A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So there is a teacher who is 8 years older than me which is not that bad and i like older guys anyway...hes a special ed teacher and he was NEVER my teacher when i went to high school. When I was in school we flirted and I felt like he payed more attention to me than many other gurls but he wasnt really inappropriat but some things he would do led me to think we def had an attraction to each other and after i graduated we kept in touch and i visited him in school throughout my freshmen year of college..we got more personal and we were talking about relationships and he was like o we need to set u up with a an older guy who has a good job and i shook my head and he like no cant do that right...what am i supposed to say o this is britney and i met her at school? And i just left it at that because i then knew that he thought about me in that way and i wasnt just going to crazy. That day i emailed him and i told him how i felt and he said he was a professional and he couldnt persue anything to that extent which i respect and then the next time i went to visit..he was like o u understand why right and i was like i know. And then he said maybe in a few years ill run into u at a club. Now im 19 and a sophmore in college and i still have feelings for him...i feel like he basically admitted that he liked me and ive tried to get over him and ive been meeting other people but at the end of the day..i still think about him. Is that wrong that i like him and should i visit him again..i saw about a month ago but didnt get a chance to really speak to him and i want to visit him at school and see how hes doing and if the sparks are still there. Does anyone think that something could happen in the near future or should i just try to move on?

Tevote agony auntHey, seriously don't worry.

I'm so sorry that you missed him when you went back 20 minutes later!

BUT!

You should just email him and say-

" Hey, Sorry about leaving the other day. I came back but you weren't there, I just assumed I missed you or something-How have you been?"

OR something like that, whatever you feel comfortable writing. But now you have an excuse to email him :)

There's nothing wrong with you seeing him. However, don't go into the school to do it. Set up a meeting in a neutral public place. And please find out if he's currently seeing, dating etc. someone else before you throw yourself at him. Remember your actions affect others. Please respect them and do things right. If he's interested then make sure he's ready or your relationship will get really messy really fast.

Ok so I went to the school yesterday.. saw him..sat down and just started a conversation and then there was an emergency evacuation and I had to leave the school he def seemed like he was interested in talking to me and he told me to come back a half hour later and we could talk. But I went back 20 minutes after he told me to come and he wasnt in the room so im assuming I just missed him or I didnt see him in the room. So i never got my chance. Im planning on I guess waiting another couple months to see him because I don't want to go back to school right away and I don't want it to look bad infront of the other teachers. Im tempted to email him and ask him if we could possibly meet up at sometime for lunch or something like that but I dont want him to be like o thats inappropriate and think Im coming on to him too strong because then I would probably be embarrassed to ever visit him again and that would ruin everything. I don't know if he still feels the way he did about me or if he would take a chance but he probably would say no because he is a respectful and doesnt want to lose his job but i just need closure. I need to know if its time to move on or if I should wait it out until he feels its ready and the only way I can do this is if I talk to him and find out if hes still the same person. I don't know what to do!!!

I think it would be a good idea to go talk to him. If there are still 'sparks' there then you should get together or something. There shouldn't be anything to stop you two from going out now, and it would be a shame if you both didn't take the chance.

So yeah, go see him tomorrow on Halloween and I hope everything goes well!

Good Luck xx

Hey guys..thank you so much for your feedback!! Im actually going to visit the school on friday..halloween! Im going to see how he reacts and what happens and maybe this will help either get over him or find out if we still have something because although he said all those things..we havent had a chance to be alone and talk in awhile so hopefully this will end my contemplating.

I think if you don't contact him you will regret it. Who wants to live with regrets?

vilipili agony aunti would go. the choice is up to you, but if you really want to see him, then you shouldn't torture yourself- just go. you don't have much to lose and he's not that much older. i think that there is a possibility that something will happen but i don't see a big chance of it happening in the school. however, if you guys meet outside of school 'in the near future' maybe something will. it sounds like he does like you, seeing as how he wrote back and said he couldn't. if he didn't like you i don't think he would've written back. i hope it works out for you. gl =)

Tevote agony auntHEllooo!

I think something could happen in the near future! he obviously does like you :). Try emailing him again and ask him how he's going...or something.

MAybe you could go and visit him?

But if you still have feelings for him don't give up on them, what's the point in ignoring them when they wont go away.

I hope you make the right choice-for yourself!

Goodluck
