I truly enjoyed his class and his passion for teaching emitted in the classroom. He was attractive, and well respected by his colleagues. I noticed that he was very lenient with me. He never marked me tardy nor took my phone away when I would text right in front of him. He never gave me a hard time like he would to some other students. I never understood why he continued to give me an A when all my other teachers gave me C's. I didn't complain though. Sometimes he would tease me about my male friends, but in a friendly way. When they would walk me to class and hug me tight, he would tell them to take it easy on me. He even told me to be prepared because they are boys and will sooner or later make a pass at me. I just laughed it off. Not long after, I started to develop feelings for him but I kept it to myself. As the weeks and months went on, I would sometimes catch him looking at me during pep rallies and he would quickly turn his head away. Other times he would walk over to where my class was seated and start talking to my teacher. Maybe I was reading too much into it, but I did wonder if maybe he felt the same thing I felt. One morning, during the last week of school, I went to his class a little early and asked him if he would sign my yearbook. He smiled and said yes. That was the first time we were ever alone together. I stood beside his desk and as he was signing, he stopped and looked at me. I will never forget that moment. We locked eyes and as he opened his mouth to speak, two students came in. He carried on signing and didn't say a word. I thanked him and left, wondering what it was he was going to say. Something in my heart told me it was something other than a school related topic. But who knows. It's hard to explain, it's like there was something between us, but there wasn't. If that makes sense. Maybe I was mistaken and the butterflies he would give me meant nothing more than an innocent crush. Sophomore and junior year came and went, with the two of us waving and saying hello when we'd see each other on campus. We were never once alone again. By the time graduation had come, he had already left the school and moved many, many miles away. I was sad but eventually got over it. It's been three years since we've seen or spoken to each other. Just recently I found out that he is back in our city and teaching at our high school again. I can't get him out of my mind now. All the memories and feelings are coming back and I find myself thinking about him more and more. My niece will be entering high school this upcoming school year and I secretly want to use her as an excuse to possibly see him again. Part of me wants to get in touch with him, and part of me is saying no. I know he has kids because he used to show the class pictures of them, but he never mentioned having a wife. What are your takes on this? Should I act on my feelings and see what happens? Sorry this was long, Thanks everyone.

 Hi, first do your homework, is he married, does he have a steady GF? If so dont waste your time.
If you know he is free, and if he has a FB account, I would become friends and start light flirting to see if he takes the bait.
It is important that you dont persue anything until you know for sure he is single. Or you will end up hurt.
