Am I in love with him or do I just love him?

Question - (9 March 2009) 4 Answers - (Newest, 10 March 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've liked this teacher for over 6 years. I'm 17 right now though. When my crush on him just began I would get butterflies in my tummy before his class but never know why, but looking back I know now that it was because I was starting to like him. Back in the day I would notice his flaws and be sad and think I'd stop liking him but never did. Now recently like last year I think I've fallen in love with him. I saw his flaws, physical anyways, and they didn't bother me one bit! I've never been in love before but things happen when I see him that don't happen with any of my other crushes. I'm not a shy person but when he comes around me I get SHY all over again. His flaws don't bother me but with ALL my other crushes they bother me. Once I remember something he/we did, he stays in my mind for a good couple of hours. I smile when I talk about him or see him, it's an uncontrollable smile too. He just makes me so happy when I see him and talk to him.

And I in NO WAY want to do anything with him. He's married with kids and I accept that and am fine with it but think it's still fine for me to love him as a person but not pursue him. Am I in love with him or do I just love him?

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

But I don't go to "his" school anymore I barely see him anymore and I still think about him! I really honestly think I just love him as a person, much more than any other male teacher anyways. He's just a great person overall and I don't see anything wrong with loving a teacher as a person.

Lady Of Wisdom agony auntI personally believe that you just have a crush or maybe an obsession with the teacher.You're young,most likely you'll grow out of it.I don't believe that you can fall in love with somene unless you're spending a lot of time and personal time with them!To be in love,you have to be mentally,physically,emotionally attracted to someone!You have to feel a strong,deep,soulful connection with someone and I know you don't feel that with your teacher!

It's simply a crush,which you'll most likely grow out of.A lot of teens have crushes on teachers and different people,which you get over as you get older!Remember love is a strong word!

MusicalMistress agony auntHello!! I totally understand what you are going though!

Well.... I think you just love him. When I liked my teacher, i would always get butterflies in my tummy before his class, when I would see him I would smile and chills would run down my spine, it was somewhat hard to talk to him, I totally accpeted his flaws, when he would be close to me I would kinda shake and get really neverous, and if he touched me... my heartbeat when really fast. That is what happened when I liked mine. People told me that I was in love with him, but now i realize, that I just loved him as a person. But, it's prolly just a crush. Just wait for it to pass...

The married thing... in some way can help you. It lets you know that he is off the market. But with mine... he was single, no kids, no girlfriend. Just wait for your crush to pass. I hope I helped you!!

cathay agony auntyes thats right. you had a crush on him.Tust me if you move to another school within the first weeks of having friends you will have completely forgotten about him. in my opinion step away from your dream zone. in reality you like him not love him. Get that straight. And never make a mistake of misquoting those two words because they are as dangerous as you can think.......

Love Cathy....
