Free Safety Signs - I love my teacher, she's a female, and so am i, help!?

I love my teacher, she's a female, and so am i, help!?

I've had a major crush on my art's teacher since early 9th grade. she had already been my teacher for a year. But then she quit her job for a job at the high school in my area. The 10th grade passed with another minor crush on my math teacher(male) but that passed quickly, but i still felt so sad because i weren't able to see my former art teacher anymore. I became depressed. My art teacher is not married(never became married), she'd 51 years old(typical) and she has children. I started high school, just to discover she worked in an other part of the school (it's split in three, each part lies approx 2-3 km away from another. But then i saw her again! She stood outside my school, she were there for a fire safety information meeting with her class. I was so happy, i made up an excuse for why i went outside the school(to meet my friend that hadn't arrived yet, our class didn't start for an other 30 minutes) I came outside, and she looked at me, but then continued her conversation.. she didn't recognize me, i said her name in a question like way, pretending i wasn't sure it was her. She turned around and her face lighted up, she seemed so happy so see me. My heart was racing, I just wanted to hug her and never let go(we had hugged three times in he past, once for some strange reason, the second when i gave her a good bye and we'll miss you letter signed by the entire class(my idea) and the third when i gave her something i had made myself) We talked, then when i was going to go because of my ridiculous excuse of having to wait for one of my friends, she complimented me, i had recently had a haircut and she said "You look cute with that haircut" That sentence made me so happy, and that really made my day, the next week, and the days following. If anything bad happened to her i would cry for days, and weeks. I think of her alot, and i really miss her.. I just wish i can forget about her and move on, but i cant.. What should i do?! Should i tell her my feelings?

do not pursue her. switch classes and forget about her. i know it seems impossible, but it will get easier and it's for the best.
daaayyymmn F*** reading all that
no move on
dude shes a teacher and youre only the student. do you really think you can have a relationship with her? find someone your own age.
get over it
Nope. Just let this one pass. You'll grow out of it, and talking to her won't be good for either of you. Sorry.
just do what your heart tells you to do if your really in love then take a chance!
yuk, her snatch is half a century years old. gross.
Hells no do not tell her you're "feelings." You dont love these people. you dont know them well enough. Your a teenager with raging hormones. Thats the answer. If anything you're obsessed, not in love or in a crush. Damn raging hormones cause alot of problems.
You neglected to give your age. If still a teen, forget it. Affairs with teachers are a no-no. Be it same, or opposite sex.
forget about her!
I don't really think it's a good idea to date your teacher/professor. Totally unethical to do. Just don't pursue her it's a waste of time.
You're probably confusing romantic feelings with intimate plutonic feelings. You might love her, but it's more like a mom then a lover. It'd be best just to forget about it, or tell her that you appreciate her or something. Don't go dropping your draws now.
I doubt your 51 year old teacher would suddenly turn into a lesbian and go out with one of her students. She'll probably send you to the guidance counselor if you tell her your feelings. And of course if anyone finds out about this you're going to be ridiculed for the rest of your life.
I think you should make other friends,
i think that your just a curious teenage girl that needs some real (reasonable) bf or gf. i think that liking teachers is very creepy but you need someone like a friend that you can trust to explain your feelings.
If you really love her you need to tell her how you feel. Trust me you will regret it your whole life if you just keep it inside of you. You gotta just let go girl. Just set your emotions and feelings free.
As it sounds to me your a lezbein, I think I spelled that wrong but anyway, theres nothing wrong with that. You should tell your closest friend to get if off your chest. Try to pay more attention in school and maybe you'll start to forget, I know you don't want to but its up to you to make the decision. Or you should get in a relationship to put your mind on other people and things. Hope this helps.
if you tell her sorry doesn't seem as though she feels the same, might make things awkward. But if your comfortable enough with you you probably should, it would help you move on hearing her response, maybe right her a letter. I think it would help to get it of your chest. Maybe the reason you're not moving on is because your confused about your sexuality? You need to figure out what you are and maybe look for any other girls that might like you. It does get easier, if shes nice and understanding i think you should tell her. Good luck x
sounds like you look at her like a mother figure,unfortunately i dont think there will ever be a friendship there as she's no longer at your school and following her around is to stalker/weird lol move on we all meet ppl in our life that that shape or change us sometimes its a life long relationship and other times its like passing ships in the night
Ok, you are in high school and this is a teacher. While I get the student/teacher crush thing, it is totally a bad idea. Wait until you are out of school to pursue the older women. My gf is 9 years older than me and we have the best time together. Please do not try to grow up too fast and please do not take your teachers complements out of context. She is being nice to you because she is a teacher and you are the student. I do not mean to sound harsh but that is a way that it is. Trust me, everything will come in time, even the ladies! BTW, Captian Morgan above is a Jack A$$. Don't even watse your time on that thought!!
yes you should tell her your feelings and get her answer ( good or bad ) and move on. Just manly get it of your chest
I think you are sick and you need help. Even though you are a lesbo, you should not be pursuing straight women. You have in depth issues that requires counseling. You probably have confused your art teacher's mentoring with your sexual desires because you probably were bored and never mingled were girls or boys your own age. You are looking for security, a safety blanket, like a mother figure. You found that with your teacher who is much older lady. That means you got issues. Pursuing some relationship like that is unhealthy and it damages lives esp yours. For example, Prince Charles pursue a relationship with a much older woman because his mother was too busy being the Queen of England.
Just move on! If you don't...Then you'll be asking for Trouble and I'm sure you don't want that.
Hey, everyone has a crush on their teacher sooner or later, but hey, you got to let it go. She doesn't need another kid to raise and she's old enough to be your grandmother. For heaven's sake, wake up. Keep your mouth shut if you want to remain friends with her, other words she could take your gesture as being a come on. Geez, just be glad you can be friends with her and quit dreaming of something that will never happen. Move on.
Here's my personal opinion. Age is only a number. I firmly believe that. I've met 16 year olds who are more mature than 29 year olds. HOWEVER, and this is a big however, there is a big legal issue here. Being a 10th grader, you must be 15-16 years old. Being that she is 51 years old, I personally feel the you doing anything or saying anything can lead to nothing but trouble! Here's the 2 scenarios; she blows you off, for whatever reason, maybe its the age thing, maybe shes not into girls, regardless of the reason you'll be crushed. Or, she share's this feeling with you and decides she will act on it, in which case, it will more than likely eventually get out that this is taking place and do to the legality of the situation, she get's arrested and thrown in jail. If this happens, you basically ruined her life due to the fact that she has to go to prison and than will forever be listed as a sex offender! Than she would have a real tough time finding another job after she finally got out of prison due to the fact that she's a sex offender. I can see nothing good coming out of you pursuing this. As sexual being's, we tend to have many desires, some healthy, some maybe not so much. It is up to us to be responsible and choose wisely as to which we want to act on. So my personal advise is to not act on this one, but ultimately it will be up to you. Good luck!
Ew. That's the weirdest story I have ever heard. What the heck is wrong with you?!?!
Sweetie, there is really nothing you can do but accept this for what it is and move on with your life. Its just a crush and it will pass in time. Even she was to say she liked you, do you realize how much trouble she would get into from this? It would cost her everything she's worked for. You should find yourself a boyfriend honey, that will help take her off your mind.
