Joking around or an actual teacher crush?

Question - (22 February 2010) 7 Answers - (Newest, 5 March 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Okay, so there is this teacher at my high school. He is in his late 20s and I've known him for 3 years now. He was my world geo teacher in ninth grade, and that first semester everything seemed okay, I wasn't attracted to him and he obviously didn't notice me. But after the Christmas break I found him somewhat attractive, and he started the innocent picking and teasing, asking me the same question about four times in one class period for over a month. This continued into the next year when one of my best friends had him for the same class. We stayed after and talked to him before band practice and he would pick and all, but nothing really ever meant anything to me.

One day my friend and I were talking to him and she suddenly had to leave, but not without saying 'i have to go catch my bus, but you two can keep on flirting.' he nor I were fazed by this, but he seemed to smile and get the oh so famous twinkle in the eye. Soon after soccer started up and I didn't have time to stay after. Now I'm in 11th grade. I switched out of band class and was put in his psychology class. From the first day he stared at me for at least a minute with no point, then started the nicks. Starting with changing my last name in his grade book and all he continues to call me by the wrong last name. It ranges from the correct last name to gazebo, gall stones, gall bladder, and occasionally my first name if he is being serious. When we are in group activities he tends to migrate toward the area I am in and stay there, or I could look up and see him staring at me, and he would smile and walk back towards me. He constantly comes back to the computer, which is located right behind me, to check the time while he wears a watch every day. He will find something wrong with me one day and pick on me about it to just staring for countless minutes. When we watch movies he sits at the computer desk and pops his knuckles in my ears, snap his fingers in my ears, throw paper at me, or tell me to be quiet and watch the movie when I'm not even talking. After signing up for my senior classes I found out I will have him at least two more times next year.

I think this is all just harmless fun, but my friends say that he likes me and my slight feelings for him make me agree. What do you all think?? I enjoy hid picking because it makes me feel as if he notices me, you know because I'm not the prettiest girl out here, and I love having him around because we have the same interests. Oh, occasionally he will slap me on my back, or my head when at the computer desk and ask me random questions. Do you all think he has a little something for me or do you agree with what I say and say it's just harmless tom foolery? Yes I pick back and he loves to tell me I do drugs and smoke just to pick. He drives me crazy but yet I think I'm falling for him.

Oh wow. Tuesday was full of fun in psychology class. He was beside me the whole time picking about the sudoku we were doing. He would get close to me and steal my paper then try to explain how to do the sudoku when i had completed it. He would smack me in the back or side when he wanted to talk to me instead of saying gallanger (what he calls me) or start complaining about nothing. He would interrupt my conversations with my best friend just to say something mean. I was talkig about the brats that lived behind me and how they tried to beat my dog with a stick. He said he'd rather beat me with a stick. Then he said that he hated jerks and they should be run over by cars. I was like 'that's nice' and he was like 'oh, not you, but if you do get run over, it'll mostly be by a jeep.' he drives a jeep. How great is this? I enjoyed the class so much because he was cracking me up by being stupid and staring at me when I made fun of him. I think I have officially fallen in love, which sucks.

Regardless of what you might feel you can't do anything about it. I'm sure we all had a crush on a teacher at some point but we left it at that. He might tease you and pick on you all the time but it doesn't really mean he likes you that way. And if he does he knows he can't do anything because he will lose his job. So is it harmless yes it is. As long as he doesn't touch you inappropiately and doesn't say anything he knows he's not suppose to say then it's fine. But as a precaution try not to be alone with him. People do get the wrong idea if they see you two alone.

Miamine agony auntHe's just having fun. Like you said, you share the same intrests and the same sense of humour. Teachers do that sometimes. I knew several male teachers who treated me like this, probably because I'm very serious and also have a bad temper. They loved to tease me, and they didn't seem to treat anyone else like this. I hated it all, they knew this and knew I wanted to physical punch them and kick them down. All fun and games at school. Teachers are human and they get bored, sometimes they like to act the clown with someone who they feel friendly with. I wish teachers would all grow up, they did this even when I was older and studying.

There are no signs here of any attraction or any romantic behaviour from your teacher. He's just being a normal stupid teacher and trying to make everyone laugh.
