I have a crush on my old professor and don’t know what to do! About a year ago I had a class with an amazing professor. He was a good teacher and very attractive. He is funny, smart and kind of nerdy, which I like. He and I talked a few times after class about our personal lives, just family and friend kind of things. He was always very nice but it seemed strictly business. He’s not married and I don’t think he has ever been (I’m not trying to break up a marriage). There are a couple of “problems”. I’m 25 and he is 40, this doesn’t bother me at all but I don’t know if it would bother him. He was my professor and I don’t know if he will always see me as a student even though I no longer attend that college. I’m not in love with him or anything crazy like that, just a crush. I would just like to get to know him better and see where that goes. In the coming months I have to go back to my former school and take one last class and I know I will see him. I want to tell him how I feel but I’m afraid. I don’t know what to say or how to say it. The worst he could say is no but I don’t want to look stupid. I would just like some advice on what I should do or whether this is just a bad idea.
