writes: [OP original title]My AP US History teacher is very friendly with everyone, but he seems to be a little extra friendly with certain girls, including me. He's extremely attractive, and I wouldn't mind going for it, but I don't want to make things awkward. He's 24, I'm 16. One day he asked if it was the first time I wore my hair up, I replied yes, do you like it? He said it looked lovely. We are different in a lot of ways. He likes the Yankees and UK. I like the Red Sox and WVU. We give each other a hard time over it. He'll ask me to help him out for things after school, or we'll just hang out in class during our lunch period and talk. Is he just being friendly, or should I go for it? I find it to be extremely hot.

Yes, he really is flirting. It is normal for you two to be attracted to each other and not "wrong" in any way. Part of the attraction is because realistically you know the chances of anything happening are slim. And it should stay that way. A little harmless flirting might result in unwanted attention directed at the two of you from nosy/jealous people. Anything beyond that can result in far worse, including possible criminal prosecution against him.
A normal 24 year old man looks at 16 year old girls and finds plenty of them to be pretty, because they are. But a 24-year-old man with a satisfying romantic life does not flirt with them because of the complications involved and the social stigma.

There's one catch: he seems to be happily married. That's why he confuses me.

DO NOT EVEN TRY IT. No good can ever come from student/teacher relationships. No offence but, you are only a sixteen year old, you are going to change a lot. This is not the best time to be in a relationship with a mature man. What LLindy87 said is true as well, it is illegal and chances are, you may get caught.
I hope that helps.

Sounds like he is into you, however this is wrong and you two could get in BIG trouble if you two get caught, said if anything happened between you two.
He could be sent to jail say if you two got sexual, lose his job if you two are even found being in a relationship and its just a lot of risk. Think about it first.
