alice595 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 i feel silly writing about this, but i need to get it off my chest. i got a new maths professor this year. i had seen him around a few times last year and we said hi to eachother sometimes but that was it. he's in his 40s (single) and im 27 (also single) anyway, we get on really well and have ran into eachother on campus a few times and made small talk, nothing to do with the subject but innocent enough. i admit i have had a bit of a crush on him before, but i dont think ive made it obvious. ive never approached him, he has always approached me to talk. thing is, this last month or so, he has been way more friendly than usual. im fine with that, but one morning last week he leaned against me (like pressed up against my back) to reach a book from the shelf in front. i could be reading too much into that but he couldve just asked me to move out of the way. ever since then though i have felt like im in high school. i keep blushing every time he says anything to me and its making me feel SO stupid. i dont even know why im blushing, its ridiculous. i dont even want to go to the lesson anymore because i feel like im making a bigger idiot of myself every time i go. but he keeps talking to me about anything and everything and i can feel myself burning up each time. is it possible he did notice i had a crush on him and is now just amusing himself? i dont know what to think. it feels stupid at my age to feel like this.
Mrlonelyone Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 He probably does like you on some level but. If he were to date you while you were his student it would be a problem. I suggest that you approach him in a private way and tell him how you feel. Then when you are not his student anymore, and if your both still interested, you can date then.
CaptJay Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I agree. And it's unlikely he is just "humoring himself." There doesn't seem to be anything suggesting something other than cute flirting at this point. Ask him for coffee after the semester ends.

I agree. And it's unlikely he is just "humoring himself." There doesn't seem to be anything suggesting something other than cute flirting at this point. Ask him for coffee after the semester ends. i guess it would be easier when im not his student anymore. at least i wont have trouble avoiding him afterwards if he says no!!

I know just what you are feeling. When the time is right you will know what to say. One more piece of advice. Only talk to this man if you want something serious. They say "don't **** where you eat" for a reason. Only make a move if you have serious and enduring feelings for this man. 2
