Is it wrong to have a crush on....

[ToTheNextChapter]

....my child's primary school teacher?!

It's ridiculous actually......this huge crush has come out of nowhere and I can't stop thinking about him 😳.
Now I feel as though I'm blushing when he speaks to me - I'm in my 40's for gods sake (and he is much younger 😬)!

It's likely because I've just split with my H and this teacher has been so supportive to my daughter, my emotions are everywhere at the moment. But the distraction is very welcome if nothing else!

@Smartsub is that in teaching?
To be honest he's quite new to teaching and probably just inexperienced and didn't see any harm in it.
I'd love to think it's because he wanted me to contact him but obviously not 😂

That is so lovely 😊. Getting completely ahead of myself here but even if I started dating, men at 30 or thereabouts who perhaps want children would not look twice at a woman my age as I couldn't give them that future. Sadly!

@SweeneyToddFlyingSquad 😂😂 I must admit I thought I was missing something on your reply there!

I’m a teacher and if we have to call parents off a mobile, we have to withhold the number even if it’s one of the school’s mobiles.
If he has given you his number in that way then it’s incredibly unprofessional.

I’ve lost count of how many parents have misconstrued me being professional as us being friends. He’s nice to your daughter because he’s a good teacher. He’s nice to you because that’s his job. Please don’t be that parent.

I looked at it and thought I was missing a few screws ...can't even remember what I was reading for that reply...unfortunately I'm back in the pub so will try and behave myself 😇

@STARCATCHER22 oh god I definitely don't want to be that parent. I am 99% sure he is being friendly and it's his job, there is that 1% with that look he gave me but that was probably as I don't usually dress that way.

A lot of the teachers in our school are Facebook friends with parents (not him), so I think they're probably more relaxed about things such as withholding mobile numbers. He most definitely told me "you have my number now if there is anything else".
I told a male teacher friend of mine at the time and he did think it a bit strange.

@SweeneyToddFlyingSquad ha ha I love it, always the sign of a good night! Enjoy the pub!

Yes, in school.

If the school's halfway properly run, they will have covered this in briefings to staff when they first went remote.

I have a crush on my son's teacher too, he use to come out talking to me about my son every pickup time me (son has extra needs) but the past couple of weeks that seems to have stopped a d it's like he's avoiding me, it's like he knows I have a crush on him 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Justmeand3 ahhh no!! That's what I want to avoid at all costs, that's why I'm a bit worried in case he realises I've looked at his Facebook page 😱.

I have a meeting scheduled with him at the end of the summer term, I honestly don't know how I'm going to stop my heart from racing!! It's bad isn't it!

@Smartsub I don't think he was actually working as a teacher at the start of pandemic so maybe he missed that memo!! He's probably rang most of the parents and inadvertently given everyone his personal number.

Oh bless, you're determined to make excuses for him, but if he did his training and induction since technology became such a part of out lives and during the pandemic, he will definitely have had the memo 😆

@Smartsub yes I suppose! He also mentioned to me in conversation about my DD's friends parents splitting up so maybe he's just unprofessional! 😬

Well he is no longer showing up in my Facebook friends suggestions so he has obviously removed me from his friends suggestions list. I am absolutely mortified 😱😱.
Although I'm hoping he'll just think I appeared there due to us having some mutual friends!

Facebook alters friend suggestions anyway, regardless of what you or he might have done OP. There’s loads of things they factor in - whether a person has been in touch with someone you know recently or visited somewhere on your “likes” list, etc, etc. I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion he’s necessarily personally removed you.

@TossCointoYerWitcher thank you, that makes me feel a bit better!
It's just odd he was at the top of my friends suggestions for days and now isn't even on the long list of suggestions. I can still see his profile so doesn't look like he's blocked me maybe just doesn't want my face popping up as a suggestion.
