I answer all his questions in class and talk to him as much as possible and one day I've even told him that he looked nice. He's a very hard marker, he's very sardonic, his jokes are cruel and bitter, and he's overall very eccentric. I love how he teaches. I grasp to his every word. I don't think of him in an inappropriate way, mind you. He's married, and I don't dream of being together with him and certainly I don't fancy him sexually. I just really admire him and how he teaches.I really want to tell him that I love him and admire him a lot. How should I go about doing this?Also, he's leaving this year, and it literally brings tears to my eyes to think about how I'll never get to see him again. How can I keep my correspondence with him?Thank you so much to anyone that can help!

 Well, if people know you have a crush on him it's nothing to worry about, you just need to remember nothing can happen between the two of you, it is normal to get a crush on a teacher though, most people go through that phase.
If you think he knows and he hasn't said anything about it, then this just confirms nothing can happen other than a teacher - student relationship between you two

If i were you i wouldn't say that you love him, it'd give him the wrong impression, as you said he's married and you have no desire to be with him, so love is a bit too strong of a word to say.
Admiring him is okay, and i'm sure if you said to him before he leaves that he was a very good teacher and you admired the way he teached he'd be very happy about this.
Considering he's your teacher, it's best to forget about staying in contact with him after he leaves, you may only get more into him if you do this.
People come in and out of peoples lives and it's a lesson we all have to learn, so atleast if you lose him now..it won't be as bad as if your feelings become more than what they already are
Good luck, Krissy
