Why do I still have feelings for an old teacher, even though I know I have no chance?

Question - (16 September 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 23 September 2008)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I just transfered to a new school. I kind of like it, but it's more strict there. I'll admit, I do miss my old school at times. Mostly because I left someone who I loved there. That person was my teacher. He was 45, married, with a son who is now nine months old.

I promised myself that this year I would get over him. I loved him for three years, at times he would kind of return those feelings, and just act like it never happened. Well, at my new school I just met this boy, Cory.

He's really nice, and I sort of like him. He seems to like me too, but he has a girlfriend. I'm not sure what to do. Whenever I see him, I just light up.

But I never tried to pursue anything with my teacher, because he was married and of course, my teacher, and 28 years older than me.

Cory has a girlfriend, and I respect that. I respect both of these guys. I would never do anything to break a couple apart. Never. I'm not that kind of girl, and I'm pretty sure I will never be that type of girl.

I really like him though, but honestly, I'm still in love with my (now former) teacher.

I can't forget about him even if I wanted to. I miss him so much. But I just don't get it, I've told myself possibly thousands of times that we could never be together, that he doesn't love me back, and that it would never work out anyway. So why am I still holding on?

Aunty Em agony auntIt's entirely natural to have a crush on your teacher. In your case, after spending three years seeing him every day - it's turned in to something of a love interest!

Don't worry. It's still only the begining of the academic year. Give it some time, and soon enough your feelings will fade as you no longer have to see him every day.
