writes: I'm just curious but...is my teacher just a big flirt? I've been in his class for two years, I always stop by his room before school starts to say hi, chat or to study. He poked my arm at times and jokes with me. I know a lot about him and he knows a lot about me. one day I didn't stop by his room to chat, and I told him I did it on purpose, he asked if we were still friends. I just smiled and laughed. We joke a lot, and he stands close to me, but not like "your in my bubble and I'm uncomfortable" close, just closer than my other teachers. He has taken me home, we've sort of hung out at school events like sporting events. One time at a track meet he gave me a shirt to wear BC it was cold and another time he gave me his sweatshirt to wear BC it was rainy. I told one of my friends and she said it weird. he worries about me on days when I'm super quiet and I don't speak in class. He will ask is something wrong, and before I can respond he'll say let's talk about it, tell me. So is he just a big flirt or is he crossing the line?

But having a crush on a teacher is normal and in everyones life it would have happened at one point.
I am going through something similar except i have just finished my 2nd year at university.
My friends think its weird when this teacher of mine flirts with me and but they have no idea of the full story - they immediately jump to conclusions without any thought.
obv there is nothing going on but in their minds there is.
we are all human at the end of the day and time to time we all do get lonely including teachers.

if you care about him, never bring this to his attention. he could lose his career and possibly go to jail if you two were to ever have a dating type relationship. if you two are truly soul mates and are destined to be togethr then when you become of age go back and visit. he could just be a really good mentor and does care about you. he could be feeling the same way you are feeling, but this is a bad situation. having a crush on your teacher is not unusual. lots of students have crushes on their teachers but acting on this could be extremely dangerous for both of you.

Being a "big flirt" with your high school student IS crossing the line. But that doesn't mean he's some kind of pervert. Men get lonely, and high school girls are pretty. The guy just needs a girlfriend.
