Is this more than a student-teacher relationship?

Hey guys,

I don't know how my teacher feels about me and the relationship between the two of us.

This teacher is a male teacher, early 40s, married with two children. He has taught me for my first 2 years in high school. He has never taught me ever since. Whenever he sees me in the hallways he always smiles at me. Even when he is having a conversation with another teacher, if he sees me he will smile at me.

Always when we are talking to each other, he would joke and laugh. I like his sense of humor a lot and he makes me laugh. One time a teacher came up to me and said to me that Mr X said that me and him get along really well.

One time recently I went up to him to talk about family problems and he was so willing to help. He understood me and gave up his free periods to listen to me. I always go to him whenever I can't talk to my family or friends about something because I trust him and confide in him.

I feel like there is more than a student - teacher relationship but not sure whether there is anything romantic going on. I think of him as a charming, respectable, decent looking, funny man.

Please help :)

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I don't like him romantically. Would you describe it as a friendship?

Aw sweetie! Everyone goes through what they believe to be strong feelings for teachers and because the teacher gives us attention we misinterpret that for what we believe is more. I was once in that position. I really believed it was more. What you must understand is you are a minor, and it would be illegal for there to be any kind of relations between the two of you. He could also lose his job. Keep in mind that he has a wife and kids so he 1 is of the market and 2 way to old. Being friendly with students develops the teacher student bond which may be what he is trying to do. Dont allow your heart to think anything more because when you realize it was nothing you will be very hurt. Crushes are important in teen growth, There is probably a boy in your class or school that feel the same about you. Don't waste your time and energy on a man that is married. Also remember that if he does do anything, he is what society calls a pervert. Don't let any man especially in that age range make you his prey!! Good luck
