Shall I just try to get over him? Technically he's not my teacher.

Question - (1 March 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 1 March 2011)
A female Ireland age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I know it sounds like one of the usual "I'm in love with my teacher" scenarios blah blah, but just listen and help if you can.

I'm a fresher (first year) in college and I'm studying Spanish as part of my degree. We're taught languages in small classes, so we know our teachers pretty well.

One day, my usual teacher wasn't in so we had one of the other Spanish teachers substituting. There was something about this guy - I was literally unable to speak or even think!

Anyway, I think he might have noticed this, but he didn't do anything.

A few weeks later, he was actually a student in our class for two days to go over some part of the syllabus for his degree. I noticed him looking at me a lot during this time.

And when he was introducing himself for others who were absent the day he was teaching, he seemed to be speaking to just me.

I really like this guy even though I'm not sure why, but I'd like to get to know him a bit more.

What I want to know is, what can I do about this?

We're both students and he's not even my teacher, so can I let my feelings be known or do I have to just get over it?

i think if hes posing as a teacher, in some sense this would be inappropriate. so i think you should just let this 'crush' pass by, as it is not as if you really like him.

I would imagine the law is pretty much the same everywhere, which, simply put, is:

"Any person looking after a minor (under 18) and in a position of trust/authority can't have a relationship with that minor/student etc."

If he is a student, that's one thing. But if he's acted as a teacher, that's another. Better to let him go rather than risk anything.
