writes:I live in a city where almost everyone dreams of making it out. It's not exactly the best environment to grow up in but I did. Almost six years ago, while attending an all girls academy, I fell for someone who I thought would never mean as much to me as he does now. He was my history teacher. I didn't tell him how I felt until I was 18 and out of high school. (I attended a different school in senior year by the way) I emailed him and his response was expected - professional but also a bit cold. Well, that was almost two years ago and I'm still unable to get him out of my head. I know that he would never want me so getting over him is my only option. (He's 48, married, with a three year old kid)I might be moving at the end of the summer to a different state. I think it would be a good thing for me. There are many different spots in the city that remind me of him and cause me to think about him more. I'm not moving just so I can escape the memories because I'd still think about him regardless of where I am. I'm moving for university. What do you guys think? Wiil this move help me get over him?

 Your teachers response was not cold. It was PROFESSIONAL to remove any emotion or trace that his feelings could be returned.
Darling, he is MARRIED and UNAVAILABLE. If you are still obsessed on him, figure out what charachterics drew you to him. Looks, intelligence, humour? Those are qualities to look for in a single, AVAILABLE male.
You can not escape memories that you concocted in your own mind and fantasies. I think being realistic about the situation and perhaps some counseling to talk about your feelings. Start living new dreams!
Best Wishes.
