So, this thread is aptly named after a song by Sting and The Police, mainly because it totally explains how I feel right now. Just thought I'd explain.

Anyway, on with the actual problem....

I'm 14, and I think I'm in love with my Science teacher.

I know, I know - you've heard it all before right? But just hear me out.

I've NEVER had a crush on a man I knew before, in fact I really only ever fancied a couple of boys my age and then about a BILLION celebrities (Most of whom are old enough to be my father, a couple even my grandfather). Because there are so many, one might say that I just fall for people easily; and its no doubt true. So, whats the difference between my liking the celebrities and liking my teacher?

Huge.

For starters; I've had these feelings for my teacher for over a year - and when it comes to my celeb crushes I usually drift from one to the other. This hasn't happened with my teacher; he's all I ever think about.

He's not exactly 'Hottie' material - he must be in his 30's and he's slightly overweight. These two things adding up means that all of the girls I know would never even CONSIDER falling for him. But I have.

Now, I'm not mad- I don't hold any hopes of being whisked away by him into the sunset in the middle of the lesson. (Well, I do - but I think that way with all my crushes....I just mean that I don't think that anything will come of this).

I know that when I fall, I fall hard; but part of me feels like its his fault. He tripped me. All he ever does in lessons is stare at me, and he's constantly calling people by my name - even a couple of boys. If I miss a day of school and we're marking an old exam or something, he searches for me to tell me my grade, and is always telling me how disappointed he was that he couldn't see my reaction himself when I got back.

Perhaps he just knows about my feelings for him (Although I wouldn't know how he would have found out) and is trying to be nice?

Maybe he knows about me suffering from Clinical Depression (All of my teachers were informed) and feels sympathetic?

I just don't know what to do anymore, its as if he's intentionally fueling the fire. But then he doesn't seem like a pervert at all, he's a really nice guy and we have TONS in common. And what if he's unintentionally doing it? If its the latter then I won't be able to get him to stop without him finding out.

I've thought a billion times about talking to him about it, but I know that would just make it awkward for the both of us - not to mention somebody is bound to find out and blow it up to huge non-existent proportions so it sounds like we're lovers or something. (Believe me, thats what people at my school do).

My friends suggested writing a letter....I've always been far better at writing my feelings down rather than saying them. What if I gave one to him at the end of school? Or got one of my friends too? Would explaining my feelings to him ruin everything for me?

I'm totally out of my depth here, I'm so confused. I mean, my feelings for him are so strong and so strange that if he turned up on my doorstep and asked me to run away with him, forgo-ing my old life then I would. I honestly and truly would. I know I'm overly romantic, I always have been - I spend all my time waiting for 'The One'. And now that I've found someone who seems so wonderful and is so much like me, he's probably 20 years older than me and a teacher!

I just need help. I know nothing will ever come out of it. But I guess I just need advice on how to try and forget about him....or else whether or not to write to him and explain myself. Forgetting him would be difficult, I see him everyday...not to mention I'm totally one for the 'Absence makes the heart grow stronger'. And as for the letter? I don't know if I'd have the nerve to actually give it to him, I mean....I've written things to and about him before...but never with the intention of actually letting him read them.

Both options seem futile.

I need help before I go crazy! This whole situation is doing nothing for me, and is now making my depression worse. Please help!

I wouldn't tell him. It'd probably fuck up your whole lesson.

My physics teacher's like that to me. Except I'm a guy, and she just wants to fuck me lol.

I agree, you really shouldn't tell him, it'd cause to many complications as for getting over him, thats down to you and it might happen fast it may not.

is she hott.

dont tell him
try to forget about it seeing as its likely that its against his contract for him to do owt even when ur 16

She's below my MILF standard :/.

Hard to find good MILFS.

but would u "do" her for fun.

yeah, all the hott ones are in porn videos.
