writes:I have begun to think of my martial art master in a romantic way. He is kind, generous, and giving. In martial arts we show respect and have trust relationship with our teacher/master. I know he is treating me just like all of his adult students but it is a warmth I do not have outside of the dojo. I can not pursue a relationship because he is married and his integrity is one of the things I admire. I should quit his school and go elsewhere, but I don't know how to do that without revealing the reason. I love his school and he is an excellent teacher. Any advice? Reply to this Question

 You can admire him without being romantically involved with him. I don't think quitting his class would be beneficial for you. You have a crush on a teacher, if this were high school and people could quit because of crushes, I couldn't image how many transfer forms would be submitted. Keep in mind this is a professional relationship, that's all it will be, and that you're learning what you need to in his class.
