since he is older and is a teacher and all. Reminds me bit of a prevert.

Shirley,\nYou need to slow down...\nYou have a crush on your teacher....\nYou like a guy you just met from China....\nYou ask questions like you are 14....\nWait for the right guy, the right time.\nEven if you feel it is taking too long.\nIt will turn out to be the right thing.\nSex is one of those things that you can't \nknow exactly how you will feel till you do it.\nDon't make a big mistake....\nLife is not erasable...\nListen to your real feelings,\nnot your hormones.\nYou won't be sorry for giving yourself time.

I have been friendly with many of my students, but do not consider them my friends. I think that if students come and visit you when they no longer are your student, and even when they go off to college, they can be considered friends. But I do not think that teachers and students are really friends when one holds the responsibility of a grade in their hands.  Relationships (healthy relationships) that continue after those roles are completed can be quite fulfilling.
