You have been extremely nasty on this thread Chai, and for no good reason. That girl is almost a child, for heavens sake. If you had the slightest amount of emotional intelligence you would not behave like that.
Almost a child?
Are you kidding? She's a college student saying she attracted to a teacher. That's not a child.
If she's acting like a child when she's an adult that's her own damn fault.
As I said in a previous post, I'm sick and tired of people acting stupid, saying nonsense, not answering direct questions, switching stories around to suit their needs, behaving like a helpless infant, and behaving that way because it's been successful in the past. Give me help, but I'm not going to tell you everything, I prefer to be the coy ingenue. I'll play dumb and only answer part of your post, and not a direct question, until forced too, then I'll be annoyed. Then I'll tell you that you don't have to respond to me, and go away because you're forcing me to respond like an adult and not an innocent victim.
The fact is, in almost every case, it's a terrible idea to become attracted to a college professor if you are a student.
They get dozens of girls that crush on them every semester, the unscrupulous professors can take advantage of whomever they please, and will move onto the next batch of student the following semester.
For the professor, it's a resoving door of young women (or vice versa if the professor is a woman) knocking on his door during office hours, staying behind after class to chat him up, each thinking they could be something special to him.
This is a common occurence as we all know when there is a disparity in power. It just doesn't happen between teachers and students, but between patients and their therapists, doctors and other people where there is a difference in status. It's an occupational hazard for these people.
In all likelihood, this woman will find someone much more approprite to her romantic feelings within the next year, like a fellow student, and this teacher will be a memory.
There, that's helpful advice, just not what the OP wants to hear.
