To have a ^huge^ crush on DCs teacher...

Because I feel like I'm going a bit mental...

Am (happily) married and definitely wouldn't act on it, btw.

When I first met DC's new teacher I remember thinking 'mmm he's quite yummy' but then thought no more of it. Fast forward to about a month ago and DCs class put on a show, and afterwards the parents had the chance to look around the class at the costumes, etc they'd made. I couldn't help noticing that DCs teacher seemed to single me out a bit and kept chatting to me - and stood a bit closer than 'normal' - and had very twinkly smiley eyes.... And pathetic as it sounds, having been married a loooooooong time, I enjoyed the attention from another man and (possibly) was a bit flirty.

Since then I've definitely caught him looking over at me morning & afternoon in the playground - and last week after school he came over and started chatting to me - conversation was something like

him: 'hello how are you'

me: 'Oh no, what's she (DD's name) done?' (laughing)

him: 'oh nothing, (she's) doing great - I just saw you standing here shiverring away and thought I'd come and say hi'

blah blah blah....

When he talks to me he definitely has a flirty twinkle in his eye and there is alot of eye contact and smileyness.

The problem is though, why can't I just think 'ooh this is nice' and then forget it and get on with my day? Why have I (over the last few days) found myself thinking about him all the time, playing sloppy songs on my ipod and generally acting like a 15 year old when i fancied George Michael?

I would never cheat on my DH, I love him and the thought of anyone coming between us (on either side) is devastating. So what's wrong with my head? And am I just reading too much into his friendly-ness anyway?

Someone slap me.

So, OP, what outfit are you wearing to school tomorrow?

Actinglikeateenager · 08/02/2012 13:52

Hands off Beer Grin

Matches - well this morning I was in too much of a rush to put my make up on so said goodbye to Dc at a safe distance from the classroom door. But have penciled in a 20 minutes slot this afternoon to put on my full warpaint before school run this afternoon. Actually your post made me blush because I admit that yesterday I perilously wore my high leather boots with my skinny jeans, rather than wellies like everybody else....

So did you go looking like a desperate housewife? Grin

thepeoplesprincess · 08/02/2012 20:16

Completely agree his fancie;s you too. My mate has a theory that you only get that awkward tingly chemistry with men who're feeling it just as much and I tend to believe it.

TrinityRhino · 08/02/2012 21:32

Peopleprincess, hmm could be true but I know that my neighbour fanicies me but there is NO chemistry whatsoever Grin

actinglikeateenager · 09/02/2012 10:28

Hmm well actually I felt a bit Blush after posting on here so couldn't look him in the eye yesterday and this morning. Still made sure I had my war paint and boots on though Grin

Interesting - I honestly think that he was being twinkley to me first. Honestly, I would never usually start being flirty with a teacher, but I'm sure he was like it with me and then it was catching. Does that excuse me?

Have you thought how tedious it must be, if you are the poetic velvet jacket type, to spend most of the day with small people who can't appreciate your dress sense and twinkly eyes.

He must be absolutely busting by home time to have a little poetic twinkle with a sympathetic soul.

Enjoy it but don't take it too seriously, you won't be the only one he is having a little twinkle at!

farewellfigure · 09/02/2012 14:05

Ooh I love a good flirt. I haven't had someone to flirt with for ages (other than DH). It's good for you. Obviously I'd never do anything about it.

I hope my DS's first teacher is all poetic and velvety and twinkly. Hmmm. Yummy.

I snogged the man I have been flirting outrageously with for months, last night. Fuck me, it was delicious Smile.

It's all good fantasy fodder!

InappropriateCrushes · 09/02/2012 15:10

Yes, but he's not my DP Shock
He's my huge crush.
And he is huge Wink

Mumof1plustwins · 09/02/2012 20:31

That's very inappropriate!

TheScarlettPimpernel · 09/02/2012 21:00

Grin at the thread being killed by an actual inappropriate snog....

MNers are so deliciously moral

Fairyliz · 09/02/2012 21:54

Oh go on teenager. I work at a school and it gives us right laugh in the staffroom seeing the mums swooning over our poetic velvet
Teacher. He always bats his eyelashes and looks innocent when we accuse him of flirting with the yummy mummies.

Popbiscuit · 09/02/2012 22:02

Ugh! OP!

Feel flattered and forget it. No good will come of entertaining these thoughts. You'll have a guilty conscience and behave sheepishly everytime you encounter him, even if nothing transpires. LET IT GO.

tigerlillyd02 · 10/02/2012 02:16

Crushes are surely normal aren't they? If not, I'm in trouble Grin

As long as you don't act upon them of course, I don't see the problem. :)
