A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hi. I've been having weird feelings about my English teacher for about two years.

We're great friends and also a friend of my father. He's a very sweet person and very humorous. Basically, everyone adores him. He's a favorite of practically every other student in my school.

From the start of school to now he has always been especially sweet to me. He's nice and caring, and he never teases me. When we walk by each other in the hall, we usually don't say "hi" because just a smile is our secret way of greeting each other. He loves all my essays and thinks I'm going to be a terrific writer someday.

One time I wrote an essay about something sad that happened to me, and at first I thought to myself that I made a big mistake, but in the end he gave me a perfect score and never said anything about it. I told my mom about it, and she said it was the right thing to do. She knows him and she absolutely trusts him, and I was glad she thought it was fine. I think after that essay, he started to care about my feelings even more.

Even when my grades weren't very good in his class, he told my mom at conferences that I was doing great just so I wouldn't get in trouble. Gosh, that was a good thing!

There was another time when I emailed him saying I might not be at school in a couple days because of something sad in my family, and he never emailed me back.

Instead, he talked to me at school and said he understood. He was very sweet to me, and I could tell he truly understood by the way he looked at me.

Whenever he hears me laugh, he smiles this cute little smile, but tries not to let me see, because he turns away.

I also saw him looking at me when I was in the commons laughing with two of my friends, and they were both boys. I looked at him because out of the corner of my eye he was watching me. He was whistling really nicely, but when we looked at each other, he turned and walked the wrong way and he started whistling way out of tune, and I started laughing really hard, but never told anyone why. He later told the class he forgot something. The rest of the day he looked embarrassed when I looked at him.

I know he likes me, and so does my mom. I like him too, and I still do even though I haven't seen him in two months.

I trust him totally; he wouldn't ever try anything with me because he's happy with his wife.

So, do you think my English teacher likes me in a friendly way, or is it something else?
