I Am Attracted To My Professor

I am very attracted to one of my professors and want to let him know that I’m interested. I smile at him a lot in class and try to hang around after class to start up conversation. I’m afraid of being too forward about my interest for fear that he is not, then I’ll have to live with the embarrassment the rest of the class. What can I do?

Unless you want to behave by the no risk no reward principle then you’ve probably already done all you can do. Sounds like you’ve risked up to your comfort level. If you do more you may be able to get a definitive answer, but at the risk of exposure. Perhaps if you wait til the course is almost over then you could be more direct with less repercussions.

    I would not pursue a relationship with a professor. He is in a different place in life than you are. You should look more at finding someone around your own age. If you are typically attracted to older men then more than likely you are really looking for someone who is “more together” than guys your own age. But know this…they are out there. There are guys your own age (or maybe a little older) that are “more together” than you think. Date someone you usually wouldn’t…someone in the Chess club; or robotics club. Someone a little geeky. You might be pleasantly surprised. A lot of guys who don’t go out with many girls are less selfish and more giving and together.
