I have a crush on my professor what should I do?
Mama Luv: It’s normal to have a crush on your professor. You don’t know how many times I have heard about this! After all, intelligence can be very attractive. However, they are ultimately your professor which means that things should be kept professional. It is, of course, fine to crush on them - you’ll enjoy class a lot more! But Mama Luv would suggest not making any advances because it can cause unwanted issues in the future. While you have this crush, keep your chin up, strut with confidence, and shake what your mama gave ya! Mama Luv is here to help.
Nicky: To avoid getting them in trouble, I would advise staying professional with them during the semester(s) in which you are their student. However, I am not completely opposed to the idea of pursuing a possible relationship after you are no longer their student. That being said, I wouldn’t suggest this if the circumstances would be highly disapproved of by your parents. (For example, large age difference, they are married, etc.) Be very careful, this is crossing dangerous territory and your heart may be on the line.
Clarissa: Finding a professor attractive is not uncommon! However, acting upon your feelings may get messy. At many universities, there are strict policies that prevent students and faculty from having relationships, even after you are no longer taking their classes. There could be serious consequences, including your professor losing their job. There’s no harm in enjoying a great view though, so for now, I would suggest admiring from a safe distance but try not to get too distracted to do well in class. At the same time, you can try to distract yourself with hobbies or by spending more time with friends and other students. Who knows, you may find a new interest among your peers. Good luck!
