Hiya guys.

I understand that there are many of these questions regarding teacher 'crushes' and many people saying they're 'in love' with them but I know what I feel about the guy, and it's kinda like a love him as a friend and I know at least whilst i'm in school nothing can happen, but i just want to know what his actions mean. So....

I'm really sporty, and he's a P.e Teacher..he's 23-6 age and I'm 16, 17 this year. Anyway, he always smiles and asks me if i'm okay, he's really genuine and when i'm upset he's talked to me and sat down with me and is just there for me really.

I know it might just be friendly, but there's more...

i was playing football after school in a random training session that I made him take and we got put into a game and he joined in cos there wasn't many girls there, and we were pushing eachother tyring to get the ball, we were a bit agressive for the fun of it...bumping into eachother makin me fall over and kinda catching me n things like that.

Then the other night, I was walking out the gates after a sports club, and two of my lad mates were walking a fair bit infront of me, but they said hi etc..then he walked past me and winked at me, but kinda clicked his mouth thing as if to say 'you alright, or i like the look of you', my mates saw this and that's what they think...i know it might not seem that way, but it's not what he does to people...so was he flirting?

Then there's little things, like he'll walk past me and tap me on the shoulder, or brush against me or if i ask him to run a footy club he has a joke around n that and just gives me a grin and stuff.

He always calls me lass, and he's not scottish....

my best mate is friendly with him to and we all have a joke around together, but she says he's different with me, and I'm just not sure if he is, so any help please?

And, yes, he is nice, and yes, i may well 'fancy' him, but i just wanted to know if he was flirting and i'm not obsessed or anythin.

thanks guys.

As a member of staff at a school, i know that i treat some pupils a little differently then i do others - some students makes it a little easier to wade through the day. Those students i behave slightly differently around, giving high-fives, talking to them differently, being more friend-like. But its only due to appriciating their behaviour, that they make me laugh or something, and (this will sound harsh but i dont mean it to) i dont feel anything for them like that. I'd like them to think of me as a friend figure, but to maintain that i am a member of staff too. This is kinda how it sounds this teacher is being; that you are a favourite of his students that makes his job fun. Of course i cant say entirely that he ISN'T flirting as i do not know, but that is how i read the situation.

The bumping and catching thing can be taken in a few ways.. it sounds like it may be a bit OTT and i feel shouldnt be happening, but saying it was an afterschool thing, maybe makes me think all he wanted was for people to be compfortable around him, hoping you wont see him just as the teacher but as just someone else playing the game in order to have fun.

maybe he does like u but he cant ever act on it. by law he isnt allowed to have these kind of relationships with pupils and could get done for being a pervert or watever. dont do anything about it and just ignore him wen he does these things and just enjoy a friendly relationship with ur teacher. if he makes u uncomfortable then tell him to back off or tell another teacher.

yeah that was a useful reply, not.

Seriously, I'm not in love with my teacher, I just asked what his actions/way means, because it's kinda weird.

I don't love him, or want to..all i said was i love him as a friend, a person, that's all. Not that i wanted to be with him, seeing as i have other love interests that would we stupid of me.

You obviously think you're fantastic, thus the sarcastic answer, but just keep it to yourself seeing as you failed to actually answer the question anyway.
