I've fallen in love with my teacher. What should I do?

A female age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I think I'm in love with my English teacher. I KNOW I am because I have never in my life felt anything like this before.

He's 20 years older than me. I'm 17, he's 37.

The thing is, the only thing in that area of our friendship (he's more best friend than teacher), is the phisical touching. No, I haven't had sex with him. But when I help him grade papers, he takes that alone time to touch me on the arms and legs.

Don't give me a speech how that, in general, is wrong. I know it is.

I know this whole thing is wrong! But I can't control my emotions for him even though he isn't married.

Hey, there.

I am in a similar situation, but I am not romantically "in love" with my teacher. I do love him, though. More than anything, really. Like you said, he is more of my best friend. I see him as my father, my mentor, my role model and one of my greatest friends.

If you ever want to discuss/share stories about teachers, feel free to message me =)

I don't really know what to tell you except not to get in a relationship with him while you are in school. It would cost him his job, and get him in a lot of trouble. As you love him, therefore you don't want that to happen.

If he cares about you as much as you care about him, you will keep in touch after you get out of school, and maybe THEN something could happen between the two of you.

I know in my case, a lifetime of friendship and his presence is all I want from him. My teacher is happily married and with children whom I love like my own family.

Feelings change...

He probably has you right where he wants you to be - and you don't know it. He knows his responsibility and duty and professionalism that is owed towards you, and he's violating it on purpose. Especially when you say he's 37, at his age he'd know how to truly take advantage of young girls that admire him - and it wouldn't be hard to decieve. Mature men would know exactly how to play the emotions of a young girl.

This is a warning, you should start doubting his intentions.

Stay away from him
