hi guys, i am really confused right now.
so i'm 21 years old and i have fallen for my college professor who's 35 and married. i'm his teaching assistant and at first he seemed jut like a normal boring professor and everyone thought he was boring including me. but in reality, he is actually a pretty fun guy and we have so much in common and lately we have been talking a lot about everything, academic and otherwise. i am really obssessed with him and i can't help but think he likes me too in some way.
i'm not a bad person and definitely not one who wants to be a home wrecker but i just can't help my feelings for him. my heart races when i speak to him and i blush uncontrollably when i see him and say hi or bye to him!
he emails me all the time and in addition to academic stuff he asks me if im at home, if i'm bored, how my day was, etc...
and he also compliments me all the time (academically). he always tells me i'll be a great psychologist one day (i'm studying to be a psychologist btw).
and he also asked me several times to work together with him on his research and gives me interesting ideas we could do research on. now i know he might say this because he thinks i'm a smart student but considering his interest in me and my life, is there a chance that he might like me too?
i'm sorry and please don't judge me, i won't do anything to ruin his marriage or do anything that might ruin my education but i guess i'm just asking you guys if the way he talks and acts is different from how professors act with their students.
i'd just at least like to know and do you guys think that this is just a crush and it will pass?
please just tell me anything, i'd like all the help i can get. thank you
