OMG! I Have a Crush on a Teacher, What Should I Do?

Hi Katie,
I just turned 18 and am a senior in highschool. I have a crush on a teacher, but he is NOT currently my teacher, he teaches freshmen and I am a senior.
Is it okay to date a teacher if they’re not “your” professor?
How do I know if it’s against the school guidelines, or it’s the same in all schools? And if it is ok, how do I approach him?
He’s not married and there’s a little age difference, he is in his mid 20′s. ~Megan

Dear Megan,
Is he into you too? If you really like him and you think that he has similar feelings, you should follow your heart. But take it slow and get to know each other better before you rush into anything.
Just take it day by day and see what happens….if you start dating and it gets more serious you should discuss with him if there are any consequences for student/teacher dating in highschool. You don’t want to jeopardize his career or yours….so if you are a senior then you should be graduated soon and maybe then you can be in a more serious relationship then.
I do know a girl who dated one of her teachers in college (different than highschool but I think is relevant) and they have been together 3 years now and just got engaged (she just graduated last spring)…but their relationship is still kept very “hush, hush” and not a lot of people know, especially at the school, so that tells me that there are probably some rules that discourage or maybe even forbid it.
But if you really like this guy a lot, like I said before you should follow your heart, it may end up being love. Just don’t jeopordize his or your future careers…it may be best to wait a year until you graduate and see then if you still have the same feelings.
xoxo Katie
