brightrose Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Awkward: Adult with serious feelings for teacher!? I am a 30-year old female who takes music lessons with an older man (he's about 50). I feel stuck as I've developed a "crush" on him that feels serious (I don't develop crushes easily, either). I DO NOT want to risk harming our student/teacher relationship. It's a bit of a dilemma for me, I could just continue going on ignoring what I feel, but I feel that I want to get to know him better to see if there's something there (he is not married, but I'm not certain if he's romantically involved with anyone). I feel rather silly since I am PAYING him to spend time with me at this point! (Oh, my!) I almost want to make my feelings known, but I'm afraid he doesn't share the same feelings and that would create great awkwardness. He could think of me as a child because of the age difference or he could be pleasantly surprised to know a young lady feels this way. What would you do in this situation? Please, I'm open to any advice you have! Thanks!!!
