One of those awkward situations

    So basically there is a teacher in my year whom I see everyday in college. Since the first term I've gotten to know her well and I started to grow fond of her. After a while it grew into a crush and I tried really hard to ignore those feelings but they have not gone away, if anything they are getting stronger, leading to sleepless nights where I would be wide awake wondering, what if...

    Today I found out I'll have her again next year. And honestly, I don't know what to do from here. I stayed away from women/dating outside of college because I didn't want any distractions from my studies but, as things happen.. so much for that idea!

    I really like her and I would like to have a romantic relationship but her, but alas I highly doubt it would happen with are situation. For all I know she is spoken for. I've tried not to slip up while talking to her that I felt this way.

    I'm just looking for some advice here, any input would be really appreciated.

    My advice would be to let this issue drop as soon as you can. People who work in areas of vulnerability (teachers/therapists/medical) etc are trained to avoid such situations, and there is a fine line that is usually drawn between teacher/student etc that cannot be crossed. It is not professional for them to even consider it, I myself have been through this training as a therapist and can vouch for it, she will not want to hear this from you as it puts her in a very uneasy position...and she is not going to sacrifice her career for a student.

    Hopefully the gravity of the situation is clear to you now, she must NEVER know this while you are a student in this school/college. Maybe in a few years if you happen to meet up while out on the town etc, who knows.

    OP I think staying away from girls has got you into this situation. Most people manage college and a love/social life so it shouldn't affect your college work. Start dating girls will take your mind off the teacher and you will have a change of having a real relationship. Your teacher will most likely never get involved with a student or she risks loosing her career.
