writes:I have a new teacher this year who is 24 and has a very friendly open personality. The type that is often more of your friends and discusses DS games.Up until a few weeks ago he has always being nice to me, since then he has been very distant, but only towards me, the other students can see it too. He used to run a club once a week at lunchtime, in the beginning there were other students as well as me that came to it; but now it's just me. After a session he realized that I was going to be the only one there, and stopped running it. He didn't say anything, he just stopped turning up.A few weeks ago it was his bday, I bought him a card and got everyone in the 3 classes that he teaches to sign it. When I gave it to him he didn't say anything. Around about the start of that week he started being distant towards me. After I gave him the card he became extra distant.Now he avoids me and acts differently towards me. I have told a few of my friends this and they say that he thinks I like him. But I don't. They suggest that I be distant towards him. But that is going to be a problem, as the seating plan puts me in the front row and I ask questions all the time.So how can I make it obvious that I don't like him? Should I just tell him? Or will that work in reverse psychology? What should I do to stop him from thinking I like him?I can tell that he thinks I like him. I can see the signs because I've been through this twice with past teachers, and the problem got so bad that I ended up moving schools several times. Reply to this Question

 perhaps just pretend hes not there except for class time. just go through your days as normal, when you see him in the halls, just pass him and dont say anything to him. im sure if you just act normally and not talk to him too often, it will pass in time. good luck with this! i know how you feel...its tough.

 hmmm... that's tough. you may not be able to be physically distant, but you can be emotionally distant, ie. not being particularly friendly (but not rude either... just neutral).i'm not sure what else to tell you though...what were you normally like with him? talkative? shy?

All you need to do is remember that he is your teacher. Just be a student. Ask questions if you have to, do your work and get on with it. Lots of luck.
