You could say he's one of the more fun, "popular" teachers in my school; he likes to joke around with just about everyone in my class and my friends and I all think he's a pretty good teacher. But, recently I've been having some weird feelings about him. These are things I've noticed: when I pass him in the hall, he'll wink and smile at me, while teaching, he'll look in my direction/directly at me, then looks away if he catches me looking at him, lately he's been calling on me more in class, a few times when I've gone up to his desk and asked him a question(s), he'll lean back in his chair, away from his laptop, spread his legs out from under the table, put his arms back behind his head, and rock the chair back and forth (in a sexual/disgusting way), and smiles at me the entire time while doing this, he likes to walk around the classroom a lot and it seems like he comes over by my desk/general area too much, which makes me feel like he wants to know what I'm doing, or just wants to simply look at me, and finally... when we work in pairs/groups, I'm usually with one of my friends, and he knows we kinda laugh/talk/get off task too easily when doing the group project things, so he'll make sure to come over by us and if he's not leaning on my friend's desk, it's mine. (He usually has his arms on the desk, while his body is "hovering" over it, so I feel like he's literally in my face when talking with us) This is not just my imagination; these things have happened and are leading me to becoming self-conscious in his class. I'd appreciate any advice on what to do and how to ignore his actions. Thanks.

The man may harbor some inappropriate thoughts...who knows. Although the first post has some valid points to consider. If he is "noticing" you unduly, then be sure ingore him at all costs. Don't allow his mind to think you are interested.If you don't you may find yourself at the end of a scandal. If it gets worse and he touches you or says something terrible, you might need to flat out say, "Do that again and you lose your career." I guarantee you he'll stop.
God Bless
