To be mortified that I've developed a crush on DS's teacher

[GuiltyPleasure]

This is meant to be lighthearted & any inappropriate thoughts will most definitely remain in my head. No intention of acting on it!
DS has SEN & last week his teacher came to my rescue when DS had an incident after school. Since then I've developed a massive crush on him. Teacher is a good 10yrs younger than me & in every way physically is not my type & I'm 100% sure, even if he were, he would have no interest in me.
Today at pick-up he put his hand on my arm to get my attention to speak to me & I blushed like a teenager. I sincerely hope he didn't notice!
I'm entirely blaming it on peri menopausal hormones!
I'm wondering whether to just enjoy it for what it is, a bit of harmless, slightly erotic fantasy or whether I should avoid him at all costs till the hormones abate for fear of making a fool of myself?!

Have you a partner OP?

I do, but after 20 + years it's become a platonic relationship. We haven't had sex for at least 5 years. But we are a good parenting team & neither of us would ever consider an affair, either emotional or physical. This is seriously just a ridiculous school-girl crush!

Enjoy it! 😁

Ohhhhh love a good unexpected crush. They usually end as quickly as they start. My last was my DS basketball coach. I went to very match and gaining session for 2 months and then one game I saw him wipe his nose on his sleeve then examine it afterwards. What an uncouth knuckle dragger. Killed it stone dead. DH goes now and tries to tell me he's an alright bloke, I don't know why you don't like him. Ha.

... then one game I saw him wipe his nose on his sleeve then examine it afterwards ...

hahahaha! omgomg.
in tears.

OP - just enjoy it, don't make a point to avoid. That would be more awkward, and would be giving it too much meaning. (For now, anyway.)
And keep us posted.
