I have a crush on my teacher..!

Regardless, I would advise to stay away from the teacher, could get him in a lot of trouble.

Before giving any advice, may I ask some background questions?

How old are you?
Are you in high school or college? I am unfamiliar with what 'individual' and it would help me if you explained what that class is.
How long have you been one of his students?

Thank you.

I'd say he might be sharing a bit too much about his personal life. There is a line between being friendly with a student and sharing too much personal information.....too many details.
Is he open this way with other students or just you? It may be his personality, but he does need to be careful that he doesn't cross that line.

Many students will develop a crush on a teacher, but it is important to remember that that is all it is....or all it should be.

I agree with mmresd....best to keep this strictly teacher/student. If he doesn't, you will have to. If he becomes too comfortable, and starts to treat you more as a friend, he may say more than he should and I'm sure you don't want him to get into any trouble.

This could also effect your reputation as well if other people start to feel there is any sort of favoritism going on.

Let this crush pass, because its normal, but gets real tacky and inappropriate if you act in any other way than instructor/student. Don't cross that line.

Thanks guys, I do think that I should let this crush pass but obviously I cant do it immediately now..

@cat1864 well he is my tutor.. I have him twice a week and it's been already more than a month.. I'm 17 n' gonna finish high skool in 2 months

May I offer you congratulations on graduating in a couple of months?

There are things you can do now to let the 'crush' go.

Stop discussing personal matters with him. Keep discussions limited to your work.

What you have is young teacher who doesn't know how to set boundary lines with his students. He is acting like he is still in high school. If he doesn't learn how to distance himself from the teens he is teaching, he may end up in some seriously hot water.

You sound like you have your head on straight. Accept that he is off-limits for several reasons and go about your life. It will be easier if you start thinking of him in the same way you do the most 'professional' teacher in the school. When you start thinking of him as a 'friend' bring up thoughts of teachers who you are convinced have no lives outside of the school. Mentally put him in his proper place. It will help.

Good luck.

Also do be careful sadly not all "nice" teachers are are harmless as they may appear. At 17, he may have ideas that are not proper also, not for any long term, but till his next student next year.
