Can teacher have a crush on a student?

Yes, if he/she is human it is both possible.

It is certainly possible but in no way can he act on it and possibly should remove himself from that student if at all feasible.

Can they? Sure. They can have a crush on a grapefruit…

Welcome to Fluther, Mandeblind. I’ll tackle your second question regarding the symptoms. Were I the teacher in the scenario you’ve painted, I’d certainly want to avoid the student. If you are the “her” in your question, you’ll want to do everything possible to remove yourself from situations that might lead to less than desirable outcomes.

^ so, if the teacher is acting as he is so devoted to his wife, that might also be a symptom? Like next to me, he kissed her on the cheek and said “darling”. maybe he wanted me to think he is a good innocent man?

Has it occurred to you that he is? (a good innocent man)

Can he? Yes.

Symptoms: Avoids getting up in class to prevent anyone seeing his bone… errrrr (may also have a hand under the desk and his arm seemingly jerking around)

Welcome to Fluther. I’m going to be blunt, but please don’t take this answer as unwelcoming – I just think it needs writing.

Could it be possible that you hope this teacher has a crush on you, and that you are looking for reasons to believe that it must be true, so that even quite apparent examples of his lack of interest in you are somehow magically turned into examples that he does, in fact, have a crush on you?

It’s lovely to daydream, but when the lines between fantasy and real life get blurred, you need to give yourself a few wake up calls.

Here’s proof it can and has happened: http://www.news10.net/news/article/181647/2/Modesto-teacher-former-student-discuss-affair

If a teacher is attracted to you, they should be professional, and treat you as any other student. If they offer you any favors or seek to spend time with you alone so they can try to be intimate, they will likely lose their job, if not end up in jail, depending on how old you are.

If you are flirting with him, he may well be attracted and yet at the same time, he is trying to tell you “no dice” by showing you how he feels about his wife. Please respect that. Don’t continue to flirt or try to get anything from him. It will probably end badly (at worst) and with him having to be mean to you (at best).

@Mandeblind If the teacher is acting like he is devoted to his wife, kissing her, calling her darlin’, that could be a cover-up. But, it’s really a good cover-up, because that’s also how people who are actually devoted to their wife act. Nothing here really seems to indicate that he has a crush on you, more than all the other possibilities. There are tons of reasons to avoid someone (and some of them aren’t actively avoiding someone, just sort of being actually busy all the time). I’m not really sure there’s much here.

i am writing a novel. nothing personal :)

If you’re writing a novel, look up news references to such situations. They are not infrequently in the news and you’ll get some real information.

Could the teacher have a crush on a student? Sure, why not.

Could the teacher act on said crush? Yes, definitely. He could if he so desired.

Would the teacher be a total idiot to act on said crush? Yes, definitely. He’d be risking not only his marriage if he got caught, but also his job, his financial security, his career, his pension, his retirement security. That’s a big risk for a little poon. He’d be a real idiot.

i am, but its good to know the details in how behavior of a teacher changes after being attracted to a student. Maybe from a regular male’s perspective or empathy.

@Mandeblind: You are what? (you just wrote “I am.”

It’s possible yes, but it’s also… it’s… eewww.
